He Spoke Style you seem to be more in your own. More confident. Less scripted. I don’t know what it is. But the new intro also gives it some freshness. Keep it up Brian. Loving it.

Brian, as a 32 year old professional, I am just now coming into “my own style.” You are helping me understand what this can look like. I really appreciate you and the experience you are sharing with your audience.

[@arsarcanum1123]

Simple, straight to the point, and comprehensive for beginner like me. Not only the ties but I also take inspiration for the suits. I love your work on this video. Thanks a lot, Bryan 👍🏽

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Canadian388]

Another great video. In my opinion, it’s the best men’s style channel out there. Would love to see you do something about how best to match shirt collars with different types of neckties, lapels, and body types.

[@hespokestyle]

Good ideas. Thanks so much, Brendan. Appreciate your kind words and support.

[@robertgiaimo8935]

I'm putting a vote in for the knitted square finished tie, a nice 60's vibe and extremely versatile it can be casual and dressed up. Really like the Solero suit with the green tie.

It’s a pity, I can see my days wearing a tie are numbered. If I’m honest, even smart dress is now a rare occurrence for me these days. I’m envious looking at old photographs when men dressed like gentlemen and women like ladies. Absolutely loved all your combinations.

Can’t go wrong with grenadine ties! Definitely make sure get a real one. I had a “grenafaux” tie in the past and when I upgraded to a real one, the difference was astounding.

[@hespokestyle]

Nope. It's the best!

[@flowstateentertainment8395]

Where do you buy your ties from

[@Darruus]

@@flowstateentertainment8395 ties in general I mostly get from thrift stores and consignment. But grenadine ties are harder to find there. I get mine from Kent Wang.

Wanted to wait for day 3 to comment, but hot damn that red medallion look is a million dollar look. There's something with double-breasted suits that's just extremely powerful, and that tie is just the pop of color (hmm) that completes the whole look. Also really liked the brown striped tie look. Very classy - especially paired with that Patrimony that just makes every look even classier. I've said this before but I believe should be noted again - I think the intro and new effects take the videos up a level, I like them a lot. Cheers.

[@hespokestyle]

LOL. Day 3... Thanks so much, Yoni. Appreciate your support.

[@tailorsoldierspy6464]

That's the update I was waiting for! I watched the one you made few years ego and to be honest the video didn't really convince me about wearing ties and let's face it, ties have always been the only thing I still have a hard time to wear. To me wearing a tie feels always like it's too much but Coming across in this video the Deep red with the gold medallions and the blue one changed the whole thing, it really opens new doors in terms of style and feels very casual, a nice way to express your style in a fun way. The tuxedo look awesome👌👌👌. Thanks for the video.🙏🏼

[@hespokestyle]

Awesome! So glad to hear it. And you are most welcome.

[@edwardmason119]

I wear a lot of paisley ties (most often to Church), but 100% on letting everything else be simple and let that be the focal point.

[@XxLogo]

Definitely great choices. For me, as I don't dress up often, I am working towards a 5 tie rotation for the odd occasions. Probably was going to go with something like 3 Grenadines (burgundy, navy, and olive), grey wool, and a light linen tie (looking at mint).

[@hespokestyle]

Sounds good!

Taking away from the outfits and ties. I think a huge round of applause needs to go out you can see such a change in the production of the videos over the last month or so (not that I felt it needed improvement I might add) which given the situation the world is in astounds me! Clearly you have your groove back and i for one am thankful. Having these videos to watch in my breaks from works just makes me so excited to get back out and dressing. I seem to be making more of an effort even for the little trips to the shops to look put together. Who know when I will have chance to put a tie on again but I look forward to that.

[@azizquadri5824]

Whilst the list in this video is great, but I'd like to add 2 more ties which I consider to be absolute essentials. The navy blue or burgundy polka dot silk tie is an absolute classic and timeless tie which every man needs to have in his wardrobe. I own a burgundy one, and I find it so easy to pair it with formal suits as well as sport coat and odd trouser combinations, well I even paired it with a trucker jacket in suede and a dress shirt and odd trousers with penny loafers for a high low outfit. The second tie would be a brown grenadine, you own it, and you use it a lot, so I don't need to tell you just how versatile this tie is, and I think you included it in the previous version of essential ties.

[@hespokestyle]

Dots for sure! Thanks for the comment, Aziz!

[@theaverageguy1545]

One of your many praise worthy aspects are the attention you always give to details . Great tie collection and great outfits as well. Particularly I loved the look with navy DB suit most. Hope to see some outfit ideas with the double breasted suit. As you haven’t made any videos on your db suits so far( except the indochino brown db suit review)

Fantastic outfits, without exception... which are all the more fun to see in these 'any excuse I can get to dress well' times. I gotsa know: still using the Old Bertie knot? (Looks like it... that and the Nicky Knot are favs.)

[@hespokestyle]

Nope! It's a variation on a Nicky Knot, which I like for its asymmetry.

[@wayneleong3452]

Your enthusiasm for simple elegance is infectious - and your tone is so friendly, like we're speaking face to face. I've transformed into a fashion enthusiast since I bought my first suit following your advice - a midnight blue - back in 2019. I've recently bought a 3-piece burgundy suit (exactly like yours).

Thank you. It's old, from Brooks Brothers about five years ago.

[@Lassehansen3]

Great video Brian 👍 I might still stick with the blue silk tie from your last video, it is difficult the tie that gets the most use from me. As a side note maybe 10 ties is more than most people need? If you would be more limited which ones would you consider essential?

[@hespokestyle]

I'd pick one of each category.

Hey Brian, do you have any ideas for matching tie with pink striped shirt and plain navy suit? It"s bold, but yet elegant. But I don't have any clue which one I should go for

Unless it's summertime, I wouldn't do the pink shirt. Just treat it like any other shirt with a navy suit and you'll be okay.

Great video as always Brian. I have a very quick question mate. I'm getting married (I should mention this is a watch question). I'm thinking of buying the Tudor BB steel and gold with the black face (not the champagne dial). I'm limited by budget and on the bracelet this is at the top end of my budget. What do you think in regards to this watch for a wedding?

[@hespokestyle]

It's an awesome watch. If you love it, you should get it, but I'm not sure that it really jibes with a tuxedo (if that's what you intend to wear). That's me personally. But you could certainly wear it for the wedding--perhaps a nod to James Bond--and then have an amazing watch for the rest of your life as well!

[@terrystubbsjnr]

[@kennanconner5579]

Great content as always! Timely too in my case as I have been searching for ties. I was curious, are you familiar with the brand Poszetka? The brand is mostly built around their accessories (like ties), but they also seem to have clothing with the sartorial details that I know you're fond of. I haven't found a single mention of them on KZbin outside of Polish reviewers, for whatever reason

[@hespokestyle]

I'm not. A quick browse of their website gives me pause. Their ties "look" okay--in terms of patterns, etc.--but even from the photos I feel like I can tell the quality isn't super high. They look quite flimsy.

Mr. B have you made a video on how to tie a tie in a small knot? similar to the style of HRH Prince Charles of England.

[@hespokestyle]

Yes there are double four in hand and nicky knot videos. However, I will say that the size of the knot is greatly dependent on the fabric of the tie.

[@artagain8977]

I have over 40 ties. But other than the occasional wedding, I have worn one in years. My employer went business casual over a decade ago. I do miss the look.

[@hespokestyle]

You could still do a tie with business casual, no?

[@artagain8977]

He Spoke Style I guess I could. But then I’d be a tad over dressed compared to my colleagues. I’ve been working from home since March and we’re not expected to return to the office until March or even later. It may quite sometime before I tie another half knot. Love your channel btw.

[@leonstevens1382]

I would stick with the Brooks Brothers spectrum of ties. Having said that, Brooks ties are (too) expensive. You can get the same ties from Tie Bar for half the price or less. But use Brooks as a guide. ( I have no relationship, business or otherwise, with Tie Bar.)
