little dark age - men's fashion 

As a young kid, I always wanted to wear a suit and tie. Growing up wanting to put on such attire like those figures, I was always told that it is not in our place to wear one. That it is not in our "class" to wear one. Now as an adult, I put on such attire of three button coat and suit and tie. But where I am from, this is either frowned upon or rather you'd become an object of ridicule amongst the norm. Why? Because its apparently "out of place to wear such a suit". They say it's not in our standards to wear such especially for our generation. Sometimes they say you're putting up airs or showboating for wearing one. But I ask, who the hell set the standards of what is "normal", or considered "tolerable"? Who the hell told us what to wear and what we must follow the trend? Tik-Tok and their influencers? Why are they so bothered that when a few people wear something like a suit and tie? Since when did ties became an eye raiser? Must we be obedient to a cabal of modern influencers? I say wear what is making you happy, not because of some cringe trend that blends you in the crowd. If we let some lousy cringe tolerating conspiring app be our trendsetter for our lives, then we really have let ourselves into the dark ages.

Long overcoats never stopped looking badass. I should buy one. Update: I got one in an end-of-year sale and have already been complimented on it several times.

As much as I love modern comfort, the suit is what makes me feel like a man. Not some cheesy t-shirt and jeans.

I'm not into that "reject modernity, embrace tradition" thing, but I couldn't agree more with this. Today's streetwear looks extremely ugly.

how many times have you watched this video ME : yes

Though these outfits are varied in detail and time, there are two elements shared throughout - structure, and layering. Those are the two simple elements of style that must return to make any future styles look good.

Not gonna lie, i might have underestimated the fashion of men a long time ago, i really like the older ones more

I wish we could bring that style back

If I could time travel and alter history just to make it so that wearing capes is the norm, I would. I'm serious.

I must say, a poor guy in the 20th cnetury dresses better than some rich people today

God, even the revolutionaries who where usually down in luck had a sense of elegance and style.

I'm not even going to lie, as woman, vintage male fashion is extremely attractive. Though, I don't know if my opinion counts much seeing as I absolutely adore vintage fashion and other things in general...

Long coats, trench coats, top hats, hats in general, Victorian clothing. You can never go wrong with the classics.

I like Peaky Blinders for various reasons but one of them is the esthetic of the time, just so glorious to see everyone so nicely dressed even if their pieces were cheap ones they looked classy

''..Why need supreme, champion, gucci, fancy clothes when you have that good 'ol black suit with that tie or that one soldier uniform?" -My old 9th grade class mate

As a Turk, you have no idea how proud I feel when I see Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in your edit. God bless those who gave their bloods, sweats and tears for their country and managed to look fashionable and cool while doing so!

What women wants men to wear :jeans and t-shirts What men actually want to wear:14century knight amour

It is really refreshing to see that you included Atatürk as well; he was probably one of the most well-dressed and good-looking leaders in history.

I am simple man: I see Atatürk, I clicked it.

Interesting fact: the photo at 0:31 is a photo of some of the RMS Titanic’s crew members that survived the sinking. The man that is 2nd to left on the first row (lowest row) in between the men with 2 mustaches, his name was Frederick Fleet, he was the lookout that spotted the iceberg and yelled on the phone to the ship’s officers “Iceberg Right Ahead!” When he spotted the iceberg. Before he got onto a lifeboat he helped many escape off the ship during the sinking and helped with many court sessions discussing what happened that night. He died in the 1960s by suicide. RIP Frederick Fleet

I wear usually my own style and not the trends a lot of tiktokers use, Hell i bought myself a fringe coat and people complimented about it.

I once wore a suit and tie, as I took a walk outside people were judging me cause they thought I was a show-off. I find modern society's fashion and mindset very disappointing. Edit: If anyone is wondering why, it's because I live in a third world country(Philippines). People here don't wear suit and tie as an everyday outfit, rather we are more into western influence like modern clothing. Even our president wears polo shirts for special meetings and public announcements.

As a woman: yes!!! I absolutely adore this! It’s so attractive! Men: if you want to dress like this, follow your heart. You only live once. Life is too short to live according to what others decide for you to wear. Your body, your choice.

As a girl myself, today's fashion really is bland. The amount of ridicule I have faced because I don't like wearing jeans is tremendous I even wore a simple dress and I was made fun of for being a show off Even make up is boring. You have the opportunity to play so much with colors and all you do is make your face more "earthy"? What's the point of make up then? Just to hide your imperfections? People should embrace what they like more often and be more happy with themselves

Petition to make this kind of fashion modern again

Really liked the beginning especially. Haven’t heard this mix of the song used before and thought it was well done. Good stuff my guy

Honestly, it's kind of my dream to have my wardrobe consist of 1800s - 1950s era. Especially military uniforms. I was never interested in serving in the military but I am a fan of their fashion all those centuries ago. I don't want to be judged but one of my goals is to go out in public wearing a German uniform WITHOUT a swastika band, of course. I am not a fan of the atrocities of the Germans but I can't get over how good they looked. I mean, even the video itself literally says that the good and the bad of the past all shared the trait of looking good. I don't care if I get looked down on. I don't care if I get called a "Nazi." At least I am not ashamed to bring back tradition at a time where technology and modernity has killed it... obviously I am talking about clothes, not Nazism. I want to bring back real men's fashion. I want to start a revolution.

As a big fan of Classic Menswear, I totally 100% agree with this video! I love wearing suits, whenever I hangout with my buddies I usually wear one I just love the days when most men wear suit everytime they going out their houses like the 1930s for instance, most people nowadays dressed down and there are only a few that still dressed up sadly. I just don't like the today's casual clothes like t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, tight jeans, sneakers, etc. and honestly I prefer to dress like a gentleman from 1930s Well anyway, awesome video there dude! You spoke nothing but facts in the video!

This is incredibly amazing! I wake up so much and just wish I could dress like a 19th century man dressed

"A suit is a modern gentlemen's armor" and "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”

Each generation men are becoming more feminine than previous generations.

i remember back times in turkey i was affected by Mustafa Kemal Creator And First president of Turkish Republic who won indepence war i was affected by his ideas and style he was giving style so much atteniton he even make a deal for army uniforms with hugo boss what a frickn legend

Nothing will be better than the old fashion

Even as a girl the suits look so appealing to wear. They're simple, yet extremely fashionable and can be tailored to be unique in it's own way. A few or couple of accessories would compliment it well, though on its own is already great. Plus the men's fashion even before suits were great as well. Idk, I adore the aesthetics and clothes from before, but I still think current men's fashion have their gems :)

I'm a simple man I see Nicola Tesla , Mustafa Kemal or Winston Churchill I click

Dude, hitler was a monster, but damn, he was drippin

Here's an idea, wear what you like and stop bitching about what others wear, fashion is subjective.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk❤️

Average modern american tiktoker teenager drip vs chad classic european uniform

Men and boys now: *So called modernist clothing they wear* What men and boys really wear as a modernist man would wear: *Chad looking Victorian era clothing, old American fashion from the 19s and a little bit of the 18 era clothing*

I know this line is dead but i’m gonna say it anyways. “Reject Modernity, Embrace tradition.”

Or you just let people how they dress, and you know that back in the day men used to wear dresses and women shoes?

Society: “nooo you can’t just wear whatever you want!!! You have to adhere to our culture!!! You have to wear ripped jeans and a tye dye sweater or you’re a total weirdo!!!” Me, in my napoleon cape and military garb: no.

"if one day my words are against science choose science." -Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

Everyone gangster till they see the SS uniforms

This is actually European fashion. The other parts of the world had their own

I would really, really like it if cloaks made a comeback along with classical wear. They are incredibly stylish.

The most obvious example are the nazis. Of course they deserve what they got and even more but man, It's like Hugo Boss took a life mission to make these guys look ultimate badass

Don't try to look fashionable. Fashion is temporary, *style* is eternal.

Glad this isn't about people who do some gender-bending

Atatürk’ü burada görmek beni çok mutlu etti ve gururlandırdı🤍

Modern "man" VS Traditional Man

The future si really gay 🙁

As much as I hate to say this, you forgot to mention a certain Austrian painter. Dude committed atrocities for sure, but you have to admit he had an absolutely fine taste in fashion.

When I was an elementary school student, I hated the classic style, but then dress code was cancelled. Classmates began to walk as they want (tracksuits, etc.) I fell in love in classic style and went and bought myself an expensive suit and two coats. I still walk like this and I really like it, I feel like a bandit or an influential person, people watch a teenager dressed in a black striped suit with a dark blue shirt and a tie of the same color, i think for people it's strange seeing teenager like this. I person who loves everything old: fashion, cars(w140 is best), music(BBB, Alphaville, Sandra, Modern Talking, etc.) I even have cassette music player! So ,yeah, it's cool wearing not like modern fashion says, especially girls in my class likes how i look and other girls in my town too! Pure classics!

Man. Even in the 60s-70s despite the mass wave of counter culture, men dressed and acted more traditionally masculine. Just compare the way a man walked and carried himself back then with long flowing hair open chest of hair with fashionable chains bearing against him and a nice pair of pants and sunglasses. Men had nice sturdy and reliable boots and several other companies such as rock port that made durable shoes for walking. And don’t even get me started on the variety of band t shirts that would go well with a fine pair of bell bottoms. There was a certain ruggedness of masculinity felt amongst the standards of Americana. I wish I could see those times in person and live through them but albeit I am still grateful to be able to go through em with pictures of my dads old polaroid. But compared to today when people go out all I see are sweat pants and sneakers. Nobody puts any effort into anything. We’ve become a culture that has lost swagger, class, power, and elegance. How you dress is a statement and a reflection.

I hate how technologically we have advanced but socially we seem to have regressed. Imagine a future where we have all the technology we have to today but with a society of respectable, sensible, and classy people. Now that I would call a truly modern world.

I wear a suit every time i can. Don't ask why, it just make me feel good.

Thank you for putting Atatürk ❤❤

The saddest thing is that the hats are gone.

I am simple man, i see napoleon i click

I always wanted to wear a well-fitted suit it just looks so good! modern fashion isn't bad but it lacks neatness and modesty

It sad that hugo boss Third Reich edition is too taboo to wear

Atatürk 🇹🇷

We all know Hitler is bad but good God he knows how to dress his men

We will restore old fashion...don't worry

We need to bring back hat culture

Father of Turks Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Love from Turkey for putting our father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The most charismatic leader i have ever seen.

This entire comment section is just “im not like other girls”

Men cosplaying as peaky blinders characters, are just as cringy as modern fashion.

0:36 I love overcoats, shame there's no one selling them.

Man I always wanted to rock a trench coat 24x7 just like Aiden Pierce, John Constantine and Tommy Shelby

I think there’s a deeper reason why this kind of stuff fell out of fashion. Suits and nice clothes indicate a degree of wealth and pedigree. It’s a status symbol. It’s a clear indicator of an “in-group” and an “out-group”. You could tell someone is powerful and wealthy just by what kind of hat they wore. In a way, this made them target. In times of intense social strife, like revolutions, it was extremely easy for someone to tell who was who just at a glance. The guy in boiler suit and flat cap was poor. The guy in the suit and top hat was rich. This began to change after the Second World War. I think there was an unconscious push to homogenize the culture of the classes. I don’t think this is entirely unfounded. The second largest military and economic power in the world at that time was the USSR, and they had an interest in agitating for revolution abroad. So, the rich and poor would dress the same way, or at least, they would wear similar looking clothes. This might “bring people together”, so to speak, make the class divisions less painful. Of course, the divisions still exist, only now you can’t immediately tell who’s who. In the 18th century, if you saw someone like Marie Antoinette, without knowing anything about who she is or what she does, you would see that she dresses extravagantly compared to everyone else. Without even knowing her name, you would at least know that she was rich, and probably powerful. Compare that to someone like Mark Zukerberg. If you had never seen or heard of him before, and met him on the street, would you think that he was rich and powerful? He would just be another young guy in jeans and a t-shirt. He’d look no different from anyone else. A lot of people in the 21st century flat out deny that there are class divisions. I think part of this is due to the fact that the rich don’t “act rich” anymore. Everyone wears tshirts and gym shorts, whether your a McDonald’s worker, a college professor, or a multi-billionaire. Or at least, that’s my theory. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Hate him or love him, Napoleon had a sick-ass attire, not gonna lie

oh no men dress different now 😢😢😢😢 what will we do noooo 😭😭😭😭😭

The key to pulling off the look nowadays is to either completely full send it or just take inspiration. A black wool coat never looks bad, and they make ones in more modern styles. There are literally tons of casual button down shirts that look better than T shirts, or even baseball tees (the ones with the differently colored sleeves, not a t-shirt with a team logo on it), henleys, polos, etc. You can find wool slacks, a nice pair of chinos, dark wash jeans, and all sorts of pants that look nicer but aren't too 'dressy'. A pair of leather boots in black or brown are good to cap it off. Earth tones, subdued colors, those were also hallmarks of 20th century fashion. Hell, peaky blinders has given me the confidence to wear a flatcap around and I've gotten compliments. We live in an age that supposedly broke the rigid social standards of yesterday, but that doesn't mean we can't still follow them. You just need the confidence to break with the crowd a little bit.

Some guys think it's not right for men to wear tights. Those same guys have the freedom to say such things because of men who wore tights.

Wtf is up with these anime waifu, meme and roblox accounts talking about how a real man should dress😂☠️

*MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK o7*

I don't want to judge people from their clothing. Everybody likes any clothing style and I think first half of the 20th century's clothing is good.

Atatürk 😍

0:57 Society when it was good

Atatürk

WTF, where's the nazis and red army? They too deserve the points for fashion.

Yeah let's all wear kilts and togas. For real, would be fucking awesome

❣❣ATATÜRKKKK❣❣🦾🦾

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 🇹🇷

ATATURK❤️

You should have showed based Germany and Austrian painter.

Me rejecting todays boys fashion, then sees this video: *Epicly gets a new idea for what I'll wear in the future* This was really exciting to see how some people today wear some questioning clothing like today's fashion for boys makes me want to burn it and when I looked back at older societys I see REAL modern men wearing coold ties and suits that make you the average chad and so I plan to be one of those men thank you very much ^^

I am a proud wearer of a suit and tie every day despite still being a high schooler. Morning wear is occasional, but no one is to stop me. Social class is not much of a matter of attire as it was previously, so why not wear a bowler hat or top hat from time to time!

I know I'm one of so much amazing people here that also got to wear suits and shirts, but honestly it surprises me how people think it's a bad idea, that it doesn't make any sense, but they all seem interested and it seems to catch quite a lot of attention. It also seems to represent "right-wing ideals" as some people told me, specially because on the eyes of many people it's something only bankers and lawyers wear. I always look with amusement these old films like Citizen Kane or Once Upon a Time in America for an instance. All these people, be it a millionaire or a barber, always had a sense of class and gave a good image. And I ways looked with amusement, how could it be people had changed so much? I always had a passion for these suits, the ties and usually white shirts. The black suit shoes and the classy belt. It represents the peak of human... excellence, represents our level, our respect. Nowadays people seem to only care about fame, money, what the rest of people think of them and being comfy. They do not care about their life, their image, their self-respect, people only do what's easier to them, which is to follow braindead people on the internet and copy them. One may live in today's times and have to adapt to them in many ways, but class, respect and tradition is something never ought to be changed, and I'm so glad of staying that way, and I'm only 19. Hoping for the day I get to wear a tie and a proper suit.

Now, this is a matter of perspective, I don't know if this video is about what most the ones like this are, but regardless if it is or not, remember, we too are closing in on another age of greatness, break throughs and wonders, don't compare an age to another, since todays great men and women are yet to have shown themselves, I hold my achievements today as nothing more than experiences, but tomorrow the world may see what I've learned.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 🇹🇷

ngl, nothing can beat a suit. Waist coat, chains, gloves, overcoat. You can't beat those. Love em.

nice vid! 2022: when your fashion looks worse even compared to nazis back then.

Peaky blinders is basically a high quality advertisement of 1920s fashion

As a woman I finf men in uniforms and suits extremely attraktive.

TO HELL WITH MODERN FASHION TRENDS! I'd wear a Carolean Uniform Everyday rather than that 'thing' we call fashion
