agreed… same way when some are too vocal about being quiet luxury… the irony.

the thing i like about your channel is that even though we have completely different styles i can still watch your videos and learn something that i can use myself

You have a very refreshing take on fashion. You're not being controversial you are really in tune with the normal folks

Aaron from Alpha M gets clowned on *hard* by more fashion-progressive creators, but to his credit, his corner of KZbin is full of some very hypermasculine and problematic ideas of how men should behave, and Aaron is nowhere near that toxic. Like he’s a generally levelheaded guy.

Suede is easier to maintain than most leathers imo, just make sure there isn't rain in the weather forecast. Dirt can easily be brushed out.

Only looks good when you’re a teen. But if ur a grown adult with a mustache HELL NAW (unless you’re a korean boy with fringe haircut).

The Arabian Gulf countries are the last countries on Earth that has a formal dress which is worn by most men every day, whatever the occasion. Before the 60s, most European men across the world would wear shirts, hats and suits as standard.

Agree to almost all of the points, except for #7 & #8 😂

That Ashley woman has no style herself, it’s like she just walked into Zara and picked up the most dull thing they sell. Why anyone would take fashion advice from someone who has no style themself is beyond me.

💛💛💛

I do agree with a lot of what you've said but socks and sandals are just an abomination and an insult to the eye. 😧

Just bought a pair of Diesel jeans short, i.e. wearing them too. 😎👍 (Don't mind the echoing of another influencer, bashing short jeans. 🤓)

This is exactly my style. 😉👍 Although I'm (almost) always buying them when seriously discounted. 🙃 My current girlfriend turned out to be from an old money noble family and her parents regularly complimenting me for my 'good taste and style'. 🤓

Is women fleece jacket is unisex version?

14:12 A 100% agree. 😎👍 I have the body of a Greek god (ok, maybe that's an exaggeration 😉✌️), but shorts above my knees makes me look like a circus clown. Always hated, thus violated this rule.

Great vid. Hair looks good. Let’s vlog James. Take us around town. See some cool stores 😊

Tabi's are classic and are going nowhere

I like leopard print, mostly because of my love of Greek mythology and vintage bodybuilding which frequently used animal prints

Clarks will not last too

how tall are you

What are the jeans in the video and how did you find that fit? I’d love to find it but it’s either too straight or overly baggy. Can’t seem to find that loose yet cropped at bottom fit

I don't know how it took me so long to subscribe -- your videos are always so helpful for me, a clueless millennial who's relatively new to menswear. And your voice is so soothing! I managed to snag the original vintage version of those Polo Ralph Lauren shorts for basically zero dollars and am maybe more thrilled than I should be.

that was so impressively efficient. many many other youtubers would've wrung an hour out of this but you were so refreshingly concise and on-topic.

bought the wales bonner silvers last summer and still have and love them, i dont really care about trends

Class to see my mini clip featured styling the Carhartt detroit jackets! Very valid opinions can see lots of these dropping out of trend fast!

I wanted to love their chino pants but after a couple of washes (cold) mine shrank and one pair no longer fit me. I bought 3 pairs and they all fit differently so there is some inconsistency there as well. The fit is great initially, but not worth the price for me. I would like to try some other pieces though.

While I will NOT accept the silver gel-kayano legacy slander I will be very happy to see the back of the 'owner's club' stuff.

I have stuff from oversized to slim. I'm still going to rotate them and not follow trends because I finally found out what works and doesn't in my personal style. Lol! I still have my eye on dirty jeans (not ripped) from Acne. Lol. But you are right. I'm also wearing down my raw denims and looking forward to how they break down. Trends may die out but there will be sub-cultures still wearing them. i.e. oversized and baggy is dominant now but there are still people rocking slim. It will be the same when baggy goes out of the limelight. It's cyclical.

Those baggy oversized jeans were popular in the early 90s and sometime in the early 2000's. Sometime in the year 2000 my nephew was into that look but his were paired up with chains hanging down off the waist. Not sure how long the look lasted for but eventually it went away.

Been there, done that. From archive Ann D (sister put me on that sht), to all the way to Ecko/HUF/Hundreds when they were poppin'. Been in multiple communities, all the way from SuFu to SZ and StyleForum. Just wear what you want or like. These trends are made by someone, then adopted by the masses. If you happen to enjoy one of those trends then awesome! You don't gotta drop'em once its not hot anymore. If you like'em, then you like'em. End of the story. In the end, you gotta be comfortable with what you wear. For me, it all felt fake AF, felt like I was wearing a costume. AKA lookin' like a tryhard or a poser. It's great to wear clothes and express yourself, that's the beauty of it. But I've realized that it's not for me, I will just stick to watching runways vids or photos from my fav designers / houses. Like any other hobbies, you gotta find the healthy balance. Hope y'all find inner peace with clothes.

I’m totally with you on this. It’s all about expressing yourself and you’re comfortably and properly outfitted for the occasion.

My parents bought me oversized clothes so I can grow into them. I’m not doing that all over again

Great video man, could you name the specific model for 9forty cap? It’s amazing but I can’t find it anywhere

I think rolled dark jeans and shiny loafers look great together. Also happy to report that I never dress my age. 😎

Dude, I'm quiet poor I buy the cheap shein version of this type of clothing: no logos, simple design... Most of the time the quality is fine, sometimes it ain't Also I probably don't know what real quality is, so... And footwear is a no go, do not buy super cheap footwear

Thanks

As a man in his early fifties I follow one fashion rule. If I like how it looks, I wear it.

Metallic shoes are so awfull But the silver wales bonners are a match made in heaven these are perfect they refclect my toxic and narcissistic persona perfectly I love them almost as much as I love myself

I'm 52, so I know I'm getting older, and my philosophy jobs with yours. I know what works for me and what looks good and what's appropriate for a different situations, so while I find these videos interesting and sometimes get new ideas from all these people, I don't slavishly follow their advice.

How should I choose woman jeans sizes when i have 30 male or is it the same?

I can't wait for this whole oversized jeans, tee, hoodie etc. trend to either die out or at least not be as prevalent as it is right now. Literally every second 15-24yo is dressed like this. And don't get me started with the god-awful Vans Knu School, Adidas Campus and other chunky sneakers ...

All those fashion channels are pretty bad. I can't believe casual people made them into who they are today, they gained a lot of traction they don't deserve for just mediocre advice.

The dressing your age part should really speak into people's mindset as they're growing up. Who care about what other people think honestly? If you do, you're spending too much time on social media and consuming too much of what these influences are saying. Just be smart about you wear and what makes you feel confident and comfortable I think are the most important parts.

Alpaca wool is amazing! Some people who get skin irritation from merino, can wear alpaca. It's got a higher insulation to weight ration than merino and other common wools. It's incredibly soft, lightweight, and warm. I live in Northern Norway, so the weather is always shite, and alpaca is the best <3

I'm so here for the band merch 👏 Just ordered some myself, for the first time in about a decade.

man your vids are cool af, just a personal suggestion to make them more enjoyable, try fiddling around with some emotion music, if you want some detailed suggestions or examples I would love to, again love your work dude!!

Style in today’s day and age can never be outdated anymore. The only style trend that should stay dead is the early to mid 2010s.

Nope. That brown belt with black shoes don’t look right. But the samples shown before worked.

I think tabis will peak soon, but will drop off - fans of the shoe wore them pre-trend and will continue to wear them post-trend too

Been following for years and I'm commenting for the first time. This is probably your most universally important video yet.
