What Menswear KZbinr would you like to see me collaborate with?

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Vladimir Riché For a yin/yang effect, Tim Dessaint. The man can rock some color. He’s in London, though. As far as someone closer to your style, definitely Sven of Gentleman’s Gazette.

[@m3stevie]

I agree a collab with Sven

Hey Vlad, I have been following menswear for almost a decade now and i must say your channel is the first that got me re-evaluating a lot of the pieces i have. I mean, they're not bad stuff but i just realise i have too many pieces and i just need a few versatile pieces and I'm good to go. Great job man!

Hey Vladimir, if you want to work in finance in London, you have to wear black shoes with navy. No brown in town is still a thing in the culture of the financial institution in London.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Andrew? I heard about that, they’re very serious in London, huh? They are some firms in NYC like that too but not that many.

[@AndrewL31413]

Vladimir Riché hey Vladimir, I am in the process of moving to London for my masters and work in finance. I didn’t know it was a thing before but it’s still taken somewhat seriously in financial institutions. I find it a bit silly, but you got to respect the culture to play the game.

[@v_r_]

Absolutely, you never want to be that guy that sticks up like a sour thumb and have to fall in line with the culture of the firm. Good luck with your masters and finance career.

[@trubblman]

Not just in London. On Wall Street the traders wear black Oxfords, mainly AE Park Avenue, I've read

[@caseyjonesbklyn5796]

trubblman the black cap toe Oxford is not the shoe of Wall Street bankers. It’s the shoe of the chauffeurs who drive their cars. The bankers are wearing whole cuts and wing tips and dressier loafers or darker brown/oxblood cap toes. Gordon Gekko didn’t wear black cap toes. And brown shoes with navy is plenty popular on Wall Street.

[@markmahan6868]

Vladimir, your observations are spot on. Elegance isn't easy to teach, it comes from within and has a lot to do with sensitivity, color sense and taste. I've lived in Italy almost thirty years and here there's a classical elegance and a more daring elegance that is more often sported by younger guys. I'm sixty and use the classical type of elegance and am careful about what I wear with light brown shoes, generally denim pants. The austerity brogues by TLB are a nice compromise, not dark brown but a rich coffee color which renders them more versatile. Nice suit by the way...

[@garthwright6308]

You are absolutely right about some of these old dudes. Have you heard the saying that you can't teach old dog new tricks? I never get the light brown shoes with dark color suits either 😆😆. By the way, I'd love to see you collaborate with Hugo Jacomet from the channel, Sartorial Talks.

[@biscuitnoir1]

Love the suit. Light grey houndstooth is definitely in my wishlist. Good to know that S&M offers it I have never seen it on their website though. Light grey with light brown shoes. Makes sense.

[@mdm5891]

Great video - thanks for your advice, I fully agree with it. Definitely see a looot of guys rocking a navy suit with light brown suit it's crazy how that combination is "popular". I actually fell into the trap of light brown shoes myself: ordered a pair on sales from Yanko (via the Skolyx website), and while they are very nice I find myself not wearing them as much as the other dress shoes that I have. This being said, I also have a pair of boots from Meermin in grained leather, in a light chestnut color, and being a more versatile model they are much easier to pair with my different casual outfits. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@v_r_]

Cheers, Martin! I couldn't agree more, I'm sure that the grain leather looks great with more casual outfits. Since I like my TLB pair so much, I do find myself looking for lighter suits just so I can use them.

First off, that is a killer suit you have on. Second, your pairing of light brown shoes with light grey is on point, as you prove with images during this video. I know for myself, light brown shoes just pop off a computer screen, and I ended up purchasing them more than darker, more versatile shoes, and didn’t realize what you are talking about until it was too late. You can pair light brown with some dark denim - but that is kind of the limit with light/dark pairings, IMO. Other than that, yeah, you need light grey trousers, which is very limiting. I kind of intuited what you are talking about, without wanting to admit my mistake. Thanks for stating it clearly. the truth hurts LOL Thanks for the videos, I’ve learned a lot from you and I’m grateful.

[@v_r_]

Thank you, I've wanted a flannel suit in that Houndstooth pattern for as long as I can remember. And I completely agree that darker denim and light shoes work together just fine due to the casual nature of Light Brown shoes. The good news is, you can still wear those beautiful Light Brown shoes by just getting some lighter colored suits/trousers. Thanks for watching!

[@bheinatz1]

I was gonna say, "what if we wear a lot of light grey suits?" But you covered it! I think my favorite to wear is light grey, I think I've got 4 different suits in light grey. But your right, hell no with navy. I've got a seersucker that they look fire with though! 😉

It’s the suit that I’m wearing while sitting at my desk throughout the video. It’s a VBC flannel custom suit from Spier & Mackay.

Doesn't matter what anyone else says, I say you are correct

[@besamemucho5]

First and foremost in order to look elegant you have to exude confidence...as far as the “intro” thing a confident man doesn’t have time to bother with what other people do...in fact when somebody imitates you what they are really doing is paying you a compliment...you are so totally right about the light brown shoes not only that you proved it by showing your suit matched with the light brown shoes and they look so elegant...I’ve never liked the dark clothing with light brown shoes now i know why...thank you.

[@lmcteo]

What about dark denims? Say charcoal or indigo jeans, I suppose is okay to be paired with light brown or tan shoes?

[@maxdominate2481]

@6:12 - Regarding your pant cuff size, from a seasonal point-of-view, what do you think about smaller cuffs(quarter inch maybe) in the spring and summer and larger cuffs(at least one inch) in the fall and winter?

[@v_r_]

What’s up, bro? I’ve never thought about cuffs as a seasonal thing but just what looks right to my eyes. In my case, I always like a bigger cuff, so 2” on all my trousers.

[@maxdominate2481]

@@v_r_ - Nearly two years on from beginning my classic men's wardrobe journey, I'm starting to have a lot of "nuanced considerations" to what I've learn thus far. As with any activity, the more time you spend in it, creative ideas begin to emerge. Thanks for your comment.

[@SunMagnetic]

Grey suit, light brown shoes are a perfect match. It might be my favorite combo next to navy suit, oxblood shoes. They make each other pop. The suit looks cleaner, the shoes look sharper.

[@v_r_]

Agree completely 🙌🏾🙌🏾

The_Outfitter....reporting for duty. Thanks for the shout out and another great video. Peace!

You already know, Patrick. Stay safe out there.

[@kennyporter7841]

That cuff in the Houndstooth trousers is 2" or 2 1/2"?

[@v_r_]

I didn't measure it but I asked for 2".

[@caseyjonesbklyn5796]

Good comment on what makes an outfit elegant. Although I do agree with the assessment of light brown shoes versatility. Light brown shoes with navy is common enough (as you say, lots of people do it), so it’s not as though it stands out as you suggest. I get what you’re saying that you don’t like the look, that’s fair enough, but I disagree that it stands out. Great video as always. I liked the examples you did give for light brown shoe compliments.

[@v_r_]

It’s funny, man! No matter how many times I see it, it still makes my eyes bleed LOL.

[@caseyjonesbklyn5796]

Vladimir Riché It’s sort of like a bulky dive watch with a suit. But at some point you just have to accept that it is at least common. No need to like it, but it’s commonplace at this point.

[@v_r_]

Commonplace doesn’t make it right, that I’m sure we can agree on. And I feel like it’s my job to bring it up as people don’t know what they don’t know. And some in the comments mentioned that very thought, so I’m happy with my decision. I don’t aim to change everybody, but if I can change just one person’s mind like I did with my cousin 5 years ago then I’ve succeeded. Your mileage may vary, of course.

[@MMM88X]

You are aiming for a classic, timeless, dare I say safe, style. Which I agree with, more or less.. But you're overlooking other factors such as culture, climate and other social factors. This is what the users from Italy and California were trying to tell you, it's not nonsense. If you actually visit Italy, especially Southern Italy, you will notice that men do in fact tend to be bold and more confident in their clothing choices and overall style. There's no right or wrong when it comes to style.. there's known conventions and standards, and there's those who play around them. I like your content and good luck with your channel.

[@v_r_]

I’m not overlooking anything, I don’t think. I just can give a damn where someone is from as far as wearing dark trousers with light shoes. It’ll never look right to my eyes. But as I’ve explained in the video, to each their own. We don’t have to agree on everything.

[@toluikhan4069]

Question? Is your suit grey with black patterns?

[@v_r_]

Hey Tolui! Yes that’s correct, it’s a Black & White houndstooth. I’ve been wanting a suit in that pattern for years.

[@Jairusd88]

I live in the south and I be utterly surprised how many men does not own a proper pair of black oxfords, and you’re right light brown shoes and navy suits are almost like a uniform with most. Men get a pair of black oxfords it will do wonders to your suit game.

[@v_r_]

I hear it a lot from guys that are into “fashion” that they don’t own any Black shoes which is beyond me. LOL

[@danielduggan5405]

I think they go great with an olive suit or pants, too. Might be less conventional, but in my opinion, green is underrated and underutilized.

[@TFM8]

I see where you're coming from. But one thing I noticed is that you see different tones of grey (dark, medium, light, etc) but you just mention navy...and not blue. A royal blue or lighter tones look great with lighter shoes, particularly in summer... granted I live in Europe and perhaps it has to do with the welcoming of summer that we've waited for so long that takes us to wear different fabrics and some more daring colors (not Italian). I agree with you on what makes an outfit flow and your advice is on point. I do think light brown has its place with blues too, maybe not in a suit if it's too much but with odd trousers they can look great. Just my opinion of course, as I don't agree with the old rules "no brown in town" and "blue and green should never be seen", etc

[@v_r_]

What’s up, bro? Certain shades of Blue could work, the lighter the better, obviously. I mentioned Navy because it’s the most popular suit option, at least in America and I wanted to address it. But you’re right!

[@nikosioannou7100]

Once again everytning you mention in this video is right. When you dress formally, with trousers or suits you have to avoid big contast between your shoes and trousers. Another rule is that you can not wear brown shoes (even very dark ones) with a black suit, even though there is no big contrast there. Actually, I was waiting for you to mention that. A more difficult question in my opinion is, whether you can wear light brown dress shoes with dark blue jeans or chinos, cassually. Thank you for one more informative video.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Nikos? You’re 100% right about Black suits as they can only be worn with Black shoes. I think since Light Brown shoes lend themselves to a more casual vibe, I’d say they’re fine with darker denim. Another interesting point that I forgot to mention is that the opposite works just fine even though the contrast still exists. I’m referring to light colored suits like Light Grey with dark shoes.

[@SHABAZZTRIBE]

"high beams on ya feet " LMAO !

[@Blackluuvv]

I would agree for the most part with the video. However, I think his argument was a little off the mark. It’s not so much the light brown color. I generally think of medium and light brown shoes as more of a spring, summer or warmer climate shoe color. Hence the commenters from California and Italy. So, more to the point is the style of the light brown shoe and the fabric of the suit. I think a navy blue linen suit looks incredible with a light brown loafer. As well as a nice mid to light brown brogue looks great with a traditional English navy blue pinstriped suit. That’s my two cents.
