Why You Look Bad In Everything You Wear 

Yes, I cut my own hair here. I’m aware it’s a mess and I didn’t notice whilst recording. At least this isn’t a hair styling video

Rule of 1/3 is brilliant. Opened my eyes, and I am applying it immediately.

Build was a huge one for me. When I was skinny (aka frail af) it was pretty easy to dress stylish. I've worked long and hard on building some proper mass on my frame, but the style that I've upheld for years suddenly looked weird on me. Kinda got stuck in the habit of wearing sportswear type stuff as a staple ever since, but I feel like I developed an authentic sense of style that I can't pull off anymore and it's kinda shit tbh

Me: *thinking I looked good today* Harry: “Why you look bad in everything” Me: 🤯

People hate hearing this, but a lot of super stylish people have very little variety in their closets. They take a few ideas that work the absolute best on them, and they buy variations on a theme. I'm 6'5" and relatively slim for my height. I like pretty luxe, fashion forward jackets, somewhat arty or edgy tees, skinny jeans, and some sort of boot. Mostly in black and gray, but with a few jewel tones. Pretty much all of my clothes work well enough together that I could get dressed in the dark if I wanted to. On paper it sounds limiting, but since everything goes with everything, the combinations I can put together are practically endless. Having some pieces that only work with a few other pieces is *much* more limiting. Another thing people don't like hearing is unless you really love shopping, find a few brands that fit you beautifully, and tend to make things in colors that suit you, and don't deviate from them. It saves an enormous amount of time, and reduces, "I shouldn't have bought this. It doesn't work with anything I have." I personally love shopping, and will try on half of the men's department at Saks and a half dozen designer boutiques before lunch to find the most exciting piece that I know I'll wear all the time. My husband hates shopping, but still looks put together because he sticks to a few brands that fit him really well. It's really worth putting the legwork in and try on everything you can get your hands on, because once you find what works, you won't have to change often. Lastly, spend the most money on what you're going to wear the most. You see guys spending hand over fist on dress clothes that they'll wear once or twice a year, while wearing H&M the rest of the time. That's totally backwards. If you're someone who likes a great leather jacket that they can throw on over anything, go to town on it. If you're a hoodie person, go for really luxe textural ones. (My favorite hoodie is cashmere from Zadig & Voltaire. Perfect for "Fuck it Friday," flights, or long car rides. Worth every penny.) Spending a fortune on things that just sit for 364 days a year is a huge, huge waste of money. (Having said that, if you're someone who does like to dress up, I feel like the level of quality and the level of formality need to match. No one looks good in a cheap tuxedo. Period.)

“Pick a celebrity with a similar height and build to you and look at their clothes” So Danny Devito, got it. That’s just a joke though, you give good advice. I think silhouettes and basic shape composition are the things people getting into fashion lack the most.

Thanks for the tips on fit and proportioning! I'm a lady that wears both feminine, masculine and androgynous looks, and I look to Dearly, Bethany for fit and proportioning for feminine outfits, but there isn't a lot of content on fit and proportioning for more masculine looks. I'll keep these in mind. Thanks again!

The 1/3th rule is really nice, but I must say that it doesn't always apply. Myself for example, I am 1.98 meters and have (even for that length) pretty long legs and a small torso. Having a shirt tucked into my jeans makes my legs look *extremely* long, like I'm a walking tree or something haha.

I'm 6' 4" only about 180lbs. I switched to 514 Levi's from 513s after the longest time when I was around 170lbs. It changed everything because it "squared" off my long skinny legs and made me look physically stronger, took up more space rather than emphasizing already slim legs with skinny jeans lol. It's difficult dressing to be honest. Size large T shirts usually have potential to be too small, or not long enough, and XL T shirts are baggy as hell and sleeves way too open. At this height and weight, anything you wear is going to stand out much more to people, whatever the style may be, gotta be careful.

“Timmitae Chalamatt” ahahaha

Spitting straight facts mate! Funnily enough I had a very similar video in the works but I think I'll hold off on releasing it for a bit because you have just done it so much better haha!

This is true, most of the time you’re not just yet comfortable in the outfit. I bought a couple of clothes 3 years ago when I got into fashion and I was pissed because they didn’t look good on me and I couldn’t return them because I got them online. I just left dem in my closet until last year when I decided to try them on and I found myself wearing them more often, they became my favorites and I was pissed when I went back to the site to get more and they were all out of stock.

Wow, this video perfectly describes my styling journey. I wish this video came out years ago and save myself a lot of money on clothes lol. From proportions to the rule of 3rds, I had to discover these things for myself over a long period of time over a basis of simply figuring out what looks aesthetically pleasing.

Gonna be applying this to my fit tomorrow. As always, amazing advice, mate!

You're really genius in finding topics on your videos Harry. I've learned a lot in this video. And on your past videos. Thank you Harry👍✔️💯

This is some solid advice! Ive never heard the 2/3’s rule but that is a genuinely helpful thing to start doing!

Ive always had a sense of what looked good on me and what didnt and this really put things into perspective. The 1/3 rule is brilliant, it explains a lot why when i wear cropped outers or tuck in it looks more aesthethically pleasing. Also the part of being skinny and short not being recommended to wear baggy or very skinny pants, that part is sooo true aswell. I have a pair of baggy pants and they rarely look good on me.

Fantastic video Harry. Thank you so much. Can't wait to do the skin tone thingy right away! Keep the good work coming!

Sound advice, yes, was there too and it took me a while to figure out what sort of close/fit was made for me. Great vid as usual mate, have a nice Sunday 🙏🏻

Think this to myself constantly hahah. Getting into clothing and fashion has done wonders for me in keeping me motivated in dropping weight so I can try and start dressing how I like

This video provided me with a very practical approach to further developing my style. I love the FoG style and it's still my go to, but I would like to venture slightly and attempt the reverse 2/3 proportions as you mentioned. Also, I really love your hair. Thanks for the dope video, boss.

I gotta admit, you do give useful good and encouraging advice plus I like listening to you. You exude calmness and help people be confident in themselves and not just about matching outfits with personalities, skin tones, size and built... etc. Thank you. Live Long and Prosper!

Never given my outfits too much thought but coincidentally the one day I decide to go clothes shopping this pops up on my front page. Will be sure to keep some of this stuff in mind while I'm trying to find the right fit for me - Cheers!

Thank you! I always enjoy your views and it helps me with how I dress myself.

I feel you, 5 years ago i cant wear anything other than skin tight jeans, i think people wearing regular jeans looks ridiculous. Now I realized how ridiculous skinny jeans are for males, especially when i looked at my old pics

I have short legs. It’s hard to pull off the rule of thirds, but with some effort I can. It’s a matter of shorter jackets and tucked in shirts, as you suggested. Everyone is shocked when I comment I have short legs because I’m just a master at wearing things that are flattering to me. Great advice for most men!!

This was much better than I expected, and easy to understand. You, sir, have my like. I'll watch more of your content.

Great video! The rule of thirds part was very helpful!

Great video! Never thought about getting rid the old wardrobe until now! I need some changes. Thank you man!

Finally found the video I've been looking for months cause I forgot the title and the channel. But now I'm already subscribed.

Great video mate, couldn’t agree more with your final thoughts having switched to wearing oversized clothing myself when all I used to wear was tight and fitted, great content 👍

A lot of these basic stylist choices I think also work well for womens' body type too - especially the 1/3rd rule if you're more square or "boy shaped" it can help especially with suits/jacket combos.

There was a bit in the video about matching colors to your skin tone values, which reminded me of other ways-including skin tone-to determine which colors suit you best. That includes eye color, hair color, and the coolness/warmness of it all. Contrast also plays a very important role in determining the best color palettes for yourself. I think they call of that “seasons”? (Note: if you have warmer skin tones, gold jewelry/accessories look best on you. If you have cool skin tone, then sliver is best.) None of that is set in stone either, I think it’s just based off of color theory and stuff. I’m not sure if this channel is just for dudes, so sorry if I’m barging in, but this was really useful for me! I value comfort/practicality over looks most of the time and would like to change that up a bit, and this video definitely gave me the confidence!

throughout my teenage years i've implemented the 1/2 and 1/2 rule and i always felt my legs were being coverd or were too short compared to my body. I havent even imagined i can wear my jeans and tee differently, but now i'll give your advice a try. Maybe i'll try a 2/5 and 3/5 look at first to get used to. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, I felt out off at first by a lot of things right away that I will definitely try getting used to.

Lovely video, thank you! :) I agree that we often don’t “see” something at first. I used to think that high-waisted bottoms are too sexy, so I avoided them like the plague because I didn’t want to draw attention to my figure (I have an hourglass body shape). I was always confused as to why I look stocky and heavy in low-rise bottoms and loose shirts. Lo and behold, high-waisted bottoms are truly the best choice! Yes, they *are* flattering but I try to wear them not too tight. The result it that I look good, *feel* good and my shirts finally stopped getting untucked 😄

Great content, you’re my new fav fashion youtuber

I love your sincerity and the structure of the video. Thanks Harry and keep em coming!

this tips are fire now that the shop I like has my size on sale, I'm totally subbing

Great video mate it really helped me put things into perspective

The part where you talked about suddenly wearing something different from what you normally wear and thinking it looks weird reminds me of how it was when I first tried on my current favorite pair of jeans. At the time, I’d already been transitioning from skinny jeans to looser jeans, though it was always still tight enough that it was very form-fitting around my hips and thighs. While shopping for new jeans though, I found a pair of 80’s style mom jeans that, for the first time out of anything I’d ever worn, was only form-fitting at my waist and loose everywhere else. It looked very baggy, off, and kind of silly to me at first, but something about it drew me to it, along with the fact that it was the most comfortable pair of jeans I’d ever worn. Now I wear it _constantly_

After watching this video, I realized that I should change my style, but will still cycle through the same 5 shirts and 2 pants all the time.

Holy shit, I’ve been following you on Instagram for years now, didn’t realize you had a channel. Subscribed.

bro your hair is fire!!! love it

Nice break down! I’m going to try and use this info next time I’m out looking. I’m 6’3”, 240 lbs, and broad shouldered. I’ve found the trim/snug tee, and just barely snug in the thigh, blue jean just on the hip (with a nice chucka of course) to be my look. Anything out side of that, say a suit, and I’ll let the men at the suit shop pick for me. They haven’t done me wrong yet!

thank you so much, I don't understand everything quite completely but I feel like I've been awakened.

Very interesting and easy to apply . Thanks Harry

i was literally thinking about proportions recently.... spot on

This is very clever 👌👍 something i always have in mind when it comes to fit to keep that proportional balance.

Well explained and love to watch your content as always. Wish you nothing but the best !

I've seen the lower 1/3 match the upper 1/3, with the middle 1/3 something different - and it worked.

Great work Harry!

Really great video man!!

Finally someone who makes sense, thanks mate I learned a lot today

An interesting topic, and excellent suggestions. Thanks.

I’m doing my homework for my guy friends to help them with their fashion and this has been the most helpful thus far

Everything in this video was helpful, thank you :)

Hey Harry! I know this is an old video but your hair looks so cool like this

Love your haircut!

saying 'in my opinion', comes across so kind 😘

Sadly, you'll look good in anything if you're fit/muscular/bulk-ish. Being too thin or too fat really limits one's wardrobe choices.

Well, Im definitely trying out the rule of thirds when picking outfits,

As a person that have gone through all the season on trends from baggy with pleats, straight cut to comfort from the 550's to the 501's to true religion bell bottoms to the V cut on the side lol the tapered or skinny jeans and the straight cut navy cut twill pants is the trends i love, you may laugh at my comment now but i guarantee when the trends loops back again you'll you will understand my comment lol! and as far as cringing on the clothes you wore back then? u have to realize that was poppin back then and you were just enjoying the trend or ride, unless your Tom Ford, John Paul Gaultier, Yamamoto and lets add Ye to the mix to name a few who goes against the grain and doesn't follow the trends but set the trends you should be proud that u have experience that genre.

This haircut really, really suits you. Great topic btw

I have to get rid of my existing wardrobe and have new clothes for a new style. Good video! 👍

I liked this video a lot, thanks for your input!

He's staring deep into my soul in each frame that he is on in this video and perhaps I deserve it

6:44 it's pretty interesting that he mentioned that, bc i do that pretty frequently, i like to phase out certain styles depending on the season (i usually donate the clothes to the less fortunate) like, all winter my thing was all black clothing, and for spring/summer it's pastel blues, with brown and cream tones, it's always just an opportunity for me to try new things.

Never heard of the rule of thirds! Thanks!

I like this version of your hairstyle

Love the third rule. 👍😎 I will try it out.

Love your hair man

Thanks for the great advice mate. Please keep making great and helpful videos!

Harry your videos are so helpful... Love from🇮🇳

the perks of being slightly skinny with tall legs is that your body is basically 1/3 already. Just a simple tuck-in and you're ready to go. Still wanna buff myself a bit so i can look good in talk tops and cargo longpants though :))

Omg! Same with me and the skinny jeans! I sort of cringe at the almost jeggings I used to wear in 📸 🖼 But straight fit is all the trend now. I tried them on and felt so strange. But I've settled nicely with slim-straight.

very helpful thank you for the tips!

Just finished watching that wholesome vid of yours about comverse high top... And now you roasted me with that caption wth

Confidence and comfort. Enough said.

This video is golden

very helpful! Thank you

Well I’m not sure I needed that but thanks man

Usually I say that whenever I wear short sleeve shirts, or really any shirt if I don’t have a jacket or a sweatshirt over it. I’ll just get a thin jacket (those thin exercise ones) and then roll up the sleeves

Me ha gustado mucho tu contenido, interesante y puntual. Sabes Si hay algún libro que hable de la regla del 1/3 ? Saludos desde México!

Thanks Harry!

A year ago i was at the Point where i wasnt Sure If i could wear certain Things. I decided to Just buy a Statement piece and Started to try Out more distinct Fits. It really worked i stopped looking so Basic in my clothes. Also being a Designer meant Basic principles Like rule of thirds or color theory come naturally to me anyways. Applying those isnt as hard If you get used to it

7:24 the outfit on the left is actually a really nice outfit im gonna use it as inspo

I can’t tell if I genuinely look terrible in something or it’s just my horrible self-esteem 👁👄👁👍

I was 6'1 and 150lbs for a while and i wore long shirts and hoodies to account for being "tall" so I wore XL and L. Now i'm the same height and 160lbs and I have a few medium hoodies that I actually fill and I couldn't put my finger on why it looks better but now it makes sense, the 1/3 rule.

this Video is so good!!

Hey, I'm new here, but I really liked the video. It would be very cool and convenient if you could give links in the description of the videos you mention, like the skin color one.

You have a beautiful voice Sir Harry

We love ❤️ your channel Harry keep up the great work 👏 Tim Dissaint are you listening?

Cool video and awesome tips! Thanks!:D I am still left with a question - a lot of the time when I see an example of a 2/3 to 1/3 outfit (so the top half is longer) the proportions are not mathematically 2/3 and 1/3. If you measure them they are almost half-half. Or 60/40. But visually it looks balanced. Are there other factors that influence the perceived 'weight' of a part (in addition to the actual lengths)? Like something related to the color or the fit or something else?

This 3/3 rule is very important for styling. For example I'm a short guy, so when I'm wearing my oversized T-shirt I'll make sure to pair it with a short pants, or ankle pants. And when I want to wear a jeans, I'll make sure to wear a regular T-shirt or shirt for my tops.

I think you just need to admit you follow trends and can't think for yourself. People need to be more transparent about who they actually are. This is what fashion is about.

In my twenties everything looked good on me, in my late 30’s nothing does. The answer is your posture - Mines terrible now. Fix your body posture and you’re laughing.

It seems like for the rule of thirds to work on the top you either have to have a tucked in or short shirt/inner layer, is that pretty much the only thing you can do to achieve that look?

Great video, useful for women too. Subbed.

I hope you make a complete guide for wearing sunglasses or shades pls...
