10 STYLE MISTAKES I Made so You Don't Have to | Parker York Smith

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Which of these mistakes have you also made?? Any others?? Thanks for watching!! -Parker

[@erikosberg2678]

I always tried to get name brand items all the time. Waste of money. Like buying a plain white Calvin Klein shirt. Thats 50 bucks. Instead go to Walmart and spend 4.85 at Walmart for one.

[@miriamhavard7621]

Yes.

[@jcampbell100]

Love your content. My husband is 80 and loves clothes. He watched your black shirt short and he today wore black pants a black and cream striped shirt beautiful black tie and a tan sports jacket. He looked amazing. I love that your style advice applies to both of us. Thanks

[@theohbg1380]

I really apreciate how you show those old pictures of yourself. Tells a lot about yourself and also makes a better connection to us.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Yes! It takes time to learn this stuff

[@Nick_Magliano]

I had the opposite problem that you had... I used to wear clothes that were WAY too slim and didn’t flatter my body at all. I was super skinny back in high school so I thought tighter clothes would make me look bigger lol

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Haha valid thought! Glad we all learned from our mistakes.

[@roachrider4774]

Exact same mindset I had, at this point I got baggy pants, but I practically had to go on an expedition to find “ the perfect skinny jeans”

[@miloc9900]

“Just look like you, you look great!” Love that

[@pompommania]

Old video with current content! Def guilty of the sale rack addiction. No more. I donated 8 bags of random pieces. Now sticking to a very simple wardrobe.

[@nubbymuffin2423]

#10 is my favourite. I have the awful habit of buying a piece of clothing without really thinking about how it'll fit with other outfits I have. I mean, I at least thought about my wardrobe overall when I bought blue & black denim jeans, but with tops or dresses, I tend to buy them for something specific, then the next time I look at my wardrobe, I go into the common problem of "not having anything to wear" when I have, in fact, too many clothes - most barely even worn.

[@danishzeshan4093]

These were helpful, I'm 18 and I can sympathize with the over baggy clothes I'm gonna try to make a wardrobe as you said

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Great idea! You’ll be so glad you did

[@billycaldwell6531]

I love you in glasses on your childhood birthday … and you look so happy! As a woman, I love your channel ~ most of your advice is applicable. Also, I love how you get to the point and don’t ramble! Great content! Re tailors, I fell into the opposite problem ~ purchasing too many items that needed tailoring, a tweak here and there. Now I have to really love something if it requires adjustments from the get-go. Thanks!

[@ananeeva4109]

Style is a journey indeed. I remember how painful it was to hear criticism from my mum (a woman who wears polo shirts and jeans all the time). Everything I was picking was too short, too long, too revealing, too conservative, too trendy, too old-fashioned.. it seems like a never was good enough, neither was my choice. It hurts even more now as I understand she never taught me clothing, makeup, hairstyling - nothing, just basic hygiene. She is just not interested in all this. KZbin taught me. And ok, I get it, we are all different, she didn’t teach what she herself didn’t know or wasn’t interested in, but judging me for starting from a literal scratch trying to learn style and fashion felt very unjust 😢

[@MindYoBeeswax]

I stumbled across your page and honestly, you inspired me to start thrift shopping again and redefining my wardrobe. I've always loved fashion and been wanting to make a KZbin channel myself. You made me remember why looking good is so fun.

[@flankerflank6901]

Style is a journey and I agree to that

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Yes indeed, it’s always progressing

[@Miguel_GM]

Really great tips! Thanks! I'm guilty of doing 2 or 3 of this mistakes when I was young, buy mostly the branded clothes and the bad fit ones.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Yes man that’s a big one for me

[@beaglesrfun5896]

You're a legitimate INFLUENCER! Thank you for all the fashion tips.

[@maximilianmaier3950]

I think buying outfits is great as long as you keep the rest of your wardrobe in mind. I do it quite often that I go shopping, pick out clothes that I absolutely love together as one outfit, but before I actually buy them, I think about what other clothes I have at home and if each of those pieces would also work with other pieces from my wardrobe. And unless it's a completely new style that I do want to explore more and add more pieces fitting that style later on, I won't buy the outfit if it doesn't match with anything else. That way you'll end up with both: Some really well put together outfits that you can always just throw on even thinking about it and a really solid general wardrobe.

[@lisamaczura3914]

I'm trying to dress better in a casual style. A lot of the info works for women too. Thanks!

[@Peaceful_Rayne]

None of these were mistakes and you looked good always and in everything!

[@ahnaftahmid9604]

The last idea u shared was great. I buy wardrobe. From today I will keep the mix and matching in my mind when i go shopping. Thanks man it helped me relieve the stress.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Glad you liked thanks!

[@steveblack9391]

Done most of the same mistakes Parker!! Great advice for your younger followers. Regards Steve

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Thanks Steve!! Glad we learned our lessons haha

[@attediaz8344]

must say your misstake beard picture is real good

[@AA-sh8pk]

That low beard gives u an edge bro. At least rock it in November

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Thanks! I dig it, takes so long to grow for me tho haha

[@LisaBumpus-u7h]

I agree

[@staycurious5982]

Truth is more stylish than anything else.....tnx for sharing this video ......

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Agreed!! Of course thanks for watching

[@Sean-jo3dv]

😂This just reminds me of the mistakes I did when I was younger. Wear shorts that are a little too big, look like someone that is ready to give chase, or purchasing shirts that literally doesn't match most of my pants/shorts. Well ever since then, my friends or former classmates are shock with my current style, in a good sense of course😄 Man.. Those were the days. Good to look back and have a laugh about it.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Right?? Gotta make some mistakes in order to learn! Thanks Sean

[@hannahstraining7476]

These rules work equally well for women's clothes, including tailoring!! I am a rather pronounced pear shape, and I can never find off-the-rack pants that fit. $15 at the tailor, and, perfection.

[@nansako8214]

Love your style! Thanks for your help.

[@IRidez]

I spent like $300 for a consult with an image stylist and it was worth it. I used to spend that much on shit that doesnt look good on me lol.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Interesting! That’s a smart idea

[@susanholler2128]

I agree about the shoes! My opinion is that athletic shoes belong in the gym. Nothing looks as tacky as gym shoes with every outfit!

[@yasminedey8612]

Love your videos and advice...and gave it up on facial hair too😅

[@peternewell3570]

You have so many clothes can you do a video on how you keep track of everything and how often you wash everything.

[@gitaristje007]

I don't know if you can get these in the US, but the Belgian brand Komono makes really decent watches that are timeless in design and affordable. Their sunglasses are looking really good, but I can't wear them (I wear glasses in everyday life, so I need prescription sunglasses too).

[@WizageAndStyle]

I have just watched a number of your videos...and I am a girl 😄😄😄 But I like a well spoken, passionate gentleman ❤️

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

That’s awesome thanks!

[@vaskomusic]

Great videos, man! Love the tips and the delivery 🙏

My husband is going to be the best dressed man in our town. Thanks.

[@welovemusic8542]

Great advice...definitely working on not hoarding on clothes that don't fit or i bought on sales....btw I forgot to mention but you look a little like Anthony Padilla

[@ericj6066]

A good tailor is everything.

[@Rammski]

Starting a wardrobe when you have almost nothing feels defeating. Clothes are so expensive these days i feel like. And if i see a good looking hoody and or pants, that is the only clothes i can afford for that month. It feels so slow and i don't want to wear the same thing thrice in 1 week.

[@vinny2474]

wow this video is 3 years old and I'm just now watching it. I think I made a ton of these mistakes in my childhood. Like ALL of them. I really love colors. I love pastel colors or neon orange/green. Those colors make me happy. But I've come to realize that you cant wear those colors :( Or, don't buy a shirt in that color, because you wont be able to wear it often. It's much easier to buy those neutral colors or earth tones. They go with everything. They are calming colors and wont make you stand out, but they will make you look good.

[@qui-gonjinn7329]

I used to be a poser skater kid and I religiously wore dc to the point that I started looking for dc shirts that matched exactly with those big logo dc hats.

[@JEleanorDennison]

I don’t think you looked bad with the facial hair.

[@nitakh77]

I am looking for women's style youtubers that have a similar aesthetic to your men's style. Any suggestions to get the fit and look in the female version? Thanks!

[@yaakovhassoun8965]

I spend quite a lot on accessories, I'd argue about the point that you'll probably lose them, I've never lost a watch and my glasses I'm so careful with them, friggin love my cartiers.

[@r1v3rdl39]

Luckily I haven't made any of these mistakes, but I'm still learning

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Perfect! Now you won’t have to

[@joshsinclair539]

Great info thanks!

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

For sure

[@jethalalnohara302]

Man, i can relate to hoarding too. Have too much fabrics which i never wear.

[@xDaesongRose]

Okay so yea I'm not side with more weight lol. I'm 5'7 at 180lbs. I'd say my torso is longer than my lower half and was wondering what kind of clothes or style I should try or improve? I could give you my IG if you wanted to see for yourself but yeaa LOL

Leather Trousers/Pants for guys? Is that still a thing? What brands are good for them? If so, what would you wear with them?

[@FlyingRedTailHawk]

What hat are you wearing? It is cool.

[@riccardobocchi3085]

In italy, and i think also central europe, it is quite used to wear sport shoes (such as salomon) with wide leg jeans. It is a daddy aestethic but considered urban and stylish, even if it's not my vibe

[@susanholler2128]

It’s been years, but I used to live in Germany and a German friend told me that wearing sport shoes with everyday clothes marks you as an American. (And classless) but maybe styles have changed now

You told us to wear dark glasses to meet parents of new girlfriend. "The eyes are the window to the soul". Elders need to see eyes. And yes prefer clean shaven faces over beards too.

I think we girlfriends or wives might be guilty of buying matchy-matchy “outfits” for our guy. My best guy friend is a good dresser and I shared your channel with him because it will reinforce what he is doing right and maybe introduce some fun ideas too. I like the way you present men’s fashion and your personal style is very appealing. Thanks for all your tips.

I’m kind of distracted by the difference between how classy and debonair his manner is now, vs his old photos which kinda implies a somewhat more obnoxious and stereotypical guy who’s always been handsome 😅 it answers what i’ve been wondering, how is it that he’s so handsome yet has such kind eyes and humble manner - he’s just older now 😅 so this personality could age into a personable quality once they find their own style and become the standard setter than the standard follower.

Dear god i shop for clothes maybe once or twice a year and buy maybe 3 or 4 pieces of clothing during entire year. And it isn't unusual, many people in europe don't buy clothes very often. The idea of going to a mall and buying a whole outfit once or twice a month sounds horrifying. Why would you ever need that much clothes. Why spend as much money so incredibly unintentionally?
