Good points Antonio. But regarding the bald commercial, some guys can pull it off and should rather than dumping money into products that don’t do anything. Know when it’s time to let go and adjust. Work on confidence and accepting yourself. Work on diet and exercise. Make your body look great and no one will notice your hair.
Was going to react to that also, i shaved my head to 3mm when i was 33, 15 years later i look the same together with a fit body. My haired peers are starting to look 10 years older thaks to their rich but completely grey/white hair 😄
I'm 24 and slightly thinning, yet I'm also very fit too, moreso than many of my peers. I also have a younger-ish face, but at some point, completely Shaving would look 10× better than just letting it thin on top, and there's no way I'm going to spend money on these products. Sometimes the bald look can make you look younger too, so I completely agree
it depends though on how you lose your hair. I lost my hairin my 30s, and it got really thin in the front and then all over the top and I just shaved it period I'm very fit and probably when I'm in my 50s I'll grow my hair back out period I have a young looking face tdo people definitely notwhen you're in your late 20s and 30s. And it was a definite, a confidence deterrent. If you lose your hair like jude law then absolulily keep it period. But I could tell you from experience being the wrong end of hair jokes was not fun when you're in the dating world
Corduroy trousers makes me look old and takes me back to November 1979. I wore my first corduroy from Sears, when we first immigrated from the Philippines.
i am 30. while i started with flat fronts listening to you and Aaron, in the last couple of years, I prefer to have moved towards pleats and high waisted trousers because they lengthen the legs and drape better. of course, that also means that I have moved a bit further away from slim clothes, to something a little more relaxed, yet tailored, and that drapes better. fathers and grandfathers are likely to wear pleats but with super baggy pants, including leg openings and full breaks. majority of the people will do flat fronts and slim trousers. when you know and make the decision to stand out, and do it properly, pleats actually make you look like you know what you are doing!
I think pleats are actually more flattering than flat front, especially a reverse pleat. they carry the crease line all the up to the waist from the pant hem and they help visually slim the thigh by breaking up the light.
I like pleats and high waisted. Reminds me of the elegant movie stars of the 30's and 40's. Perhaps a very young and slim person should wear something different.
Antonio is right on about cuts, material, fit and what image you are projecting. I am older but I also understand what is classic, what is a fad and what is outdated. Sometimes you can use a dated piece if in the proper setting, like a retro party or a reunion where a vintage piece would help define your era and maybe get a few familiarity smiles and thumbs up for having the guts to do it. That being said, there is a time and place for that and it's not everyday. Pleated pants can help if you are packing a little extra or sit a lot. But that's one or maybe two, not six. I had a tailor redo a classic light grey double breasted real wool suit from the 90s for me, found among the boxes I had been moving around with since the 90s. Jacket still fit like a glove, no changes needed. The pants had two small pleats which are hidden by the jacket so just cut down the leg width a bit and that was it. With the right shirt, tie and shoes it definitely turns heads for all the right reasons. Great advice as always, Antonio. Keep making guys look good!
High waisted trousers with pleats aren’t the easiest thing to find these days, so most of my trousers are from Brooks Brothers. The latest pair of jeans I got are reproduction vintage style, because it is so hard to find a good pair that looks good on me. Thank you for your recommendation on Thursday Boots Company. They are my favorite pair of boots now.
I disagree with about wearing suspenders making you look old. I love suspenders and collect Trafalgar Limited Edition braces which I wear. They have become my signature look and while I’ll admits they area little over the top the alow me to stand out. I’m somewhat of a dandy.
You can't stop yourself from aging. However, staying physically fit, clean and sticking to classic styles, you'll look great. Unless you were born ugly, then it's just too bad and you have my sympathy. Cheers gentlemen.
Pleats are good for me because if I have my stuff in the pockets (keys, Smartphone etc) it looks still fine. Trousers without pleats show every item in my pcket, especially my smartphone, which is a compact size phone.
Antonio another fine video and for someone in shall we say an elderly demographic it reminds me that there is still a wardrobe out there for us all Keep going and I hope you and your family have an awesome24
Pleats are very stylish these days. Especially in the bespoke world. It’s the 80s and 90s baggy pleats with too much crotch that looked awful. I think older guys can pull off suspenders. It’s harder for young men to pull off and was frowned on Wall St (blue/grey suit, white shirt, red/blue tie, black shoes/belt/socks). As for shoes… grown men. No basketball shoes (unless you’re playing ball), no sneakers when going out for the evening, no blocky squared toe shoes, no Work boots (if not working), no Uggs, no sandals with socks, no slippers in public. YES to a good pair of loafers, oxfords, wingtips, in the summer boat shoes or driving mocks. If you’re on vacation at the beach, sandals are OK but upgrade from the TEVO sandals. If you’re on vacation and walking a lot a good pair of running shoes is ok, at least during the day. As evening wear, NO.
also consider that items could be upcycled or recoloured (especially cotton), there's no need to fuel a throwaway society. I do feel that there is limited reasons to let a nice leather piece fade, reconditioning and leather care are a must, for some items leather repair may be viable. Neutral coloured timeless clothing is the sweet spot
High waisted, full cut trousers with braces are the only way to go for an above casual look. Wearing belts prevent the proper drape of the pants. Pleated, high waisted trousers should be slightly loose at the button and hang from the shoulders for comfort and perfect drape. Cheers
Believe it or not… that RL button down Oxford that’s slightly frayed at the cuff and collar… while not business appropriate, as casual wear, signals money. Grownup private school elitist types. Especially when combined with a pair of well worn boat shoes (I like Rancourt or Sperry) and a Rolex GMT Master II or Patek Phiiippe (preferably handed down from Grandfather).
the biggest problem with pleated pants is similar to the issue with capri pants for women, or those below-the-knee cargo shorts that were so popular 15+ years ago. They make you look heavier. If you're skinny, looking like you have an extra 5-10 pounds on your mid-section isn't an issue. But if you're average or bigger, why make yourself look heavier?
Suggested video: how to pair rings? Like if you wear rings with color besides just the metal and want to wear two rings on one hand? Also when wearing a signet ring, what style ring would you pair with it? I assume something slim and simple, but you may have alternate suggestions. Heck could you go over the different styles?
They’re called “ring fingers” for a reason. Wedding band. Signet or class ring. That’s it. One per hand. No index, middle finger, or pinky rings! Full stop.
Ironing Dress Shirts. What is the best way to do the sleeves? Lined up with the seam at the top of the yoke, folded and ironed along the sleeve seam or is there another way?
That's okay, with that, the colors are lacking any appeal. I am old, open minded wanting to dress well, to have the right look for my body style. One day it hits you, your old, age and the body changes, the belly grows, face changes, hair, beard change color all of it. I still need to dress and look sharp. I have watched many of your videos, thanks for sharing them. I still have my clothes cleaned and pressed, even well after I retired. My wife asked why, "I do it for her", peace is priceless. Cheers!
It makes me feel good about getting new clothes when I donate my old stuff to the Salvation Army. Some hobo gets a new sport coat for a few dollars while it still has some wear left in it.
When wearing a suit, braces always look more handsome. Sets one apart from men who are wearing a belt or some roughed up piece of leather that they're wearing around their waist! Great point on footwear.

I feel like guys who can wear slim fit suits which flatters their shape simply cannot identify with guys who cannot wear slim fit clothing. It actually makes you look worse. Why traditional menswear companies continue to almost exclusively make slim fit clothing is beyond me, especially in the USA.
Pleats and suspenders are quite a comeback now, and they are more really comfortable most of the time. How ironic that gentleman gazette really endorses it 🤣
Yeah, I don't know who made that chart. Some of those numbers might be WAY off, but Saville Row guy who likes to argue with me will blow a gasket when he sees wool trousers only lasting 4 years instead of 40 and leather jackets can last a generation or two? Also, I just consider pleated pants more formal than flat front ones for pretty much any age.
BUT most trendy clothes won't last that long anyway, so if you're buying them used to give them a second life and don't care if you look dated, then maybe you will find some still in good shape but won't typically last you very long, either.
I've never had good luck with barbers so I've been cutting my own since I was in my 20s already. Never bothered wasting all that money on "product", either. If the hair was a certain length, it would mostly part in about the same place every time....
Suitsupply Pini Parma Berg and berg But or those pricepoints you can find plenty of made to measure alternatives that are just as good and maybe even cheaper
7:09 A good leather jacket should last a lifetime and looks better when it gets a bit worn out. If you wear a brand new jacket every 4 years people will most likely think that you are either buying fast fashion or that you are a criminal.
But I’am old and it always amazes me on how people with hair comment on what we should do . Ready to embrace being old, ugly and bald and giving completely up on fashion, grooming etc born ugly and just going to die just as ugly no matter what I do or don’t do.
Most of the time what some associate with old people, will inevitable become chic in a decade or so, and then become associated with young people. Just look at flat caps. 10 years ago people wouldn't have been caught dead wearing them because it was something only old men wore. Now that most of those have passed and because of shows like Peaky Blinders you see them everywhere one 20somethings.
Im surprised the comfort footwear is considered the contentious point. For me, its never stick anything up your nose - not your fingers, tweezers, electric hair cutter, or any other cutlery. Just dont. Stop. The discomfort you experience after cutting the nose hair too deeply will teach you a great lesson. If you cant shave the hairs with a flat razor that stick out, then you probably arent shaving yet. As for footwear - flip-flops, crocks and other stupid shoes are for the beach and nowhere else. Children wear flip-flops, not men. Its like shorts - dress in a manner that if an emergency broke out, you are not going to die because you couldnt run through broken streets, glass, or uneven broken terrain. That is basic self-awareness and what was once fundemental survival instinct. Only a child would dress in shorts during the winter,and they do. For God sakes, what if something you cant think of happens...I shake my head every time I see an adult child in flip-flops.
I admire the fast-talking 1940s-50s fair-ground hustler chat that this guy employs to get these moderns up outa their arm-chairs and on to the groove at last!
Disagree about the worn out clothes. I don't think it makes a person look old. It makes the clothes look old and rundown, but people of all ages can wear worn out clothing. Wearing comfortable shoes. Just going by my experiences over the years and what I have seen, wearing loafers and shoes of that nature is what makes a person look old. It's the same with the sports jacket. I never see a younger person wearing one unless they're going somewhere special. That's an older person item to wear.
Did he say pleats are hard to find and you’d have to purposely set out to look for them? What style planet is he on. Pleats are in again and they are everywhere
I don't care what anyone says, if you 30 and older and you have just one of the following you should be wearing pleated pants unless you are exercising everyday. Multiple keys, a wallet, a phone. I really don't want to see anyone wearing flat front pants and their thighs begging to be rescued with pocket bulges.
The most ironic thing out of all of this is classic pieces makes you look old and out-dated. No one, NO ONE, will look at some graphic tee or studded pants from 10 years ago and think "oh he looks old", because young people these days DO DRESS LIKE THAT. Wearing fitted polo and chinos makes you look old. Wearing classic jacket makes you look old. Wearing a sports jacket makes you look old. If you want to look young, you must follow the trends. That's it
Practically all men's fashion points are "outdated tech." Buttons and zippers are outdated tech...Velcro. Shoelaces are outdated tech: Velcro. Ties, suit and sports jackets...all are outdated tech. So, what?
@kirkdarling4120 Don't be a contrarian, darling... My point is , there are better options in today's day and age. What point are you making? None.. You just want to disagree.
I am old I like pleats. What I don’t like is skin tight trousers, high water cuffs, baggy cuffs. Trouser cuffs should hit the top of the shoe. I’m 77 years old I wear cloths that I like. If it doesn’t please you that is just to bad. I’m not dressing for you. I dress so I am comfortable, for the occasion. I’m bald on top. I shave my head every day. I quit going to a barber. He would charge me full price for only half a head of hair. I may dress like a bum today. It’s Saturday, I’m staying home not trying to impress anyone. On Monday I may wear a suit button down collar shirt, and pocket watch in vest with chain. Not to impress you, but I feel good dressed this way and the watch is just a watch my grandfather would wear. Yes you wear a pocket watch, it isn’t stuffed in your trouser pocket with chain dangling out. Have a nice day. Remember Every day is a holiday Every meal is a banquet Every formation is a parade
