I know it took me a few weeks, but I wanted to get this one right -- hope you guys enjoyed it, looking forward to reading your comments!! - Cheers, M #ODSquad

One Dapper Street only 2 minutes in but worth the wait

[@autumnisbetterthanspring]

Can you make a video on "essential shoes a guy needs in his wardrobe"?

[@new2000car]

Such great looks, and helpful reminders about the science (or how colors work or don't work together, to be more accurate) behind colors. The outfit at 8:42...that was not a great look for you. But the others were awesome, as usual. Thanks!

[@onedapperstreet]

noted!

[@johnwalker3180]

Another great video - informative and fun to watch! I have to ask about that jacket, tho. It's 🔥🔥🔥 Where is it from?

[@leomussazarzar]

"Getting inspired by one piece"... Of course! Luffy always inspires me to be stronger!

In the world of men's fashion it is very difficult to find someone who has good taste without exaggerating. You got this balance which I appreciate. Good advices!

[@kevinc2607]

Tim Dessaint sent me here , great vid 👍

[@BrockMcGoff]

In-depth but easy to understand. Well done, man! Thanks for the shoutout 👊🏻

[@jamesb1956]

I personally like the idea of an outfit that consists of one staple color but wearing different shades/tones of that single color.

[@retroazul]

me too i never tried it i have to do it ;)

[@onedapperstreet]

yeahhhh one of my faves man!

If my gratitude could be measured in water drops, your place would be flooded. I wanted this so much, extremely needed it. You've given such golden tips, your advice is so useful, comprehensive & extensive, the way you've used examples is brilliant, so many things have been covered and explained....What more can I say! It's a complete package.

[@kenshawnanderson2421]

Tim Dessaint blessed me with this vid

[@soulproprietorDan]

I got a lot out of this one. I try to maintain simple but interesting looks, and I appreciate how subtle it is. I definitely appreciate your discussion of contrast. Great video!!

[@assassinrider5655]

Probably one of the few men fashion channels, which doesnt recycle every video. Especially the last advice is great. Thanks :-)

[@enoch8604]

Wow really never related to any youtuber before about my style. The jeans with a matchig coat and shoes will always be the best look ever.

[@nl294]

I’m a female. I watched thousands of videos on this subject. This is the best one! 👏🏻

N L the hell are u?animals? How bout sayin women or girls instead

legit tips for men in colour matching. this dude really on sleek in wine read and tan jackets, ooh i love those sneakers too!

[@CEPTime2Entertain]

This channel is dope, two videos in, alot of information in a short and entertaining way

[@ItsNickPowers]

The vein trick to identify your undertone was absolutely CLUTCH. So helpful thank you dude

[@elliefreezy489]

I’m quite obsessed with your German English accent here, very thick!! I used to work in a German company and all I could hear if not paying too much attention sounded very German to me. Great video I’ll recommend this to my male friend.

[@archiewallace5313]

Absolutely brilliant. Always been fascinated by colour in fashion but never knew there were so many ways to apply it. Really hit the nail on the head here. Well done.

[@JimChapmansplus]

I've seen a lot about colour theory recently! Really interesting video, Marcel!

[@onedapperstreet]

Jim Chapman thank you brother :)

[@harshftw_99]

Woah Hi Jim!

[@kaan61]

The fact this video is free is absolutely crazy 🤯

[@delaformosa]

You really make a great teacher! I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is but you’re very charismatic and seem like a genuine down to earth guy

[@westfieldartworks8188]

I've found, at least for me, that one of the coolest and smoothest looks is an outfit is one that is composed mainly of " analogous grays." That is, two colors that exist next to each other on the wheel, in their grayer version,,....and of the same value (lightness or darkness). for example: Light Blue Gray jeans, with a Light Violet Gray button down. Dark Blue Gray Jeans with a Dark Blue/Green Gray Henley. Middle Orange Gray (brown) Chino's with a Middle Yellow Gray (Ochre) Crew Neck Sweater,...and so on. You can go around the whole color wheel and find tons of possibilities that fit into this Analogous color harmony scheme. So only slight contrast in Color, with very little or no contrast in Value or Saturation/Intensity of the colors. If the largest items (pants and tops) are made from that, then whatever accessories or shoes you put on will go nicely. I hope that's not too over simplified,..but as a beginner I really find a lot of possibilities with that harmony. Thank you.

[@merlinarthur4072]

that green outfit though 😍😍😍

[@ChrisRawls]

You do sneakers with blazers better than probably any one I follow or know of. This video is so well done it's ridiculous.

[@anuyorker]

I think finding the right colors for your complexion is more important than matching. Assuming people are not combining outrageously incompatible colors, they can combine almost any color that suits their skin undertones. example: With light brown skin and neutral to cool undertones I can rock maroon shirt and teal chinos in the same outfit but my white friends would look tacky with that pairing. On the flip side, I would look ridiculous in something like beige chinos with a burnt orange sweater, but they'd pull it off.

[@bignose16]

I have a different opinion regarding orange, finding it embarrassing against my pale complexion.

[@tastybrownie7448]

@@bignose16 I agree. I think the outfit he described would look tacky on anyone.

[@ianlest]

One of your best and most informative videos to date...thank you, Marcel...we appreciate the effort in this video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lappelduvide2515]

i'm a girl and this works a lot for women's fashion too! brief /and/ informative! thanks!

[@dudeinaleatherjacket]

Great video! I love the look with the brown coat, jeans, boots and the leather backpack

[@iradiakalenz4225]

The last one... yes. Eyes are beautiful and bringing them up through the clothes is a good idea

[@TONYandbrrrrrian]

Thank you so much for the video! been waiting for it! (also hype for being one of the comments at the start of the video)

[@onedapperstreet]

hahaha hell yeah! proof that you were waiting for it ;)

[@TONYandbrrrrrian]

One Dapper Street hahaha well obviously! Been waiting on the edge of my seat ;)

[@sandiscalmanini8096]

❤ new to your channel and love your content with photos. Thanks for the quick study on color as it relates to style and fashion.

[@MagicLink43]

This is basically the best video on KZbin right now. Haha. On this topic anyway. Very well done. I'm looking forward to what you produce next!

[@carlocarvajal6412]

Love the green outfit!

[@tesalsangma]

I just love your sense of fashion. I just wished I was tall. I literally don’t get anything my size most times.

[@DamsterProd]

I wish I was shorter, as far as fashion sizing goes - I like my size in itself, but it's tough to get fitting pants for a 6 foot 4 inches body. Everything has ups and downs.

[@718World]

Height lengthening surgery is the way to go.

[@alddilone]

Awesome videos as usual, where did you get the denim jacket from? It’s so beautiful

[@erikm845]

Great video! Amazing to learn something like that about the different tones of skin and in general the psychological part of how colours work together. And I don’t really think about the different tones and colours, but all these things are subconscious in my mind. It’s all about aesthetics

[@adamgm84]

I usually find a random article that I want to wear, and then build up one at a time, usually pants > socks + shoes > shirt > belt > watch > outer top, then I might switch one out if I get an idea late in the journey. Right now I'm wearing cream coloured puma roma suede shoes with black socks, gray sweatpants with black speckled heather in them, maroon ABERCROMBIE logo running down from the top, and a white t-shirt. Looks killer AF with the off-white and maroon, and I have blond hair, green eyes with teal nerd glasses on, oh and my oak brown wooden watch which draws everything together. I learned these techniques from my girlfriend and basically studying women :) Then I went next-level by studying my dapper brothers from other mothers, and my graphic designer bros (I'm a software engineer)... they are big on colour theory and balance too. All about that design composition baby.

[@justinjeffers7031]

Solid content Marcel, well organized and well spoken; you should do more of the conceptual stuff like this. Your knowledge and ability to present it well is what sets you apart from many other Instagram based guys. Well done!

[@liamcox9043]

Revisiting this video a year after the first time I saw it, still one of the best videos on youtube regarding outfit composition

[@princeishan2220]

What is the outfit you are wearing for this video? The color combination matches very well. I love your videos a lot. Thank you 🙏

[@BillyWiz666]

Any tips on matching two different colors of denim? as in a jacket and jeans. Great video. subscribed!

[@ansarirocker]

Good informative video of u.. always i threw a piece of dress and work around it. Blue, brown, white, black and grey always work with everything. And generally if we like to make a stmt then we have to be confident on it...

[@thatonerandomginger]

What were you wearing in the video!?

[@azfaranwar1362]

So I just finished watching all of his videos and then decided to throw away everything in my closet. I think I may have found a new religion. #1dapperstreet

[@DaniuXiong]

Great video! you can tell you're knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. I love how you have enough footage and pics of yourself to illustrate your point, makes it really easy to pick up on what you're pointing out.

[@rahuljin2]

This is my favourite fashion video on KZbin. Please do more theory!

[@MrFersitos]

Great advices!! No, I haven't think of my skin and hair tone as parte of my daily combination!! Thank you so much!!

Such an Amazing topic to talk about. I really like most of your contents.

[@polf9784]

Hello my friend. What do you thinkabout matching blue sneakers with olive trousers or shorts. Because I have heard that these two colours doesn't match a lot.

[@eT3TheXreX]

Yes please! Amazing topic and amazing presentation. Thank you Marcel!

[@MrPinoshow]

Amazing video man! I was waiting for it. A bit of an unrelated question: I fell in love with the striped linen pants from Zara, and I went to buy them along with the tshirt. I also had a white relaxed linen shirt I paired them with. What else can I pair the pants with? I'm stuck in a corner 😱 Any chance you could put up a post about them on your blog with some different looks?

[@onedapperstreet]

thanks bro, glad you loved those pieces too :) check my IG this summer I'll be wearing them a fair bit, I think they generally go well with relaxed button downs (like a linen), all sorts of t-shirts, henleys, tank tops. Best if you keep the top color solid since the striped pants are already pretty busy!!

[@ahmedsaid3888]

MrPinoshow U would love then those stripped pants from nohow featured in a very recent video ... Dope !!

[@MrPinoshow]

One Dapper Street I'll be sure to keep an eye on it then! Thanks

Hey marcel another great vid. I wonder if you can help me out. I brought a pair of extremely yellow trainers spontaneously (Adidas pharell HU tennis shoes) how can I incorporate it into an outfit thanks

[@brycethalackal890]

I love using colors in outfits, but could you go into more depth woth color as a statement? I enjoy mixing bright colors that go together, usually blending the 2-color theroy but with a lot of colorful statement pieces that compliment each other on the color wheel. Super colorful outfits would be a cool video imo

[@srinathkumar1452]
