[@AliAli-jw5jj]

Can you make a video for college students going back to school about tips for style on a budget and mastering school

[@danbrown8985]

+Ali Ali I'm not sure he's made a video specific to your question yet, but to get you started you might search " rmrs budget" or "rmrs student" :)

[@Mrkaffecod]

make a 2:nd one

[@lonerfest2438]

+Washington Santiago no good sir, the shoes should match the belt not the other way around

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I thought I've created it already :) www.realmenrealstyle.com/?s=college

[@shelleyinthecity]

As a woman, I have never understood why more men don't realize that their appearance matters. First impressions (and even second and third impressions) leave a lasting impact and influence our thoughts on your intelligence, self confidence, and your charisma. Thanks Antonio for giving men the finer points of looking their best.

[@servantrose]

I'm right there with you, as my DH is starting a business and he needs this info. plus it's just interesting to me, esp. when I do notice other guys and wonder how do they know how to dress so well. love the info

[@shanedoe3462]

Not even a good analogy. People can't choose their skin colour, but they can choose not to look like a dumpster fire.

[@shanedoe3462]

I'm not saying people need to become fashion mavens. It doesn't take hundreds (or even tens) of dollars to buy clothes than fit properly, are without holes, etc. You can get a decent tie at Goodwill for two bucks. In fact, I work PART-TIME for minimum wage and am still able to pull it off. If all these people are too busy to watch KZbin videos, maybe they should pour some of that energy into taking a glance in a mirror once in a while.

[@shanedoe3462]

True, however, the point of this video is that people judge you on your appearance. It doesn't matter if it's fair or not. It happens. Youre more apt to get a job, a date or a promotion if you're perceived as more attractive of well put-together. Life's not fair, so increase your chances by investing a few bucks in some nice shoes.

[@Parocha]

@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou attitude is a person's PREDISPOSITION before acting upon a certain stimuli or event in his or her environment. To assess attitude you requiere to sample a person's behavior over several instances. You are labeling her, and her attitude, on JUST ONE comment. Making ripples on a glass of water, don't you think?

[@RandomGuy-jb8wu]

14 year old here. You're making me a man trust me. My dad was never much if a well dressed man so you really help me. Thanks

[@RandomGuy-jb8wu]

Of*

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Love reading comments like this. Glad you find it useful.

[@MrTacticalinuit]

My dad has 0 style, he is a practical man. He looks terrible in a suit but he will keep warm in a snowstorm. I just finished school and in the last 2 years I've been trying to dress my best and have taught myself through youtube :)

[@MrTruthislight]

In the past people paid less attention tofashion and more to style, so they spent more on classic well-made fitting items that lasted. Today we do the opposite. Shell out more for temporary shit. All people dressed better and ate less crap.

[@rustcohle3803]

Dad used to have style but dude was useless in teaching anything about it. Like he didn't bother to teach me... "never had the time" or "do it yourself".

[@gustavocompean8650]

At my school, we had a fashion show to raise money for our school prom. And while I was in the audience, I noticed that literally no man was wearing a suit "correctly." There were guys who had buttoned two buttons, had puddled pants, and/or had their jackets too long or short. It hurt me on a spiritual level.

[@Wolf0067]

Rule 2. Never Match Your Tie and Pocket Square -- You CAN buy a tie and a pocket square as a set, just NEVER wear them together. Instead of doing so: mix both with other pieces you own already. Sometimes such sets are on sale because many men don't want pocket squares and so the sets stay on the store's shelves. You might get a tie that is sold in a set even cheaper than a tie that is sold as a single item. Sometimes a good oportunity to save money.

[@Jessie_Helms]

Wolf0067 That’s how I got my second lapel pin and 3rd or 4th pocket square. Rly cheap for all 3 (tie included). Granted, I don’t wear them anymore, but if you’re just starting out H&M or Nordstrom’s clearance is a great way to learn how to wear them properly before you start buying the good stuff.

[@brutustantheiii8477]

I’m sorry but I find myself (surprisingly) to be a detractor to this. IMHO To me it takes more effort to buy and keep an exact matching. Maybe it’s my personality but I think it looks much sharper, akin to a military dress uniform (Antonio here would be familiar as a former US Marine). I would match the pocket square to either the tie (night wear social call) or the dress shirt (business day wear) I welcome any counterpoint to this BTW Edit. I think ‘forcing creativity’ is a waste of time and effort and especially money, and can actually show that you just threw together a similar looking but not precise look, as if you were in a rush.

[@qbwkp]

"Someone's gonna die, someone is going to get married, and you're going to need that suit." Wow.

[@qbwkp]

+Blitz Tv Yeah, it just sounded distasteful the way he said it, putting emphasis on the clothes when you should be thinking about the deceased.

[@qbwkp]

Christian Rivera Yeah.

[@darraghtate440]

Let's be honest, a lot of the time when you have to go to a funeral you don't have any emotional connection to the deceased and you go due to other connections. I've been to the funerals of the parents and grandparents of my friends, just to show them support. Granted, it's not necessarily a nice situation, but I and the others in my position weren't exactly torn up about it.

[@qbwkp]

Christian Rivera Can't say I agree. I've thought a lot about life and it's value.

[@Shinywhite]

TR-TR-TR-TRIGGERED!!

[@yourexpo]

I Appreciate this video. I always wondered about why the pocket square and tie should not match and as you spoke, I totally agreed. Makes sense.

[@cameronsimpson5250]

Antonio,Your videos are fantastic and I have learned so much from watching various clips of yours- mainly suits/retail items based. As a salesman myself, when it comes to colour, fabric, style etc and I'm dealing with customers who struggle with matching anything or curious about investing in a wider range of colour, some of my advice given to them has come from your videos. Keep it up and thank you very much.Based on this video of yours about rules, I have one that you haven't spoken about and I do think it will benefit people who don't or who rarely wear a three-piece suit: "Leave the bottom button of the waistcoat undone at all times." Well done and keep uploading!All the best,Cam

[@ganendranpillay3283]

Always learn something new in your videos. Thank you Antonio

[@ArnoldWatson]

Great lesson, Antonio. All were great to learn about the logic behind them. Thank you.

[@38mmartin]

Love watching the videos when I prepare for the week on what to wear...thanks for always having me plan before I step out so I look my best all the time!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

Amazing Antonio...awesome insight into the little things that we miss out on a daily basis.

[@justinamwai9070]

So happy to have come across this. Being a single mother to 3 boys it's such a gift to find your channel - I watch this with my boys and check that they are listening and have subscribed already. It's such a relief to find someone to teach these basics for gentlemen - thanks for doing this and for some reason they pay attention even though they are still very young.

[@EPSTomcat11]

Good stuff! Always nice to know the logic and reasoning behind rules.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thank you!

[@dahyun_love]

Thank you Antonio! Another great vid.

[@bernardocardoso1356]

Great video, this is one of my favorite videos of yours. Concise, effective and with a lot of visuals.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Awesome! Thanks.

[@realKnowItAll]

Another smart rule is watching your videos ;)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I like that rule!

[@itsrdr3708]

+Real Men Real Style hi Antonio I'm 13 and I love your videos

[@AlbinovSK]

Thanks for another great video! I always remember what one bespoke shoemaker told about the importance of high quality shoes - it holds all of your weight for most of a day, so it must be comfortable. It adds weight to argument no. 3.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

That's true!

[@jessemalan748]

These are still valuable today. Thank you mate!

[@ShayneJellyman]

Another great video Antonio, cheers.

[@stephencheney9811]

I really appreciate the "video summary" in the comments, with links to the sections!

[@stylishoversixty9459]

WOW! Really love this video and greatly appreciate the explanation for why certain rules apply and should be adhered to. I didn't catch anything in reference to socks (dress, matching) I sure there are rules that apply here as well thanks for a truly informative video!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Glad to see you here, as always. Thanks Frank!

[@jimvoll63]

Great video! Seven of your videos into one comprehensive video. However I do think matching leathers is more important to the overall look then matching the belt strictly to the trousers.

[@randomkidd2010]

Keep up the great work. Your easy to follow and the appearance of your material is incredible. Im trying to change my dress code from the young hip hop look to a more mature professional style. Your making the transition very easy for me with this page. Thanks!!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@MIKE1REAL]

I agree with everything except for the rule stating not to match tie and pocket square. Great video.

[@quanahdaniels8710]

Hi I just found your channel. I really enjoy your videos. I'm just starting to get into dressing more fancy as opposed to loose fitting clothes, basic t-shirts, etc. Keep it up.

[@grayeagleswolves]

Fantastic Antonio great video you covered it all

[@RealMenRealStyle]

:)

[@aayushtanwar27]

Very helpful rules Antonio !. Thanks

[@RealMenRealStyle]

You're welcome!

[@jeffwoodcock15]

Another great video and to the point. I wish I knew these rules 20 years ago, but now I know it will improve by image - hopefully.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Great to see you here again, Jeff.

[@hasnulf]

great tips and explanation. Glad you are doing more and more videos to educate newbies like me

[@RealMenRealStyle]

You're welcome!

[@nilslang5527]

Top video ! I love watching you talking about style ^^

[@RealMenRealStyle]

What else do you want to see from my channel?

[@sandercarollo5004]

Another great video, nice to know the 'why' behind the rules. I like your shirt, I prefer buttons on the shirt that have the same colour as the shirt itself.

[@kennethcorre9824]

thanks man. u, aaron and jose really help me. salute

[@jdhsingi]

Good logical explanation. Thanks for sharing.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks Jim! Glad to see you here.

[@kokotek71]

I love it when people explain things logically and reasonably and not the way "because my mother said so!". That's why I love this video. :)

[@robins265]

I always learn something new from you Antonio. It probably seems basic to you and most people commenting but it never occurred to me to where a light colored belt with light colored trousers. I usually wear a black belt. It looks better your way.

[@yararevir1538]

Really like your vids. Such a help.

[@emiliom4009]

Thanks, buddy! This video was great.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Super!

[@MrChristopher0003]

Great video. I even avoid messenger bag for my suit

[@guevaraguevara1971]

Actually I was not aware of these rules before, but I exactly apply them in my dress style. Thanks Antonio.

[@rachelgarber1423]

Love your videos Antonio. My brother-in-law and my nephew are both well dressed men, and it's always a pleasure to see them dress appropriately for the occassion.

[@AB-ut3ce]

Antonio, did you link that JLRoche backpack? Great video, I'm having a blast watching you for the last 2 weeks. I'm a newbie to style and never actually bought myself clothes before, this is helping me alot!!

[@akashagarwal9187]

Sir you have created a revolution in my life.

[@Raventhecrow]

Antonio, great video as usual! "Why?" - is the most important question we should always ask, and you`ve succeeded in answering it! Have a nice day and keep it on!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

:)

[@TannerCLynn]

My Allen Edmonds walnut wingtips are one of the best purchases I have ever made. I am saving up to buy another pair!

[@TannerCLynn]

Oh boy, looking back on this comment cuz it got liked. I have 5 pairs now...

[@Amit_the_Analyst]

I love your suggestions thank you.

[@Dark83Noodle]

Thank you for another great video.

amazing info. great video!!!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks, Ashok!

[@slobleed9613]

Thanks for why I should do these steps.

[@MrSuvvri]

great video! and besides- yesterday i was asking myself "how long should my tie be" and here i have the answer

[@ruizisaac7395]

Thank you Antonio! You helped me develop my style in a young age. I started watching your videos since I was 15 :) cheers!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks for the continued support, Ruiz. Cheers!

[@carlospereira358]

I follow all your videos they are excellent, you tech how I dress in my job and everybody told I'm doing great , thank you so much. peace !!

[@theycallmekeanu]

Great video as always Antonio

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks!

[@andres8416]

your videos are so helpful its like you read my mind

[@RealMenRealStyle]

:)

[@lezmajz4677]

Great advises. Thank you.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

You're welcome!

[@Pedrotoo1996]

Antonio, great videos, I like and learn very much with them, thank you for the uploads! One thing you could improve, though, is the camera you use! A higher quality camera would really bring your videos to the next level! Keep on the good work!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Appreciate the honest feedback. Thanks!

[@salas231141]

i just got a budget suit using your tips and u must say i killed it. thanks for the tips.

[@thevinylkid4209]

Great video yet again, Antonio.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Cheers!

[@leodccaps]

That last rule is very intelligent! I never thought about a relation between the belt and the trousers.

[@nelsonlaguer-crespo1056]

great advise thanks

[@careditor]

Great job!

[@TMac00]

I agree with #4. Breaking up a suit never looks good, IMO. Especially wearing a suit/sports jacket with jeans.

[@lucaskobain]

This is old but gold, one your best

[@robboberts6899]

One I like is 'always buy a belt when purchasing new shoes.'This is spot on. If you don't get it from the same manufacturer, it can be nearly impossible to find a nice matching belt.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

You don't necessarily need to exactly match it. I'll talk about it in another video.

[@ujprlkrmir]

excellent video ilearn a lot

[@ravipeiris4388]

Great video.

[@oguscake4346]

im 14 years old and i live in a subclass suburb why do i even watch this?

[@mitchkreitlein9264]

You will grow older one day and when you do you will look far more professional. Believe me this stuff is important

[@oguscake4346]

yea maybe someday i'll reach this but just NOW at this moment i have really no idea to be watchin videos about using costumes and things like that

[@detunche1160]

at least you arent watching porn and this is something you can look up to achieve in the future

[@PongoXBongo]

Because this knowledge will help set you apart. You'll be a sharp dressed young man who's going places. Useful for landing a decent first or part time job while in high school, to save up and extricate yourself from that "subclass suburb". ;)

[@vishalcain]

I'm 14 and I watch men's style videos all the time. Mostly casual style, but these kind of videos are interesting also. I got myself a nice watch that my dad had, upgraded my wardrobe a bit, and I'm saving up to get some new things.

[@latetotheparty7551]

Well-said, Antonio. The reason behind the why is always good to know and enables us to grow on our style journey. Would love to hear your thoughts on how advances in technology and what have you could affect men's style in the near future (10 years or so).

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Good idea! I'll talk about it in another video :)

[@latetotheparty7551]

Great! I know you're a very busy man so that's quite appreciated. :)

[@tommykwok4005]

Thanks Antonio for your sharing! I learn a lot from this video. But I heard most people say a belt should match with the shoes rather than trousers. Is there any reason behind? Which "rule" should I follow? Many thanks!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I'll talk about it in another video.

[@erinkayeozga9947]

Great information 👍🏻

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Super!

[@petermaroney3625]

Another great video! Is it more important to match your belt to your shoes or your belt to your pants?

[@alialsanabsi]

Great video Antonio

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks!

[@derpfisch466]

Hey antonio, your outfit looks really great. Which trousers/ shoes are you wearing to that and in what colour?

Nice that you repport that you have a facebook group. :) I watched you for some time now and didnt register it once. Joining right now. Have a good day.

[@fenryrgreyback1298]

The Trademark Antonio Gesture since forever. Both hands at lapel level or two inches lower, palms turned toward each other, outer edge facing viewer with thumb separated from other fingers. Use by pushing hands towards viewer while stressing syllable for insistence (ex: 4:03 4:05 and 4:42). Great video:

[@philpepe1]

Great video, again! But regarding Rule 5, what happens in Winter?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I'll talk about it in another video :)

[@gamerN77]

#7 I thought you were supposed to match your belt with your shoes ... Anyways, great video!

[@dorinbarbu968]

So maybe you should match the shoes with the trousers too?

[@dylanhale2034]

what he said for the belt goes for the shoes too.

[@The_Misanthropologist]

A belt looks best if matched perfectly to one's shoes. However, if one is wearing shoes of a noncolor, like gray, then an appropriate match would be to one's watch strap. If you are wearing noncolor shoes and a watch without a leather band-a metal link band, for example-then this is where you match your belt to your trousers. A good touch to assert your style prowess is to actually mismatch your belt and your shoes. Keep in mind that the shoes are the endpoint of the outfit, and should have a low contrast to prevent the eye from getting caught on the shoes. Therefore, this look is best when the belt is lighter than the shoes (for example, an indigo suit with brown semi-brouges and a taupé belt).

[@jarrodwilliams7215]

If you guys are the experts and no what matches... why are you watching this video and arguing with it?

[@The_Misanthropologist]

jarrod williams Hey, who knows, you might catch something you didn't know. :)

[@sirwilliam7569]

great video!!! an other rule you forget is about the socks and how to match them

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I should've added it to the list.

[@sirwilliam7569]

Real Men Real Style yes! i was surprised that you skipped it! well now its material for an other video, maybe one dedicated specifically on socks, that are often ignored but i think they are very important :)

[@CarlosRodriguez-xv5eo]

This was probably the most useful video you've ever made

[@TheKrou]

I could've sworn the top-button-only rule existed because the top button ensures the suit sits on you in the way it is meant to be worn but that the bottom button makes the suit pull in odd ways if you are ever trying to bend over or stretch in any way so it is left unbuttoned for extra mobility without hurting your look.

[@dianap3994]

nice video.. I think its important that people know the 'why's about things and not just do it for doing it's sake..

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Exactly!

[@dianap3994]

I'm a doctor and I think your videos opened up my eyes about style, personality and having a better impression. As a doctor its one of the most important things when a patient meets you for the first time..

[@migsan7030]

great video

[@rodrigo7531000]

Thank you.

[@willshaw4110]

Hi Antonio, great video. I've started to wear Cravats recently and as a younger man, want to ensure I'm not making any mistakes. I just wondered if you'd consider doing a video on this. Best wishes, Will.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Good idea!

[@liverbirdxoxo1984]

im a woman from liverpool england n i love all ur tips!... its made me decide to invest in a real leather backpack for uni rather than keep buying cheap ones that dont last! thank u!
