It can be hard to tell from her videos because her talk is very unfocused and she keeps the camera on herself the whole time. I came to the comments to see this list of 11 because honestly there was only 2 I could pick up on and remember from the video (a pair of jeans and a suit). A pair of jeans and a suit isn't helpful of course - every man already has those.
Hi Courtney, I've been watching your content for just over 2 years now. I'm 21 and went out on my first date the other day and it went amazingly! With a developed mindset, training and studying hard, putting effort in my clothing and skincare, i felt i was putting my best foot forward going into the date. Eye contact and gestures were spot on and i overall just felt confident and the girl reciprocated me really well. We're setting up a second date this weekend coming, just wanted to thank you so much for helping me get to this point, you're helping so many people and i appreciate you so much😊🙏
Oh my goodness, you just made my day! I’m so glad it went well. Hugs to you, thanks for being here and for being so kind 🥰
"Training and studying". It should not be that hard. Woke feminism has obliterated what used to be wholesome and innocent.
I take care of myself, have my life in order, have money, accomplishments and goals, have the respect of many, have loyal friends.
I do not need to "earn" anything else. If a woman does not see value in me, then I do not see her at all.
Nice job, my man!
@@CourtneyRyan Why is a woman talking about what "grown men" need? Maybe I should make videos about what grown women need in their closet or what they should do to better serve men?
Congratulations!
Courtney this may be a stretch but I saw you completely transform a subscriber and hopefully you can do that video again… the glow up you gave him was amazing
Aww maybe I will do that again sometime!
Hi Courtney, what are you opinion on wearing an Apple watch instead of traditonal watches?
If my memory serve me right she like regular watches rather than smart watches @@MrTigerlilly68
@@MrTigerlilly68 a classic watch is going to give you a timeless classy look. Apple watches look techy and sort of dorky for guys over 21. But that is just my opinion, and also Alpha M. mentions this in his style tips as well as Courtney
@@CourtneyRyanI volunteer!! As a 43 yo man who just started learning about how to dress properly I’d love to
Great list, these wardrobe videos are always to the point and very informative. Thank you for them!
Excellent episode! I'm saving this one for reference as I fill-in the gaps in my closet!
Big fan of a quarter zip. Any plain dark colour goes well formally or more casually and is great for layering
Agreed. I am 60 and people don't normally wear suits to work now but I wear really high quality chinos, good quality shirt (button down or stiff collar) and a quarter zip in blue, charcoal, light blue, tan or a muted mass green. Then brown brogues. I occasionally wear a suit with black Oxford shoes, stiff collar shirt. I always wear white, blue, pink in plain, pinstripe or very small check. Basic colours that go with anything.
My young adult son wears exactly the same thing to an international law firm in London. It's basically standard business wardrobe in law firms and investment banks where a slight formality and client meetings are normal.
As outerwear I wear a quilted jacket or a long mac/trench coat in a dark colour blue/grey/black.
I strongly recommend this to any man as a safe but not stuffy basic wardrobe. The only thing I would add is a formal dinner suit.
Thank You for the List and Video 😀
Thanks for the suggestions Courtney! You’ve helped improve my wardrobe considerably!! 👍🙏
You added some extra clarifications in this one that aren't in your others like the difference between an Oxford button down and a dress shirt and I very much appreciate it! This was a great one, thank you so much as always for the help Courtney!
Love the Viberg call out. Just got my first pair and they're hands down the best piece in my closet.
Thank you for the advice. I’ve been following your channel for a while now.
Thanks for being here! ❤️
...brother I'll save you time and drop you wisdom now.
#1. Never take advice from a women. Doesn't matter what it is, never take advice especially about male topics from a women...ever
I’m in love with a woman, not a man. Put aside the ego and try to listen to the women. You will be surprised on how effective communication skills can help your relationship.
This is my choosing. If this offended you, thanks for your concern but it is non of your business.
This channel, her posts helped me a lot from a simple guy becoming a well mannered, well appreciated by women and guys as well.
And…. If you think that a guy shouldn’t take an advice from a lady, why are you here in the first place?
Great video Courtney!!
It's autumn where I am, and I've recently purchased two scarves, a woollen overcoat and some Oliver Cabell white sneakers to get ready for winter and dressing well! Thanks for the tips Courtney
Where are you?
@@Kidcouger2 Australia
Glad to have some of my choices validated and confirmed by this list. Got a little over half the items mentioned in some shape or form. My fashion is more military and outdoor inspired, with a huge focus on functionality over anything else, so getting the finer things down right has been the latest push. Got the bomber and boots down to a tee, but an Oxford and dress items are next. Low key on a mission to set up a Tweed suit as well lol.
A few pointers I’ve gathered for the guys looking for hyper functionality out of a presentable look:
-Wrangler flex jeans are your friend if you have bigger legs. You lose nothing in mobility or comfort, and you still retain the classic denim look. Great for if you suddenly need to spring into action, or more realistically, do some sudden labor that requires functionality over look. Also super cheap and easy to replace off Amazon.
-Birchberry Bronston dress shoes. 100% has the look of a conventional leather dress shoe, but features a wide toe box for comfort, waterproof pleather that doesn’t retain a ton of heat, and shock cord laces that allow quick donning while staying nice and snug. “Barefoot” -like fit, with a low toe drop for all day comfort. This gives you a good looking shoe that only the snobbiest critic will be able to notice that is easy to wear, comfy, and you can still work, be in the elements, and even sprint effectively in. 10/10 shoe.
-Core leather gun belt in the same color as the shoes with silver color false buckle. Another item that masks as fancy really well, and ups a more formal look, but acts as a hyper functional item. The ratchet fastener makes pants adjustment super quick and easy for donning and doffing, or adjusting for a full belly or adding on a handgun inside the belt line. Holds its shape well due to the plastic liner inside, and holds up the weight of a full size handgun without sagging. Again, a super comfy item that looks like something dressy that can be taken to the apocalypse with the rest of the fit. The buckle comes off as well, allowing you to change from brown to black to fit the outfit properly, or change fabric completely.
Finally, more just a clothing tip in general, especially base layers: cotton kills. Wear poly and or Marino wool if you can, when you can. It’s better for sweat and pit stains, breathability and heat regulation, and especially freezing temperatures, since that moisture freezes. Cotton underwear, shirts, and socks are for lounging around the house after a shower. I’m a firm believer they’re not for outside the home.
Let me know what you guys think
For the Oxford shirt, I would go classic button down as Courtney says, one white, one blue. I personally would go with a blend or a wrinkle free cotton so you don't have to iron it all the time. Pinstripes are a good classic option as well. My 2 cents.
Just bought a Green linen/silk suit from suit supply. Love the color for the Spring/summer season
Gorgeous! I love a green suit 🥰
Thanks for the insight. I have recently been doing an overhaul on my closet clothes/apparel!
Thanks for the helpful list. I also would recommend at least two blazers for casual outfits. For example a Tweed herringbone for colder seasons and a light linen or cotton blazer for warmer seasons. One can find some cool stuff also second hand.
Yes, you need at least 2 as you specified above. Versatile for so many occasions/holidays.
A helpful if you can drop $300 on a pair of shoes $50 Tshirt ect
This is list is on point thanks Courtney!
Always a pleasure! 🤍
Lol..WTF
A very important point about footwear is getting some kit to maintain them. Even the nicest shoes or boots don't look that great if they are all beat up. There are some cheap options on amazon and whatnot, but at least having a brush to clean them as well as some dye to recolor nicks and bruises on leather shoes will go a long way to make them last a long time. Add to that some oil and you will be set to always look your best.
I just ordered 2 shirts, hopefully they fit well.
These videos have definitely helped my wardrobe! Thanks for giving direction, I feel a lot better about buying clothing with your help
Another banger!! Perfect Sunday!!
Lol
If you are in a city with an Indochino outlet (like Seattle) you can go in there and they will give you all your suit measurements for your reference. Very helpful. You don't have to spend a lot. I find suits and jackets in good condition at thrift stores and take them to get tailored and spend a fraction of the price of a new one. For shirts, I really like Van Heusen at Kohl's because they size their dress shirts by body shape, neck measurement, and sleeve length - not just small, medium, and large. It makes for much better fitting shirts when you figure out which sizes/shapes best fit your body. But for bold colors and patterns I'm a huge fan of the Visconti Black line at Dillard's. I get a LOT of compliments with those! For ties, the last few years I've become a collector of Jerry Garcia's ties. They are just gorgeous ties that will also draw compliments.
I've been watching you and Teddy for quite some time now and you two really helped me in terms of fashion, relationship and lifestyle advices, and of course getting introduced to watches from Teddy. Thank you guys! ❤
Never take advice from a women.
Train, get fit , be a provider & protector. Women naturally will be all over you. It's easy today with most men being weak as hell, so many are lgbtq,fk
I'm happy to see Thursday Boots getting a shout-out.
They've been my go to for years, and many of them re-sole quite well.
For Denim: Origin Jeans. Very good quality and 100% American Made. Fits true to fit and size
Thank you Courtney. You’re the Best ❤
7:26 "I would never wear anything on this list!" That is such an funny impression.
😂
Steve Mcqueen loved the Converse Jack Purcell white sneakers, a really classic casual look
I added a watch a few months ago on Courtney's advice. It's a nice way to make a low-key statement if you're not a 'peacock' type of dresser.
God Bless You, Courtney. You work really hard to make sure us men are and project our best selves.
Shes been bless with large 🥥🥥
She'll never have to work a difficult job in her youth.
I just recently learned who your husband is, and I have to say that Teddy's channel is a favorite of mine, your advice is always spot on and so classy! All the best to both of you
Spot on....if you think GQ sets all the trends and you live in one of the handful of big cities. This advice is largely impractical and no one gives a damn if you don't live in those stuck up cities.
Hi! My personal favorite for every season, a casual lower formal, you could say, outfit is my very light denim shirt, black Levi's, black boots, with my Devil Diver watch and speedometer bracelet to match on the other wrist. Sometimes I'll wear my rings too.
My go-to business casual is a light grey shirt, rolled up sleeves, charcoal pants, and dress socks for that added pop of color (lemons!)
My favorite bad boy outfit in cool weather is either a burgundy or black T, black jeans, brown Levi's trucker jacket, boots, and of course a watch.
Summer: linen pants and nice printed Hawaiian shirts. Not the boring ones, the ones that actually look good from Banana Republic, sunglasses, watches, rings. Maybe a cigar later on too 😁
Winter: a nice sweater, navy wool long coat, boots, darker pants to compliment the sweater, watch of course.
I prefer boots over everything because they give off that rugged tough guy look, and I'll even have then unlaced to have it look very casual. I'll only wear crocs or Sneakers if I am working out, or I am at kickboxing or whatever active where I need them.
Great advice for sure. Changed up my fit thanks to this and the girlfriend definitely approves. Suits and Blazers are a must for going out. Thanks Courtney
A must is a very nice suite and a shin on your Shoe's and a very nice dress hat.
I have some oxford shirts and like then, but never knew any of that. I confess that back in the day I wore ties, I wore a tie with them
THANK YOU 🖤
I love denim. Can't beat it. It's hard wearing too.
Some v-neck merino wool or cashmere sweaters pair nicely with dress shirts in colder climates
Hey Courtney, I love you channel as well as Teddy’s. I go to Teddy for watches and you for fashion/fragrance. I really value your woman’s perspective. My biggest concern is finding a way to stand out without going over the top…it’s always a delicate balance. I would love to see a video from you giving advice to guys on how to thread that needle.
Eddie Bauer got great t plane t shirts and nice sweaters/jackets. Also, overland got awesome leather jackets for both men and women, but I do suggest to show up at the stores and try this stuff on for fit sizes varies by brands. Just an FYI
What would be a good place to look for trousers for the Oxford shirt and loafers look?
Thanks Courtney you're helping me a ton
Courtney many thanks for your advices ,could you make a video about "la veste de travail "?
THANK YOU YOUR ADVICE REALLY SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY. SO REALLY THANK YOU FROM BOTTOM OF MY HEART. ❤
I'm a big fan of a navy blue denim jacket; it makes layering for both weather conditions and style easy. Works with button ups, T-shirts, Henley's, a hoodie and cap, you name it.
Relevant profile pic/user name 👔🎸🎶
@@BanditBronze You bet 😎🤝
Got all that and my own tuxedo.
Breathed a big sigh of relief when you said Redwing boots 😂
What are your thoughs on smart watches? Something from Garmin for instance?
Rubber sole RM Williams boots, leather belts, Oxford leather study/work/utilities bag...
Ma am you knocked it out of the park again with this video thank you , I love sweaters and dark denim
I would love to hear some boot options as well as recommendations for nice white/cream colored T shirts to match with dark denim jeans.
Awesome video! Thank you for doing these from a woman’s perspective and helping us guys be more professional. Question: can you do some videos on a deeper explanation of men’s clothing differences like you explained oxford shirt vs regular dress shirt? Compare the differences in the shirts, coats, pants, etc and when they are best worn. Love these capsule and style videos but I struggle with picking the right style of shirt with the right occasion if that all makes sense. I think you insert some of that info throughout your videos but maybe a deeper dive?
I’m currently building my capsule wardrobe. And I currently have about 3 items on this list so far. It’s kinda hard because my body type is on the bigger side, so I’d have to really dig for some quality pieces. I also haven’t found a local tailor yet lol. But I’m also contemplating on picking up sewing as a personal skill to cultivate my own clothing as well. Thanks for the insight on important pieces!
How neat would that be to make your own clothes? 👏🏼 cool idea. As crazy as it might sound, check out thrift stores for suits and jackets. I’ve found some gems there that just need a good tailor… so find that tailor too! 😂
great list, thank-you! from a guy trying to style up :)
#12 - a stapler 😁
I'm a big fan of olive and tan suits, both in wool or cotton poplin. They shouldn't be your first suit, though, or even your second. I would say get charcoal and navy first, then if you need or want a third get olive - tan is only for the nice weather even if it's serge. Olive or tan looks great with a pink Oxford shirt, a tie with prominent navy or pastel blue, and matching walnut or cordovan belt and shoes.
Finally, not all suits of the same color will match your skin tone. Tan suits in particular can make you look like a millionaire or an anemia patient. This is where a disinterested second opinion can come in handy.
What’s a good colour suit, shirt and tie combo for the evening part of a wedding?! 😊
Yep cuts is great
Have every color t
Crockett and Jones 👌
Courtney: you are such a great inspiration for men who want to look their best.
Keep giving us tips and I think it's working well Taking your advice in certain styles that I needed to change I've got women attention on another level it's crazy 😂🤭 my buddy's are jealous at me now for no reason especially when we all go out, women approaches me more than what it was before. Sometimes staring. The funny part is... I'm not the one looking forward in a relationship yet my friend's are lol 🤣🤦♂️ ooh well... Not trying to sound cocky about it. It's just that my friend's wanted to know my secrets. Told them I don't have secrets just taking advice from an expert she master her craft following her dress style code what women are attracted to on a man. Thank you Courtney. It was a fun experience. Not doing it to manipulate women I'm not that kind a guy. Now sharing it with my friends what the positive outcomes from by talking advice from a woman perspective n that's coming from you Miss Courtney, I ain't taking no credit from it it's all because of you Courtney. You guys are on here please take her advse it's legit 💯
Loved the video Courtney. I wish I could wear more jackets around the year. But the average weather here in Texas is 90 degrees half the time🤣 I always enjoy fall and winter, so I can layer and wear jackets to my heart’s content!
Cuts shirts are great!!
I need to declutter my wardrobe
Keeping it classy as usual!
PS One other thing for the list:
dress socks to go with the nice shoes.
These will be thinner than the heavy cotton socks we guys usually wear.
If you want to make a statement, or be a little more colorful, you can get them in argyle patterns.
Always choose natural fabrics. No matter what they say, anything synthetic will make your feet stinkier and sweatier.
I love denim and T-shirts
I appreciate these videos, I've been longboarding and skateboarding for most my life so my challenge has always been looking nice coupled with "hey got the board in the back of the car and oh there's a nice spot"
These are by far the best videos on your channel, Courtney. Although I am familiar and educated on all items/points- I find myself reminded of how important the basics are. Really well done- PS- shout out to Teddy and the new store, next time I travel to Cleveland I will absolutely be visiting!
I’m so glad! Hope we see you in the store soon! 🥰
😮 thanks a lot mam tbh, its very very helpful 😮
My clothes are based on your advice and Ashley Weston I'm really into this
Yay!
Courtney, I really would appreciate your opinion. I love selvedge denim. What is your opinion on indigo stains on white t-shirts and white sneakers? And when is a raw denim too much worn in to be worn in the office with a button up shirt? I tend to use the newer dark indigo denim first in the office and when you see more patina only casual rugged style. But never be sure when to switch. Love your videos. Greetings from Germany.
Love the recommendations. I’d love to see a video on clothing options for hot weather climates, 90 degrees +. Outside of a repetitive solid shorts, tee shirt, sneaker outfit I’m lost.
I would suggest heather grey undershirts over white because they blend in with the dress shirt. White would show an outline underneath.
Denim. Hard to find some that fit nicely when you workout. My go-to is Tommy Jeans straight cut.
Fragrance as accessory too.
Kind regards!!
Naked and Famous (Japan)

All great raw, selvedge denim with various cuts from various companies at various price points! I personally have pairs from N&F and Baldwin. They have lasted me years. With repair after repair they show tons of character and have transferred to the more casual outfits. Always have a fresh, solid dark denim pair. You only need 2-3 at max if you do this properly (depending on their condition and stage of life) and take care of them.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Any Athletic fit s?
@@alidabbagh5540 Yea. They have "tapered," which is a full/ normal seat and straight cut down to the thigh and then tapers down at the calf. Each company may call it different, but you just gotta read their cuts.
@@Slov_ Thanks
@@alidabbagh5540 I have big athletic thighs and found Brave Star Strongman fit to be one of the only selvedge denim that fits. Most selvedge denim companies lean towards skinny, extremely skinny, skeletal fits 😂
I recommend Grant Stone boots. I own three pairs.
Ooo, you showed the watch that Murph had in Interstellar. I'd love to have that one day.
It’s such a good one!
Recommendations where to shop for selvesged jeans? It’s hard to buy jeans in person let alone on-line…..
suade is nice i have one but you can't wear it in spring or winter it's mainly fall jacket
Excellent channel! Any suggestions on mens white casual sneakers or similar style to consider?
11 for 11! Nice to know my wardrobe would meet the Courtney stamp of approval. Also yes, all these things make for a very well rounded wardrobe.
Love it! ❤️
My favourite brand of watch is Fossil. They have a really nice style and are pretty affordable. I have three and all of them get compliments. But Courtney is right, regardless of the brand I think a nice watch is a really great accessory for a man
Your opinions are good. 👍
Hey Courtney I wanted your input here: I live in TX and as much as I love the idea of a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers, I also think a pair of lug sole derby’s might make more sense. I just want to have a pair of shoes that make my outfits look more sophisticated. I’m a college student and I’m always either at the cafe studying or outside taking walks and occasionally camping and shooting my guns at the national parks. What shoes do you think would make sense for me?
WE HAVE SAME DRESSING SENSE 🖤
Great video. I like to dress for the occasion so I wear a variety of clothing not one thing or style every single day, mostly how I feel. I’m also a sneakerhead (it’s a way I express myself). As someone who has been in the military almost 20 years if it feels like a uniform I’m more than likely not going to wear it in my spare time.
Its chukka boots season for me 😄
Hi Courtney, what do you think of a short sleeved polo shirt instead of the round crew neck t-shirts you suggested? I prefer the polo look instead especially if it's worn on it's own in the summer.
Answered my oxford button down question already.
Great content, i don’t think it was mentioned in this video but i think HeyDudes are a decent look, also cheap and comfortable! I’m not saying it’s a great shoe or fancy it’s just a great casual style.
Ok, google is getting a bit too personal. I had an upcoming first date that I was talking to my buddies about and sure enough a first date mistakes video from Courtney shows up. Then I was complaining to my bros about how I need to upgrade my wardrobe game and sure enough, sure enough this video coincidentally shows up. Problems solved!
Thanks for putting this list together. I noticed this in one of your other videos, but I think when you say Oxford Buttondown, and this is just semantics, but I think you're referring to an OCBd (Oxford Cloth Buttondown), Oxford Cloth describing the fabric, and the Buttondown referring to the collar type.
Correct!
Yesterday I got me 2 solid white sneakers. 1 pair is for the gym and working out. The other is for casual wear. Finally those 2 occasions have their own pair of stylish shoes.
VICHI WAS HERE SINCE 200 SUBSCRIBERS- 2024 - ROAD TO 1 MILL FOR MISS RYAN !!
Courtney has a few colours that suit you such as pink, brown and neutral colours (of white and black) that make her pop.😊
🥰
Courtney, I don''t even recall how I stumbled upon your channel, but your advice for men is so on-point, I find myself laughing and nodding! You also remind me of country singer, Kacey Musgraves - this is a a compliment! Keep doing what you are doing and saving men from themselves, lol.
Thank you so much! 🥰🩷
Courtney, you should consider evaluating some of your subscriber outfits! It could be a fun video to make
Would love to see you interview Teddy and have him give a rundown of his boot collection!
I'm a boots and jacket kind of guy, so I have a number of each. It gets tough in the warmer weather though.
Same, I love good jackets but we get about 2 months of nippy weather in CA 😭
I wear western boots year-round, so it does get pretty warm during the summer.
The Charles Tyrwhitt shirts shown in the video are fantastic. I have a bunch and wear them every day to work. Durable, comfortable, and are wrinkle resistant!
My husband wears them too! Love it!
I had to look up selvedge denim. Looks like it's a finished seam on the inside, for people who are going to turn their hem up on their jeans?
Courtney, can you do a video on fashion tips for working men? I have to admit, I was one of the guys going "nope, I would never wear any of this." Maybe a list of things that we can do to improve our look, while still staying functional.
Great content as always Courtney! In my personal style I won’t wear penny loafers or chukka boots
