step 1: buy 5 jackets
step 2: buy a bunch of shoes
step 3: buy a bunch of trousers
Instructions unclear, shirtless
Step 6 : get step 1 & step 3 tailored for you
Are you surprised you have to buy clothes for this?
@@youtube_handled Although this is the typical "increasingly absurd steps" meme format, I think OP is being genuine
Jokes on him I only have one pair of shoes. It's even just a hand-me-down from my neighbor. 😂
Simple is the way to look sharp and effortless
Indeed.
@@hespokestyle please ; where is the belt from ?
Or boring
@@fekedalacSimple is not boring.
Aka jeans and a black t shirt.
This is so try hard... I guess if you're trying to attract 40+ year olds this might work 😂
His "casual" is like when Gordon Ramsay makes "street tacos"
Or when you see the teacher outside of school.
It is absolutely casual. It is casual for people who care to look halfway decent and not a bag of soup.

Love how you sound calm and polite yet not condescending by the slightest, this really makes me at ease
There is a certain air of elegance, refinment in simplicity.
And also be fit. That plays a lot in being "dressed nice"
Exactly. Put nice clothes on a flabby body: Meh. Put nice clothes on an aesthetic body: Amazing.
Being fit helps with literally everything doesn’t it

Yeah having a good body shape makes most things look good 👍 especially with the right fit
As a very broke grad student during clinical rotation, I made due with 4 dress shirts and 4 pairs of trousers all from Goodwill. My shoes were my dad's old Florsheim oxfords in brown and black. I got way more compliments then on my clothes than in my more spendy and trendy days.
I did the same during college and grad school. There are some looks that just never go out of style and will very frequently get compliments if done correctly. There's absolutely nothing wrong with secondhand, either! (Unless it's Goodwill. Screw Goodwill.)
Just follow some basic rules, mainly that clothes should be clean and in good shape (no holes, stains, or fraying/thinning, nothing missing); be neat/straight (no wrinkles, nice creases if applicable); and be matching, or at least not clashing (there are plenty of websites about men's fashion with basic rules for this). And last but not least, *they should fit!* - not baggy, and not snug; they should compliment your body, not hide it and not reveal it! If you have a particular body shape that makes this part a little tricky, go ahead and put the extra effort into finding something that works for you, and just take good care of those clothes; it's absolutely worth it (I've been there myself), as the fit of a guy's clothes typically make a big impression on others that you meet, especially in professional and romantic settings.
Don't get me wrong, I'm far from a sartorial savant, but that's exactly why I had to teach myself these things in college, so that I could present myself to the world on my terms, and the difference really was immediate. So for any guys out there reading this who have struggled with this topic before, trust me when I say that it's really not hard to learn the basics, and dressing better is probably the quickest and easiest way to get a massive self-esteem (and attractiveness) boost 👍
PS - OP, sorry I didn't mean to hijack your thread, this just kinda evolved into some basic advice for any guys out there struggling with this subject like I did in college
I’ve found some of my staple items at goodwill.
That's how I shop these days. My Goodwill and Salvation Army stores are located near affluent suburbs so I can always count on finding quality donated clothing from popular brands
Yes! My grandfather had his own law firm and wore Florsheim shoes to work; he would keep his pairs looking good for decades, always had them on shoe trees and properly polished when he wasn’t wearing them. When the soles wore out he would get them resoled. Classic leather shoes can last forever, with visits to the cobbler and proper care… people don’t know how to do that anymore.
The number 1 thing is to find clothes that actually fit you well
Yeah, having something that fits you well, enhancing the good and de-emphasising the bad is 99% of dressing well.
Obviously making sure the outfit is appropriate for the occasion is part as well, but a well fitting "casual" look is going to be sharper than a sloppy "formal" outfit.
That's why you get things tailored. That's like 70% of the point.
And that works for you
@@meisrerboot What’s the other 30%?
@@CertifiedFresh7 Getting a style that suits you, the correct materials, colors, patterns etc.
"How to look like a college professor". You forgot the patches on the elbows 😂
So.. you do notice a pattern between cognitive competence and certain dressing characteristics.
"how to look like a professional". Fixed it for you.
I do say ol chap🧐
As a college professor, I learn a lot from He Spoke Style.
If he wore he fitting skin fit suit with buttons screaming for help and arms screaming for air....you would be the first one to ask him to dress his age.
Agreed. I’ve really gravitated toward simple colors and patterns as I’ve entered my mid 30s.
I’m 23 and I want to build a wardrobe like this
@@tokologomamabolo1911 fhammmmm me too im 22 tho
I transitioned away from brands and to simple colours, nowadays the absolute most branding I wear on clothing is a very small logo. However my wardrobe needs a lot of work to reach the levels of this yt short so I'll be removing and replacing my clothes soon.
No harm in trying the odd pastel colour once in a while, especially in summer. Or subtle, like with a tie in colder months. Gentlemen's Gazette have done some vids on colours, I recall.
I love how he mentions the materials too
Do you also love men?
Keep it simple, just make sure you use you have a $5000 wardrobe of multiple $300 jackets, blazers, and shoes to go with all 30 of your $80 dress shirts. It's easy to look good when money isn't an issue.
OR you can save money and do like me - nobody should judge by clothes - I stick to a simple wardrobe - black short sleeve t-shirt, black casual trousers, black shoes. Belt on trousers, but my t-shirt goes over the trouser.........keeping it simple, if people are judged by their clothes over their skill and personality, then we have a big problem in society, fuck them all - I ain't spending $5k on clothes just to adhere to some "protocol" just for the looks - The hell with dress codes, who needs them unless you are a VIP guest and having dinner with t he Royal Family :P
@@jimmydandy9364 Nobody should, but everybody will. Dress appropriately to the situation. In countries like the US, being fit, just wearing chinos and a well fitting white tshirt is already above average, and in fact will be good enough for a lot of Europe as well.
If you have any thrift stores by you that’s a great place to start with a low budget, you might be surprised how many suits and blazers are being sold for a more affordable price
Thrift stores I've been to, I've seen a whole bunch of suits jackets, pants and shoes. And I get older I should probably start dressing more maturely
Hey, he said dressing well not dressing cheap
Diet and exercise is first. Polishing up is easy for men, just take a couple of days or weeks to figure out cuts/colors/groom that fit you.
Note: If you workout, no matter what you wear, you look good. Trust me it works
Very True
Best advice ever.
Best strategy. No matter the age
100% best advice tou could give a guy BUT there some key points to remember, you need to be working out correctly. Lifting a weught is not going to change your life, know how to lift that weight will.
And your Mental Health is better when you Exercise
Drip is temporary but dapper is forever 🫡
I live under the Equador line.
Good luck wearing ANY of that here, only for those who don't have pores. 😂
Its mind blowing people know all this and follow it.. i just wear whatever i want to wear.. i think its simple like that
Exactly my point what you have is enough and you re perfect in anything you choose to wear as long as you re comfortable. Much love ❤❤
It’s not difficult. It’s expensive
it's better to have a few quality pieces of clothes than to have a lot of poor quality clothes that cost the same amount
That probably depends on where in the world you're living. It's not expensive where I live. It's also never about quality but fitment. A quality outfit that doesn't fit you well will look worse than a cheap outfit that has been adjusted to your body.
No it actually is difficult to a degree.
Money can't buy style. There are tons of rules and things you need to learn to dress good.
You cant just buy a suit and look good.
What all y’all are saying, I already know. I’ve been doing this my entire adult life. All these suggestions require a tailor.
@@jabez36 lol no. Do you even know how to match patterns? What type of shoe goes with what? What material goes with what. How to layer clothing without looking like a dork? There is literally tons of stuff that you have to know
my simple trick to not look like I'm trying hard is to in fact, not try at all.
Hedonism!
And most importantly make sure they fit well!
Perfect advice. I inadvertently found myself the project manager of a fashion show for two seasons and just dressed as simply as possible like this and never felt pressure to dress in the fashion that was trendy at the time and it worked out well.
Dressing well means no bulging tummy
This could be fixed with higher rise pants. I myself do have a bit of a belly myself and having pants with a higher rise helped make my outfits look more flattering for me and my size.
A man without a belly is like a house without furniture - a saying we have in Arabic 😅
@@yaroubthayer-752 diabetics?
@@Movie2Documentary eh it’s more like an archaic saying. Rich folks used to be fatter because they feasted every day on lamb and various meats. Of course nowadays we’ve got dirt cheap junk food and all has equal opportunity to get massive.
For someone like me, who dresses like a slob, it feels somewhat comforting that I at least have nothing to hide since I stay in shape.
Wow. He's dressed well and look good.
A printed black t shirt, black jeans, a pair of Vans and a beenie is perfect too.
being fit and in shape is the answer to look good in every dress and clothes
Less is more. This is the best advice on the topic I've come across. Too many guys overthink this.
Less is more bro has a whole cabinet of jackets pants and shoes direct opposite of less is more
@@L3g0m4nn having variety is different than dressing to look like a clown
Naked it is!

This is one of the best men's fashion videos ive seen. Simple and concise. You have a new follower!
Awesome! Thank you and welcome!
You have a new follower?? Yeah. You know what you also have? A blow-up kiddie pool in your backyard. Very economical, there, bucko.
I ❤ when grown ups learn to dress well.
I am a woman, learning this too - missing "the old days" of fashion, style and behavour.
Boot, jeans and an occasion appropriate shirt. Love living in the west.
I'm a woman but I like your tips and formulas. It also helps me choosing colour combinations for my daily outfits. I like simple, mature, clean, and elegant look.

Pre 1st step is the most difficult. Which is have a great body shape which require good effort of exercise and diet dicipline
The belt looks like a useful idea.
I'm in my 30-ties and still cannot fall in love with this style. Jeans and sneakers all the way baby!
Your what? What is “30-ties”? Are you in your thirties?
@@JosephQPublic I've got a collection of 30 ties.
Depends on what you do and where you are 🤷🏼♀️
No worries, everything about his recommendations is wrong.
I've always hated the word, "sneakers."
It's a regional thing.
thank god in the middle of texas i can get away with boots, jeans, and a button down shirt as formal.
I want to dress like this someday but I need to loose the gut. I’m morbidly obese so nothing looks good on me currently
Best short ever!! Don’t know why or how you popped up in feed but glad you did!! Years of knowledge in 60 seconds
I wish women’s fashion were this simple and to the point
It can be. You can follow this pretty much actually. On the other hand, women have more options to look good in, i oftentimes wish it was like that for men’s fashion
a one piece dress is pretty simple and breathtaking
We all live in bubles with rules that are very different from eachother
Some people need to dress a specific way because of jobs, or because they feel like it, or because it seems to be the proper example to give to their children's, some other people works in very different fields and have different values
At the end, their isn't one way, we should act conscientiously, I think that's what matter
Thank you for creating a men’s fashion channel without the toxic masculinity
Love your channel and I agree with you 100%!!!!
Thank you and greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentine
This was perfect! I asked a question awhile back regarding what types of material went with what season and you said you were throwing it in the hopper. I like how concise this one was.
Top notch.
Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing.😊 I have been a button down collar for many years and l like them.😊
Fall and winter knocking, throwing in a good word for corduroys here
I need 4 jobs to afford this lifestyle
Well fitting clothes go a much longer way than buying branded to look better. A super high end tuxedo will always look like crap if it's baggy on you. So no, you don't really need that much money.
Shu shu
Don’t waste your money on door dash and vidya games and you can buy quality stuff.

Many thanks!
Living in Houston, the idea of wearing a suit jacket/blazer outside of the utmost formal of events is patently absurd. In the summer here, there’s no such thing & “warm weather jackets.” It’s more like- be prepared to have sweat stains- kind of situation
I’m a 37 yr old woman and since the internet came out, I’ve been googling how to do so-and-so outfit. Cause I suck at it. I used wear all one color. Turquoise heels? Turquoise dress, bag, jewelry, and makeup. Ughhhh thank God for google.
this guy teaches us how to dress properly and be like gentleman. ❤❤❤❤
Damn, I just pick up a shirt and if it smells okayish then it’s good to go.

Cool .. good info
Great to know. You look fabulous!
Some of this pieces are beautiful, having said that.... this is just a formula to look like a grandpa 😅
Yes, a grandpa from the day when men actually wore manly clothing and not women’s clothing.
@@JosephQPublic🤡😂
For work no matter what your age, this is acceptable office attire.
@@JosephQPublic Yes, a grandpa that doesn't have any gay friends to offer him fashion tips. Grandpa definitely wasn't getting in the clubs back in the day.
@@JosephQPublicit's manly to not give a fuck and dress however you want. You should try it.
my man has like 1000 suits, and think he doesn't look like he's trying too hard
Who cares
Fr, this guy might be the definition of trying hard
You are a joker. Cause that's not what is meant by trying too hard🙄
And: maintain the gig line!
Hear that fellas? No need to look further. This is absolutely everything you need to know about how to dress. Quick and with examples. If you didn't get it you never will. It's simple dude. Just follow what this guy just said. Subscribed.
Great advice. Thanks, Brian.
Yes grown men need to start dressing appropriately and not like 15 year old skateboarders. Thanks for the tips. Keep up the good work
No thanks I rather be rich and look like a skateboarder than a grandpa keeping up with the Jones
Why do we need to dress up? Who cares?
Like the male version of a Stepford Wife? 😂
Excellent!! Thanks
Thank You kind Sir
This is dad vibes
Not at all. “Dad vibes” would include all white New Balance shoes, the cheapest pair of jeans at Walmart, and some old short sleeved, button down shirt. Or maybe a tucked shirt.
That casual look is anything but
You mean the one with the blue jeans? If that's not casual to you, then you need to stop dressing like a hobo.
When u luk good, ur physic is great in shape, whatever u wear,will luk great. 🙏
I got to meet Terry Pratchett a couple of times after his diagnosis. His is definitely the celebrity death which has hit me hardest, as I have spent so much time in his worlds, but Sean Lock was also a genius in his own way, and I do miss him so. I get this video. I cried when Terry died, even though we all knew it was coming.
Dressing for career success totally depends on context and industry. His looks are sharp but as someone who works in tech, wearing a sport jacket to work would be way too dressed up when all of my colleagues are wearing T-Shirts and hoodies.
Don’t follow the crowd, do what you want!
are you eve going to do a segment on watches? great video as always
Choose Apple Watch or Galaxy. No one wears Swiss timepieces anymore except grandpa.
@@denizalgaziI'm too old for toys
I shovel gravel for 10 hours a day this is super helpful
Very Nice.
The world today is very much thankful to the one who deduced the male outfits to just a shirt and the trousers , no wonder it's a universal formula , think for a moment what was called as clothes for daily use some 200 or 300 years back with the hair wigs on one's head.
Thank you so much.
Step 1: I don't have a jacket...
I rather prefer my grey under armor sweats with white AF1 high tops. I finish the look with a crispy white tee that fits loose yet reveals your most recent swell at the gym. Feel free to accessorize with a modest gold chain and a smart watch to count those steps. In the colder months, add a hoodie and jacket combo with touque for added warmth.
Thanks
Good but looks like you're constantly going to a job interview
Your taste is impeccable
You’re very kind.
We live in Hawai’i hardly anyone wears a jacket unless required. Please do a video on looking good for a more casual hotter environment.
perfect introduction
I don't dress like this because it gives me ocd. I will end up hours ironing and maintaing the perfect look
I would suggest trying to get over that. Perfection is the enemy of good style. You need to actually wear your clothes and move in them-you aren’t a mannequin.
Getting over that is not good advice when someone tells you they have a psychological condition.
@@Lumiden Yeah, thanks for the understanding. There are some trigger points where I feel I'm stuck in a loop and it's a harrowing feeling. Like going crazy
@@TruthTriumphs786 I'm the same, with these kind of clothes there would be so much tailoring involved and cleaning costs, all besides the imense cost of purchasing all that...
@@ZdamanetaNot necessarily. My office work wardrobe was wash and wear, never dry clean (except of course for jackets.) A nicely ironed shirt looks sharp when the occasion calls for it. If you keep your colors agreeable you can mix and match more looks. Shop for sales, just don't wear polyester! Lol!
Do this if you want to look like a printed replica of everyone else. Be yourself.

No one dresses nice anymore. When you dress like this, you get noticed
@@ArmyMedicRN you mean everyone looks the same these days? Wear the clothes, don’t let the clothes wear you.
@@SeshwaChickenKebab Everyone dresses like a child because, well, most people are children, at least in mental and emotional capabilities nowadays. Not many people dress nicely, even when they should. Dressing sharply is an easy way to differentiate yourself as an alpha in a world of betas.
You must watch a lot of joe rogan and jordan Peterson. I pity people like yourself.
38yo male. Glad I’m 🔵collar, 4days a week it’s jeans/duck pants, work boots and company issues long sleeve shirt. 4days off, jeans & solid color shirts w/ leather black sneakers. I keep it simple & hardly ever in a situation I need to dress up. I would like to look fancier, but not doing that just to get groceries, haha.
I'd also combine jeans with dark sneakers and button-down collar shirt under a season blazer
for a comfortable business casual outfit.
Keep up with these simple good advices 👍🏼
99% of males won't dress like this. Who wears a sports coat these days?
I wear one often. So do many of the males I meet at industry events, conferences, luncheons, cocktail hours, etc. I see sport coats every day. Not being snarky, just answering your question.

Men have the same styled jacket/shirt/pant options for a billion years.
Compared to women’s that radically change the shape/style of their clothing to make completely unique sets.
