This tie is as bold as they come, Chris. Good choice of shirt colour. This tie is not quite my thing, unless I was at an equally colourful event. Sometimes a tie is chosen to challenge us and this one at least offers a number of colour themes to go with it, including plain grey to make it more of a statement piece.😊

Would barn coats work be in this category, too? For me, they take the place of the chore coat? I have found that most chore coats are a bit too snug for me, where as a barn coat is more functional.

Loving the look

Looks good with the cream shirt, white would be a bit strong, nice one.

That’s certainly bold 😅(not in a negative way)

Ho choix très odacieux mes qui vas parfaitement pour le week-end elle apporte du peps a la chemise très bon choix encore bon week-end à toi

WOW! Quite a loud one that. Everything has it's place. Great for a fun summer party when "Look at ME" is appropriate 😄 🎉👍. Cheers

I don't like this choice. It's too colorful for me. Sorry

Love that tie! Want for Christmas!

I wear M65 jackets for like ~25 years. Love the 4 pockets style. Also so called "Safari" Jackets into similar style, 4 pockets. It's the only thing, which is time-less, seriously. Have 2 G.I. issue M65s, and modern reproductions. Good enough. Woodland camouflage is a bit too offensive, into daily, ordinary life. So i prefer olive green, or -black, preferred. Have one jacket which looks similar (M65 style, field jacket style) from color like your last field jacket here - but i'll recolor it it olive green, at least next january...

The length/hemline of all your trousers are spot-on virtually perfect. It pains me to see guys with pants that are either way too short or too long.

Nice jumper Chris 👍 The colors and textures are terrific, especially with the tie. Cheers

Marvelous content Chris. Looking great as usual. The pink gingham is quite inspiring. I think I'll pick one up. Cheers

I really like the look of the dimple though sadly I somehow just never managed to get one. I think you want such that it just happens on its own when one folds the knot. But for me that has never worked do you have any special tips? What I might be doing wrong?

Excellent video once again, this really helps Chris. Adding colour with the shoes is interesting. Allthough I would rather see a more colourfull suit paired with beautiful more traditional shoes. Wonder what you think of this colourfull tweed and wollen suits? Maybe video part 2 ;-)

Great look Chris.

Very smart ensemble, what regiment is the tie?

Nice one Chris. The perfect sartorial combination for this seasonal weather. A thoughtful use of colour, casual in theme, with the tie and polished brogues adding a welcome note of formality. Very smart!👍

Great ensemble.

Hi Chris super look tu a vraiment bien fondue la cravate a motifs dans la tenue vraiment bravo tu as vraiment de super goût vestimentaire..une question qu'elle marque anglaise de chemise prend tu car je prenais les mienne chez tm lewin mais on ne les trouve plus en France encore merci à toi pour ses vidéos bonne journée à toi

Excellent content Chris. The use of your back catalogue of images are perfect for illustrating the different dress code styles in the discussion. To me, they epitomise the very essence of what The British Dapper is all about.👍 As gentlemen, there is nothing wrong with aspiring to be the best version of ourselves, and where better place to start than with the clothes we wear. This video offers a wide variety of style ideas to help get us started, and if we are prepared to go the 'pre-owned' route for certain key items, it needn't cost a fortune. Regardless of what we are doing socially, we never know who we are going to bump into that we might want to get to know a little better. Whatever the circumstances, we only ever get one chance to make a first impression. Let’s make it a good one!

I have at least 10 pairs of their shoes fantastic price for what you get. They are high quality

Well, there are certainly a lot of celebrities from your list whom I really wouldn’t call well dressed because for example with Tom Hardy he wears his belt far too low and therefore also his trousers and comparable things seem to be the case with many of them to me, it seems as if all of them could be pretty much traced back to them just not following the most basic rules of proper dressing of course if you know the rules you can break them but they managed to do the mistakes where it does the most damage I didn’t say and it just doesn’t look right though where I couldn’t possibly agree more is your choice of his royal Majesty King Charles as the most well dressed man there is I just love his pink lapel double breasted suits whom he really buys quite a lot but in general from his Cuffs being just exactly the right amount of length over the shirt to his ties and shirts always be creative but always fitting perfectly. He definitely is the greatest of all inspirations. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him with one slightest mistake of style. I certainly also admire his great intellect and most definitely his beautiful way of speaking. Those are all qualities together with his marvellous and absolutely impeccable way of dressing that our great inspiration to me and twitch. I’m trying to live up as good as I can his majesty definitely is a great role model to me in so many different ways and I think if more young people would look up to him instead of some nasty rappers or similar cultural disgrace the world would certainly be a better place. He just lives as the standing picture of a perfect gentleman.

Excellent video Chris. When I was at school we wore a grey three-piece suit with a white stiff detachable Arundel collar and black shoes and socks. The only colour was in my tie dark blue with a thin white and yellow stripe. We had to wear a four-in-hand knot, tied so that the knot sat on the front collar stud and arched out before going into the waistcoat. It taught me the lessons of dressing properly at an early age, but also how effective it was to simply have a flash of colour against the grey suit and the ridged formality of a stiff collar. The principles of colour you highlight here just reminded me of that.

A great guide and I will use all of the knots, it would be nice for further information about what it is appropriate for different applications

Wonderful video, I can appreciate the value of knowing how to properly interject colour into one's suit wardrobe thanks for sharing!

Hi Chris, Brilliant suggestion about the shirt, tie and pocket square. It's a great way to make some otherwise dull looking suits look interesting.

I also think that you can brighten up a charcoal grey suit with a fedora incorporating a feather of a similar color to your shirt.

What a coincidence. I am trying to pair a dark grey prince of wales RL suit for a function this week. This has certainly given me plenty of ideas and forced me to rethink again. Cheers

Another great video Chris, thank you. You have some great outfits and combinations there. I do think red ties/pocket squares do complement blue shirts. May I ask your opinion on tie pins (those pins that go under the knot of your tie) and tab collars? I've recently rewatched the Bond movie Skyfall and was really impressed by the look. While attempting to be well dressed I'm always conscious of trying to not cross over into costume or a cosplay look. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hello Chris. I like Gangnam shirts I never thought about using it with a suit. Looks good. I usually wear it or tattersall with tweed. I really like the first grey Prince of Wales outfit. It also looks very nice with the purple tie. I need to get a Prince of Wales grey suit. It really looks sharp. Cheers Ron

Another nice job Chris

Agree, navy tie is perfect with the shirt. I plan on buying some Turnbull and Asser pocket squares in the spring and a new pair of Church's shoes. I am too tweedy at the moment and want to become more formal.

Have you covered trouser lengths? No break, half break etc. I am always “interested” to see someone with trousers that are not (for me) the correct length with excess cloth around the ankles. I would not have considered a double breasted suit with notch lapels. The width of lapels seems to vary in cycles although I have always favoured medium wide but haven’t seen any “stylish” DB suits with notch lapels

Any other ways you'd dress down a suit? i have some lighter suits i acquired recently, im hoping to wear them almost casually. adding colour is definitely part of that, as is more casual shoes (brown derbies, tan chelseas and brown loafers, even light tan boots with broguing are in my collection) but i wonder if im missing a trick?

Final ensemble looks good.

The double-breasted grey Prince of Wales suit shown at 10.30 is magnificent, as are the pocket square and tie. What a wonderful outfit! Excellent observation regarding the purple colour; I have never considered it. The tie is gorgeous. In my case, the Gingham shirts belong to the "Hate" department 😂😂😂 Thank you for all the valuable tips. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

Nice one Chris. Now that is what I call a clever pairing of colour shades. I note the shirt also has a double cuff for that extra lift of smartness. Perfect with a navy blue suit. 👍

Excellent combination as usual

Purple hues with a navy blazer and grey flannel trousers. Top it off with some burgundy kilty tassel loafers and navy braces. Cheers Chris 👍😄

Not only the tie is nice, the shirt is very dapper! Which brand is it?

Hi Chris très belle cravate qui va parfaitement avec cette chemise dans un très beau dégradé de violet. Une question Chris l hiver arrivant pourrais tu faire une démonstration de comment nouer et porter une écharpe comme un véritable gentleman britannique bonne journée à toi et porte toi bien

You're a honorable legend Sir! Thank you. I wish you could also do a video on how to wear a pocket square, please. Cheers from the cradle of civilisations Iran (occupied by mullas)

I really enjoy doing this to my shoes but at the end I uses some tyre shine

The mustache is majestic✨️

Fresh

Really like pink with Blue

Very smart, Chris. I would have gone for a tie with some sort of pattern to it rather than plain navy with a navy suit (that is what it looks like in the video). In your defence, you have compensated by injecting a variation of textures between the suit and the tie.👍 The pink gingham shirt offers a well chosen bold note and the pocket square breaks the blue backdrop up perfectly without shouting for attention. Love the shoes. These Wednesday's Wear 'shorts' are always interesting for the way you often challenge our thoughts on the alternatives for putting an outfit together. It is also helpful that you always show us the entire outfit from head to toe. That is equally important and much appreciated. Thank you.😊

Hi Chris super look encore aujourd'hui 👍

Good show Chris 👍. The contrast is especially interesting. Using high contrast with a bold color is a look that always draws attention and compliments. Cheers
