It’s so nice to watch men’s style videos where I’m not being yelled at or being told things that are completely obvious or told to wear a bunch of neutrals and khakis. ❤❤❤❤

@JamesLeung Месяц назад

Haha glad you liked it man, thanks!

@tomatof Месяц назад

Love your take on self care - not solely about physique, losing weight etc but to look and feel well generally, that does make a difference, 'aura' levelling up style

@JamesLeung Месяц назад

Absolutely man, it can mean a lot of things. Thanks for watching!

@grouchos_tash Месяц назад

I agree, it goes both ways too. I started back at the gym after a few years out (also not tracking calories) during the pandemic. I've gone from a 38, to 42 inch chest in the last two years and have realised I don't really suit the extra weight and it kinda limits me on the styles of clothing I like to wear.

Season color analysis is rarely talked about in men style circles, but widely talked about in women's style and make up circles. It has helped me pick colors that suit my skintone, hair and eyes. Matching colors is not just about colors that work together, but also about finding the colors that fits you personally. Me, being categorized as true spring, looks bad in too dark, too cool and muted colors, and better in warm, bright and lighter colors.

Big Slim Skin is a game-changer! Something I'd been unconsciously rewarding in my fits recently. I.E. the Uniqlo pleated wide leg pants, a fitted ribbed t shirt tucked in! As soon as you through an oversized jacket on though, it throws off the proportions and feel! Thanks for this, James :)

@gustaveii Месяц назад

Great tips as always! One of my favorite tactics to keep things interesting is to pick a key piece for the day and then make sure I pair it with at least one item it has never been previously worn out of the house with. Sometimes I try for pairings that might not quite work on paper, but have some synergy on the body. Recently, it has been mostly contrasting weights and textures since we're in that brief moment when winter and warm weather clothes can make sense together. Sometimes it is a miss and I revert back to an easier option, but when you end up with a winner you hadn't considered it can feel really good. Especially since it is "new" without requiring a purchase.

@JamesLeung Месяц назад

Such a good way of thinking man. I’m going to try this as well! Thanks!

As a kind of add-on to knowing your measurements, I measure e.g. pit-to-pit, and length of what I think of as my best-fitting garments, and use these to compare against measurements given on retailers' websites. This method takes proportions into account, I mean, if you're choosing something oversized and/or boxy, as an example.

@JamesLeung Месяц назад

Yes great point, thanks!

@silviacarvalho90 Месяц назад

Great video as always. Another point for me is how to keep clothes in good shape, e.g. wash in cold water, don’t use a dryer (unless you want to shrink a garment) and a lint roller to keep dark clothes free of fur, as I have two cats!

@JamesLeung Месяц назад

Totally agree! Cold water washes and air drying is cheaper and better for the environment as well which is a bonus 😊

I was doing the same thing, saving my good clothes for that special occasion , and meanwhile looking like crap when i was out in public, problem was, there was so few occasions to get dressed for, but now i wear my good stuff everyday ..

@JamesLeung Месяц назад

Great to hear mate!

@sandrodeyoung854 Месяц назад

Great tips! My biggest issue is that I don't have many occasions to wear everything I want to wear. I like my style and people I meet think I dress well but I want to wear it more often. Work -> Home -> Gym/Running -> Home is on repeat so the clothes just wasting time in the dresser..

@HotDilf Месяц назад

I admit I am chained to this ritual of Office - Home - Gym as well, but I try to dress well on the very rare occasions when I see friends or even on mundane errands like going to the local grocery store to get milk. It's fun to be one of the few stylish people at the grocery store not in athleisure wear, haha

Found your and also Harry Has' channels recently. And you 2 are my 2 fave fashion channels. I like that you have great advice and don't try to shame people into doing as you do. Also it's great that you're a fashion channel that actually focuses on fashion. Too many of the big names like Alex Costa, Teachingmensfashion, and Alpha M have all gotten away from fashion and turned their channel more into a lifestyle channel.

have you ever addressed the shorter rolled up pant? it seems very trendy hit or miss but dose look good in your outfits.

@JJJJammy Месяц назад

One thing that really helped me feel A LOT better about my look was high-waisting my pants for the first time. I have a bit more of a gut than i would like and I always thought the waistline of my pants was supposed to only come up right underneath where my stomach was protruding. This made my torso look super long and my gut was way more emphasized when i tucked in my shirts and I just always thought that look wasn't meant for me I guess. But then one day I was trying on pants and brought them up to around near my bellybutton just to see how it looked and it was like something clicked. Pants started to finally fit the way it was meant to fit, shirts tucked in didn't look awkward and it was also really flattering too. It wasn't easy getting there though. I had to start being honest with myself about what my true pant size was. I was really stubborn about going up a few sizes to actually fit around my true waistline.

@JamesLeung Месяц назад

Wearing pants higher has been huge for me as well. It makes such a difference to the proportions of your outfit, it looks great! Glad you found your style man.

@tokyodrifttt Месяц назад

Haha saving clothes and never wearing them once as it is no longer trendy hits close to home. I keep saving the nice clothes for some “special occasion” and never get to wear them. It’s better to just whip them out and wear regularly!! ++
