Sometimes, it’s hard not to think that “wardrobe improvement” doesn’t include shopping for a new piece to add to your closet. But, you may not always have the budget, the time, or even the option of shopping, and there are many other ways to improve your wardrobe without spending a lot of money.
11 things you can do from home to improve your wardrobe almost immediately.
0:00 Improve your wardrobe strategically
00:36 1. Figure out your own personal style “values”
Have you ever made a purchase that you regretted? Consider why that happened, and how you’re going to avoid it in the future to reduce waste and frustration with your closet.
04:34 2. Get more use out of what you already own by making new combinations
Challenge yourself to create new outfits. Start with pieces you like but don’t wear very often but still like, and consider why. Then, start making new outfit combinations.
05:40 3. Identify your own wardrobe Achilles heel & make a plan to tackle it.
Everyone has weaknesses with regards to their wardrobe. My weakness is that I like wearing what’s on top of the pile. Also, my wardrobe is spread out all over my house and studio, so I don’t always know where everything is in my wardrobe. While our closet renovation is now on hold, I know that I can make more of an effort to take more time and not just grab the thing that’s available to me right now.
06:37 4. Hand wash your wool & cashmere sweaters
Hand washing isn’t necessary for wool & cashmere. However, it is one of the most gentle options for your investment pieces.
07:22 5. Properly rotate & store your off-season clothes
We all know we should store our clothes, we just don’t make time for it. Even if you don’t have the perfect storage solutions, it’s still worth putting your winter clothes in the back of the closet when you don’t need them.
08:15 6. Use a clothes brush to brush off your heavy woolens & suit jackets
Take the time to use a clothes brush to thoroughly go over your overcoats, suits, and jackets. This tool is one of the most important you can have to maintain your heavy and structured garments, because unlike.
09:30 7. Make small clothing repairs yourself
We all have a travel sewing kit gathering dust somewhere. So now is the time to put all your clothes to use by fixing the little holes and loose buttons on your shirts, jackets, and pants.
10:12 8. Iron all your shirts
Some people find it very soothing! For those of us who put off this task but still love a crisp, freshly ironed shirt, then we suggest you get out your ironing board.
11:05 9. Sort out clothes that need alterations and list the changes you eventually want to make
We inevitably all have some clothing in our closets that need alterations. When you have some time to dedicate to your wardrobe, go through and finally separate out all the things that need repairs you can’t make and alterations.
12:05 10. Polish your shoe collection
Our friend Preston Soto at the Elegant Oxford has some excellent tutorials on shoe polishing. So we suggest you use some of your home time to go down the rabbit hole of shoe care. Good shoes are expensive, so learning how to polish them properly is a skill worth learning!
12:23 Identify what tools you need to better maintain your wardrobe
It’s worth knowing what you need to keep your wardrobe in the best shape possible.
12:35 Outfit Rundown - Jak na to + styl
Nothing is more welcome than a new video from Sven.
I am reorganizing my wardrobe *at the moment*, I've heard of CZcams channels that do polls to find out what their viewers want but this is just a whole new level of channel dedication.
I believe I speak for most of us fans when I say that the content of The Gentleman's Gazette is a medium against which us men can turn to when we're confused with what belt to choose or even what to wear to a funeral and one that most channels should look up to in terms of production quality, scripting and general knowledge in their field. Thank you.
I have something called Aspbergers Syndrome which means that I typically find most activities involving the organization or social skills to be of greater difficulty than most individuals. Through content you've produced like 'How to accept a compliment like a gentleman', your guides on 'is it worth it' and a multitude of other items I have been able to upgrade my style and shed that awkward and unprepared personality I used to have.
I do indeed hope you are having a delightful lockdown period and a great day!
-Carl
Mate well you have poor orginization skills you organized this comment very well
@@btiercontent3127 thanks for the kind words, I overthink things.
@@lth9520 glad I'm not alone.
@@carltrotter7622 all good lad still stand by the fact that its a wonderfully writen comment
This is a very distinguished comment you've made here and I agree with your points that have been made. I too have aspergers syndrome and it was nice to here that i'm not the only one who watches this,
-Samuel
So few menswear gurus ever talk about value or price - it's refreshing to hear it.
Raphael - I'll take the blue and orange pocket square if you don't want it!
Before I found this channel I was almost ready to give up on menswear since in the mainstream it seems to be all t shirts and low rise jeans with nothing interesting. I was already interested in vintage and classic styles, so anytime I see a new video it’s very exciting. I recently bought a pair of grey trousers with black pinstripes from the 1930s (my first vintage item!) that I hope to find a way to style with help from your channel :)
How are you nowadays?
This is kismet, I am going through my closets and am putting away my winter items, cleaning, and designating a garment for either donation or repair.
I’m a woman and I follow your videos. They are informative and created with care. QQ: what’s the clothing brush you use / recommend?
I also have a brush from Kent, the CP6 Real Bristle Cashmere Care. This one is softer and also great for delicate materials.
So glad you guys are still putting out quality content. It helps me keep my sanity. Thank you.
I really love the fact that if SRS says something is in-depth, it truly is.
My 11 year old son loves your channel and he loves suits.
thanx for all sven.great video as always with great new ideas for me
12. Get shoe trees. Even the (very) cheap plastic ones from Ikea are better than nothing
Bob Mob Yes!!! Hahaha. Shoe trees are great!
Stuff some rolled up newspaper in your shoes...
I fell in love after watching a couple of your videos :)
Very helpful thank you 🙌
I need a bedroom sized walk-in closet. I didn't realize how much my wardrobe has grown in such a relatively short time span, thanks to Gentleman's gazette and other similar channels. I think I may be at the point of considering donating some of my less used garments and shoes as I really don't have enough space for them all. I have a combination of purchased new, used and inherited garments and footwear that have brought me much satisfaction and have entirely changed my personal dress style and my perception of fashion in a positive way. Thank You Sven for your positive influence.
Great video, Sven.
Thank you for the tutorial, I'm a girl but I love your videos, i think it helped me learn a thing or two to improve my daily living. Keep safe sir/s.
Wow..... such a logical approach!!!
Putting my off-season clothes away has been a game-changer for me. Can't say I agree with you on ironing. I hate it and life is too short to be ironing loads of shirts and trousers. I tend to iron one or two the night before I think I'm going to wear them. I think I would lose the will to live if I had to do them all. I've always thought that if the circumstances were right I would pay someone to do our ironing!
6:00 didn't look like a morning guy on a rush, just some one with an urge to go to the men's room ;) Kinding you of course, many thanks for the useful tips, very appropriate for the period we have to go through
Great video
4:56 You actually really suit this look. If I were you, I would ponder on it for a while.
I would be very interested in a video about the music the three gentlemen like to hear, especially Prestons, and the movies you like to watch (I know Raphael released a video about movies but he pointed out how boring he found them and it was mainly about the dressing style of the actors)
In terms of making new combinations and remembering them, I recommend taking pictures of completed outfits (including shoes) with your phone so you have a collection of clothing sets on hand whenever you need some inspiration.
hello,thank you for all your helpfull guides and reviews. can you please do review for ysl kouros? thank you so much.
Have you thought to make a video around the men's valet? Like the stand to hang clothes on? Not sure if you have any ideas for a video about that, but I recently bought one.
Wow!! You guys always make a video I didn't think I needed in my life until I watched it. Within the first 4 and a half minutes I already feel more enlightened on how to fix my wardrobe problems. Just recently I separated clothes I never wear. It turns out there were more clothes I don't wear than I do wear. I need to go through my wardrobe like you said and make a list on why I do and don't wear the things in my wardrobe. GENIUS! So simple and obvious, but something I never thought to do. I just moved apartment and still have to put my clothing away, so while I organize them I will be doing following these steps! Thank you
Noice! Can't go wrong with Harris Tweed 😎
Weiter so! Euer Kanal ist grandios! Keep it up! Your channel is awesome!🤠🤵
Can you do a video on the topic of what you should wear In the area you live in and the classic style, along with climate? Thanks and good wills from Ellis
Can you do a video about bolero and top hats?
03:40 I agree. If you buy something pricy that you think will be a great addition, like an overcoat, a MTM/Bespoke suit, or that 150$ tie that seemed too expensive, write down your experience, how you felt that day or that moment. Also write the kind of outfits you believe the items will fit nicely with.
Your jacket at 11:57 is so 😍
Maybe It was but I couldn't find. It would be very interesting to take a look into your personal wardrobe or closet and learn how to organise storage system for clothes and shoes. If it is not so much personal
I got a Brooks Btother tennis shirt just like that one
Please make a video in how to start an classic wardrope like what what pieces should you buy first
Sven already has different videos on fit, colors, accessory types, and many others. Sven, Kyle, and Presten have made videos on using style ideas from historical figures. His channel hasn't just consolidated all the videos into one digestible video. If you want a slightly more modern idea of capsule wardrobe ideas look at Real Men Real Style too.
Nice vid. How about how to sew small holes on suits
I was wondering if you could look into selling a high quality box for sweaters made similar to the green box that your Sox’s come in?
This is the most usefull video of your channel as we don't need to spend 💷💷💷💷
True.
2:48 looking good buddy!
Very nice shoe collection, Sven. But I was surprised to see that teach pair didn't have its own shoe tree. You know better than that! ;)
I literally am only here for sven. This is the only valid man.
I’ve come up with a video you could consider, etiquette of smoking. I recently watched the old 007 films and thought there was perhaps an elegant way of smoking. I understand that smoking is bad for you and is dying out recently but as a smoker I would like to learn how to smoke like a gentleman. Best regards
Welcome Back to the Gangstas Gazette. 💪🏼💯
no way, I have the same exact sweater :D
What's the best way to keep my nice socks from picking up lint in the washer or removing the lint from them?
Just bought some $98 leather Chukkas that were originally $200, new summer boots. 😉
No Sven don’t hang your knit vests :((( that’s breaking the cardinal rule of knitwear
What should be done with it?
Corpsie Corpsie fold them and place them on a shelf or some other compartment that can fit it.
Corpsie Corpsie the reason is that they stretch if you hang them meaning they’re too long when you put them on. It can also mean the V-neck will stretch sideways down the hangar I’ve ruined far too many jumpers doing this :(
Where is the navy jacket from 1:17 from?
Mr. Schneider, what is the tie you're wearing in this video, and where I could find one?
In the video description dude :)
@@joshmiller7777 oh, thank you.
It's a Fort Belvedere tie, I'm saving up to invest in one.
I
Video ideas :
Gentleman watches
Gentleman cars
Pocket watch and a model A Ford
Oh I'd love to dress more like that. But with two small children at home, I find myself mostly in t-shirts and sweatpants. Sigh...
But then you’re over washing a suit just to have it worn for no reason, or vomited on unnecessarily.
Where can I get a high quality clothes brush?
Two requests: Errol Flynn style guide, and tips to bring ascots back into style
I made a 10 point list.
Have you shown off your wardrobe, as I like your style and would like to see your favourite clothing
I like your content. And I am new here so forgive me for asking. Are you German¿
I wonder, do y'all recommend leaving plastic covers on your clothes. For example, like those that are given from a tailor to travel with garments home, or even from a dry cleaner? Is that recommended or not? Particuarly, I am thinking of moths 😳
Mr. Rogers style guide
I keep staring at how bunched up the shirt looks around the collar.
👍
Does anyone know a Vintage store in the Philippines which sells Mens Clothing Items from the 1930s?
✌
*"Did I see you talking with Sven? Maybe not...Maybe - nevermind. But I'd stear clear of him if I were you!"*
Sven is wearing the same sweater of the one viewer he posted a picture of 🧐
Raphael, you're a whole ADHD mood, thank you.
The numbering is messed up. it goes: 1, 2, 2, 3, 5.
I thought I saw #2 twice but didn’t notice he skipped #4.
Only thing that I wear now is jogging clothes for walking the dog. :(
Just give yourself the excuse to wear a little nicer clothes when walking the dog. Make it an occasion.
@@cowboycody8094 Yeah, seems like going out is now a bit of an occasion.
Well as long as you aren't showing up like that at Mass. Go to Mass often at a Latin rite church that just may fix you right up.
Are you loosing a bit of weight recently, Raphael? I feel some of your jackets and seaters are now a bit loose in the neck area. Hope you are in good health.
Sven, geiler Channel und gutes Video aber ey nimm mal ab
Does Preston play video games
As we settle into the "New Normal", please could you do a video on Mask Wearing for the Modern Gentleman?
Why would you neglect your basement so that it would damage things in it?
My problem is....I'm having trouble with (defining/being content-comfortable with, etc.) my personal style. After 62 years you would think I would have it figured out...but not.
1st to comment
You can also flush your sweatpants down the toilet. I just did (I cut 'em up into myriad pieces first).
I’m not sure why, but i feel like this channel doesn’t get much love anymore, through no fault of the creators, but i feel like nobody watches them anymore :(
Don't worry, I'm here to stay and I have a good friend that'll stay with us. So at least there'll be 3 viewers!
I'd actually argue the channel is more popular than usual, there are 3 presenters, a well-respected menswear venter (Fort Belvedere), and millions of fans worldwide.
I think this is going to grow into something much much bigger.
I think it's just the fact that not everyone has a lot of time because of this virus circus. People are trying to make money to pay for rent and thus they don't exactly have the time or the energy to go on CZcams and watch videos after a long day of stressful work .
I honestly think you need a massive wardrobe clear out. Get rid of a lot of those ostentatious vintage coats, waistcoats and v-neck jumpers. These are some of your stylistic weaknesses in my opinion. The cool, simple look you have at 4:56 is what you should be looking for. It makes you look 10 years younger, 10 times fresher and better. If you used this as a template for your wardrobe going forward, you would be doing yourself a huge favour.
Sven is a Schwabe for sure.
This video cannot help me. To improve my wardrobe I should do many more things than just 11.
Please improve your content, your earlier videos were more useful and meaningful, nowadays it has become repetitive and somewhat dragging a topic.
I guess it's hard to keep coming up with new ideas so us long time viewers are going to notice similarities between videos
