5 BAD MENSWEAR HABITS 

What are some of your bad Menswear habits?

It was adorable how your daughter became camera shy. 😊

May I suggest something regarding the shoe trees? I advise raw wooden shoe trees, I mean without any paint or varnish. Preferably cedar. Raw cedar shoe trees absorb moisture and sweat and odour way better. As you can see, I subscribed, so no one will think I'm a hater. Peace. 😉✌🏿

Next great video from great man

Love it!!!!

Man new fav mens wear channel. I love your advice, genuineness, and i also actually really like how the video is filmed and edited LOL. keep it up you're going to grow your audience

You were bang on with your tie removal example. Many years ago I learned the hard way when I took my Armani tie off by pulling without reversing the process... All I heard were those precious stitches coming apart!!! I won't tell you what it cost me to have it repaired. Keep up the great videos. Peace.

Great stuff! Funny too!

Great video as always.

Great advice!!

Vladimir, thanks again for your usual good job.

Great video Vladimir!

Welcome back stay safe God bless tough times in our city NYC

Thanks for the Info. I'm always looking to step up my game. Stay safe!!

Nice informative video V.

Just found your channel. Your advise is on point. I have lots of quality clothes and love shoes. You have made me aware of lots of high quality shoes that I am looking forward to purchasing. Thanks for the eye opener

Teach, Style professor!!

Great points, do you know if Meermin is open in New York?

Hey, love the channel. One thing about the shoe trees, don’t you think the unfinished, cedar wood type is better because it wicks away the sweat and helps dry the inside of the shoe after wearing all day.. also I like when they have hole or venting up the middle for same reason. I definitely prefer when the trees are nice chunky and fully fill the vamp and heel areas and so they keep their shape. Also, the double spring mechanism on the tree is much sturdier/ better. Thanks!!

Great video! Love the guest appearance of Lil Ms Harlow!

Vlad, you always have some great information for us men. God bless you and your family.

Mr. Riché, another great video. Love your new co-host. Keep up the relevant and entertaining videos my friend. You’re much appreciated!

Own barber? Yep, same one for the past 40 years. Me. It's not a cheap thing. My haircut and shave I find I do best. Takes time, but it's also relaxing. I do need to look into a tailor.... 🤔. Like those trees, butt they don't come in 13UK! I don't play with my shoes. Box full of shoe care products. Shoes are my thing. The range you mentioned for shoes is where I roam now. Totally agree about the quality thing. Of course, stay in your range.

Beautiful child! Blessings and good health to you and your family.

Thanks for sharing. Shoe trees was mine until I started watching your videos. Now I am changing this starting with my best shoes an will cover all hopefully soon.

Great points! I was happy to hear you talk about shoes and tree shoes. Quality over quantity is a principle that should applied to everything, and i agree 100% with you when it comes to shoes as a foundation of menswear.

Good to see you Vlad., please stay safe. beautiful little girl.

Great points Vlad. As I’m getting into classic menswear, I had bought some Allen Edmonds and was going to cheap out on the care products by getting Kiwi. I decided to buy just a brush and black shoe cream by Saphir and Build from there. Got some J Fitzpatrick’s coming in whenever we get over this world madness so nice shoes are addicting.

Great video. Definitely been guilty of quantity over quality, & prioritising my shoes. But I'm correcting those mistakes & having a lot of fun building up my menswear collection!

Your daughter's adorable ! And your 100% right, I didn't start taking care of my shoes and ties until I invested in better ones. 💯💪✌❤

Another spot on video bro, I agree with quality over quantity. In fact, many times we only wear a limited pair of shoes anyway. Also, BIG UP Dad! On the tailor part, I have a good one now and have been working with him to provide me better quality in his work. Doing my best to keep the money circulating...know what I mean?!!! It was because of the first video I saw of yours that got me thinking about having a tailor is as important as having a good attorney, accountant and barber. Until the next one....

I a agree with necessity of shoe trees. Shoes are very expensive, take care of them. Your cardigan is very nice!!!

Vlad, I love the way you opened this with Harlow.! Kids make us better than we are.

I enjoy the real talk! You can have few shoes, but nice good looking quality over quantity best and appreciated to hear. Appreciate learning of the Swedish Shoe Trees as a quality recommendation, I’m looking into it. A lot of wisdom in the real talk.

Appreciate very much your comments on "5 Bad Men's Wear Habits" I'm definitely guilty of undoing my necktie the improper way always I just undo the necktie of course by the narrow end never realizing I was put unnecessary stress on the wide end of the necktie the other habits I have covered well I even have extra shoe trees just for when I may purchase a new pair of shoes again thanks for putting together this video very eye opening and informative

Yep a good relationship with a tailor is a must .I have been to mine Mr Territo for years and it pays to have a relationship with someone who has forgotten more about menswear than you know. All the other points, sound advice again shoe tress are a must.As for your hair get some clippers. And your daughter is wonderful.kind regards 👍😀

Just discovered your channel, man. Fantastic content! 👏🏽

Thank you, my Brother 💯👞👞

Harlow making a guest appearance, I'm not gonna lie I do have the habit of not undoing my ties but that is a habit that is easily corrected. I have some bad habits that need to be corrected thank you for putting this one together.

Great video Vlad. I always learn something new in your videos. Never knew about the proper way to untie a tie. Miss Harlow (hope I spelled her name correctly) is a baby doll.

Yes, Quality over Quantity 👍

Great video. Good advice. Regarding cufflinks however according to Alan Flusser in "Dressing the man" his book on classic men's wear. He says that when wearing a double breasted suit one should wear a french cuff shirt with cufflinks. This is due to the formalness of the db suit. Other than this point the video was on point. Keep up the great work.

I'm guilty of undoing my ties the bad way! And buying cheap ties in the past. Not anymore tho. Your daughter is adorable by the way. Keep the videos coming please 😊

You have a really nice contents, i had to subscribe. My mistake so far is that i bought the less expensive narrow calf shoe trees for my loafers maybe i will have to change them as well. Greetings from Angola

Way back when...before I knew better...I used to stuff the tissue paper back in my only pair of dress shoes...because it was in there when I brought them home. I was clueless and had shoes that looked a bit like wavy potato chips-

Exactly! Even Walmart sales shoe trees. Anything is better than nothing. Your shoes are an investment.

Hey Vladimir. Good advice, even though I don't always follow it myself. I am slowly getting more shoetrees, though nowhere near having shoe trees for all my good shoes. Agree about having a regular tailor. It really is money well spent as a good tailor can make even modestly priced clothes look decent. Watches vs. shoes is an interesting one. There are watch guys who wear cheap khakis or jeans and hoodies. Ideally, your wardrobe should be in balance. Quality vs. quantity. Yes, indeed. But sometimes, you need to go up the quality ladder to figure out the sweet spot in terms of price vs. quality. And that takes some time to figure out.

I follow you especially when it comes to shoes, I'm not sure but I thought I heard you said your in nyc If true can suggest a tailor I'm Brooklyn thanks

Great tips, here, thanks! I’d like a video comparing suits, particularly on spier mackay I know you like them.

Subbed. Totally agree with buying less shoes but paying more. See guys with more than 30 pairs, but won’t want to spend more than $150 per pair. Also agree with shoes are the most important part of your wardrobe. They are the foundation. Great video!

One of the great advice I've heard. Quality over quantity. From my experience after getting my first quality shoe, I really started to dress well. It changed my life. As you said shoes are the foundation of style.

Too many nuggets Vlad. Always learning something new. 👍🏾👌🏾. Agree with quality over quantity.

Great video V. My wife fell in love with Harlow! She is a cutie.

I have to find a tailor. Excellent video.

Man I'm astonished at that tie knot. With the way it wasn't difficult for you to make the dimple. I like kelvin and Albert knots. I am always fighting to get a good dimple.

Well Vlad, as always another great video,but baby girl was the highlight! 🤔 I wonder where she got her good looks from? 😂😷✌🏾️❤️✊🏾

I agree with you about having one shoe tree per shoe. I do! I still wear belts with my suits. I only own two suits atm. One custom suit from Daniel George and an off-the-rack from Spier and Mackay. When I was being measured for my custom suit, I was told that I shouldn't wear a belt with my suit. I ignored their advice because I like to match my belt with my shoes. I still like the look and I'm not sure I would consider it a bad menswear habit. I'm 50/50 but I wish I had one suit with side tabs. I don't wear suits often so it isn't a big deal. Which style do you prefer? I have a hunch you are a belt-less guy.

Insightful video. I'm in the process of evolution. I've been watching videos here on RU-vid discussing a more higher standard of men's fashion. Kirby Allison is the one who really changed everything for me, I'm pretty sure my watching so many of his videos is the reason why your videos appeared in my feed. The Elegant Oxford is another channel that really opened my eyes to more than simply style (particularly when it comes to shoes), I learned about tradition and real value- from a channel that teaches you how to shine your shoes. I'm on my way in a new direction. This week I received my first two pairs of shoe trees thanks to the OG Jeff. I dont know if you dig em but I also copped a pair of Shirt Stays this week too. I'm waiting on two pairs of cap toe Oxford that I ordered from Nordstrom's Rank- Aldo, and yes, I know Aldo is a sub par brand but I'm working my way up to the really quality brands- during these turbulent times a brother can't throw to many C-notes at shoes right now, I got two pairs of Oxford cap toes for less than $100- a black pair and a brown pair. Right now I'm only going for a certain look which I like to call 45 (my age). I'm a small business owner (painter) and I'm a custodian at my neighborhood mosque so dressing up is not totally an investment for me, honestly its more of a hobby. I'm working my way up to a better style but I don't think I'll ever spend more than $300 for a pair of shoes. I would never spend $100 on one neck tie, no disrespect meant but i just have a different set of priorities when it comes to how I look at money. I want to look nice but I understand some of these clothing items are investments. Most dudes I know would never buy a shoe knowing that one day he could have the sole replaced, thats just not how the average hood dude think of shoes, but I do, thanks to brothers like you. So thanks for another great video and congratulations on all the success you're enjoying.

In my shoe collection I have 8 pair of shoes of the following brands: Crockett & Jones (3 pairs), Joseph Cheaney (1 Pair); Loake (1 pair); Church (1 pair); Finsbury (1 pair); and just received a pair of J. Fitzpatrick. What do you think of C&Js, Cheaney and Loake? I think those are awesome English shoes competing directly with Carmina, Carlos Santos and TLB for instance.

Great video bro! Keeping it 100: I’ve been guilty of #3...even to this day...so thanks for the reminder! Glad to report that the other 4 habits don’t apply...and Yes, quality of quantity, especially when it comes to where we should all start: our shoes! PS: going to have to give that “new intro” another try! ✌🏽

My bad habit was purchasing too many fragrances and not focusing on signature scents that work for different occasions. The quest was for quantity versus quality juice. Selling off anything that I don’t 100% love. Great video as always. 💪🏽 Dad! P

Vladimir, do you think you could tell me how it is called the knot you're doing in the video, please? Thank you.

I’d love to see a ‘want to add to my shoe collection’ video along with the SotC video. That’ll be something to look out for. As always, your video is top notch with some great advice esp. with respect to the tie removal process. Never did it that way myself, but will do that from now on 👍🏼

Best intro evah

Awww she’s so cute!!

One of your better videos. You are getting a good rhythm, keep it up. I appreciate the honesty and “realness”. So many people try to be all things to all people and avoid offending. Keep speaking your opinion, it makes your videos legitimate. Btw would be interested in your opinion if you have one on Antonio Meccariello shoes. A bit more expensive than brands you have talked about but I think they are fantastic.

Yeah it always feels great to have my own tailor; Hussain’s got my back! (Literally.) What’s your tailor called?

Good evening Sir. Really enjoy your videos. I use shoe tree's from Woodlore. They are raw cedar and keep my shoes dry as well as absorbing odor. One other thing...you have an opinion on shoes from Thursday Boot Company? You mentioned best shoe for the price point. I think for around $200 they are the best. The finish may not be as nice as AE but they have a nice captoe oxford and comfortable. You and your family stay safe!!

Thanks brother from another mother ❗👞❣

My Father taught me to keep good shoes, a watch and a good hair cut. Even with limited money, keep those sharp and everything will look better. (You still snuck in an unboxing too.) One bad habit, my bulging dress shirts. I'm buying slim and putting darts in the baggy ones

What up Vladimir ? Your thoughts on Mezlan and Magnanni shoes

I agree. I start with my shoes. I also shine my shoes, after I wear them, before I put them away. That way, I know my shoes are always on point. One of the biggest fashion faux pas is, having a great outfit, and dirty or scuffed shoes. Ruins your whole look. I think I would add, failing to put your outfit together in advance. Both me and my wife, do this on Sundays, when we have time to press our clothes, notice and fix loose buttons etc., before the work week. There are several advantages to this, such as avoiding redundancy, because we tend to default to particular outfits, when we are pressed for time. We have busy careers, and knowing that we have our wardrobes figured out beforehand, is just one less thing on our plates. It saves valuable time. And knowing that I am prepared, puts my mind at ease. Now, I am not saying do the entire week like we do, but at least preparing the night before, helps. If you have time for social media, you certainly have time to get yourself prepared for the work day.

I am guilty of the dry cleaners when I 1st got started into menswears 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Yes,I am from NJ. My barber and the nearby barbershop are closed. It should be essential business 😂😂

Finally someone besides the Style OG that I can follow!! Love the channel bro!! Do you like Beckett Simonon as a good brand for a guy on a budget or new to the game and doesn't want to pay more than $300?

Still my favorite intro!

Do you store all your shoes in the boxes and maybe in the shoe bags?

I have never seen a beautiful shoe tree like yours before.

Finally here it is the video uploaded, good quality & nice to see your offspring make a cameo. I am my own barber. lol They can save you from yourself i like that one. All the drycleaners and tailors have closed down now vlad. By the way Vlad what month is your birthday? Whats your view on stuffing your shoe with paper in the abscence of shoetrees.

be carefull with those shoe trees! I used to own one pair that had a coating on them and the failed to absorb the moist from the leather, leaving fungus in my shoes, I'd recommend shoetrees without any finish

Since the shoe trees are relatively expensive, i put plastic shoe trees that shaped exactly like the proper wood ones and throw some camphor moisture absorbent in it, is it any good???

9:57 the classic smh 😆

I bought a blue wool blazer from spear McKay and a check plad neocut blazer from spear McKay. I loved both of the jackets inthe jackets into my local tailor. And the Taylor stole my blue blazearth and replaced it with a hand made blazer that it looked like he made himself. One sleep was longer than the other. It didn't weigh the same. It wasn't lying like the one I brought in there. And the man stole three shirts from brooke brothers that I brought in to my local taylor it was my first experience with a tailor

How much do the shoe trees in your video generally cost? Thank you.

Think I might be the opposite of number 1, I prioritise shoes too much haha! Hard to find a tailor that works on clothes you already own, feels like most of them work in clothes stores once you buy the item.

I live by you in Bergen county. Do you go to Enzo in Fair Lawn??

Bruh, she's adorable! Looks like she stole the show in this video! Big up!!

9:58 LMAO left the head shake in there with the audio from the next clip 😂 its true tho, quality > quantity

Your daughter's a sweetheart! Yep, shoe trees, shoes trees and shoe trees.... Regards Tony

How do you feel about AceMarks shoes

Carlos Santos Handgrade collection VS TLB artista collection. What are your thoughts about it?

Great Video! LoL @ "All their ties are ugly!!😂😆 no one buys an ugly tie! Surely it looks nice to the one that bought it?!? 🤣 I have 100+ shoes but not one shoe tree!!! They say a hit dog will holler! Owch!!! Got me on this vid... I gotta get the shoe trees !

VLAD, in today Economy and how things are looking I think you should talk to all your sponsors of giving discounts meaningful discounts to your viewers and to their customers because many of them may not be around after we come out of this and that is a reality I don’t mean to be somber but it’s the truth Would like to see these brands around for a very long time and I go to the business

I HAVE ONE PAIR OF SHOE TREES FOR ALL.MY SHOES. 40-50 TIES? I have a 100 ties by Brioni, Zegna Robert Talbert, etc. Believe it or not Brooks Brothers ties are my favorite. Everytime I wear one of my 40 + BB's people are always complementing me! $1500 watch I wish. The cheapest timepiece I own is 9 grand going up to 75K.

Vladimir, could you please explain a bit better why should be the shoes the #1 priority of the wardrobe? I've never heard that statement before..

Funny but today on my commute back home from work, I was considering shaving my head since it will be a while before I see my barber again hahaha

Bad Habit #6 - Not understanding what fabrics/patterns make for suiting or strictly for sportcoats. Wearing orphaned suit jackets as odd sportcoats. Holla!

Bad habits: 1) suit so button-popping tight it looks like you borrowed it from your kid brother; 2) low rise trousers that barely clear your crotch; 3) trousers too short - hovering above the ankles; 4) dress shoes with no sox; 5) light tan shoes with a navy business suit; 6) sneakers at the office... that's more than 5 and I'm not nearly done. :-)

I love loake 1880 cap toe. They don’t ship to USA anymore 😢😢😢😢

What a cutie!! You’re good looking, too Vlad 😂😂😂

Here are my personal 5 1. Thinking dress shirt with a sweater over it is good for "casual wear" (wearing formal clothes for casual settings) 2. Being too 'match-y''; matching clothes color too much. A lot of times it can look cheesy and tryhardy. 3. Having too much stacking on the shoes. 4. Wearing skinny suit trousers. 5. Buying several suits of a single type. Thats a nono. Diversify.
