Can I wear this navy suit for war?

[@Meharprt13]

Jon Arbuckle hahaha! Comment established 😂😂😂

[@thedandywarhol5729]

@@Meharprt13 a very fine establishment indeed!🤣🤣🤣

[@nowadazeband]

I enjoy the clips because they help me know what not to wear, and improve my personal style

[@Lucy-wi4ny]

Yes but how do I wear a navy suit for war?

[@craiggoodson8314]

This should be 6 ways to wear a navy suit with number 1 being a navy suit for war

Not a lot of people know about this well established joke

how to be a stylist: make outrageous combinations

[@danielhakimi]

Sneakers and a suit are pretty much always wrong, unless Mr. Porter wants to record you.

[@valeriocesarini5661]

How to be a stylist: just throw everything you come across under a navy suit and call it style

[@KunaiKrazy]

​@@danielhakimiAre you THE DanHakimi guy from Reddit?

[@jameboyy]

If only that suit jacket fitted him...

[@jameboyy]

I think that it CAN be pulled off, but most of the time it looks SUPER scruffy!

[@MelvinKoopmans]

Suit doesn't fit indeed. Also sneakers with a suit, in his case, ruin the look

[@connorsmith713]

Sneakers with a suit don't do it for me, but if ever it's work, it's on him with that look. My complaint is that the jacket is a bit too short and a bit too wide. I understand that short jackets is a trend, and the suit jacket isn't really too wide. But it's too wide for the length. If a jacket is going to be so short, it has to be a bit tighter for me, or else the bottom of it flares out a bit too much.

[@jameboyy]

Connor Moir well established comment

[@fire5736]

Just wondering what's the tune in the background? Very catchy.

[@carlyslem]

Elegant and classy! Amazing combinations for some really outstanding looks

[@funkahontas]

Turtle neck with a blazer/suit makes you look so 90's.

[@moses_irl]

ruben alejandro You can't deny that it's a good look though.

[@Rednospunk]

Steve McQueen disagrees.

[@MrIcantseemyfeet]

„Creative meeting looks bad,diggin the „suited&booted“ and „buttoned up“ but why is he using sneakers with the suit?... i dont like it ..

[@markfrazier7442]

The turtleneck also looks 50s, 60s, 70's, 80s, 00s, in other words it's classic.

[@Anti-Taxxer]

1st look: the shirt is too loud, but the outfit is ok overall 2nd look: not too sure about that one... 3rd look: it's great, but I wouldn't wear sneakers with a suit 4th look: perfect! that's the epitome of formality and elegance in that suit 5th look: like it! the pocket square ads a nice flash of color and the turtle neck makes it perfect for a weekend retreat in a luxurious cabin in the woods

[@gustavelauffer3568]

Haroon Jamshed Dude what? You can wear turtleneck sweaters with suits. It looks great

[@Dadee3]

You fucked up the 1st outfit by showing the white t-shirt underneath. Button that shirt all the way up, man!!!!

[@spasticplastic]

first thing I noticed too!

[@Dadee3]

wackamoleremix yup

[@carlyslem]

I agree. I also think the overall concept of these looks is refreshing and gives a modern edge on classic menswear.

[@philnichel333]

I enjoy these videos keep making them

[@markanthony4546]

Honestly probably the most wearable of all of this dudes styles.

[@denim6652]

Mr Porter needs to replace this dude. HE IS SOOOOOO BORING!!! AND the suit? How tall is this model? 7FT? Suit looks so short on him!!! and the white T-shirt underwear in look 1 just RUINS it..

[@rochakjain022]

Class on a different level. Clean!

[@ZoryaDanis]

Flawless as always!

[@Lommy9999]

The best taste as you would always expect from MP. And the model is yum

[@localfox1000]

looks pretty good. modern dressed down ways to wear suits. love the first look with the pinkish check shirt

[@justintorrexchannel]

1.- Not so bad 2.- Horrid 3.- Revolting 4.- Beautiful 5.- Almost bad

[@danielef.mancinetti2030]

I'm so in love with Dan May!

[@dang8961]

Trainers and a suit?

[@KINGLADUDU]

Did you establish if its a navy suit for war

[@DTSTANGO]

#2,4 and 5 are awesome styles

[@billionaireboy1994]

please do more of these

[@alazar7685]

what's the song? anyone thanks!

[@MrTerryferns]

What’s the soundtrack playing in the background? Sets the perfect mood...

[@Meghnaaad]

Turtleneck look was the best

[@SirGeorgioRichy]

Create more videos please for this segment

[@linkinduck94]

omg, why is that jacket so short.?

[@xorcst]

linkinduck94 I think it's a blazer instead of a suit jacket. Some blazers are made short. having said that, the sleeves are too short.

[@Surgequake7]

Flawless Formality is my favourite.

[@Kevinjandro]

I miss your video's where have you been :-(

[@TXchadTX]

Good for a creative profession.....perhaps.. But if you're in sales you won't be selling jack *&%^ wearing tennis shoes with a suit.

[@deanchristensen4783]

if he wanted to have a relax yet professional look, wear loafers or another style of slip on shoes. he will look fitting yet comfortable.

[@swicheroo1]

Depends upon your sales and your location. I live in Los Angeles. You could totally wear nice tennis shoes with a suit...and still sell a script or a movie for a million dollars. BTW: You can also buy really expensive casual tennis shoes that will run you 500-750 dollars. I did this weekend...

[@miguelibaceta5800]

hope these work on me...

[@jasminderpinder]

I'd have used the polka dot pocket square in look #4. I think the roll neck is too high in look #5, almost resembling a neck brace or one of those ethnic neck-stretchers. None of these looks grab me (and I wear a lot of navy suits in many ways), but I still look forward to and appreciate this series.

[@scenttimes]

Lovely video though I think more dress shoes options would have been a +.

[@DaNormalMan]

Love it! Keep this series until the end of time

[@andrewso781]

Americans tend to wear t-shirts underneath proper shirts; Europeans tend to eschew the tee. As for the "boxy" shape of the jacket, the shoulder is more structured which is based upon preference, not necessarily upon rule. The waist can easily be nipped by a tailor.

[@sreenivasaprasad1171]

Five ways to wear is the best series of all the porter's videos. I like them very much. Make more of them.

[@monghewc8316]

Can i borrow all of that 😁😁

[@MegaSantos1991]

Tis not possible that in MR PORTER's huge wardrobe of both clothes and models, that this match was the closest. I felt the same way after watching the video. This one did not deliver the smashing & splendid entertainment and education that the others always do. I respect and adore MR PORTER, but constructive criticism is far from a bad gesture.

[@Lommy9999]

This model is too good looking... hurts my eyes

[@mcnuonuo]

The suit doesn't fit. . .

[@iisoccer4everii]

maybe its just me but his voice reminds me of an older stewie griffin

[@viridianroad]

5 ways, but didn't mention a navy suit for war once. SAD!

[@RussoCri1]

Buttoned Up :)

[@simongaywanjala598]

That first shirt’s collar is too big on him 🤣

[@Harrypotterxx2]

The undershirt showing in the first one ruined it. The trainers in the third one was too casual for that outfit, it would've worked if he was wearing chinos with a navy blazer and dark wash jeans.

[@SACREDFlRE]

The pocket square is not optional. It's mandatory, especially without a tie.

[@tashfix]

I still don't get the whole New Balance sneaker craze, is it just me?

[@Paul-dz7xi]

The jacket is too fucking small for him. He needs a 40R or 40L, they got him in a 38R LOL

[@sapience223]

sorry no brown in town

[@nikosioannou7100]

The stylist's shirt is over-sized. Especially in the middle area!!!

[@GigglingDickhead]

I started out skeptical, then by the time the sneakers arrived I was throwing shit at my monitor. Mr Porter, expect an invoice to compensate me for my smashed screen.

[@albarleta2511]

Frank Underwood watched this in Season 4.

[@Trolletn1]

Thank you for this video! Now I know 5 ways not to wear a navy suit:)

[@rudymatheson1415]

[@gregs570]

#6 for war.

[@nbennett1000]

i agree but it's called "five ways to wear", not "the only five ways to wear"

[@paulielciu]

Read the comments before watching the video. Was not expecting to be this bad. It's bad! Not even I, buying from trift shop, do not have a suit that off!

[@prayforafrica]

Doesn't work for me

[@aikalabe7719]

Ways 1-5: for war

[@Dimasstywan]

why so many haters ? i think that these looks are very sharp looking clean and great, we have our own preferences but what clothes that u guys usually wear? i'm very concern about ur tastes

[@Disinf3ctant]

Those horrible valentinos ruin the whole silhouette. Its far too sporty of a shoe shape. The jacket is too small. The first shirt is just weird.

[@blackspear2010]

stopped watching after the first outfit, the suit was too small and i guess i'm just old fashioned (but I'm only young) but i like the classic Man's look not this stuff. But thats just me!

[@Yrmigsen666]

You would probably go to a tailor after you get a suit from mrporter.com (the same way you would tailor a suit you buy in the store to fit that extra perfect). These are expensive garments and I bet mrporter.com sells them afterwards so thats probably why they don´t customize them for the videos as they would be useless to sell (they´ll lose money)

[@donaldtunson2917]

SLEEVES ARE TOO SHORT ON JACKET AND WEAR A V NECK TEE SHIRT

[@nirinarakotozafy8931]

sneaker with a suit makes you look so 2010's.

[@nayrgnilsog5438]

I hope you didn't get a heart attack after you saw a model being dressed by someone else. And I liked the monk strap shoes, so you forgot to write "In my opinion" before starting you criticizing. Because it's not a FACT that they are horrible, it's just your opinion.

[@Lostbastard]

it's easy to pull this off when you look like this

[@anthonybell6285]

Tennis shoes with a suit have always been rule number 1 for my fashion rules. These combinations are shit man. What the hell are you doing!?

[@peskypossum58]

Why can't the model dress himself?

[@ahmersoomro1738]

last two looks are definitely for me, didn't like the sneaker/ trainer look mate, come' on

[@waltersickinger1499]

Perhaps you should start with a suit that actually fits.

[@9kigs]

dude that guy is a model... Do one for us fat guys.. like 6 feet and 290 pounds or 135 kilos fat.... please .....

[@markuseriksson8311]

+9kigs lol you should try to get healthy instead

[@colegurnett7684]

5 ways to wear a turtleneck?

[@nakedmambo]

No,

[@kurjan1]

Lapels way too narrow...

[@qarhsi]

Only outfits 4 and 5 were nice. But the fit has long way to go...

[@TheR4C]

2. for a summer wedding... really? jesus christ what happened to the poor fellow? did he fell on his head?

[@mrfreak235]

cool idea but I didn't like the styles

[@qaribabbassoomro2432]

i have only one word. 'eww' LOL. he should follow RMRS OR ALPHAM himself to learn more about Fashion. Only the 4th outfit made sense.

[@Harrypotterxx2]

Please, no sneakers.

[@aleksijevujovic7262]

Only the 4th one looks ok-ish, the rest is garbage

[@Macbille]

those sneakers are just dumb

[@mandeepbaweja3021]

Hahaha offcourse!

[@tonkxic]

Why the hell does this guy kiss his teeth so much?

[@jabari189684]

Video kinda sucked

[@Foretelling]

They're all terrible. If I ever saw someone wearing trainers with a suit I'd ask them to leave.

[@jjfalk]

Sorry but this stylist is losing some credit here... Hope the next issue takes it back up a notch..

[@waltersickinger263]

The suit doesn't fit...both the jacket and the sleeves are much too short. The collar gapes....etc etc etc...The outfits themselves are ridiculous. If this is the best you can do ...find another job.

[@PMAB8]

First look absolutely rubbish and tasteless. Second look so so Third look aight Fourth look okay Fifth look elegant

[@KishManz]

Except for No.3&4, this was an awful video! The stylist got it all wrong!

[@deceivingthedeceiver]

a man should never wear sneakers/trainers

[@erosramasotti1080]

This is just simply horrible. The short sleeves and sneakers just ruins it.

[@MrDanielWP]

1. The first outfit is awful. Hate everything, but the suit. 2. The shoes are terrible in almost every example. I cannot imagine wearing 4 of the 5 shoes with that suit.

[@NeoSoulJoe]

So far, the worst out of the series.
