"It's not uncomfortable. It's unfamiliar" - Literally the best advice to boost my confidence I've heard in a long time. Bravo, Antonio!

[@gabriellaure3112]

1. Be encouraged to be the best dressed. Don’t be shy to draw attention! 2. Play to your strengths. What outfits work specifically with your body type? What do you like about your body? Show it. 3. Pay attention to detail. e.g. different fabrics and different patterns, accessories 4. Know about different fabric options and the corresponding effect. 5. Use colors but don’t misuse them! Maybe leave popping colors for accessories. 6. Build your fashion sense. Get inspired! You can learn it.

LOLD at "You want to look large and in charge, NOT fat and sloppy." RMRS is my new favorite channel. I picked up some new items over the weekend, and I've already gotten compliments. Thanks Antonio!!

[@nfsfreak951]

in my opinion and from my experience as long as you are slim everything on earth will look good on you overall. but combining a slim body and a nice shirt usually puts you on a next level.

[@Pikawarps]

I’m slim but for my entire life have worn excessively large clothing, so i found the exception to your rule haha. (Size s-m, I’ve always worn Larges since i was a teenager)

[@allezxander1232]

Body type matters IMMENSELY in fashion. You always need to think to yourself what body type a piece of clothing was made for before you buy it, especially online.

[@nfsfreak951]

@@allezxander1232 thats a good point though. for me armani works wonder for example. wide muscular shoulders and arms but relative slim belt area

[@TheCaveJunkie]

As someone that used to be fat and is now slim that's definitely true

[@Pikawarps]

@@meiko_kaji the point of the original comment was definitely not that everything looks great on you, the point was that ‘anything can look good overall’ and the exception that proves the rule is me being in oversized clothes. I will be looking my best as soon as i figure out what size i am, still have no idea lol.

[@dgunn4408]

#8 is a real thing. I very often find courage through the rich tradition of a garment. Very good point.

[@VanillaCoke1956]

Been living in Japan for a while and the average person has such a high fashion sense compared to where I am from that I had to completely throw out my wardrobe and I am now wearing stuff I never would have thought of wearing. Brown coat with a red mockneck paired with black chinos and I've already gotten more stares and compliments than in my entire life before that... Just goes to show that inspiration and going for something new is worth it. Even if it turns out badly and you have to scrap the outfit, at least you tried. This goes for most areas in life.

[@Ichigoeki]

Same here, but I'm taking it to where I want to go. Meaning I now have two cloaks and a few vests instead of regular jackets. 😁 (I'm from Finland, and even Hokkaido's winters don't get cold enough for me to comfortably wear both a jacket and something nice underneath it) Some fitting wool sweaters too, just for good measure.

[@Buleq147]

Couldn't agree more on the inspiration point. What happens is basically you start with a fixed outfit (for example one of Bonds looks) but with with you'll try different shoes, different colors of the garment, different textures etc. and with time your personal style is developed because you try (and withou fear!) different stuff. I think this the only way to develop personal. You cannot just sit and create it ona a spot. For example when I started to get more into menswear I was inspired by some old photos of the pilots from the 30's and 40's - loved the combination of those cool leather jakcets with wool flannel trousers and two-sided silk-wool scarfs. So when I assembled this look then I started to mix and match those garments with other elements of my wordrobe and this is how this journey started. Best wishes Antonio, hope you agree with my thoughts!

[@vicspeed1068]

One of the things holding me back from dressing up a bit is my wife. She dresses business casual for work and often times is ready to change to more comfy/chill attire once home. This leads to hoodies, fleece and jeans when we run errands or grab dinner. Occasionally I've tried to nicely and indescretly suggest better dress for an outing but it rarely works. I don't want to wear a Sport coat, Jeans and wingtips while she's rocking a college hoodie, jeans and Brooks... IDK! Great Video and tips! I've learned so much from RMRS!

[@xriz1211]

Wear what you want to even if she goes out with a hoodie, she might get the hint and simply pick an outfit that pairs nicely with yours. Worth a try.

[@williamfoxx]

I love how you include a bit of history in your videos

[@karlr750]

Antonio, I heard an interesting take on "playing to your strengths" that has affected my choice in styles. To put it simply, "double down." Growing up, I was always the skinny, nerdy, geeky kid. I was very self-conscious and insecure about that, which drove a lot of my decisions (especially involving my clothing) throughout life. However, a little over a decade ago, OkCupid posted an article where they tried to determine why some less attractive men and women did better on their dating site than more attractive peers. To simplify their findings, if you *play up* traits that some people like and other people hate (for me, that's thin and nerdy; for others it might be tattoos and piercings), you do much better at dating. I wasn't able to benefit from the article (since I was already dating my wife), but I could recognize that *every* woman I had ever been on 3+ dates with was *attracted* to thin and/or nerdy men. Therefore, my dating life would have been much easier if I had just *doubled down* on those two traits. Currently, instead of wearing clothes that disguise how thin I am, I'll often wear clothes that reinforce that trait (dark colors, vertical stripes). Instead of trying to look less nerdy, I've started going for a "professor" look (glasses with heavier frames, tweed jackets). Even professionally, if I show up at a meeting, I'm the *numbers* guy. I'll actually build my credibility with the client if I look the part. (I look like "the numbers guy" just because of the way God/genetics structured my face, but I can *double down* using wardrobe and accessories.)

[@Chezarcat]

That is such a great way of looking at it. I'm one of those women, who like thin nerdy guys (and my husband fits this description). I'll show him this comment to maybe persuade him to try this out🙂

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

It was really difficult transitioning from the college fashion sense into manhood. I'm 42 and caught myself wearing gym shoes with jeans, old ass shirts(yes, with holes) and I literally didn't own more than one or two collared shirts. This was well into my 30's!

[@oliverfox8059]

James Bond in Spectre, my favorite Bond movie of all times is also one of the most stylish. After watching it for the first time, I went out and bought a dark blue polo shirt and put on my khaki pants and went out to the streets, trying to reproduce the Bond look in Morocco, and, to my surprise, I received whistles from two teenage girls and a woman told me I looked great, and I was at the moment a 43 years old man! So guys, find the Bond outfit that goes the best for you.

[@zhhrah]

1. No courage to deal with attention 2. Not paying to your strengths 3. Not paying attention to style details 4. Not knowing different fabric options 5. Misuse of colors 6. Not experimenting 7. No fashion sense 8. Not knowing your history 9. Not exercising your options

[@JonathanNelson-nelsonj3]

I had a coworker once tell me I was making everyone else look bad with how I dressed. I took that as a win, but it was tempered by the fact that many of my coworkers looked like they had just rolled out of bed and into the office. I told him if I was making him look bad (I was only wearing a button down shirt, grey slacks, and cheap brown leather shoes) he should step up his game. He didn't.

[@mr.s.7081]

To practice wearing something around the house -- you said that in another video that I watched a couple of years ago, then in regards to wearing a suit if you're not used to it -- is really good advice!

Love the jacket you're wearing. I want to get one kind of like that with checks and a texture. You know, like a Shetland Tweed perhaps? Something that looks tailored, yet outdoorsy. I really love that look.

[@joshuasmith1877]

Agree! That green blazer is great!

[@alwayspooh1588]

Antonio, you are right, our society does not really want men to dress that well. Like Jordan Peterson said: we dress like oversized children! Hoodies, character T-shirts, sweatpants/jogging bottoms. Clothes that are the hallmarks of children's clothes shops! Antonio, you make me want to dress better!

[@instantsiv]

Jordan “how do you do fellow kids” Peterson

@@TheSultan1470 He went viral from a debate where he got called out for preaching religion yet he couldn’t/wouldn’t share his beliefs. I then saw a video of his where he was talking to “working class people” and he gave off that same vibe. I commented questioning if he’s working class and someone mentioned that Jordan had a working class friend growing up. Jordan is that meme. He’s undercover, studying you while pretending to be your peer. It’s quite obvious since his training is studying your mind fellow -kids- -Christian- -working class- (whatever you class you are)

[@alwayspooh1588]

@Moshin Rafsanjani True, but is it not nice to dress nicely? To wear a shirt and a jacket rather than sweatpants and Tee shirts?? Dressing nicely can be empowering, and will attract compliments.

[@josephsnogren5300]

A lot of this is such great advice. Be brave enough to standout and be unique, experiment with your look and options, look at movies and shows to find looks that you like and try to do something similar. I am a much more colorful dresser. Gray shirt, navy vest, gray pants, navy and blue socks, suede navy loafers, gray and blue cardigan, and then a red tie to give it a pop, etc. I love mixing and matching my things, which makes my fashion hobby kind of akin to collecting; ie, need this color shoes to go with that color shirt, etc. It makes it fun. And I get lots of compliments on my outfits and my color coordination.

Maybe go for something understated like a short sword. A two handed Zweihänder slung over the shoulder would just be too flashy.

zip up hoodies. Popular with dorks who emphasize comfort above all else

[@andrewdockrill]

I have a very pale complexion little to no tan or color, so I find I'm very limited with the more bold colors.

[@karlr750]

I have a similar complexion, but I've found a few workarounds. First, I regularly wear shirts in burgundy, eggplant, forest green, and some muted shades, which come across as being more "colorful" than blues and browns. Second, as Antonio mentioned, I'll sometimes use small pops of brighter colors in my accessories. I like doing that with pocket squares. I've also done it with some of my watches (using a colorful watch face, bezel, or strap). Just about any accessory will work. Third, I'll wear brighter colors further away from my face. For example, on a recent warm day, I wore a charcoal shirt, *lilac* linen shorts, and gray minimal sneakers. The colorful shorts made an otherwise boring outfit a lot more interesting.

[@Daddynixterdrums]

Between watching Antonio’s videos, and also viewing/listening to Courtney Ryan’s videos… I’ve flipped my entire wardrobe lol. I utilize chains, bracelets, watches, hardly any hats at all. Just style my hair and facial hair. Wear white sneakers or coordinated kicks more often. Prefer collared shirts/polos, or just plain t shirts with no graphics. I actually deter from my older graphic t’s now. I do have colorful creative hoodies but I’ve leaned more into sweaters, cardigans, jackets, etc. Depends on what I’m feeling for sure… but long gone are my days of the typical dad look… still a dad. But I can absolutely look and feel so much better 👌🏽

[@RileyGoss99]

Whenever it’s a day at school when I can have my own clothes and not uniform my mission is to look 1000x better than anyone else in the school. Last time it happened I was in a navy peacoat, dark blue trousers, grey wool jumper and a light blue shirt. And I looked way better than everyone else who looked to me pretty ‘trampy’. Im still finding better ways to dress as well.
