I think between 2005 and 2015, men in general were relatively well dressed since skinny jeans and flannel shirts were the mainstream between 2005 and 2015, but after 2015 most men went from wearing skinny jeans and flannel shirts to just wearing t shirts and loose fitting shorts or loose fitting jeans.

You don't even necessarily have to wear a jacket and dress shoes in order to feel like your casual outfit makes you stand out like a sore thumb. Even wearing a stylish casual outfit that doesn't include a jacket and dress shoes can make you feel like you stand out like a sore thumb.

I want that overcoat in the thumbnail so bad. Where is it from?

I'm working on dressing more elegantly lately. I wore a really nice suit that I got tailored to fit my body type for a friend's wedding. Everyone was complimenting my suit. Before the ceremony started, the photographer was going around taking pictures. He took a group photo of my friends and I, and after he took it, he asked me if he can take some photos of just me cause he said he really liked my outfit. It felt really nice that people appreciate the work that was put into my fashion choice. It's crazy how the pendulum seems to be swinging. Whereas the casual look was seen as rebellious and freedom, dressing elegantly seems to be the new rebellious and freedom.

Then Barney Stinson enter into the chat:

Nothing like a sharp light wool pants, a tailored shirt, brown belt and British classic shoes, a classic effortless look , in case you don't want to go into a full tailored suite :)

If you know clothing and values you can dress like a billionaire by very careful buying used clothing on ebay over a long period of time at a cost that is actually cheaper than shopping at Macy's or JCPenny, however if you regularly wear the really best clothing (Brioni, Kiton, Attolini, etc) you inevitably stand out in a socially undesirable manner like a sunflower in a potato field.

Hey, Im 24, I run my own company thats now worth ~3,000,000 and my uniform is shorts and tshirt or shorts and a hoodie if its cold. Its not that im afraid to dress well, that shit just takes wayyyy too much time for (to me) basically 0 ROI

Dressing well does draw attention to you.

Yes, masculinity

Which is best looking for formal shirts? Merino Wool or Very High Quality Cotton?

4:03 doesnt really add up😅

Nice try AI 😂

Good dress shows one gives a $hit . I’ve worn a suit since pre school and it’s the greatest magic trick of them all .

I spent 35 years getting up every weekday morning and dressing in bespoke shirts, suits and shoes. My work environment, which could, on occasion, meet international directors and aristocracy (i am from a working class background, if such a thing still exists) I reached a point where dress-down would still involve jacket, trousers, and smart shoes. Down from that may be tailored jeans and jacket. Anything more casual is restricted to the home. Though the suits rarely see the light of day since I retired, I still maintain a standard. I believe this is important. I would never feel comfortable in public in sweatpants and trainers. All that said, I do believe that it is an individual thing. Nevertheless, certain appearances can solicit a certain reaction and initial judgement.

Them: It’s the 21st century we can express ourselves they way we want. Men: Expresses themselves classically. Them: No not like that.

Definitely disagree with the second point. From my personal experience memebers of the lgbtq community dress significantly better than most straight cis men in my area. And I've never gotten negative comments from that group when i wear suits and ties.

Absolutely correct!! It took me some time to define my own style… But now: Chinos, tailored shirt/poloshirt, Chelsea boots or a pair of wellmade boatshoes, tailored leather jacket… One of my colleagues once said, after we haven‘t met each other for a while: „ah… leather jacket is back…“😎

We definitely need to bring back the elegant, stylish suits and accessories. They look amazing. I've never seen a person who doesn't immediately look better in a well tailored suit. And if more people dress this way...I won't feel as self conscious when I dress this way, myself lol Obviously some people won't like wearing one, and you won't want to wear one all the time, probably. But it would be great to see more people in general embracing the vintage fashion that looks so great in photos. What I disagree with is that a rise in fluid fashion or feminism, which I'm assuming is what that brief generic clip of an angry looking woman and the words "certain groups" alludes to, has anything to do with it. There will always be loud extremists on every cause, but they don't represent the whole. Feminism is supposed to be about closing the gap, because there definitely still is one. It's not about bashing men or a certain style. Anyone who says a man dressing this way is automatically a misogynist is making extreme assumptions they shouldn't be making. With that said, with rhetoric circling around the internet by "alpha males", who also promote dressing well and being a "quality" male, capitalizing off guys' insecurities to get more money and views, we do need to be very careful about recognizing what messages we're taking in each day. You won't be the classy, elegant person you hope to be wearing this type of thing if you aren't a class act yourself. And having class involves being of sound mind and judgement, not being willfully ignorant of the problems certain groups in our society face every day; it's about having integrity, being honorable and just, not about being a bigot or misogynist. No one cares (in a negative way) about whether you choose to dress elegantly or in a vintage style. In fact, most people think it's cool. It's something we don't get to see as often. And those styles are often considered classy and timeless. What some groups do have a problem with is treating other people as if it's that time period, or trying so hard to be some extreme version of masculinity with your actions that you just turn into some pretentious wad of prejudice and sexist views. That's what no one wants to see. There's a saying: vintage style, not vintage values. You can be masculine, and stylish and elegant in all those ways that make vinatge fashion seem classy, and not uphold some of the values and behaviors we know to be pretry messed up, today, because we've learned since then. Seriously. Go out dressed to the nines, holding a whiskey glass in hand chatting with people at the bar, or having coffee with someone. I'd join in, if we knew each other. All it takes is someone else with you to make you feel more at ease. Find your crowd, the ones who also want to bring this sense of style and class back into the world.

I agree with the fast fashion thing. But if you define your masculinity by what you wear I truly feel sorry for you. I'm a guy in my 50's and I'm a man, no matter if I wear a suit, a pink tutu, my blue collar pants and work garments or a red ball dress. Clothes dont define my person and identity and I am man in a pink tutu because my character makes the man, not the clothes. Once you get this you can make a video about the world which you somehow don't really understand. Buy the way, my wife is an engineer, she wears suits and shirts. Where is the problem, guess what Scotisch men weer skirts called kilts. And my dear, I can express my masculinity even in my pijamas, traditional masculinity, good God I have never heard so much bullshit in my whole 50 years!!!

Ugliness is the main ideal of the 21th century.

Respect and Love ❤️ Thank's for the information ❤️ Bless you and Congratulations ❤️ Beautiful ❤️

your also buying debt too lol give me the plain white tshirt any day. I head a wise man say, cotton is cotton and wool is wool, it's the quality of those fabrics that matters.

Its not just the fear of standing out. What if i cant affoard 500-2500€ vintage clothes bcs im broke or still a kid with no job

The reason men don't dress well is because society doesn't want you to have dignity as man, its the degeneration of civilization.

Society is too traumatized to dress well. It attracts beggars, thieves, feminists and plenty of abuse from lesbians. What if you dress well and get laid by a feminist ?! Could lose everything. What if a jealous cop wants to take you down for looking good? Underage girl coming at you? Goldiggers😢. Jealous siblings, parents, family... Everyone forcing a man into taking responsibility for everything where he has no contracts... No thanks. Endless feminists out to take down the patriarchy... My mere presence seems to provoke people. I do like looking good but becoming a target is exhausting and dangerous. Also, the nearest city is dangerous. When I lived in a nicer area I did dress better where others dressed better

AI written and narrated big pile of steaming BS! 👎

This is more of an American thing here in the Europe you can do walk a round with a suit elegantly normal You can see it in the USA how they all walk around like 13-year-old hip hop kids, which of course looks ridiculous in men in there 30 Up Wood.

Agree with these points... but i also hate shopping.

Dress in your finest everyday. I've worn a suit all my life. I'm an old Englishman now and people stop me everyday and comment on my style. Suit, hat and nice coat. I wore a suit at school, in my work and everyday. I won't go to the local shop without a shirt and tie. It's habit, it's style and it's me. Dress with style, bugger everyone else! Final tip, don't wear those tights, short suits. Someone said, "A suit should be like a contract, it should always cover your arse" Ha!

I don't "dress up" or "down" -- I dress in a way that reflects my values, confidence, and personality. Typically, this means I dress like the men I admire, with a sense of class and refinement. I find flashy, "trendy" clothing cloying and distasteful.

If people can walk around in their underwear and pajama's than why can't I wear a tie and suit. It's an age where I guess you can wear whatever you want.

Wear what you Want fuk the rest of the World. Have balls to dress how you Want. Peer presure and the fluid gangsters can mind their own business.

It was Aquascutum who invented the trench coat in the 1850s,and Burberry invented the gabardine fabric in 1879.

Not applicable to men in dirty jobs

Trash AI Video 🤢

I have a black double breasted overcoat of Wool and alpaca. It is quite heavy and feels silky soft.

It makes you a target for extortion.

If a man can be swayed by some shop on what/how to wear…I think their masculinity is at question here…learn to take accountability for your weakness as a man…this video is made by an insecure man…

Go have a look at the illustrations of J. C. Leyendecker, leading graphic artist of the early 20th century. Very sharp. J.C., as almost every one knew at the time, was gay and he sure knew how to paint a sexy man. But keep in mind that tailored suits were preceded by not just centuries but thousands of years of long robes, fluid fabrics, jewelry, etc. The severe tailored suit was brought into fashion by Beau Brummell in the early 1800s. So it is only traditional in a limited cultural context. And you can hardly prove that the men who wore velvet and lace in the 17th and 18th centuries were lacking masculinity. This emphasis on “traditional” tailoring also says nothing about other cultures like Persia and China who wore long robes in certain contexts. It should be recalled that trousers came into wide use as an accessory for riding a horse. Who likes sweaty hair clinging to your bare legs after. It’s only a personal opinion but for sheer masculinity I prefer a kilt and fly plaid over that 3 piece suit, ye ken, laddie. Tailored suits are not truly timeless. But, basically, you are telling the younger generation to dress like my father and he did always look sharp. Loved the overcoats.

Though this is right, I think it's written by ChatGPT.

I agree with this 100 %

I put on a Michael Kors suit the other day to my wife's Christmas party (expensive to say the least, but I wanted it long time ago), my own 7 y/o son verbalized a WOOOOW as soon as I put on the jacket. That gave me the hell of the self-esteem and I was the only male on a suit, the GM was dressing as casual as they come and lacked a looooot presence. I felt the admiration looks and it felt amazing.

Dress to impress. While your at it, have a shave and try using aftershave! It smells better than sweat. (Have a shower first though) Take some pride in yourself. Be yourself. Polished shoes show your pride. Never follow the herd.

The modern dressing standard is a reflection of cultural decline throughout all aspects of society including financial, religious, mental health, fitness, family, work, dating life, gender roles, ... you name it. There's no reason to dress up in modern America.

Why does dressing well for men mean wearing suits, sports jackets, oxford shoes etc? Why do people have this perception? I think it might be because the companies that produce suits for men or tailors make these kind of videos. Because their profits probably aren't as good as previous decades. So, they're trying to manipulate people's perceptions saying that you don't look man enough or respectable, if you don't wear this type clothing, act certain way, do certain things etc... I think people who focus on others clothing that much are somewhat primitive. Thinking pattern that wearing suits is dressing well belongs to conservative people, who also say women must wear certain clothing, and shouldn't wear certain type of clothes. They use classic shaming language and manipulation in order to get what they want. People should've get pass what others wear, we should be smarter than having these primitive thoughts and perceptions. What should matter is what the other person is capable of or their character. Look beyond the physical world. Otherwise, human civilization keep treating better, people just because they look "good", "beautiful", "sexy", not because they are intelligent, capable, moral, decent etc. For example, humans should be smarter than the male birds who were evolved to look fancy and colorful compared to female birds, in order to reproduce. Don't give in to primitive perceptions. Don't let "attractiveness bias" shape our civilization.

Dressing "well" doesnt mean dressing in a suit all the time, in fact thats not good fashion sense at all. Theres times where suits are great, even if every guy doesnt wear one. Then theres places where rocking a full suit and tie is just odd, and you do stand out but not in a good way. Need to know how to dress well in every situation.
