I noticed that among many of my friends, the John Wick franchise made them get tailored suits for the first time in their lives. Perhaps that's a rare convergence of trend and timelessness..

My tip is to buy items regularly instead of needing lots of new pieces all at once. You go into your local store and you buy the 10 best items you can find, you're probably not finding the best items or for the best price. If you go in regular you will spot a beautiful item maybe wait until it's on sale if you don't like the price.

I am loving the subtle "that other guy" at 4:11

Thanks to channels like this and Gentlemen's Gazette, I started to go back to timeless fashions and I haven't felt more comfortable. PS: Trench coats are awesome!

It's all about the quality of the material. My best wardrobe piece is an overcoat from the 1950s made of ~700 gsm wool with a classic boxy cut. Given the condition of the coat I wouldn't have gussed the coat was older than 10 years. But a good friend of mine dated it to the 50s. There's a union tag in the pocket, very cool piece of history. They don't make fabric like that anymore. One item I was able to bring into my wardrobe just recently was a wool sweater (extremely warm) I had from my dad from the 80s. It consists of grey, teal, and purple diamonds. Very 1980s but in 2023 it goes well with jeans and white tennis shoes. Just 4 years ago I do not think this would have worked. My girlfriend was not convinced on investing in her wardrobe, she is a fan of fast fashion. That was until I bought her a camel hair peacoat. It required some tailoring so she bought a polyester one instead. The second she put the polyester one on she agreed tailoring the camel hair coat was worth it. I avoid polyester at all costs.

Age and wisdom are big factors for me/many. Younger generations can chase trends cheaply through fast fashion options. By the time I hit my 40s I had found my personal style. For lack of a better comparison, it was a James Dean look (IT guy by day, played in a band on weekends, casual at home and the office). Now into my 50s, I've refined that, but I've also had to start adding more formal elements as more occasions demand it (dinners, office events, funerals, etc.). I still break some of the rules b/c I don't care what people think any more, but for the most part, my closet will work if I'm fortunate enough to have many years ahead of me.

I'm in my 50s. A few years ago I lost 30 lbs. and needed to get a completely new wardrobe. I also decided to reinvent my wardrobe. I found it easy to reinvent my style using *100% timeless* items. I'm just wearing different timeless items than I did before.

As a woman, I suggest that men wear collared shirts, like regular, woven cotton shirts or polos, as much as possible. T-shirts, etc., without collars can look too casual and just don’t do anything for a guy. Every man looks great in a white, collared shirt, woven or knit. Next, I would go for a light blue one, it also looks great on everyone and is very classic.

Antonio, you have some of the best content in this area. I do appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. You research the subjects well and your presentation is on point with tasteful jokes sprinkled throughout. Now at 54, I am trying to upgrade my wardrobe with pieces of clothing that are appropriate for my age. I notice how more than 90% of guys do not put any effort into their outfits. Everyone looks like they just came from playing basketball, the gym or the park. I want to stand out from that crowd. Thanks!!!

Please consider making a video on places to shop to get these quality cloths. Not all of us live in LA, Chicago or Manhattan. I'm in Pittsburgh.

I love in Asia. Now I wear a suit and tie daily for work and it feels great. I love the wool on my suit and it almost glitters in the sunlight. The women really love wool and the fit of a suit. I spice it up sometimes with some pieces that are personal and sentimental to me but for the most part, I don't have to spend alot of time thinking about what to wear. Also I found real leather toe capped Oxfords for less than $3 at a second hand and an unlined (great for hot days) grey suit jacket for $6. I'm 32 and feel stupid for never dressing like this in the USA but none of my peers did. Graphic tees and Levi's. We were all just lazy.

Best find ever was a french cuff purple shirt brand new with tags, normally 60 bucks at a store, got it for 5 bucks a thrift store. Gems can be found if you look. Wear it all the time.

I'll be traveling to Spain/Italy late summer and I'd like to see you cover appropriate and stylish travel wear while in Europe. I do not want to stand out as the obvious America tourist. Thank you for the great content.

What I've noticed about Menswear Fashion is that Films and TV Shows are a big reason why men are wanting to wear suits again. For me, a massive reason to why I strive to wear Semi-Formal, Business Casual and Smart Casual clothing is because of the many Films and TV Shows that have incredibly stylish looking men I've watched over the years.

17:00 I think another reason why you would/could/should increase your “trend spending” past 50 is because over the past 20 if you chose right you should already have a decent sized collection of timeless clothes accumulated so you don’t really need to go out and get even more. Got a 5-6 versatile suits, couple coats and jackets, well made leather shoes, shorts, pants etc already in hour wardrobe from you 30s and 40s that will still work well either as is or with a few interventions from a tailor.

I wear a lot of 80s and timeless. To me the 80s aesthetic makes me feel more well to do and a lot of people who know me recognize and compliment me on it

An interesting topic to tackle. Most videos discuss a wardrobe for clothing you wear at work and out of. Most people have white collar. How about a wardrobe advice for those who don't decide what they wear at work. Military, police, firefighter, ect. Our time off in "normal" clothing is limited. Sometimes it seems strange to buy a wardrobe around button ups that you can wear at the office and in town. Especially if you deploy and can only carry a few items for off work. These times are really limited and people have to try to have minimal wardrobes with maximum effect for their style.

I'll be honest and say that when it comes to clothing, I have no idea if something is trending or not. I simply buy what I like and if I like it, I'll continue wearing it.

RU-vid really got you into my life at the right time. Im 36 and i have not changed my wardrobe in roughly 6 years. Ive been purchasing a lot of nice shirts to upgrade my look but i have been suffering from bad luck at shopping centers. Manufactures and retailers at shopping centers are definitely trying to keep me from looking my best. Good material and great brands exist but they just don’t have the locations for easy discovery. I’ve been trying some items from Banana Republic and their stuff is good value but it’s still missing some unique attributes. The polo’s from your video definitely have something unique that will look good. So I’m going to check them out.

a healthy combination between trendy and timeless items to cover all situations.

Great videos. Im 56 and spent 34 years serving in the 🇨🇦 Navy. Why I mention that is that I wore a black / white uniform most of that time and conservatively dressed outside of work because I didn’t want to stand out. Now I’m dressing in bright blue, brown (not black) boots, grey casual pants and I like to buy nice clothes to wear I think cause I probably missed out on having a uniform to wear all the time. I’m building a capsule wardrobe mostly in blue,brown, grey and some green (with the brown). I’m thinking of a high quality polo and not sure which brand to go with. I hate collars that loose their shape and only have my pension to purchase these things so I prefer outlet malls. Which brand holds up it value well? Thank you, Kevin W

The thing is though- What i'm learning building my wardrobe 'timeless' style has a time and a place. Its a chic casual attractive dignified look / color palette. - which in theory you don't want to use all the time - similar to using a more playful cologne you want to wear playful fashion fun patterns to brighten moods and conversations and not be the dull serious guy at the club in neutral beiges. I'm also learning as a tall person (6'4) to balance out my height I should be wearing more playful patterns to break up my body better for a more even presentation. As a fan of blacks greys and whites- im learning it just has been making me look 8 feet tall as non pattern monochrome fabrics just extend your torso. Not to mention on top of my height I have 'resting B face' so I could use some fun in my look. Idk- I'm learning to appreciate all patterns. I think all patterns are timeless- FITS on the other hand are another story - Too loose & too tight. No no no.

I’ve been watching your videos and started to update my wardrobe because I’m in my late 30s and just needed and update. Now I don’t own or wear jeans at all, but I’ve recently got some pants in slim fit that look way better than regular fit (what I usually wore) as well as some button down shirts slim fit that are a little more expensive than I would usually buy….what a different, thank you for all you info and great videos.

Hello My Great Mentor, I love the tech behind the buckle in Anson Belt & Buckle, but the material of the belts were disappointing, you should have a great conversation about bringing a pure 100% leather belts, because they look faux leather… thanks for mentoring us in fashion… #1 Fan of RMRS

I think that I'm standing on sacred ground. I'm rocking tapered black jeans. White singlet, "" tank tops"" Now shark tooth earring I'm 47, All I see traditional style

I have suits and blazers from 25 and 30 years ago. They're all classic styles and I still get compliments whenever I wear them.

Thanks for the great video, Antonio. You hit us with a lot of information today.

You channel is helping me a lot I'm studying law and I just realised that I know nothing about clothes,which play a huge role even during studying

I expanded in to tweed blazers this winter. I just love them

That's so true for 50s... I'm 52...have settled on classic clothes. Buying more of trendy palettes....

Great info again!

Great advice.

White feather...you were thinking of Gunny Hathcock. Rah

I never did pursue trends. One, because they are temporary by nature. Two, I never had the money to buy clothes that would look silly in just a few weeks.

You are an incredible communicator

Steve McQueen was THE Mr. Cool of the 60s.

Western Wear: No snaps on shirts, no yoke on back, Crisply starched shirt AND jeans. No name on the back of your belt. There are many styles of hats, each style has a meaning. If you aren't a cowboy, don't wear it. It may say that you are a quarter horseman, but you don't know which side to stand to lead a horse. Or worse yet, you will wear the hat of a male stripper! I love your show

I clicked the like button. 👍 Happy to assist.

Love a guy in a brown or tan suede jacket! Leather’s good, too, but suede makes me want to get close!

I’m agree about wearing tie

6:59 “the mighty gods at RU-vid…?” Good thing we don’t burn heretics anymore because I like you sir.

Bro said lindy omg. Love you Antonio

Antonio , you are the best . Thanks for everything

1:05 This Unique moment when Antonio is dressed in the same (very similar) coat I've bought a couple of weeks ago 😎

Thrift stores can be a great way to find that piece that adds to your style without breaking the bank if it doesn’t work out for you. If it doesn’t, donate it again and try something else.

Anything on the runway is almost always purely for show and rarely available for sale. Fashion week is about pushing the artistry and the brand, not what you see because you can’t (and shouldn’t) buy it. Regular people don’t wear that kind of stuff, especially for business. Just like any awards show entrance, it’s custom made for those richer and more famous than you and me. But they rarely keep it, it’s on loan most times, to push the label. Trends come and go, classic lasts forever. I bought a grey and a tan set of Ben Hogan tech golf pants last summer because I needed some long pants. Got them from WalMart for $25 each. Timeless, washable, durable and above all else..lightweight and comfortable. Fit perfectly right off the rack, no tailoring required. Classic! I was in a club once full of guys sporting all this crazy “stylish” $#/+. I had a black gabardine jacket with a unique design (Chemist jacket) , black jeans, white mandarin collared shirt and black leather oxfords. Guess who got all the attention?

Bro said lindy omg. Love you antonio

So True 🖤🍷

That was very interesting. Only I was more expecting more practical step-by-step tips to build a timeless wardrobe.

@22:55 If you have a chest like He-Man, forget the v-neck and embrace the shirtless trend, you're the guy who it might work for.

I still sweat in them but if you find the athletic dress shirts did really good with keeping and they dry fast. I have some from Express

Another bomb video Antonio keep up the great work

Timeless = smart clothing - shirts, suits, chinos, proper trousers, jeans and so on.

Antonio, our local western wear store was bought out by the Boot Barn. They did bring some lower-cost items such as denim shirts but also stopped carrying as many brands of boots.

Agree, agree n agree

A gentleman commented below that a decent wardrobe is not cost-effective, and that he likes getting dirty outside of work. He said you get rich by not spending that kind of money. I'll share my response here, for greater visibility: I disagree, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think... I work in warehousing, and am similarly outdoorsy/handy. My daily wear is chino pants or well-fitting jeans, a button-down long sleeved shirt (with the sides taken in for a tailored fit) or a polo shirt, stylish boots (cleaned and polished daily), and a tan leather or black denim jacket if the weather calls for it. All of these are kept hanging, and sorted by type and color, on a wardrobe rack. A watch, viking chain necklace, thin braided leather bracelets, and a leather belt and brass US Army buckle round out the look and keep it from being too formal, adding some self-expression while still looking highly professional. Weekends are a different story- my dresser is full of old shirts, shorts, and jeans for getting dirty and torn up while I'm having fun fishing, camping, working with metal and wood, etc., and there are aprons and coveralls to take most of that damage. Steel toed boots, too. The difference is, at work I'm immediately perceived as a competent professional, simply because I am not lazy about my appearance. You never know who you'll meet or what they can do for your career, and first impressions are incredibly important. I met my regional VP last week during a surprise visit, during which we were personally introduced, and I received an award from him for working through an ice storm that very nearly closed us down for a week last month. I'm glad I wasn't wearing stained work jeans or an old hoodie at the time of our meeting. 😉 My coworkers, superiors, and subordinates see me working my butt off in that kind of clothing, and it inspires them to follow suit and step up both their dress and their work ethic, in order to keep pace with me and gain my favor and approval. I have a mohawk-evocative hair cut and a full, foot-long beard, so dressing sharp juxtaposes well and justifies the former by embedding it within a more refined context, while maintaining an approachable, comfortable vibe. It's psychology, too. I feel proud and confident, so I perform like a competent professional. I appear as a competent professional, so I get attention, recognition, and opportunities I would otherwise never receive. I bought most of it secondhand or at discount stores, but my pay is up nearly 17K year-over-year since last year when I started dressing more sharply. Nothing else changed about how I work, I'm just being recognized more now because I'm more visible than before. Wearing my potential on my sleeve, so to speak. Find your niche, brother, and make it work for you.

I know it was a joke but please don't say the mighty gods of RU-vid, with all the censorship & cancelling going on they probably do think they are some sort of online gods? Love your channel & your content is great. When are you coming to the UK to drop some of your game in London?

Awesome video! Question for us guys who are ready up take the plunge and upgrade to a complete excellent wardrobe: Where would you recommend that we can walk in and say "measure me and let's do a complete wardrobe right here and now," and we can trust that we're going to get set up right?

Logan Lerman as the King of Canada put the bowtie in for nerdy 🤓 bad guys in the Movies.

Hello would like to know what is a good leather blazer for an adult and where to buy it thank you

Timeless style I have always felt is saving us from the embarrassment of photographs, I personally wear tapered black jeans and singlets, I would prefer my singlets to be white but I still have to loose a couple of pounds to feel comfortable, I felt really good in this style

Fashion and style are, and have always been, two different animals

What is that knot called on the blue tie shown at 20:41? I need to learn how to tie one of those because it looks totally bad-assed.

Cillian Murphy definitely looks of his era in peaky blinders

Can you do a video for new york clothes but hip/hop rap timeless style? For younger crowd. The vintage casual streetwear is timeless its still being worn nowadays.

Skinny jeans were a trend for 10 years!

Antonio, what store is that youalways show trying on suit jackets? is it in Milwaukee, Green Bay?

Wierdly, at 59, classic men’s wear IS my reinvention of myself. Sure, i did wear suits and ties in the 80’s and 90’s but then it kinda dropped off. Now i want a bit of style back. I like highland wear ( kilts with all the stuff that goes with it, tweeds, sweaters etc ). And i like…well, the stuff you talk about ( both clothes and fragrances ). I checked out a charcoal suit and a tweed sports jacket just a few hours ago. They both cost a bit but are good quality. I’m still thinking about it. I want a suit like that and Harris tweed is Harris tweed. Hmmm * fingers itching *

Hi R

Regarding neckties, the real benefit is that I already own plenty. Some are silk, and some are cashmere. I can follow this trend with $0 expenditure, if I want to.

It’s not darker complexions that look best in purple, it’s pale complexions with cool skin tone, if your veins show as bright blue or purple you will look better in purple than anyone else

Everytime you say "trendy" I immediately picture Affliction tops. And how they lasted just a few years.

4:08 other guy 😂

what I look for when I get clothes: - is it cheap? - is it comfortable? - are there pockets? - how much defense does it have?

I’ve got a fashion question you might turn into a video. Why do run way fashion display goofy outfits nobody is ever wearing out in public? It’s never made sense to me.

You got it on point! I’ve been looking for more purples to add to my wardrobe, a deep purple which looks great and not tacky. I’ve noticed this year that department stores are brining in bright greens, purple, pinks ect. in double breasted, what do you think of brighter Color’s?

Trendy is often ugly, so I'd still avoid them at 50-70s. A slightly wider vintage tie will always look better than a too thin was trendy tie.

Style vs fashion

As a Canadian, I cannot argue that triple denim looks lousy. If you are going to double up, darker on bottom, lighter on top is the rule and your shirt or sweater better not be blue!

I wanna be More stylish

1:25 me walking into the office

I had Purple as My Favourite Colour at age 💜 7 in 1975 so said it was the colour of Royalty and God brought that idea back in time. It ended up being in the Movies for Royalty that was Real only. The Pretenders To The Throne got Black ⚫️ Natalie Helferty Queen of Canada Hollywood Royal as God's Body with God

I have had to move to bolo ties because I can no longer tie ties.

The 90s baggy clothes are back? Its about time

Capes! capes! capes!

Has anyone worn the Collar's and Co untucked? How's it look when worn without a top layer? Thanks.

I just noticed your name is hispanic. I am also a fellow guero. Im a “white guy” named Jose 😂

Don't follow trends, start them.

Buy what suits your personality and body type, invest in quality and buy clothes you know you love and will wear over and over again, and your money will be well-spent, and you'll be looking good today, and decades from now.

Was that a Byzantine or Orthodox church? I just love the eastern liturgy,

I would like to see dress clothes that allow more mobility and flexibility. I'm a very fit 40 and I love to be able to move. Anyone have companies to suggest? Especially like 4 way flex fabrics.

My personal style has always been vintage. For dressing up, I prefer fitted 3 piece suits patterned after early 20th Century fashion w/ slight modern modifications. For casual, I prefer the classic button down shirts like classic Latino guayaberas and rockabilly / bowling shirts w/ cuffed jeans or kakis. Hats are either golfers hats or short brimmed fedoras. Shoes are oxfords Wing Tips or Chuck Taylors. So styles from the 20s to the mid-60s. I NEVER EVER wore or wear ANYTHING advertising the brand or a brand either. I pay them for the gear, they don't pay me. So I refuse to be a walking billboard, for anyone! But that's me.

I have wished for a long time to see in my neck of the world, shirts, tees, polos etc with collars that hold their own and don't flop down and look stupid. These things matter in making a man look and feel better when dressed and moving around in comfort. I would invest money in this company.

I wear skinny fit suit I m 5 9 and slim build

Peaky Blinders style is 👌🫶

Trends are pointless and look dated very quickly. Timeless is the way to go!

I wear suits and ties.

i think those new fashion brands don't even try to sell something people actually want to use. those "clothings" at the beginning of the video are just disturbing
