I like that statement- "Never underestimate how judgemental your fellow person is." That is so true! A man can be the kindest, most compassionate, and competent person, but there will be those who will judge him on outward appearance alone.

[@daviddahl8186]

Because so many look for short cuts rather than get the information they need from the interview, meeting or other encounter.

[@incognito7843]

yeah, it is amazing how many people never realise that they are actively damaging their careers by not considering what they are wearing to work and why. I mean, it is a low effort tweak. If you dress properly people will take you more seriously, at least you will not make people look down on you because of it. A career consists of a package of things, the easiest varbile you can affect is what you wear. People spend 4 years on sometimes pointless degrees, but they wont spend 1 day a year to shop decent clothing.

[@steveoatway7001]

My decades of experience taught me it is inherently natural to base our initial opinion of someone by their appearance because animals do the same thing. Finding out what a person's character is has to be done through conversation and observations like how they react to situations, but appearance tells me a lot about their character right away.

[@lostboy8084]

I do remember that I went to an interview and I at first thought I was at the wrong place. People came in casual wear, some came in a shirt and t-shirt, I even saw the torn jeans style. I admit this wasn't for a suit and tie position but I came to the interview dressed up in a suit and tie. Looking very out of place. During the interview the very first question they asked was to thank me for taking the position seriously and was told out of the hundreds of people they interviewed I was the first to take care of my presentation and asked me why. I told them the first thing I learned from the military is that first impressions last and to dress to succeed. It did also surprise them that I actually came prepared with my own pen.

[@terry_willis]

Interesting that you refer to "torn jeans style". I never thought of it as a style. I considered it more of a mental illness. It's mainly exhibited by women and teen girls. Conformity is a powerful force.

[@AngelGonzalez-pd4cn]

I am 58 years old, I spent a long time in the shipbuilding industry and offshore oil platforms, I was foreman of crews of shipfitters, pipefitters, welders combo, I rarely had to attend job interviews, in my trade you build your reputation with the skills, quality and mastery of your work that you get over time, once they know you everyone wants guys like you in the yards and platforms. Having said that, in this trade the last thing you need is to go to job interviews dressed in a suit with a tie, shiny shoes, shaved looking like a new born baby and with cologne all over you smelling like woman on her wedding day, that is bullshit and employers in this trade know that.

[@Richard_L_Y]

I remember back in 2004, when I was in the Army in basic training, my Drill Sergeant took a few soldiers aside and said, “If you dress professional, people will treat you professional.” I took that advice and ran with it. I really love these fashion tips. Thanks for the advice!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@bodhi9464]

I agree 💯. I was a drill instructor 🇦🇺 for 7 years and went through the basic training myself many years before that. To this day, I still make my bed to military standard (hospital corners etc.), polish my shoes and press my shirts. I always get comments on my shoes and well pressed shirts. Discipline 🟰 Success. (was saying this many years before I ever heard of Jocko Willinck).

[@garypointing5825]

I'm British and my second proper job was in a call centre. My overall boss was an ex British arm captain in the guards...his comment to me. " Gary how can you sound professional on the phone when you look like a sack of shit with string round". He was so right, I now am always, always the best dressed man in the room

[@dat581]

I was enlisted Air Force and always ironed my uniform shirt to within an inch of it's life. Some of the sergeants later mentioned I always stood out because my uniform was squared away. I have commissioned and still iron my uniform and follow grooming standards. It pays off!

[@Pantology_Enthusiast]

Most of this is spot on. The exception is fragrance. It's a gamble if it is a chemical that triggers allergies. Vanillin is the only safe bet but you will smell like a cupcake... You might be good with that. You do you. In office and formal settings, you should not have a distinct smell. It's not professional and is increasingly considered as offensive as it interferes with others getting work done. Personally, l actually inform those I work with of my allergy issues and request they keep it in mind. Our employe handbook also mentions that strong smells are not professional. If my eyes are watering when your egregiously lilac bottom opens that door, our meeting will be cancelled before you get across the room.

[@martinjohnson4405]

When I was still working, one of the guys I worked with was a smoker and used copious amounts of cologne to cover the stench of smoke in his clothes; I would nearly pass out when he walked by me. In several of my activities we are told "no scents!" In most things I do there is at least one or two people who are allergic to various smells and in a zendo scents are as distracting as loud breathing to others' zazen practice. I'm still searching for truly unscented aftershave lotion, deodorant, and bath soap.

[@jdsheleg8332]

"The status comes from within". Great statement.

[@KaleoMgmt]

I realized years ago that no one walks into a house and consciously notices that there's no dust, but they will notice if it's dusty. The same goes with grooming. They may not even consciously realize it's been done when talking to you, but they'll definitely notice if it hasn't!!

[@somebodyoncetoldme8636]

Its been a while since I watched your videos. Glad I found you again. You are so right, your dress is your uniform. When you are getting dressed, you are putting on that uniform that says I'm business. It also helps you get into the right frame of mind for what is coming during the day. BTW, I forgot about the "shorts" thing. Dress like a man, not a kid.

[@muntedmonk3884]

Hi Antonio 👋, thanks for the tips which although were mostly familiar to me, now in middle age after many years in senior executive management roles and more recently operating my own business, I just wanted to thank you for pointing out what many young men now simply don’t know. Often basic fundamentals that if overlooked can be detrimental to a man’s progress in his chosen path. One point you made there I was fortunate to have my father teach me from a young age was the importance to always look after your shoes (which I assume came from his own father who was a highly ranked officer in the ADF🇦🇺) especially good leather shoes that not only deserve the respect and attention but as you point out, are far more important and noticeable in regards to first impressions. Just because they are right down below, doesn’t mean they should be any more ignored than you would your upper body traits. In fact, I’m in the middle of secretly renovating my father’s old wooden shoe polishing box that he used while in business most of his life, to present him as a Christmas gift). He’s now In he’s 80s but I owe him many things and one that I cherish now is my daily routine and importance I place in grooming and dressing myself “every time” I leave my apartment. Keep up the great content. 👍 🇦🇺

[@Abritontheside]

As a teenager, my wise old dad often reminded me, "You seldom get a second chance at a first impression." Now, at the age of 78, I frequently receive compliments on my style. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to break the bank for a polished appearance. Take, for instance, my collection of three pairs of Brogues, steadfast companions for over four decades. Then there's my Burberry raincoat, a treasured find from a high-end charity shop on Bond Street, London, acquired two decades ago for a mere £150. Astonishingly, it still boasts a pristine condition, a testament to both quality craftsmanship and timeless style, The most important thing, keep your posture in check.

[@syc6598]

I knew a startup, if you came with a suit like that, they immediately knew you were a bad engineer, because that's what bad engineers do, they compensate with their look. And another thing, if you dont usually come with a suit, and suddenly you do, they start to worry you're looking for another job. It's very funny. It happened to me when i was in a BS project and they knew i was about to leave LOL.

[@docloftis]

I agree that the smallest things will become the biggest criticism against you. Such an important point yet so ignored. The people who say they don’t want to be judged are sadly the ones being the most judgmental in life.

Mistake number 7: wearing fucking tennis shoes with your prom suit

[@bdcochran01]

There was a kid in my high school. His parents were school teachers. He wore a white shirt and tie to class in high school in the 1960s. He managed to earn only one B in high school, the rest As. Scholarship to Harvard. Now on the faculty decades later at UCLA Law. His looking "serious" did a lot for his success. I taught my high school graduate brother-in-law about dressing. When he became a contractor, I had him always keep available a Brroks Brother suit and dress shoes, even to the point of having it hanging in the construction trailer. Today, he is on the train returning from Washington, DC from some dinners. Your appearance counts.

[@0017Bulldog]

Antonio, you are so right on your points here. Especially on the interview points. I think of issues that you mention as having a cumulative effect. While some of the clothing errors may seem small, but they can all add up quickly and then throw in one poorly answered question and you're toast.

[@terryshrk]

Great advice DevilDog! Tech companies are known to be often pretty liberal with their dress codes. However,..large financial firms, investment companies, and banks ( especially those on the east coast and also here in Dallas) are still pretty conservative and require professional attire in the work place. Great rule of thumb is to gather "intelligence" on how execs dress at whatever company your trying for and within your own financial abilities,..allow their look to inspire yours during any interview process.

[@msk3905]

First impressions are everything, it is very hard to change someone's opinion of their first impression and I always believed in overdressing your role. I am in the engineering field and can say that they really need to offer a grooming and etiquette class in school, about 75% of engineers NEED IT!

[@hlgibson11]

That last tip really hit home because it’s something I noticed a year or 2 back. Shorts look childish and long pants make you look far more mature and/or experienced.

[@dickcliffe]

Great video - there is a thirst for this type of advice. I remember going through officer training in the UK's Royal Air Force - they inspected your wardrobe and gave advice on what it should contain and what to wear for different occasions. They was also heavy on courtesy and social protocol to avoid embarrassment at social events - it was an eye opener for a young officer cadet but has proved invaluable throughout my life.

Always great advice. Maybe do a show on EDC. For example, a stylish, small fixed blade knife vs the typical folding knife with a clip stuck in a pocket. A Browning Hi-Power, 1911, or CZ75 vs a Glock or other modern pistol. I also like the idea of an old S&W Model 10 or Colt Police Positive, or a S&W Model 19 or 66 with a 2.5 inch barrel. Add to that the holster: a lovely leather holster vs a practical but not very sightly lured holster.

I got to send my message every seasons and I got complaints or phrases as to suppose to back then with shirts and tank top. Or, as my wife said, I went a full one 180. I went from men to yoga pants, facial hair with bids, and man bun with tank top toward long sleeve with cufflinks clean shaving trim beard jewelry and dress shoes (almost I wear dressy version of barefoot because it super comfortable af) even changing up my tie I started collecting watches as well that will go good with my anson belt or shoes and sometimes wearing a sport jacket. 10/10 every 7am when I come back I feel way to great. Even on my way out to work, someone who I haven't seen in years who is an opposite of me saw me leaving work with my bosses and couldn't believe his eyes who he was seeing. We spoke on the phone and he thinks I making mad money. When I'm not I'm just saving and investing on my next appearance or trips with the family. I love this Channel a lot that I even bought the cologne too. Also Justin treadeu not a rockstar..

"All defense, no offense" - Buddy Ryan 😂

[@wileyallen1545]

Great point on shorts Antonio! In NA they are acceptable but go to a place like England and that's what a school boy wears. I have some affordable lightweight golf pants for the warm weather when wearing shorts just won't cut it. Plus I can get replacements anywhere there is a pro shop or WalMart. I even use them in the winter if I'm going to be indoors and heavy weight pants aren't required. Save the shorts for the patio, pool, picnic or barbaque. Your friend did do a major mistake. Shoes really matter, especially in a job that requires attention to detail. If you can't figure out your clothes, how are you going to figure out the complex problems with computer programs? (You probably can, but the image of your ragged, mismatched shoes blows all your credibility and image.) You have to be appropriate to your setting. I work the stage as a kid's entertainer. If I walk out in a suit and tie or the cliche tuxedo I've failed right there. I'm supposed to look fun and cartoony while performing my character. When I'm meeting a client for a booking, I wear business casual, because it's business...not performance. Know your setting and conform to fit in. I don't wear sweatpants to work and I don't wear a suit and dress shoes to rake the leaves. I am also not a walking billboard for a brand of clothing. Look at the Sperry, Polo and Hilfiger original logos...very small and understated.(Although they did cave in to giant logos when they were a thing. They aren't a thing anymore!) Same with the Levis famous red tab....no need for a giant tab the size of a recipe card, everybody on the planet knows what it is.

[@PeteNice29]

When we talk about this kind of stuff, it's really about whether it's appearing that you're paying attention to details. Most interviewers aren't going to dock you because your shirt and tie patterns might be too close; rather it's that your shoes aren't shined, your belt mismatches your shoes, your clothes are ill-fitting or unpressed etc. Basic stuff anyone should know, and these are not esoteric items that are easily researched.

When I dress very conservatively, I look like my dad, (a career Marine Corps Officer) I have been a journalist, a salesman and now I am a working artist/art consultant. I incorporate some of my military style (Navy) in my wardrobe and then add the colorful pieces that are me. I like the canvas belts and wear them with either a USMC belt buckle (to honor my dad) or one of my Navy buckles, sometimes my old NROTC silver buckles. Then put it all together with a bright bow tie. Oh, and I am a recreational sailor, so my style is a bit sailboat preppy. I find that I pick up little bits from your videos that make my style better.

Of the many videos I have watched from you, I was able to sit down and actually zone in on everything you were saying. This video was very straight forward and didn't seem to stray away from each key mistake focused on. I appreciate the research analysis given from studies you found or have conducted yourself. Especially with how styling is viewed by cultures as well.

[@edwardpate6128]

When I first started my corporate job in the mid 80's I was told to avoid wearing a black suit and to stick with gray or dark blue. The reasoning at that company was that black suites were informally reserved for those who were director level leaders. Also double breasted suites were verboten as were loafers or shoes with tassels and only white shirts and no facial hair.

[@PWeilerMr]

Today I have come across a few videos about "what others notice" and each one brings up your "signature scent" or lack there of. I'd like to pass on what I learned from my father: Keep your armpit hair to an absolute minimum. If you have BO it's because of the bacteria caused by moisture and the odor attaches to your hair. I keep my armpit hair short and use the most cost effective "deodorant"; a mixture of equal parts baking soda and corn starch. It works for me. Cheers

[@joecater894]

truly high status people wear a suit with casual clothes.. so a suit with white trainers.. and their two top buttons undone.. they are casual with some offical clothes thrown on top :) I'm a firm believer in you making a connection with the interviwer.. if you can take the interviewer to a casual place.. if you can break the ice.. whilst at the same time looking like you have a lot of comittment to the thing you're interviewing for.. you will win! When I attend interview I get the job nearly 100% of the time.. I'm not good at everything.. but I am good at interviews! You can't attend an interview looking really rough.. all over.. but its a blend.. maybe you have a recent hair cut .. and a good jacket.. for example. But one or two casual items like shoes.. no problems. Last interview I went to I was wearing hiking boots.. jeans and a casual shirt.. I got the job. But you do have to understand the enviroment; are the people dressed down / casual? Then.. you in all liklihood dont have to dress like you're going to a dinner party in 2024.. just my experience.. the tech industry is a casual dress industry.. generally.. having said that if you are attending interview to a traditional consultancy firm, then yes.. that's a suited and booted appointment!

When I was looking for my first job back in the 00's, a few of my fellow interviewees had their ties tied supper fat and short like schoolkids who were trying to be rebellious, now that look I though looked terrible even on schoolkids but it looked even less impressive on someone actually trying to look smart for an interview vs being forced to wear it for uniform requirements. That and some people actually just wore sneakers with their dress trousers and shirt. I actually count myself lucky to have gone to a school that didn't have a uniform requirement, as it stopped me getting into bad habits just to be rebellious against uniforms and smart clothing, so when I dressed smart it was because I liked it and was interested in it. My brother's only smart pair of shoes are some Derbys, and I intend to get him a pair of nice Oxfords for his birthday, but the least I could do for now was give them a pretty good polish.

[@MacheteTalkStudios]

Good morning antonio! So I have a question I would love to have answered perhaps in a new video or even in this comment section so I work at my local Dillard's here in Southeast Texas and I am one of the fragrance specialist in the Cosmetics Department. What is a really really great way to convey that I know all there is that I need to know when it comes to selling fragrance by getting that point across visually on a customer's first impression? Right now I'm wearing a solid black 3 piece suit with fabric mixtures of silk and wool and the standard good old polyester. But with everyone in my department also wearing black suits how can I separate myself and how I dress from the rest of my co-workers? And again thanks Antonio for all your videos and everything you do all you do it's helped me out for a long time an identifying the person that I know myself to be!

Detail of a detail: I was in AF ROTC in high school. I usually did great on inspection, but they got me for my shoes one time because of my edges! I had to walk to school and the salt got on my edges. I bought edge dressing before the next inspection and passed with flying colors.

If this guy thinks his buddy didn't get a job because of his shoes, he hasn't actually worked in the business world.Pretty much every white collar job I ever had, people were clueless as far as fashion. Especially as it got to be more technical and specialized. In fact someone that was super fashion conscious would likely be passed over as the department would feel like he didn't belong.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

Yeah I see business men with open laced shoes and a suit way more than anyone with closed laced.

[@Texas240]

Remember, the person doing the interview is probably not in the department that the person will be working in, ie tech or business. The interviewer is from HR, or even a 3rd party company, and probably very likely to notice and be put off by things talked about in the video because THAT IS their specialty field. Sure, if EVERYONE has the same unkempt issues, then it's not an issue. But, if everything is equal, the person who got the little details of grooming and style correct has an advantage. Again, the person doing the interview has the specialty of interviewing people not whatever the business actually does.

[@alchemysticgoldmind4164]

That's not fashion as much AS Grooming...polished shoes say something about you

[@markgunther2502]

@@alchemysticgoldmind4164 Yea that one's likely clueless as far as tech goes. I honestly have never met a techie that knew a thing about fashion. If there were a lineup of random unknown people, and I had to choose one to fix my computer, I would pick the guy with the worst fashion sense. Now if we're talking about sales, you might have a point, but for positions that require sitting in a cubicle unseen by outside customers, the unfashionable guy is more likely to be the better more valuable employee.

[@pdxmusl1510]

Idk. There's litterly no visual difference between open and closed lacing. I mean yes... I can actually spot the differences. I have both shoes at home. But to spot the differences requires an electron microscope. If i got denied a call back for this. I don't need that job. Because the differences litterly don't matter. And my crappy choice of shoes will absolutely never be an indication of my ability to do the work. No matter how much someone wants it to be. Anybody judging otherwise is putting vastly too much emphasis on presentation. And virtually no emphasis on skill. So I don't want to work there. To shallow of a company. And they likely have no skilled workers. And I really mean that... apple. In a virtual interview. Nobody has asked to see my shoes. The stuff with the unpolished shoes and shoes laces. Ok. That I agree looks slopy and can be distracting. I can understand where that might throw the interview rhythm off. But it shouldn't be a direct cause of interview failure. Baring something absolutely egregious. You should be evaluating skill not style. Unless your job is directly style related. Like I know rmrs would never hire me due to my lack of style. I'm ok with this.

[@steveoatway7001]

I just found you and am very impressed by your presentation so shall watch more of your videos before commenting in depth, given my related experience in both the subject matter and being on camera. I do have a request I consider important for men, given my age now. People dress horribly nowadays especially Left-Wingers but my request is for a video on looking good/stylish for retired men whether 50 or 70. The reason is I see HORRIBLE outfits on these men whether they have a great pension or are struggling with today's insane prices for essentials. The very wealthy men usually don't need this so showing expensive items isn't the best use of your knowledge. If you take this on, I suggest the approach of what to wear for different circumstances. There are the public appearances we all have in common like concerts and dining out. For my interests I have a school reunion coming up with a grad class who were very successful when students and we've never lost our competitiveness. I try to look my best when out shopping, at the gym and in the warmer weather I play tennis, cycle and walk a lot for both fitness and social walking like the Car Shows I attend. Those shows and similar events are where I see men dressed in ways that make a professional style maker like you break down and cry!

I know there are a lot of men who live in the BIG city who wear suits a LOT. But the fact is the majority of the men in the country live in small cities/towns were the only time they wear a suit MIGHT be to church if then. For example, I have taken some of your advice and started dressing up I was alone sitting in line to be seated at one of the better restaurants in the small city where I live. I started paying attention to what the men were wearing out of the 75-100 men I seen coming and going only 2 tried to dress nice. ALL the others were wearing some sort of Camouflage hat/Jacket/pants/shirt with most times a big logo on the shirt with nothing fitted to their body type. This was ALL ages in fact the only one dressing even close to the level I was wearing, was this guy about 20yrs old on a date and both were dress very nice and looked good together. I've started noticing girls pointing me out to their man, wanting them to dress like I am while I'm at the grocery store, how I know that is what they are talking about is because they will point and say," see that's what I'm talking about", I've actually had some guys get jealous for her pointing me out. (I'm digressing) The point I'm trying to make is I don't use everything you suggest for my area. For example, I'm 60yrs old (I do look like I'm in my early 50's) in a small city in the south. What I do is (Fit is king) I layer my top EXAMPLE: I got like a black Tee shirt (of quality) and over that an open Burgandy red button up long sleeve shirt with only the 2nd to the bottom buttoned with the sleeves rolled up 1/4. A nice wristwatch with a matching chain bracelet on the other hand and a matching chain around my neck. Plus, a cheap titanium ring that matches. A nice pair of casual shoes or a pair of Sharkskin or snakeskin cowboy boots. ( I do need more shoes) Where I break away from your teaching is to bring it down to my environment to still fit in. I wear some dark stone washed 501's. (98% of the males wear blue jeans) Now pending on what the activity is I can change the pants and the shoes to fit the occasion. On a date Black 501's and cowboy boots. To the store stone wash and casual shoes, for semi-formal button the shirt up, roll the sleeves down and wear dress paints and dress shoes and change accessories to more formal. In my area you don't have to do a LOT to stand out from the herd but still be part of the herd. Just start taking note of just how badly the men in your area are dressed and just how little effort they are putting into their looks. Just remember guys, when dressing up you don't have to break any records, you just got to beat the guys around you to get her attention.

I didn't know about open lacing versus closed lacing until now. I've always preferred closed lacing naturally. Now I wonder if most shoes in stores are designed with open lacing. I always thought those didn't fit me right, and there might be something unusual about my feet 😐

“Dress for Success” by John T. Malloy The book is nearing fifty years old. I just recently read it again and I couldn’t believe that the book is current. It is still relevant today. Men’s styles change very slowly, and pre-dispositions run deep. Just ignore any young person who says, “well you don’t know. That was then and this is now and styles have changed”. They will constantly chant that mantra as they walk out the building that houses the office of the person who beat them out on the interview all because it came down to minor differences between the candidates and the person with the common sense to respect those conducting the interview by dressing properly for the interview got the position.

Low income people tend to buy clothing with oversized logos, especially luxury brands.. luxury brands in general, not just oversized logos. I developed the idea back when I was a Teenager, the only way I'll wear your big logo what ever is if you paid me. I buy quality name brand stuff but nothing with be logos or at least I can remove the logos. I just bought a new car a few days ago and it has the dealers logo sticker on the back plus a license plate frame with the dealers name. They did not pay me to advertise, didn't ever knock the price down. So I will pull that off soon, going to pull the sticker off now and will remove the plate frame when I get my new plates. I did this to a previous vehicle years ago and when I put the vehicle in the shop to be serviced, they mentioned I didn't have their dealer frame plate name on my vehicle and asked if they could put one on it. I asked, are you going to pay me to advertise, give free oil changes? They said no, I replied, than the answer is no.

8:43 Daytime/Office: Jimmy Choo, 'Urban Hero' from March through Sept and then Givenchy, 'Gentleman' for the later half of the year. At night it's usually Burberry 'Touch' or Dior 'Sauvage Elixir'. I only ever use one spritz, I'm not looking to suffocate my coworkers or taint someone's enjoyment of their meal with my cologne. 9:40 As to the personality of your outfit, I OWN my ties. They're not graphic cartoons, not pictures but I'm a fan of abstract. A Jerry Garcia necktie with a simple tie bar gives your otherwise stale and stodgy office attire a dose of personality that makes sure you're remembered in a 'good' way. That being said, I always have 1-2 "meeting acceptable" ties at hand if/when I get called in. A good watch(I like Movado for the $/recognition ratio), keep your shoes polished and get some shirt stays to keep your socks up and shirts tucked.
