[@janetsettecasse4446]

thank you, i love the fact that you did a video on mens fashion and made it fun tieing this in with TV. and films!

[@FabSakker]

Aw yay, I'm so glad you thought it was fun! Whenever I watch a movie or show I'm always looking at the costumes lol ♥️💕

[@raquelqui5593]

I love Chuck Bass style 💕

[@FabSakker]

Me too 🙂 Blair and Chuck make a very stylish pair!

[@skinnernorriz5617]

Amen

[@chantlmcclary6419]

Oh God I loved the talented Mr. Ripley movie mainly for the plot but that fashion was so cool to look at and I'm glad I got to see it for the first time last year.

[@wbielicz]

it was a great story

[@s.b.7121]

I think Robert Redford is also a great example of preppy/classic style, especially in "The great Gatsby" and "Barefoot in the park"

[@FabSakker]

Yes, what a stylish and classically handsome man!

[@csm92459]

That vest is gorgeous!

[@FabSakker]

Thank you! I just realised I am pretty much wearing the outfit at 3:15 😂

[@neilhorner9197]

Great video. I really enjoyed it.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO MENTIONS BLAINE!! THANK YOU!!!

[@reng935]

I'm subscribing

[@sofiakim8466]

I love your channel!! And the vest you are wearing in this video is just fabulous

[@FabSakker]

Thank you Sofia! I saw the vest on ASOS and knew I had to snap it up! 😄

[@A.M.A.888]

Hi🌸👋 Just if it's fine for you, could you make a video about preppy accessories, for instance headbands, bags or certain kind of jewelry, etc. ? ☺

[@FabSakker]

Helloooo 💐 Yes of course lovely! I've made a video about preppy jewelry brands you might like to check out in the mean time, but I will totally make a more in depth video about different accessory/ jewelry styles 😄

[@arlindfazliu4840]

I can't believe you have not included Alain Delon - the epitome of preppy style.

[@patriciaottone4083]

So good fab 🙌. As for a part two...just a few ideas for part 2....fiction & non-fictional prep icons... JFK , Prince William, Ralph Lauren, Sean Connery as Bond; Tom Cruise in Risky Business. As a completely separate idea - The Prep Fashion of Bewitched .....so luv your content 💐...and you are rockin the houndstooth sweater vest 🙌🙌🙌

[@FabSakker]

Oh my gosh these are all FABULOUS suggestions Patricia 😄💕 And ooooh I love Bewitched so much ✨ I love that idea xxx

[@annabeatrizbogea889]

would you do a YSL style video? Absolutely adore your channel ❤️

[@DQ_Style]

I find you absolutely lovely and charismatic 🎉. Great channel 👍

[@crosskitelines]

Also I love your sweater vest!

[@FabSakker]

Aw thank you! Can never go wrong with a bit of houndstooth 😎

[@ashketchuumm]

I really enjoyed this video !!!!!

[@FabSakker]

I'm so glad! 😄

[@kidaria1333]

Yes men edition 💕 you picked good examples

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

Dickie Greenleaf set me down on this path, though I have been watching Family Ties for years now!

[@laminage]

There was David Greene in School Ties who is a Scholarship student at an all boys Prep School. Also do a profile on The Men on Soaps especially on The Young & The Restless and Guiding Light, those guys could dress like nobody's business as well as The Bold & The Beautiful.

[@crosskitelines]

Such a fun video.

[@FabSakker]

Thank you lovely! ♥️

[@debbieshultz7335]

In the Talented Mr Ripley, Jude Law is not the Psycho, spoiler alert…..he gets murdered by Matt Damon, who plays Ripley. All the characters dress impeccably in the talented mr ripley including the female characters. Love your videos!

[@IanSteaman]

A couple of suggestions for if you ever do a Part II: the entire Making the Grade movie from 1984, the Metropolitan movie (1990) and Ryan Philippe especially in Cruel Intentions (1999) but also Igby Goes Down (2002)

[@stupewpew8295]

Just wanted to say really enjoyed this video, would you consider men’s style icons through the decades? James Dean, Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, David Beckham... all have timeless (now classic) looks. (Adjusting the tailoring for a more modern cut) 🙂

[@FabSakker]

Thank you so much Stu, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! All great suggestions - perhaps a video highlighting these stylish men and how the looks have managed to stay timeless and classic! 😄

[@stupewpew8295]

@@FabSakker it’s good and refreshing to get a female take on men’s clothing, I’d love to see a men’s hats video from you too, pork pie, baker/news boy, boater, trilby, flat cap etc, and maybe preppy eye wear too 😎🤓 🙂

[@Robert-ho7ys]

I feel that Jude Law's character is a fusion of Preppy/Ivy and Sprezzatura.

[@gracedarlenemcpherson9079]

I love Matthew McConaughey's (spelling???) style in the movie " A Time to Kill. " khakis & a navy blue blazer- and he looks gorgeous in them. Also, it's a really good movie.

[@FabSakker]

I haven't seen that movie! Will have to add it to the list 😄

[@nomms6662]

I think your eyes are so pretty

[@dianaszuts398]

I love, love your videos. I would love to know your opinion about the style of Mads Mikkensen's Hannibal by the way💜

[@FabSakker]

I've never seen that show but I love Mads, he's such a great actor! I will have to give it a watch 😄

[@dianaszuts398]

@@FabSakker I hope you will like it🤩💜

[@lilliandailey918]

Love your sweater vest! Where is from?

[@FabSakker]

Thank you Lillian! I got it from ASOS last year, I believe the brand is called Y.A.S 🙂

[@courtneypeters8527]

Check out the 1985 movie Making the Grade with Judd Nelson

[@peteroconnor6394]

Dear Ms Sakker, It sounds to me that you have a mixed English accent - did you grow up somewhere outside the US? Do you have a website?

[@mikeylikey2306]

Was Dawson’s Creek preppy?

[@joe-ru9gh]

You need to watch the 80s film making the grade its all about preppy

[@kingofpointless]

Number one lesson from this video, a fictional character being a terrible person (I mean, every character in The Gentleman really, and Alex Keaton was described as being "greed with the face of an angel") does not mean we cannot borrow cool fashion ideas from them lol.

[@FabSakker]

Hahaha yes! When I was editing this video I started to think... hang on... pretty much ALL of these characters have extremely questionable morals 😂😂

[@dukeofsardines]

I am the preppiest 🇺🇸

[@yorkrothschild9922]

Carlton from fresh prince of Bel air!!!

[@sizzledrizzle]

*takes rigorous notes* I'm a blazer and t-shirt kind of guy lol.

[@FabSakker]

😂😂 well hopefully these guys gave a little inspo - you've already got a great eye for colour though so you don't need any help with that!

[@dakotarayprice]

People In mad men have preppy look

[@rosshohnen4179]

please -if u must host -VOICE LESSONS!!!!

[@jlasf]

As someone who spent his school days at prep school, you have missed the mark on this. Most of the guys you show are dressed too flashily and new. You have mixed up preppy with dandy. Chuck Bass is a dandy, but he is not preppy. Preppies were classics that are well worn and keep it pretty simple.

[@JT-rx1eo]

Yea the examples seemed to stretch the standard, traditional preppy aesthetic. What is it, neo-preppy?

[@manoverboard4677]

I know you didn't say this exactly. I just want to clarify for everyone that you NEVER match your pocket square and your tie. The pocket square should pick up elements of the tie, but never do they match.

[@JT-rx1eo]

And I'm here to bust that rule. I say ALWAYS START with a tie/pocket square match at least notionally, then you vary from there. It just makes sense. I've seen way too many tie/pocket square combos that are an absolute mess and way worse aesthetically than the neatness, crispness, and balanced aesthetics of a perfect match. The "never match pocket square to tie" has got to be the stupidest rule ever. Even more stupid than the "never wear white after Labor day" rule.
