Menswear at the Movies | High Society

[@DandyWellington]

What other films should I cover?

[@rhymedelacruz5766]

The Sound of Music?

[@Martyn2021]

Robin and the Seven hoods, because Sammy Davis Jr

[@Mark-hf6uf]

Jeeves & Wooster with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, back in the days. A series and not a movie, but goodness gracious me, the clothes are spot on

[@sinclairethomas8197]

Singin' in the Rain. I've always wanted to know how accurate the costumes were.

[@Sunmotherr]

Casablanca! the trench coats, the suits, its all too good 😍

[@chondele]

I feel classy just watching this.

[@ascdancer]

It would be cool to see you put gene’s and fred’s wardrobes up side by side to discuss the difference in the types of characters they play!

[@StephanieCanada]

I love how you break down the entire look! Please do White Christmas! I would love to hear your thoughts on that.

[@momotheelder7124]

great looks in that movie, very colourful

[@TheVintageVoyageur]

Who IS this guy? 😂😂😂 That killed me! This is soooo good! While the focus was on menswear, I couldn’t help but gasp at Grace in that white dress to jumper poolside look 🤩. Love that the focus was on all the details of menswear in this. Rarely do you see a vid breaking these looks down and you did SUPERB! Adore you and these videos so much!

[@DandyWellington]

The Vintage Voyageur thanks so much!! I’m glad you got my Lund Shun 😂! Yes It was difficult to “ignore” the amazing womenswear in this film. Grace Kelly and Celeste Holm are at the top of their style game here.

[@harshitahuja1205]

Please do one episode on "The Godfather"!

[@thebluechimera]

Never seen this type of content on menswear, come to think of it whenever I think of historical costumes I think of women's wear and the men's costumes are just kinda there 😂 definitely looking forward to more of these

[@themusecalliope1066]

How about Top Hat or Easter Parade?

[@TheMetatronGirl]

The looks in this film are so sharp! I never noticed the back brim of Louis Armstrong’s Pork Pie, before!! Leave it to Louis to be that snazzy. I truly enjoyed your breakdown of men’s fashion and very much look forward to more. Would you consider doing Singing in the Rain?

[@DandyWellington]

The MetatronGirl SO TRUE! Louis always look amazing. Thanks for watching. Singing in the Rain will FOR SURE happen 😃

[@candacebest322]

The way you break down outfits and style is so universal!

[@ThemisMorze]

I've got a picture of my great-great-grandfather that I know next to nothing about, and I now only realized after watching your video... he's dressed like a Dandy! He's got some kind of hat on, but he's wearing it tilted back on his head like the bandmembers are when they're all in the vehicle, and he's got a bowtie on and it looks like he's wearing a tuxedo jacket. Now I'm wondering what he did for a living and what his life looked like and how he and my great-great-grandmother crossed paths! They were never married, and the story goes he was from New York state. Maybe he was a musician of some type? Thank you for your video! I'm having a moment being able to look at the picture of my ancestor with a new eye and noticing things about his clothing and having a moment of connection with him.

[@m.maclellan7147]

Time to go internet sleuthing !

[@HosCreates]

I didn't know Bing Crosby did movies too. I thought he was just a crooner, and I love his Christmas music. It's the only Christmas music I can handle!

[@W1llyummy]

“CAN I HAVE THOSE IN MY WARDROBE PLZZZ”😩

[@frugalfemmecarole6517]

Love, love, loved this video! My husband even stopped what he was doing to watch it with me. I’m with you. My husband needs some brown and white spectators.

[@EveryHonestEffort]

I enjoyed this so much, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of content on menswear back then. I think the only bit I would have liked added onto your video was seeing a visual of your alternative suggestions for collar for the suits. I could get a sense of what you meant but am not well versed enough to know exactly what look you were talking about. Thanks for making! P.S. What about My Fair Lady?

[@kzisnbkosplay3346]

This is awesome! So much discussion of women's clothes, we need more classic men's fashion.

[@blakesby]

This is so good! If you're taking suggestions, mine would be Our Man In Havana. Also could be neat and pretty popular to do any of the many versions of The Great Gatsby, maybe analysing what they did right or did well visually (like good colour combinations), but not neccesarily what they got very historically inaccurate (which, ya know, is most of it). Also maybe a few silent film comedy star shorts, like Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and Max Linder, as some of those men both on and off screen were definitely wearing some of the most fashionable styles of the time (Harold Lloyd's jazz suits, for example). Vaudeville chic, because ✨AESTHETICS✨™️ 😅

[@didierleclair2310]

Uncle Willy, man! He's so elegant!👍🏿

[@SkyHarmon-e8q]

One of my favorite movies ever. I have been singing "Just dig that scenery floating by..." since I was old enough to speak. Great video - love the breakdown of the men's fashions

[@meltyblend]

OMG you really did just stick him in at the end 😂😂😂 I

[@funkything]

Singing in the rain and Some like it hot could be interesting with the contrasts they're trying to create ;) Breakfast at Tiffany's On the town.

[@maliana86]

I love the clothes in this movie! The grey gown was my inspiration for my wedding dress☺️

[@thestylishgrownman5919]

Uncle Willie was definitely killing it!💪🏾💪🏾

[@lydiamaas2524]

Love the in depth analysis. It’s not just the apparel but the meaning behind it.

[@suewrather6154]

So excited for this series! I love old movies and look forward to learning more about men’s fashions through film. Capsule wardrobe input is genius

[@cameronayers2414]

So excited for this series. I was raised on these films. Uncle Willie is #goals

[@Edhys]

Such a great video! I've never seen the film, but I can't help but feel like the morning dress for Uncle Willie was to showcase his sense of style, as well as his sense of formality of the occasion and a touch of oldfashioned values. Or trying to appear as a man of very high social status against others in less formal clothing. I look forward to more Menswear at the Movies!

[@jodieroundtree488]

Uncle Willy swag all the way! Thanks, this is a great idea for a series! Really enjoyed it.

[@paulbright5081]

Great job Mr. Wellington! You made me appreciate this movie on an whole new level.

[@Blitzcomo]

Man, that last guy’s outfits are so amazing!!! I’m forgetting the name of the movie right now, but there’s a Frank Sinatra film that takes place on a cruise ship that has some wonderful costumes. If I can remember the title, I’ll drop it!

[@kc9213]

Do you mean Ship Ahoy?!

[@sweetbriar06]

Do Singin’ in the Rain! Or An American in Paris!

[@shannon2711]

Such a good film! I haven't seen it in ages, thank you for discussing the men's clothing in such detail. I now must rewatch it immediately!

[@SewHealthyWithDiane]

That was so enjoyable! I can’t wait to see the next Menswear at the Movies!!

[@cindyrosser2471]

Although it is in black and white, I think a good candidate for Menswear at the Movies, would be Sunset Boulevard with William Holden. He starts out just a poor script writer and then becomes Gloria Swanson's toy boy. She buys him some great clothes. I always love the scene where he's about to buy a camel hair coats and the shop assistant says "as the lady is buying, get the vicunna."

[@raheltd]

This movie is gorgeous!! I watched it some time ago and I'm glad you began the series with it.

[@rosecallahan]

This was so fun and informative to watch! Bravo Dandy! Love your shout out to the older dandy gent, dressed very anachronistically. Can’t wait to see more!

[@Clara-nm9im]

This new series is fantastic! I love classic film and style so this is a joy. I hope you do one of Fred Astaire 's movies in the future, one of the best dressed in my opinion!

[@yversorrod1529]

Great video, LOVED your analysis of these gentlemen's outfits and my favorites are also Uncle Willie's!!!😃👌 And... "Guys and Dolls", "Hello Dolly" and "There's no business like show business" are some to consider!😉

[@mateojimenez5563]

Please for the love of all that’s holy… do more of these “at the movies”

[@lajoyous1568]

Great insight...I never knew there was so much to menswear.

[@Khanalee]

This was so good! I’m so glad I found you on Instagram. (I think via Pinsent tailoring.) I was born in 1952 and my early sense of fashion was derived from watching older movies. I remember those broad shouldered suits from the ‘50’s and I think men would really feel good about themselves and swagger. My father had one of those hats like Sinatra’s, the dark with the wide white band. Oh, yeah. They were quite the thing. He wore it when going to work downtown with it tilted ever so slightly to the side.

[@cosettelewallen4281]

Your vocabulary is divine! I love it!

[@ingerteodora5413]

I really enjoy the concept of this series, both for learning more about vintage menswear and the old movies. One wish though; as someone who doesn't know a lot about suits and who's following in my second language, I am quite reliant on visuals to understand what you are talking about. So more close-ups of the part of the costume you are discussing would be helpful, the same would examples when you are discussing what options they should have gone with. I would also like to know more of the why, like why one sort of collar would be more appropriate than another, or why white buttons on black tuxedos shouldn't be done. But these are just minor changes, as a whole I think this was great.

[@rafaelcastillo3834]

Fashion in film is a favorite topic of mine. Please do more!

[@robinhahnsopran]

I love this! I'm personally desperate for a full Guys and Dolls breakdown, myself! :)

[@funkything]

What a fantastic video. Looking forward to the next one. First time I've ever subscribed to something on KZbin, recently started following you on Instagram and just love it.

[@matias22tk]

I throughly enjoyed this episode!

[@darthbee18]

I loooooove this series, keep it going Dandy! 😍😍💙

[@LanaFeyah]

Your videos are always such a joy to watch!

[@serianc9036]

So excited for this series!

[@catherinerw1]

That's interesting about the shirt collars with tuxedos, as a UK/US difference :-) (UK should correctly wear a wing collar with white tie, and a fold-down collar with black tie...)

[@kc9213]

Fantastic breakdown! I've always loved how Dex's outfits seem to barely meet the societal requirements, emphasizing his inappropriateness as Tracy's 'equal' . Especially enjoyed the tidbits about the band and Louis Armstrong. looking forward to more movies getting the treatment! How about 'Robin and the 7 Hoods', and 'Rebecca'?

[@angelique_cs]

This was so much fun! I can't wait to see what other films you'll cover 😊

[@elisavetkinali4946]

I enjoyed this so much!!!!! I would love it if you could do a video on "An American in Paris." ....

[@lydelljefferson3250]

You got me, on this one

[@hensimoli013]

Loved this!

[@craftyroo9930]

i'd love to see your take on La Dolce Vita

[@m.maclellan7147]

Someone mentioned "Singing in the rain", so that's my Gene Kelly fix ! How about a bit of Danny Kaye ?! I always loved him, he was incredible, but seemed to be "second banana" as there were so many multi-talented handsome men at that time ! (You could do an entire video on vaudeville, as that and the upstate N.Y. {Catskills} were such training grounds for dancers, singers, etc....)

[@m.maclellan7147]

Dandy, when I try to get notifications it says "this action is turned off for content for children " ?????? Wah ?! I have noticed that on a few other new folks I follow. None of them are for children ?!

[@southwesttraveler7417]

Any or all of The Godfather films and also anything with Cary Grant

[@lydelljefferson3250]

Love it, Sir

[@TinaNawrocki]

More of this please! ^_^

[@StephenThorley]

What happen to this series I really enjoyed this?

[@Kristina-gz2wu]

Can you review white Christmas?
