@@alimuzhussain8394 What is wrong with a button down collar? I like them.

[@MichealGumbert]

I went to college and then lived in what is considered an "old-money" town and the one thing that I noticed about the place was the comfort that people seemed to have about dressing up. So when I really started to pay attention to that I noticed that families would have their children dressed up for more than just special occasions to they grew up being comfortable in nice classically stylish clothing but additionally they saw not only adults dressed that way but their friends as well. True old-money people are just comfortable being dressed up and while I know to a degree it does show a certain status in life, the one's I've meant are less concerned about showing that status and more concerned about being respectful of the world by looking good while in it.

[@isaakhyde8327]

Yeah, if you have self-respect and respect for others, it's always a great day to dress up; that's how I've always looked at it, at least. If you only dress well when it's a special occasion you're essentially communicating to others (and also yourself) that you're basically just an accessory of the circumstance, rather than the one creating it, so to speak.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

As a woman, I think this channel has the best advice for dressing men in a way that’s attractive to us women. Don’t try to look trendy, try to look classic, elegant and timeless! Quality fabrics and fit are high priority, too.

[@GringoAzteco]

Not sure what country you’re in but in the 🇺🇸 this is decidedly NOT the norm anymore. There are pockets of class & sophistication still to be found here and there, but for the most part, TikTok culture has obliterated any appreciation of subtlety and elegance in fashion; it’s pure designer logos 24/7 and that’s what the ladies wanna see. Most men below the age of 50 who dressed as you wish would be mocked by their female peers, sadly. It’s tragic how much standards have declined but it is a sign of the times 🙃

[@scrateshooter]

Not true.

[@sharkpyro93]

@@GringoAzteco same in west europe, if you don't dress expensive designer t shirts, coats, hiped sneakers shoes and whatnot you can say goodbye to girls, this apply for people in their 30s too

[@maxcorder2211]

@@GringoAzteco Just maybe those are not the “peers” you are interested in attracting. If you are in business, you are seeking to meet, impress and ultimately do business with senior executives and decision-makers. These are not trendy men and women. I recall many years ago the company I worked for opened an office in a medium sized city about 2 hours from headquarters. We sent one of our best men to head the office. He joined the top country club and bought a house in an exclusive and expensive area. After getting established for about a year, he hosted a cocktail party and dinner for around 25 couples from the city. Some of them were owners and executives of successful companies he had acquired as clients of our firm and others were prospective clients. Myself, and a few senior people from headquarters were attending as well. When the big evening came, he had told the invitees that our CEO and his wife would be coming, so the locals were prepared to be impressed. At the appointed time, our CEO drove up to the front of the club, and people came out to greet him. Was he in a chauffeured limo? No. A Mercedes? No. He and his wife arrived in a 10 year old European station wagon, but were dressed very well, he in a suit and her elegantly for the occasion. Now, keep in mind that this couple were extremely wealthy, due to multi-generational wealth. He could buy the companies of any person there. Why did he drive the station wagon when he had more expensive cars available? To make a statement; “I don’t need to impress you in that way. You should already know who I am if you are smart. And, my company is solid and conservative. We practice what we preach. If you choose to do business with us, we will treat you the same”. And it worked.

[@shahjahonsaidmurodov2086]

I have been using the tips and have been getting compliments daily from my friends. At the end of the day, timeless style stands out in its own way and anyone can appreciate it. I disagree that tiktok and the ultra modernised world has removed its appeal, but you are right in terms of the fact that these factors have decreased people's willingness to put energy and time into the old money aesthetic. In essence, there is less effort but there is more appreciation. If less and less people wear timeless pieces, those who do will be more defined and their style will be more appreciated. However most importantly, don't listen to the trends of the public, wear what you look good in and feel confident in. I wish us all success.

[@phillyboy1813]

Yes, at 69, I still do. My pop taught me how to dress, mom taught me why to dress, great combo. Pop was wearing custom silk suits in the 50’s, always had on a tie and a pocket silk. I like to keep 2 custom made suits and 6 upper end men’s stores suits, I also keep 6 custom dress shirts along with 6 store bought. Pop taught me to always wear what makes me comfortable, never worry about being over dressed. Before I retired, I worked for a Company where the corporate meetings were a joke with how people dressed. My first year, I showed up in suits, slacks and Blazers and an after 6 white jacket and black tux pants for the awards dinner. The next year, almost 50% of the men now wore suits with ties and by the 3rd year, it was close to 75%, and many were now the young bucks. I was happy to teach and they were willing to learn.

[@user-ln6tg5bm3w]

My mother is a professional chef who only works with respectable Italian families, her last job, before retiring, was as one of the Italian "mafia" lawyers. After the man of the family passed away, he left a closet of unworn high-quality clothing and shoes they planned to get rid of. Even though I am financially successful, I could not bare the fact of such waste and requested to send me those pieces. I must say it was a wonderful and unique experience. As a man in my late 20s, I never had a chance to see how men of the last century were choosing their style.

[@bighands69]

Styles used to be chosen in terms of natural choice. There are things that humans are capable of judging as truth. Every man knows what a beautiful women looks like or what a beautiful car looks like or a pretty flower. Men know what these things are by instinct and do not need to be told or taught what such things are. You will know that baggy out of shape clothing is inferior to clothing that has a good natural human form to it. It is why you can look at some avant garde clothing from the 1950s or 1990s and know that they are both crappy looking.

[@verycd]

@@bighands69 I consider all working families, honest people, respectable.

[@jasonmitchell432]

I’ve in my 50s now, and have been dressing this way since high school. Nobody is ever going to fault you for wearing a Brooks Brothers button down and khakis to work. V-neck sweaters never go totally out of style. I have knit ties my Dad wore at Yale in the 1950s that came around again when I was in high school in the 80s, and have made appearances again since then. Beyond Brooks Brothers, there are other brands that hold their value, and are expensive but not prohibitively so. I’d rather have three Hermes ties than thirty ties from Dillards. I bought a Joseph Abboud blazer in my 20s that I wore for more than twenty years. Bottom line: quality and good taste at the start save money and embarrassment all the way through.

[@thejanssen6030]

​@ZeroTheHero V necks are as feminine as unbuttoning the 2nd button on your shirt. Vertical vs horizontal lines isn't an advanced concept in men's fashion. It's not just a coincidence that most other neck lines in men's fashion are v'd. Maturing to v necks is only slightly more advanced than moving past wearing white briefs.

This is exactly how my father taught me to dress. Stick w classics. Neutral colors. Buy high quality and take care of it. You're right, a high quality, well-tailored suit is about as comfortable as anything you've ever put on.

[@Bear_Arms]

If you think a suit can ever be as comfortable as a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, you're nuts. There is a reason why so few wealthy men today wear suits on a regular basis, unless their jobs require it. I'm worth multiple 7 figures, and I can't remember the last time I wore a suit. I may wear a sports jacket with a pair of jeans, but I'll only wear a suit when I absolutely have to. If a person has to wear a suit to work today, they're more likely to be providing services to a wealthy person than be wealthy themselves.

[@ct00001]

@@Bear_Arms well ive had suits that were more comfortable than any jeans ive ever had. But it's also just preference. I rarely wear suits either. They're just not appropriate in as many situations and I'd rather spill beer on a $8 tshirt.

[@NeilSearle]

@@Bear_Arms The problem with your viewpoint is that you are so far beyond the need for anyone to look at what you wear to determine your worth that your viewpoint is by default irrelevant. For the rest of us the point stands that to be comfortable in a suit is important as it allows us to show our status in a comfortable manner.

[@abhimawa1]

The old money rules that I know is to attract the least attention with the least hassle (maintenance, reliability, timeless; that’s why they go with tried&true idea) and maximum comfort. Unless you’re the crème de la crème type, it is advisable to blend in nicely & respectably. As for fit, the best thing we can do is to maintain our ideal physique. Having said that, mindful lifestyle (eating, exercise, hygiene) is necessary. Good video btw, Antonio! 👌

[@survivalSC]

There is nothing better then an Italian custom suit or sports coat that is tailored to you. When you wear it you know it’s you at your best. Everyone needs that 1 power suite that says I have entered the room

[@ruwanfernando1903]

This was such a great video Antonio. I look forward to these so much. Not having any surviving male relatives, you've become something of a sage uncle to me and I value the work you put in to make us all a bit better each day. Just wanted to say a big thank you.

[@sams3015]

I’m 31 & I’ve been dressing this way since my late teens. I always found it sort of grounding. I never had a huge budget but looked for high quality pieces in sales. I rarely buy high street now. I used to get called dull (in terms of style) by some but I guess jokes on them. I still have clothes from my early 20s

[@HMMarcon]

Great video as usual, Antonio! In the last few years I moved countries and now I'm starting on a sartorial path. I started with a minimal cheap set to live off (some cheap online Made to measure shirts and trousers). Now I'm upgrading it to high quality items and it makes a huge difference and very happy I did not commit to the fast-fashion at any point (they don't seem to fit me anyway). I also noticed a sharp improvement in productivity since I started dressing up. Each day I feel more comfortable in what I wear and I feel it expresses who I am. Keep up the great work, we all love to watch and learn!

[@sprezzatura8755]

Another advantage to classic style is that your attire is not a distraction. The focus is on you. People should remember you. Not what you are wearing. Even if they pick up on your style subconsciously. Think of your style as the frame surrounding a great painting. Yes the frame should be suitable and dignified, but the focus is on the painting. I detest the current trend of some people to dress like cartoon characters. Sadly it is a byproduct of the attention economy.

[@gergemall]

I’m in my sixties and have always loved the “old money look “ that I review to as the classic look . Quality materials . Brookes Brothers . Ralph Lauren etc . I find deals and sometimes splurge . I have been very sick for three years and lost too much weight. I finally went out a month ago and visited my favorite men’s stores to purchase a new wonderful wardrobe to feel better with clothes that fit. That’s when I found you Antonio . I thank you so much for helping me as I make my comeback. I’m still in Physical Therapy and going to start swimming and getting my muscle tones back’ ❤ love the shoes too ‘.’

[@ciAMkia]

You and I are cut from the same cloth. As a kid, the classic style of dressing was demonstrated by my dad and most of the men in our neighborhood. My look was the same as theirs, though I wore jeans with my Brooke Brothers navy sports coats and Sanders and Sanders chukka bootz. Thanks to Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, and a few others in the 60s and 70s. My dad "shared" some of his clothes with me, while he was out of town. LOL, with my hustle in high school or wasn't long before I had a decent sized wardrobe. Not bad for a 15 y/o, I had the aforementioned chukka boots, and penny loafers, my dad wore wingtips a lot and I snagged a pair on sale at a local department store, and after shining my dad's shoes on Sunday night for about a decade, I'd say and a few pairs of my shoes to the shine line. I'm hanging on to my tires, they've been around longer than I've been here, so ... I agree with your watch suggestions. For me, I received an Omega Seamaster watch from my wife for a recent birthday. It's not a big watch and fits my casual style well. It's silver and I'm a silver, never gold, kind of person, which is why I like silver cars.

[@jasonvoorhees895]

What you said about Thrift Stores...just GO! The ones in or near higher income neighborhoods generally have better stuff. This winter, I got 3 freaking BEAUTIFUL (and timeless) coats, and enough shoes that if I stop now, I still don't have to buy shoes for a few years. The key is that I stop into the store (for me, Veterans of America) at least once per week. By doing this, I can spot the new donations quickly. I know the menswear section so well that it only takes me about 10 minutes to scan it all, and I buy ONLY high-quality pieces that are in like-new condition. Sure, it's true that sometimes I leave empty handed, but I've found it's worth it.

[@thehighlander3395]

These clothes are classics in men's attire -- one will never go wrong with any of these pieces because they have always remained stylish. As Ralph Lauren would say, style over fashion. The key theme is understated elegance and comfort within a strict colour palette. As to shoes, the captoe is the most formal -- you will typically see mostly black captoes in the City of London, one of the old world hubs of finance where these clothes are primarily worn.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Antonio, I’ve noticed over the last decade or so that many European men are adding a soft, loose, silk scarf in subtle, manly colors to their plain, more casual outfits. I like this so much better than wearing nothing around the neck with two very plain, solid-color separates, like a sweater and slacks. For occasions where a tie, my preference, might feel too dressy, I recommend that men try this alternative. It’s so much more interesting than, say, just a plain navy sweater and gray trousers, and the colors in the scarf can help tie the colors of the separates together, too. I also really like a white, or other flattering, light color, shirt collar and cuffs showing from under a sweater, that, too adds interest and polish. A scarf wrapped around the neck can also cover chest hair, which can be a good idea. What’s your opinion on this?

[@anthonypetrozzelli5429]

Antonio, excellent video! I am 65 years old and love the old money look. I grew up in Boston, so I love the Ivy League look. I have several herringbone sports coats in my wardrobe, as well as the classic New England penny loafers. I love the white and blue Oxford shirts. It's getting harder to find this look, as society has gone more causal. I have gotten several complaints about my suits and sports coats. I have even young men like the look.

[@bboross]

Do you mean compliments, not complaints?

[@mannyb7949]

Dressing old money is essentially dressing the way our fathers used do, time-tested styles, classic, tasteful, pleasant to the eye. They spent in quality without breaking the bank but without going cheap either.

[@Sandalwoodrk]

The old money look may not fit me very well, but the points from this video that are truly timeless are Fit is king and Take good care of your clothes Clothes can last a lifetime but only if you treat them like they're gonna be with you for the rest of your life

[@ytano5782]

My oldest piece of clothing is a Coffee Racer leather jacket from my grandpa. The slight wear makes it perfect for a rugged look in combination with jeans and boots.

[@djtommykeys]

Thanks for the video. In the late 1960's I went to prep school with kids who were heirs to hotel chains, manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies. My father was a local businessman but we lived well enough to hang out in any circle. I agree with a lot of what you said. The old money didn't dress to impress they dressed from family tradition. They were also more likely to have a ten year old Audi or Volvo in the garage than a flashy new car. They didn't live to impress. They probably never thought about it but the way they were taught was classic and it showed. I became comfortable in their world and the nonchalance of style sort of grew into my bones. Speaking of thrift shops I scored big time at a 2nd hand store in Marin County. I walked out with a Brooks Brothers and Land's End wardrobe which lasted me for years. My next girlfriend once remarked she knew she had someone special when she saw the labels in my clothes. She wanted me to take her shopping in New York. I just smiled. I still have the London Fog zippered fur liner trench coat.

I agree entirely with this video. Great tips indeed. There also a few that stood out to me, this is a style that I dabble with just about everyday and one of the main reasons is the wisdom behind it. It is often viewed as expensive and time consuming but after you get used to it, proves quite the opposite as it pays for itself.

[@thecapone45]

Because of it's usefulness for activities that take one out in foul weather, polar-fleece is the peculiar exception.

[@murmor6890]

I think (at least historically) the best "old money" style is actually seen on people that are not from old money since those people usually married the aesthetics with some flashiness. That mix of classic style with a slight seasoning of showing off is imo the best. Imo this is also why the peaky blinders style is so popular, since it portrays that type of working class breaking into old money world.

Amazing video. Love this kind of stuff. Old money done right can send a message of generational focus and compassion. This is a great watch for Spring! Everyone should have some timeless hobbies like penmanship, fountain pen collecting, cooking or even something with tech like photo editing. These things are all fun. By the way, think your color correction guy might do good making you a bit more saturated on video.

[@janlibourel7803]

As you so often do, Antonio, you hit it out of the park! I half-expected you were going to talk about "go to hell" New England prep wear like critter pants and Nantucket reds. As it turned out, I'd just emend the title from "old money style" to simply "Dressing Well." The only thing I might take exception to would be your urging guys to get fully canvased suit and sport coats in preference to fused (glued interlinings). Good advice...if you can afford it. It's been many years since I bought an off-the rack suit/sport coat, but I doubt if you're going to find much in the way of fully canvased garments in most clothing stores except for really high-dollar stuff like Oxxford, Brioni, Kiton and such, and most fellows are going to balk at those prices, especially young guys just starting their careers. I'll just say I had a number of fused blazers and sport coats that gave me many years of good service, and I thought I looked pretty good in them.

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

This is interesting. I’m English, and an old money style is actually surprisingly common (perhaps even, dare I say, fashionable) atm. We use a lot more browns and greens though. There’re also different ‘uniforms’ for different occasions: Everyday, formal, shooting/country, sailing, racing etc…It’s quite a deep and intriguing topic (of which I claim no expertise, but I’m learning). For sure, there are some amazing bargains to be found at thrift markets and specialist shops. Shame I’m a size 34, so I never find much😕 I love saving up to buy quality items though.

[@Searly255]

Old money in the UK has always been sort of fashionable. The green Barbour jacket and brown trousers or chinos look has never gone away. I love that you still see the old guys wearing the hunting or farming coats in town as well. Theres nothing more English than that green coat anda flat cap, preferably with border collie in tow 😂

[@davidroberts6108]

Dear Tom. Yank here. If you want to go down the American "old money" route back when we actually had an "Establishment" may I suggest you buy everything from the J. Press store in New York city and then wear the hell out of it for 30 years. Hope this helps. Regards, David

[@drewd9985]

The UK... Wippet in the north - working class. Wippet in the south - posh. Colour clashes... Burgundy trousers with brogues, a pink shirt and light blue cardigan, walking down King's Road, Chelsea = posh. In the city, one shouldn't wear the greens because that is countryside wear. Unless you're walking your dog, wearing it in the city would show that you don't have money for a city outfit and therefore not old money. In London, a lot of old money styles seem to have some basis in "posh" sports like polo, sailing, equestrian, skiing, etc.

[@TomDingleby]

I don't really do the urban thing as far as my style goes. My closet is a mix of western, workwear / Pacific Northwest, and high end outdoor hiking/bushcraft. I rarely have to get "dressed up" so western and workwear classics do it for my aesthetic. I elevate things to smart casual with sports jackets and chinos when needed. Nicer cowboy boots replace dress shoes for me. Basically all classic "rugged" menswear stuff.

[@bryanutility9609]

Sounds polished with the rugged style. One thing I can’t stand is seeing people in urban-public spaces dressed in hiking wear. People wear these north face jackets and hiking sneakers to church and it’s so goofy.

Urban wear is fake corporate trends. They never last the test of time and also tend to look garish.

These videos are always so aspirational. I always want to go out and buy a suit after I watch them. But it's just so impractical with my lifestyle. I work from home for a tech company, where jeans and t-shirt are perfectly acceptable. Heck, I wear slippers most days. When I'm not doing that, I'm taking care of 1-year-old. And I live on the West Coast, where the style is definitely less formal. So in terms of things that I choose to spend the money on, dress clothes just never reach the top priority, lol.

I just discovered this video. I grew up with this mindset. My father was a timber broker and he was 6’4. This video is great. Thank you for making. I love men.

Rather buy quality from a thrift store! 99% of my out fits (Hugo Boss, Charles Tyrwhitt - over $NZ400 each but I paid $2.00 each, Saint Laurent $800 shirt for $2) Even a top grain Black Capped Oxfords ($NZ470) but I paid $5 plus other garments and shoes, around $1-5 each, but each item is worth over $200 Like I've got two Harris Tweed Jackets, $2 each normal retail NZ $500-$600

Hello from Oregon, this was definitely nice to hear. I agree one hundred percent, I actually like to take my time to prepare my outfit for the golf course. Thank you for the review, new sub!

[@jimbo4014]

I always loved the Miami vice look, salmon pink suit with ankles showing and loafers.

[@NaNa-wj8tw]

Me too. Super cool but they had a designer hand pick that stuff. Going by your average punter today you could imagine where it would end up:)

[@erickgiovanniescobarareval3345]

A while since i have saw a video from RMRS... but what a great channel you are and nice guide... thank you!👍👍

[@leonardonotte6303]

Is ever a pleasure to watch your videos Antonio! Congratulations from Italy.

[@r2rinaday]

Excellent advice in this video. The advice is spot on. There is a lot of thought and detail put into this video. If you're watching this video be grateful for the thought and effort he has put into this video to help you.

[@advhawk6455]

Antonio, a word on eye-wear. Many men, like me, wear eyeglasses. Old money will always spend well on their eye-wear, whether it's eyeglasses that look like hand-made jewelry or classic sunglasses from Ray-Ban with prescription lenses. My wife works in the eye-care industry, and she can identify old money from others who walk through the door because cheap eye-wear stands out like a sore thumb. Buy once, cry once. Spend the money on expensive eyeglass frames once and get the lenses updated when your prescription changes. It's jewelry for your face, and it will get noticed much more than the watch on your wrist. Excellent video!

[@thewhitegarveytwg8912]

I bought a pair of Goliath IIIs. I get a lot of complements from both men and women in their 20s and 30s. I’m 51 and I think it’s kind of funny that they’re the ones who take note.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

I work in the eye care industry too. I don't know what she looks for to tell old money. But from personal experience most of them go for understated brands; Maui Jim, Randolph Engineering, Ray Ban, Warby Parker, Rag and Bone. Most of them don't go for flashy brands; Chanel, Cartier, etc...

[@Philipk65]

Great and really informative video Antonio. I got a lot of fantastic tips. I really like the classical timeless style and this was educational. 👍

[@yasintamer1547]

Wonderful summary of all the basics for having a timeless wardrobe....Brilliant

[@200mphBrian]

Really awesome video I'm a guy in my 50s and I didn't know some of this

[@user-hs7jm9dx3d]

Ive always since I was in my 20's been told I'm a old soul trapped in a younger mans body. Not till the last couple years did I really start upping my closet but, like you said it just makes you look good and feel good and honestly people notice it and comment. I feel like I need to add to the closet for sure because I have certain outfit's for certain occasions but, I feel like normal day out and about I look like a slob that is where I need help with how to not look like I'm trying to hard to fit into a age group that I just don't fit anymore

[@karthompson1280]

This wife of a very style-challenged husband and two preteen boys really appreciates this channel.

[@martytate]

More great content that will serve as a reference tool! My sons are coming into manhood and are starting to ask what to wear in certain situations. I send them your videos for ideas.

[@johnhamer7157]

Excellent advice, well done!

[@jonredd650]

I've trimmed my wardrobe down to less items but more quality!👍

[@Sourcream23]

I've always dressed pretty alright growing up, and once I got stationed in Italy my style evolved into more of an old money aesthetic but I'll mix it up every now and then with trendy streetwear since I'm in asia now. All in all this video resonates with me and nowadays it seems that people don't have style in general so its easy to stick out in a good way and get compliments.

[@SpaceRanger187]

The issue,is the heat..In the summer I'm I'm not in flip flops and in shoes.I feel like I'm gonna die

[@Sourcream23]

@SpaceRanger187 doesn't bother me but everyone is different, haha.

[@Reverend_Salem]

i plan on making most of my clothing for my new wardrobe. including some things that are a bit more "odd" like a (ideally silk, but probably stnthetic) brocade lined wool cape, a few full back vests (front and back made from the same material, and probably several types so i have some options for weather) some suit seperates, and a nice overcoat. i do need jeans and a tshirt/polo/flannel/button up. because i do woodworking, and i am not wearing a suit when building furniture, buying supplies, or delivering furniture.

[@markwalsh6714]

Great video thank you. I think the finishing touch to the look is the fragrance.

[@chrisxavier1848]

This is cool! Looking back, I guess I've always been dressing like this ...

[@leodoro8877]

Really good information, in the process of upgrading my wardrobe, thanks for your work.

[@sawyerramos3113]

I drop by good will all the time and find quality items for a fraction! Also, it is all in the confidence with which one carries one self.

[@Alandale45]

Thank you Antonio for this. At the end of the video, I concluded that its best to swap the term "Old Money" for "Sustainable" Aesthetics. It's all common sense inconspicuous consumption and having a care to match the outfit to the context or situation. A healthy and physically fit body will make most dull clothing look good. You also get to have money left over for more important things like golf and holidays. Looking forward to another great video.

[@regcrowder9010]

😁 Great advice. You are really in the zone! 👍 "This we'll defend." (Army)

[@artvandelay1555]

You are right on with the quality advice. My Grandma was not wealthy, but she always bought quality or did not buy at all. She always had style even when working in the garden. This translates to old money men's style. Very good suit advice. Wool or Cashmere. To go with your advice may i suggest The Dua Brand's "Men's Classic Cologne". Super high quality that screams old money. Lasts 12 + hours, but subtle at the same time. Thanks.

[@Ben77788]

Best suits I’ve ever owned were all Canali. For me, these were a combo of the best cut and quality of material.

[@chrissullivan268]

I am very eclectic. Western in the fall/winter. Summer is sandals, jeans and a polo. I love sport casual but am to a point in my life where it’s just exhausting. I do take pride, my jeans and collared shirts are ironed every morning and I am in construction. But just love jeans, shirt, nice watch and my wedding band matches the watch. Love the advice on your channel, it’s almost becoming a forgotten attribute.

[@sacharrin]

Thanks so much, in my opinion this video is a very good advice and method to counter the fast fashion (aka "trendy) industry that is causing a lpt of clothes going to waste. Although materialism amd consumerism might be the huge obstacle for this but I truly agree with your advices 🍻

[@christopher_thereal1]

Good stuff, my man. You’ve just earned a subscriber. Thank you.

[@JackSmith-qi7dr]

Antonio! Gentlemen wears braces, not suspenders. Aside from that minor issue, thank you for helping men try to look more put together .

[@johnroberts1141]

Blazer or sport coat, chinos, white oxford shirt or polo shirt, pocket square, and loafers are my go to outfit.

[@samykingson5427]

wonderful information man

[@Helios-op8rz]

Genius, thank you!

[@robertwilkinson8421]

Great Video with a Lot of Great Info and advice. Quality over Quantity always, just makes sense. Lastly, maintain what you have in a serviceable condition, absolutely.

[@andrewkaunisto484]

I used to be in banking and really miss the style I had then. Now I am an engineer working in the field and PPE is required. I would love for you to do a video on how to stay stylish if you go from the office to working in a hard hat.

[@linda_fruit]

Every man should watch this channel 🔥

[@BojanBojovic]

The best watch for this video, Orient Bambino. A real timepiece for $150, just going perfectly with the title.

[@mahtabprattus1381]

Absolute banger! Thanks

[@plumtiger1]

Holy crap! I have a value equation too! Its how I justify larger ticket items. very cool! Feeling is not in mine, but I may add it, as it is important in the decision. I have "wears" as "usage" b/c i use it for cars, tv's, etc.

[@chrisxavier1848]

Knowing to do needlework is key!

[@MikkosFree]

Hey there! I have been watching your channel for some time, and find all your content great and much needed. I do have a request though. You see I'm in South East Asia. And a lot of the clothing styles really doesn't work here. For one, the heat is brutal. Humidity is stifling. I would really appreciate if you had a video on dressing well and powerfully in these kinds of climates. Thank you again for all that you do.

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

I've dressed like this since I was 18 and it never fails to impress, I'm known for dressing "well" even though I don't spend a fortune. The first key is in whatever you buy make sure it fits, properly, in that you can move in it, sit, bend and not look a mess afterwards. Secondary point is to look after your stuff, keep it clean and ironed (pressed), get your shows resoled. Third, get the best shows you can afford, they'll last decades if you treat them well. Loakes, Churches, George Cleverley, if you realy want to dress down or perhaps you're outdoors even Red Wings or Thorogoods. *Note* not every one of these brands will fit everybody so do your research before you invest. Bonus point, smell good. Find one good scent that suits you (seek third party advice) and stick to that on the main with perhaps one or two options for specific occasions. There have been times when I've been off form or in a poor headspace and had period where I've dressed comparatively poorly, this always ends up with myself feeling worse and with a lower self esteem than I started with, less than ideal. Dressing well can really help pick you up and maintain self respect.

[@ewartemersonyearwood3032]

Yes, old money does not compromise on footwear....

[@philipkeohane2652]

Forth: learn to spell. No point in dressing “old money” if the first words that come out of your mouth or pen shout illiteracy. There called shoes; and they should be bespoke.

[@312Taino]

Antonio, I love your videos but It’s tough referencing them quickly when planning an outfit. I thinks it’s time you started publishing portrait sized books. You could complete an encyclopedia of men’s fashion!

[@alexandrebaccili454]

Excelente conteúdo. Obrigado.

[@georgetown8986]

General rule of thumb (though not set in stone presumptively), if you wear a button down oxford shirt with a blazer or suit, it is best to match it with tassel loafers or dress penny loafers.

[@J.J._Mason]

I love your style and this old money specifically, I use your videos and Sven's. I'm not high class or rich, but I do love to look good

[@alfiethedinosaur6621]

perfect timing, i was just getting into the old money style

[@Mayankbhattacharya]

Loved the turtle-neck on you Antonio! Loved it on your aesthetics :)

[@audiophilip7856]

my favorite channel...greetings from Italy, Antonio !!!

[@GordonLF]

Very good advice for dressing well. Not exactly old money style, which most of the time is not as well dressed as the well dressed, but everybody should get the point.

[@georgetown8986]

Solid video. Always buy high quality traditional clothing and shoes--and maintain it and keep it a number of years.

[@dennissvensson6051]

A fun video idea: different neckties and knots, the classic Windsor knot, the Merovingian/ediety knot, the Eldredge knot etc Some times we can allow us to have some fun with the details.

[@yearofthemetalboar5645]

EXCELLENT & WELL-PRESENTED POINTS. THANK YOU.

[@mohamedalkaboom]

You are a fantastic style coach. Superb videos!

[@nothing0062]

What amazes me is the number of men who don't wear shoes, even when they are somewhere a bit more fancy than just the pub. Trainers have a place, but can't replace shoes.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

As a woman, I so agree: wear proper leather footwear, gentlemen, not just sneakers and flip-flops!

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

I agree. I think the overall level of your outfit matches the level of the least formal element. So if you’re wearing a suit with sneakers… That brings the whole look down. Can you see guys with the nice jacket and shirt and shoes… Wearing a pair of jeans. That can be fine… The jeans are in good shape… But a pair of slacks would have elevated that look by two style points.

[@emmanuelapac3315]

This brilliant advise and its got me thinking...I can definitely pull off the old money style 247/365. Thank you Sir.
