I don't know if you've noticed this but nowadays it seems like everything is so
fluid, you don't even know what reality is anymore. They told you "wear faded
clothing always" and then there comes Kanye breaking the norm and now
oversized clothing is trendy. They said "wear your trousers perfectly fitted with
a quarter break or no break at all" and then the major fashion houses come
with oversized high cropped trousers, and by they I mean me. But hey that's the
thing with style, if you haven't noticed already styles are always evolving and
it's always changing. What you wore back in 2000, you wouldn't wear in 2010, what
was trending in 2010 isn't as relevant as it is today in 2017. But that always
gets me thinking, are there basics that you can always rely on doesn't matter
what trends going on, what's popping at the time, is there something you can
always follow. There sure is and that's why I made today's video today's video
we're gonna cover five must follow style rules that every guy should follow, no
matter what trend or aesthetic you're going for. Number one, don't be afraid to
stand apart. At the end of the day if you actually care about how you look and put
effort in your appearance and what you put on every single day, undoubtably,
sooner or later you're gonna be the best dressed guy in the room, whether that be
your classroom or in your workplace. And guess what, sooner or later, when that
happens you're gonna get people saying "oh you're too overdressed" or "oh you're
trying too hard" but at the end of the day that's just jealousy because they
didn't have the courage to actually care and put effort in their own appearance.
When your daily attire is this, anything will seem overdressed, so never be afraid
to be a leader and care about how you look. Number two, is how you button a suit.
See it doesn't matter if even 70s style shoulder-padded
oversized suits came back into play, how you button a suit will always stay
relevant and something you must follow. When you have a three-button suit you
always follow the sometimes, always, and never. Meaning the top one sometimes,
the middle button always needs to be buttoned when you're standing up,
and then the bottom button you never ever want to button this button. And this is
the one you see almost every guy button, just because it's there doesn't mean you
have to use it. Number three, is wearing undershirts. Now there has been a great
debate amongst men style community whether you guys should or should not
wear undershirts, if it makes you look more stylish or unstylish. At the end of
the day, again, it all depends on you. If you're a guy that sweats a lot,
you need to wear undershirt, hands down. If you're a guy that doesn't, then you
don't. Personally I sweat a lot, especially in the summer,
so undershirts for me - they're a must. The importance however is that you wear them
correctly. This is what will or will not mess up your style. The perfect ones and
the ones that I always wear are from our sponsors Sloane. The great thing or
you're goal when it comes to undershirts is, for it to look like you
are not wearing an undershirt. The only reason you are wearing it, is to protect
your exterior clothes so it doesn't get ruined. What Sloane does that I freaking
love is that they have undershirts for every skin tone color. If you go to their
site, I'm going to have it linked below click it and check it out. They have
different shades of undershirt colors for different skin tone colors. This is
perfect because when you wear, for example a white undershirt, which I do
not recommend you do especially under a white dress shirt you will always see
the imprint of that undershirt under your dress shirt, which completely ruins
that crisp clean look you want to put together when you do wear that white
dapper dress shirt. However, wearing an undershirt that's
close to your skintone color removes that contrast between your undershirt
and your skintone color, and you can throw on even a light white tee and you
can't even tell you're wearing a shirt underneath. That's exactly what you want
to do when you're wearing undershirts. If you guys want to check out Sloane, our
sponsor. I'm going to have them linked below I'm also gonna have a solid
discount code for you guys, it's pretty big just so you guys can check them out.
Like I said, go ahead check their site. Try to find the one that's as close to
your skintone color as possible and buy it at a discounted price. Like I said try
one, I'm telling you, you're gonna love it. And I'm sure you're gonna be wearing
that all the time from now on. The fourth style rule it's all about
brand and aesthetic synergy, and this is all about when to
wear certain brands together and certain pieces together. Being able to feel out
what stylish, what works, and what doesn't. Again that word synergy, things that work
together to create a better outcome. So for example, a couple of personal style
rules that I have is, you don't want to mix too many competing brands together.
It just clashes too much, it looks a bit off. Like I've said before opinion is
style base, to you and might not, but a good example is wearing in Adidas
tracksuit and Nike trainers. Again the brand synergy just does not work, it
clashes too much, and it will look off.
Easily swapping out those Nike's for a non-competing brand like Vans or even
Adidas themselves, you have a more stylish outfit. So when it comes to brand
and aesthetic synergy it's all about being aware, it's about awareness. You
need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself "does this work" if it
clashes probably switch it out. And finally number five, something I will
preach till a day I die, skipping on your basics. I know all too
well young guys that would rather spend all of their money on all the trends
that are popping right now and not invest in any basics whatsoever. And
without too much explaining you can see where this leads. When those trends die
out you, just wasted all that money and you don't have basics you can rely on.
This is exactly why we're starting our own essentials collection, to fill that
void, and creative line of quality well-fitting clothing that are essential
pieces that should be in every man's closet. But the point is once you have
those basics like I always say, once you nail those down then you can expand your
wardrobe because you have something to rely on. it's kind of like you're hedging
your closet against risk, when the trends die out you still look stylish.
Alright boys, so that's it for this week's video, I hope you enjoyed it. If you did don't
forget to drop us a like down below. Also don't forget to check out our sponsor
Sloane, I'm going to have them link down below.
That's it for me today. See you next time!
