[@mgibson3248]

I really like the direction this channel is going. It’s refreshing to see actual style advise instead of unboxing expensive brands.

[@timnijzink1286]

Exactly this!! Couldn’t have said it better!

[@RaphaeLima]

Tim always delivers

[@Phafanapolis]

Agreed, a lot of “fashion” focuses on having _specific thing_ instead of _an thing._

[@thinhxuan2824]

Exactly this

[@saveyourhero3307]

Fashion is more than expensive brands

[@KobyOhene]

You're hands down the best male fashion KZbinr out here. The content, production, detail, information and overall effort you put into each video is crazy. Truly inspiring man.

[@TimDessaint]

Thank you for your kind words Koby! Truly appreciated 🙏💛

[@moseslee5721]

No, hands up. He is king of hand gestures ;)

[@walerapheal2251]

I would agree 💯

[@mashihodpotatoetm4572]

Facts

[@renren2740]

And wholesome community too! I learn alot as a female lurker who likes to dress in his kind of style (so chic and timeless!)

[@doncheeto3706]

Another subtle change that elevates my style is the choice to tuck in my shirt, especially with button downs and regular Ts. Good stuff Tim!

[@Phafanapolis]

Tucked gang Uber mensch

[@renren2740]

Yes! This tips really helps me to trick my balance/ sillhouette as I have shorter torso and longer legs

[@x9147]

But you need to have a good butt to look good with tucked in tshirts imo. Even as a male your butt is important.

[@najibasma]

I don’t think people realise the effort that went into making this video, so well shot and produced man. Fun to watch and great ideas as always. Definitely getting that grey suit, been looking for one like this since autumn! 👌🏻

[@stevesaldivar1569]

You know, Tim's style is not really my style (I'm more rocker/band t-shirt type guy) BUT the tips on putting pieces together and accessorizing are super valuable to building a cohesive look.

[@madeofcastiron]

not a clothing item/styling tip, but one thing i also find super important: confidence! sometimes i feel awkward when trying on a new style or wearing fancier clothes, but just bring some self-confidence, and the outfit immediately looks and feels more expensive. as they say, fake it till you make it (this really helped me a lot when i'm nervous about going to fancier places)

[@hilmir]

Not a fan of "faking" anything, so my mantra is "my body, my choice". that helps me have a zero f*ck attitude, which i find to be more authentic and less performative than feigning confidence.

[@MegaPatuti]

on the top of everything: have a fit body. every outfit looks more expensive if it fits good, and if it fits a fit body. Stay healthy peeps!

[@joshdavidson2833]

I love the effort that you put into each video, super helpful for all levels of fashion and menswear enthusiasts. I’m so glad I discovered this channel.

[@samuelhinshelwoodjr]

Wow Tim, this video was immaculate in every way, from the looks to the production to the storyline to everything in between. But I'm most impressed with the art and science of fashion that you've nailed down, and specifically how you were able to literally *refine* the essence of _chic_ in this video. That's crazy! But I saw EXACTLY what you were talking about with your tips. That's brilliant. You're so brilliant man! Thanks for the content!

[@TheBigHmac]

Thanks for teaching me so much about style in such a short period of time Tim! I really appreciate you!

[@nikkut_]

I'd love to thank Tim for helping me build my style, I really appreciate your high quality videos, no better fashion KZbinr I know!

[@cookeasytastytutorials-sug5688]

I like Wearing all black can be stylish with different textures ,fabrics and variations of black than boring plain look

[@smallbrain9782]

Same and with white for a clean but non-formal look

[@Phafanapolis]

To me, black is what the help working the event wear, not what the guests at the event wear

[@offtherecord572]

@@Phafanapolis this is a fact. black is usually a hit or miss - very easy to miss.

[@ReezASam]

I have just turned 40 late last year and I am so goin for your style direction. It is refreshingly effortless, cool, subtle and the epitome of a male elegance! A big fan from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

[@ellvenfairy]

Thank you so much for these tips! It is complicated sometimes to understand how to look good with simplicity, and it is such a talent to know how to manage colors and clothes like you do! 💗

[@vagabond8460]

I was here at a very early stage in the channel, and to see it grow so much not only in terms of content but QUALITY is amazing. Keep it up man!!

[@myatpoeeain3954]

I really love this channel. This helped me out way better especially in my fashion taste. I was the one who always looking for the comfortable outfits which are fashionable

[@Rudy1150]

damn, such the wisdom here. I love that you are showing the "style" as relaxed and slim. As someone older, I cant pull off relaxed without looking like I am trying too hard. I so excited that you are closing in on a million subs. I have been watching for a long time (since the video on how to find the right glasses style for your face shape).

[@ericpaskach6329]

The editing is getting better and better with each video. Keep it up Tim!

[@falsesenpai]

Great video as always Tim, love the outside shots with the outfits it's certainly adds up more to the videos hope you can keep doing them

[@brianvalerio5466]

I can't believe how much ideas I've missed out for the past 2 years of not watching Tim. Thank God he's always there.

[@hafizh1817]

Love every thing about this video. Wish u could upload more often, Tim. Your videos make my days better

[@Imnathgriff]

impeccably put together as usual Tim from start to finish 🙌🏽! The visuals were perfect! #Rainblow

[@TimDessaint]

Haha thank you my guy! Appreciate it 👊

[@caboosegorgees]

It’s been a while since I’ve watched your videos but after watching a few videos I realise how much I enjoyed your videos. Feels like reconnecting with an old friend. As someone else has mentioned, I’m glad you’re focusing on providing affordable fashion rather than showing everyone what expensive brands you have in your closet which is what I felt a few other KZbinrs started to lean into. Editing of the video is very engaging too

[@cedi8027]

haven't seen a video from you for a while but wow the quality has gotten insane.

[@TimDessaint]

Thank you! And welcome back 😎

[@raphaelgentes1678]

the quality of your videos just keeps on evolving. Its honestly really impressive

[@uicpok1]

Damn, you’ve really stepped up the editing in your videos. Been watching you for a while now, and love to see you evolve your content!

[@felipechoy2156]

Tim , I have been following you since your fist videos. Thanks for embracing me to change and style my outfits without recommending the same thing like "menswear".

[@a2j544]

The quality in this video is insane! Best fashion youtuber out there atm, no doubt

[@germanpride]

Great video! This is something I've been thinking about for a while, and you out it into words perfectly

[@ArpitKsingh]

Really loved the videography and construction of this new video and also the long form factor in the first half of the video gave it a real nice look keep up the good work mate🤜🤛

[@dr33kkclement54]

Thanks Tim, you have really pushed me to go outside my style comfort zone and I am glad I did 🔥💯

[@chillblue1650]

Subscribed just for this. I love that point about being bold and being casual. You can definitely "look expensive" and cool going the casual route as long as you do it right.

[@Jacob32905]

This dude hands down has the best fashion advice on KZbin. Love his style.

[@BAXBARA]

Love the work that goes into your videos. Well thought out, this is fabulous Tim !

[@sturanovicms]

This is totally the style I'm going for! Thank you for giving me inspiration.

[@Ld-ol4ge]

I had high expectations for this video seeing the title and I can say that you delivered

[@bernardomonzoragubjr]

Subbed! Been watching you for a while now and all your tips are realistically reachable most of all is the mild-mannered way you show up yourself. Your videos are always well thought out and congratulations on the creativity of this one.

[@jomni]

I've been doing black for so long now. Exploring monochrome neutrals recently thanks to you, Tim. The statement piece tip is important. I've seen many wearing more than one loud piece, including branded logos and monograms, it really doesn't work. I personally realised just one is enough. By the way, you don't talk much about bags. Show us your bag collection? What styles and how to match them with clothes and occasions?

[@phileezor]

It's budget shopping time. Thanks and keep at it! Great videos as always.

[@viniciusaugusto4570]

Incredible how everything looks and fits so good on him

[@Darrentime]

I love how the videos you make have changed they are soo good and easy to follow keep going 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@Bukzy]

Tim forever! Hands down my favorite style inspiration at the moment! ♥️

[@sewneyes3417]

The production on these videos are next level. Great job dude!

[@KastreraDkatt]

This channel is exactly what i needed right now. Keep em comin man! 🎉

[@JamieTenikoff]

Been around for ages and you're still going hard, keep it up brother

[@roberttran1114]

A genuinely humbling video. never watched you before or been interested in this type of content but this video was in my recommendations and I don't regret clicking. 👌👌

[@akshhat]

amazing content as always, tim! this is exactly the kind of video I was looking for. definitely lacking on the jewellery aspect. gonna go and buy some chains and rings now!

[@dzki1018]

i always go back to your channel for styling tips. Thanks a lot, Tim!

[@theDapperVault]

The production quality is just next level! Truly inspired 🔥

[@davegavriel1845]

I love how you started to show us the application of all previous tips at 06:00 . Please include more of these, since it really helped the viewers to understand the theories better :)

[@oramusic963]

Damn man you're taking the video prodcution to the next level! I'm impressed, it feels like I'm watching a short film or documentary and the tips are amazing as always. Keep it up man :D At this pace you might very well surpass all other fashion channels in no time hahaha

[@secretscarlet8249]

Really love how well explained and well shot this is.

[@hedi42]

Nice vid, I love the effort you put into filming all the different scenes. I have a meet-up at a chic hotel tomorrow (first time I put my feet there) and I chose a linen off-white shirt with classy beige trousers and white sneakers, thus avoiding the suit. I felt so pumped at 2:50

[@antoinepetitdemange147]

Hi Tim, I really like your videos and found this one very pleasant to watch. I have two ideas about ways to look chic even on a budget: 1. Though wearing black can be a good idea, you have to be extra careful about the way your black clothes age. Nothing looks cheaper than a faded or worn out black garment. 2. If you have to focus on one piece in your outfit, focus on shoes. Most people can really easily see if your shoes are on the cheap side or not, whereas you can find good-looking trousers and shirts even in fast fashion. Thanks again for your video !

[@Ogelit]

I love this video. It has so much information, but is entertaining and very professionally made.

[@Troy-sz2yu]

Always watching your vids Tim! Your style rocks!

[@frank8089]

On top of your excellent content, all your sponsored activations feel so natural and authentic. Seriously respect how non-intrusive they are.

[@vladimirsrednikh3023]

Thank you, Tim, you’ve just opened a new world for me!

[@aezidoubleu]

The editing was fantastic on this video. Another great price of content, keep it up.

[@rhysswallow-9335]

Just wanna say I loved the editing on the intro to this video it looks so clean and professional

[@kendrick1410]

The intro is just so royal and elegant man!! I’m absolutely sure that you’re my favourite fashion content creator of all time!!

[@nhddd]

Tim youve been killing it lately. Love these types of videos. Keep up the awesome work. Noodles😂😂

[@vatsalpatel7242]

Absolutely love it! Great work Tim!

[@bernandinocamilo1946]

Amazing tips/advice. One of the best to ever do it.

[@lasseegebo3239]

Wow! Absolutely amazing video Tim

[@kero3232]

Im glad i found your channel, it’s not like most of the fashion channels i find. Your channel is just what im looking for! 😊

[@antoniovandias8653]

One of the best videos I have watched from you. Congrats bud.

[@armedcock]

love the message, the combination in this video dont really go for cheap clothes, but the idea is universal nicely done and I learned a lot!

[@khanhhuyphan4285]

super useful tips. Keep up the good work Tim. Big fan from Vietnam !

[@_job]

LOVE THE EDITING TIM!

[@user-zu4kx3in3v]

Thank you so much for the insight.. I learn a lot mennnn.. Especially tip number 6 "Be Bold with a Statement Piece".. Love this..❤❤❤

[@vzambrano_]

missed you man, good to see you back!

[@Chloe-py3vk]

I'm a woman that usually dress gender neutrally, loving the vids cause it's so useful and helpful, thanks Tim. Btw the last bits of bloopers cracks me up lmao

[@GabrielLopez-mo2xo]

This man really be making videos perfect for grad students. Think about it as a group we are poor but expected to dress well and this shows us how to not give a bad impression while not breaking the bank!

[@adedejijubril8048]

Nice video. Really helpful. I'll like to add that you can replace black with all midnight blue. It's a dark color that also projects an elegant look

[@charlesblack1086]

Great video. I really like the jewelry explanation. I'm still learning how to do this. The statement piece idea was also interesting.

[@tolegends3942]

I would say you can wear one destroyed/rough/super colourful statement item with the rest clean. If you wear 2 or more statement items it quickly becomes very informal. This is why black/white works so well, dressing feels often most difficult with the 'in-between items' - between formal/casual. Have a clean base (black/white/beige/brown) with really cool statement items to use to the occasion.

[@domob17]

Affordable fashion style advise that shouts silent luxury. Subbed! ❤️

[@MarqueGee]

Fashion is the subject and Tim is the professor. And the cool kind at that.

[@kellstoshi1105]

Bought 2 Uniqlo t shirts after watching your videos. It’s super good quality and affordable. Thank you for the suggestion 👍

[@jonathantran7102]

I hadn't watched this video, but I'm going to watch every video from now on when it releases regardless. I've never regretted watching any videos

[@celeritas2-810]

As a femme who dresses femininely I love your fashion videos as it's so transferable and relevant

[@youludufutur1374]

Slowly becoming my favourite fashion youtube channel

[@Tr.kienan0125]

Truly appreciated to Tim Desaint.

[@MrLekBaba]

Omg that’s what I’m looking for , well done man for the quality & details content 🙏🏽 definitely got to share it to my friends 💯

[@TimDessaint]

[@NooneEverReallyDiez]

Love the clips of Daniel! 🙌

[@MsJeremy777]

Love the tips! I definitely haven't thought of some

[@ritikshakya9678]

Yet another banger Tim!

[@risabhkothari4524]

love to have you back :)

[@jackdongles2944]

I liked the video before even watching, because tim knows what good. Your vids have been a blessing bro

[@TimDessaint]

My guy 🙏

[@hilmir]

I learnt to cut my own hair out of necessity as a student. a decade later, I can do it w my eyes closed. I levelled up a year ago during lockdown when I learnt to process my hair platinum. From there I experimented with toning, grays, blues, ash, pastels, and automatically became more noticed and even complimented. I still wear classic cuts of clothes, despise trends but it works for me as the combination of a striking hair color and classic style is the best thing to elevate my look and make it 100% unique to me. I think this covers point no 6, but in a different way.

[@vicentecorrea5267]

Vveryy good video- nice lil touch at the end with the bloopers hahaha

[@user-pi4fz3qz6h]

Learned a lot today. Thank you so much!

[@simonemicucci9222]

It’s crazy how video is always the same stuff but everytime hits in a different way😍

[@kcsquarebiz]

Tim first time here I like the advice its laid back cool vibe here. you looking good sir, keep it up stay sharp

[@nathanielmiranda4644]

Thank you for all the tips bro!

[@moelester6316]

Love your channel, my way of looking expensive is just the ‘business casual’ method: khaki chinos + black belt a polo shirt (I’d go black, dark blue or pink) ‘nice shoes’ even doc marten mono black 1461 will do. A metallic watch like silver or gold, I personally have an Apple Watch with a silver band so it does the job. Amazing channel love all your vids

[@sakibahmedsany5875]

This dude deserves more subscribers ❤️ Best Of Luck

[@dreamershavemorefun]

This is the video I’ve been so excited to see from you Tim!! Would you happen to have any alternatives for Oversized t-shirts that are not the Uniqlo Airism T-shirt?? I don’t love the material but still love the silhouette. As always, thank you a million times for these wonderful videos!!

[@davidalba6337]

I just decided this just became my favourite KZbin channel

[@traynvin]
