I bought two sun (summer) hats a few months ago, because this is my first summer without hair. I wasn't expecting that direct sunlight would actually hurt my shaved skull. Wearing a diver with a suit - absolutely!!

[@rush2redline]

Very happy with this video. All of my peers dress like hiking bums in the summer and I understand why because its cool and comfortable, but I want to be that cut above.

[@fashionandfrags]

You and Aaron both built me up. I lost weight, built a wardrobe, gained many good habits, self confidence and more… but I just ended it with my ex and we live together. It will probably be at least a few months before that ends. I actually would like to keep her as a friend. She’s a nice girl. I’d love advice on how to live with your ex.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Keep it up Mike. You're doing great.

[@jcronin3155]

I don't think you're meant to live with your ex dude. Get out fast.

[@fashionandfrags]

@@jcronin3155 we just ended yesterday. A real move out will take a bit of time.

[@bocagelandscape]

Try to speed up the process of moving out. It will be better for you both. If you have to live together for a while, just separate your lives as much as possible. I'm talking separate rooms, bathrooms, cabinets, drawers and fridge compartments and a schedule for weekends alone in the house. It's like quitting smoking, starting a diet or having an exercise routine, you'll need to commit in order for it to work. Especially in the first months or even years.

[@ineedtochangemyname5803]

I hate when no show socks slip down in to my shoe. Wearing a sz 15 it’s hard to find ones that fit.

[@SansAziza]

Have you tried brands from a country or state with an average size closer to yours? As a talking tree stump myself, I'd consider Mexico or Wyoming.

[@lb9817]

Hi, Antonio. Of those I have seen, linen trousers / shirts tend to look a little "crunched" with many creases. I've also heard from family that they're difficult to iron without getting a big distinct crease. I speculate this is either caused by folding when stored away or quality. Sorry for the long paragraph, just looking for advice from one of the most stylish men on the planet. 👑

[@arunstalii3666]

These summer essentials should be my all time essentials as i live in a tropical place and it doesn't get cold unless it rains heavily for a long time.

[@KBowWow75]

I got Reynaud's Syndrome. I get by just fine with thick socks in the summer. Extra cushion, and I don't like the look of bare feet in shoes anyway, so I guess it just worked out for me. Reminds me of playing baseball on hot summer days.

[@williamkazak469]

Thank you for the video and discussion. I suggest getting a few good sweatshirts. They can be found in almost every color. Just pop one on with chinos, decent shoes. A great way to try colors that you may not have considered.

[@jpjp9111]

I just found a nice linen jacket for $8 at Goodwill. It mostly fits. I'll just need to tailor it a bit.

[@q-storm767]

If one must go sockless, invest in efficient foot powder or do what I do: insert fabric softener sheets inside your slip-ons before slipping your feet inside and it will prevent foot odor.

[@dakotarayprice]

I wear Blue flannel blazer with my summer wool dress pants at oxeford dress shirt with kint tie

[@EJNOVA]

What color shirt pairs best with navy blue pants?

[@christophersandoval2587]

Antonio where do you recommend getting loafers and driver moccasins?

[@brianaw220]

The first two he showed looked like Paul Evans, not sure about the drivers, and the rest of the loafers were Jay Butler.

[@felix121984]

My feet smell better than your feet !

[@cdelucamobile]

Great timing on the video and great content!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Antzus81]

Antonio I'm confused on point of fabrics, here. For trousers, summer-grade wool is said to be even better than cotton, and surely both these better than synthetic. But you suggest synthetic for a light jumper (sweater)?

[@JuanCAraujoS]

There's no shirt for the summer like a guayabera! You can dress it up, you can dress it down, it can be casual, it can be elegant, but it is fresh like no other.

[@Antzus81]

I looked them up. They DO look very comfy + classy (a hard combo to hit)

[@JuanCAraujoS]

@@Antzus81 Indeed, and you can even wear them on a wedding.

[@parmenidesofelea9092]

What brands of loafers would you recommend?

[@giova8593]

Where one can find this type of weave(gauze weave) is it on the label ? Or is there some online specialty store ? I ask because i live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and this is the type of clothes that i need to buy and wear basically all year round

[@parmenidesofelea9092]

Hey antonio, where do you get your polo shirts?

[@wileyallen1545]

I like to just get some new canvas shoes for summer. Cheap, low maintenance and just toss away. I do nail in some Blakeys though to save the heels. (I don’t throw those away! 🤣)

[@iflyfa18s]

I’ve got them all except the summer sweater. I’m thinking of adding some blue and beige suede loafers to accompany my leather tobacco penny loafers. Thoughts?

[@parmenidesofelea9092]

Where do you buy your loafers? Also, which brands have you purchased. Thanks!

[@iflyfa18s]

@@parmenidesofelea9092 My loafers are Allen Edmonds, as are a lot of the other shoes I own. I’ve tried different brands, but they were the most comfortable for my feet. My boots are Thursday Boots.

[@kennygordon70]

Yes, go for it!

[@daveLU323]

It is very hard to dress sharp in the south Florida heat and humidity. The sweat just pours out as soon as you step outside and doesn’t evaporate because of the extreme humidity.

[@charleswilbur8765]

I can’t stand when you wear a pair of sneakers with no show socks but the rubbing in the achilles area creates a small laceration

[@Emanuel_carey]

My monk strap loafers will be waiting on me that I ordered. I spent the weekend cursing my no show socks at my fiancée’s cousin’s open house. I’m just going to be sockless

[@jrandom2995]

Yeah man. I’ve tried several sizes and types and had to give up on them. They all slipped off. Just go sockless.

[@Jebro439]

Great essential list

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Glad you think so!

[@chriswright1126]

What kind of no-show socks do you recommend Antonio or anybody?

[@karlr750]

It's going to depend on your foot, because most no-show socks cover a range of sizes (e.g. men's 5-10, or men's 8-13, etc.). You want to choose a pair that's snug on your foot, so they don't slide down. Since I have a size 10 foot, I want a pair that's meant for men's 5-10, which will fit snugly. I should avoid the pair that's men's 8-13, even though it technically fits, since it will be looser and more likely to slide down.

[@bocagelandscape]

I've got the light-weight very low cut for loafer style shoes. Make sure these have the silicone bands on the sides so they don't drop off your heel. For my slightly higher shoes like some sneakers I have the ankle socks that are made out of ordinary sock material. They work better and aline with the shoe so they're not to barely visible.

[@donwarner6925]

I don’t think I could ever get behind no show socks. I just can’t do it.

[@vedantsharma5310]

Let’s clear this up, No Show socks are a no go, Im sorry but I learnt from my master.

[@vedantsharma5310]

Wear colourful, patterns, but not no show

[@SteelRoninTT]

I hate no show socks too. I don't feel like a regular crew sock made much of a difference anyway, plus when it's over 37c outside, being naked would make you hotter.

[@bocagelandscape]

Have you asked women's opinions on this?

[@Niko76239]

It is too damn hot in KY to be dressing up…love the video though

[@philipbacani9400]

Sunglasses pls...

[@richardbehrendt65]

Hi Antonio. Love your channel. Just finished subscribing to GG. Very unhappy with them Pretentious and out of touch with the real world. We do not live in the past. In saying that, your channel is up to date, actually makes sense and you promote backpacks. GG dislike backpacks with a passion. All Your advice has been great. Have subscribed and will continue to. All the best. Cheers. Richard from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

[@raybaggett718]

I feel that it's nice to have the perspective of both channels. The Gentleman's Gazette is classic and Antonio is modern. Both have great content.

[@richardbehrendt65]

@@raybaggett718 Yes I never think I would hurt any one person or another channel. 'Classic' can be viewed in various ways. It's an ever changing world, with even more changing fashion trends. Sometimes the classics are great (time and place) but I like most of what we all embrace as trend. Anyway great advice. Not belittling GG just not my style. RMRS is just a whole more up to date.

[@iansoutryer3189]

Why not wear BOAT SHOES? I don't know why they are so underrated. They are lightweight but they look like "real" shoes. And they come with a flat or a thick sole.

[@rockofullr]

Boat shoes > loafers

[@akepogujoelnavaneeth1278]

First!

[@FJano12]

Still not sure about no show socks . Too feminine. Ok with shorts though

[@Jae20818]

I bet they are nice In Miami though!

[@felix121984]

So what do your feet smell like ?

[@YasirKhanLodhi]

Antonia. Your contant was better then many others but as your popularity increses, Now most of the time it feels like i am not watching something informative but an advertisement of different brands wich are useless for me and nobody cares how many brands have contacted you to sell their items. Make some criteria that remove all the uselss stuff of advertisement from your content so that we can feel that you really have some genuine suggestions and not advertisements to offer. I use to watch you every fresh video but now its less infomative and more advertising so i am losing intrust in your content and i think many people will agree with me those who are silent viewers and dont bother to take time to give you sincere suggestion. Its a sincere advise from me .Hope you will work on it.

[@itismeal]

Man law number six: a grown man, particularly over the age of 50 should not be using a backpack!

[@mitchchandler3604]

Don't say "Hence why..." it doesn't make grammatical sense. You should be saying "Hence..." or "Which is why..."

[@Amiiiinnzzz]

Some are good, some are bullshit. A dive watch? Really? Why? a backpack? To put what in it? A charger? An out of style hat and leather shoes? Another layer of skin to get hot in? Really? Useless.

[@SimoneMX950]

It depends on your personal taste, but I suggest you to try them and then decide, rather than reject them regardless. As an example, I was very skeptical about those "outdated" summer hats, but I tried a Panama hat once and not only I felt very comfortable in it, since its open weave is breathable and lightweight and the wide brim keeps my eyes and face out of direct sunlight, but also I got a lot of compliments for the look, then I decided to buy one myself and use it quite often. Don't get influenced by those "fedora guy" memes, being afraid of looking like a neckbeard guy or something like that. I don't know why old style hats get all this hatred nowadays but I think that memes play a role in it... I also hated linen garments because they're prone to wrinkling, but after I tried a linen combo (linen shirt and linen-cotton blend trousers) I immediately changed my idea. Moreover, I can agree with you talking about some types of leather shoes, but take a look at suede leather desert boots. Casual but sharp looking, lightweight and unlined construction... They're a natural fit for hot weather. I use them quite regularly and I feel better wearing them rather than those "breathable" sneakers. So yeah, if you had a try and didn't like the look I can understand, simple difference of tastes and opinions, but otherwise I suggest you to have a go first. But yeah, I understand you about dive watches (redundant) and backpacks (redundant as well and not stylish, unless you're involved in road trips when you have to carry a lot of things with you).

[@Amiiiinnzzz]

to put it simply,most of the stuff is not for everybody. The hat was an exaggeration on my side I admit ,and it might work if worn right,but for most people it wont work, and thats why I said its bullshit. but the other stuff,I stand my ground.btw I didn’t say anything about the linen garments.Thats something most people can appreciate.

[@SimoneMX950]

@@Amiiiinnzzz actually I said that about linen garments to bring a personal example of being against something without trying it first, then try and change my mind about it. The fact is that, as you rightly said, you have to choose a "dress code" first, and then dress accordingly. So if you wear a semi-formal Fedora with cargo pants and a graphic t-shirt hoping that it can elevate your outfit, you just look awkward and lacking self-awareness. A Panama hat is more casual so it can be pulled off with some good selected casual clothing.

[@karlr750]

Personal tastes differ, but most of those suggestions make a great deal of sense.... Dive watch: A wristwatch is one of the few pieces of jewelry men wear, and it has the ability to dress up almost any outfit. If someone is just buying one watch (rather than a small collection), then a dive watch has the best versatility (ultra-casual through business professional). Since it's waterproof, it can also be worn during summer activities (e.g. beach, pool). Hat: Protects the eyes, face, neck, and particularly scalp (for men who are balding) from damaging UV rays. If someone chooses an out-of-style hat, rather than one that suits them, that's their choice. Backpack: Easy way to carry a water bottle (for hydration), towels (to the beach or pool), a glasses case (so I can switch between my regular glasses and shades), a change of shirts (if I get too sweaty)… I'm certainly not carrying a backpack everywhere, but I will carry one some of the time. I've even been known to carry a portable charger and cable in my backpack. Leather shoes: I'll wear them on days when canvas/fabric shoes wouldn't be dressy enough (e.g. at work). I'll also wear them when it's rainy, since leather is much better at repelling water, and they're much easier to clean mud off of.

[@YakubibnEsau]

If you get a hat, go with a really nice hat, and not something you picked up at Walmart or Target. A lot of hats look bad because they’re cheap. Hats are great keeping the sun out of your eyes.
