Stylish and Broke? || Suiting Up On a Budget || Men's Fashion Advice || Gent's Lounge

[@assortedberries1117]

How about stylish, heartbroken, full of anxiety and broke as fuck

[@migueldecarvalho8012]

Dude, watch some Tony Robins. Change your state of mind. Since I started to watch that dude I joined a band, played in local clubs and shows, began to write songs and learned to budget and save. I've also got a new job that pays better. Decide to change. Or not. It's really up to you.

[@michaelpohlphotography4704]

I love the J. Ferrar Suits. Their 34R Super Slim Fit fits me great off the rack,, and I have my tailor take the sleeves up a tad. Depending on the sale you can get them for $150 to less then $100. I just picked up a Charcoal 3 piece for $105. Can't beat it.

[@martinwagner7619]

Great Video but what bothers me is that Suits from Fast Fashion brands like H&M and Zara always have that "fashion cool" attitude instead of the "classic dressy" feel (I don't know how to describe it else). Most likely it's because I'm not a big fan of those very skinny ties and the small revers which looks just ridiculous IMO. But sometimes sure you can get lucky and for students like me who just want a suit for fun (instead of a everyday wear at the job) it sure is a good option.

[@cadetflamen12]

Philippe Bucher or the Salvation Army/goodwill

[@leonardschumann9212]

Really like the atmosphere of the new videos, not ad-driven as some others. I personally think some brands (e.g. Hugo Boss) make overpriced suits usually one type of cut just in diffrent fabrics, have seen a fully lined linen Suit with quite some padding, for me that's the total opposite of what linen stands for.

[@Carlos10642]

"Shop on a budget" "buy by looking for great prices" Great video fellas!! Love The Tie Bar as well. H&M and Zara are stepping up their game with quality and it looks sharp also. I help some of my friends over here in Boston on shopping and looking sharp (image consultant) .. they LOVE my input. One item is coming from indochino which I recommended. Can't wait!! You guys are an inspiration seriously. 🙏🏼✌🏼

[@MATRIX-221.top.g]

Im 16 , and this video is really helpful. I'm always dressing casual. But i want to change that .

[@pskarts20]

If you head by K&G they have suits wool suits for $100 to $200 . Plus check out your local Tailors where I live in CT at Vanentinos you can buy a really nice RTW super 250 wool suit for $550 and includes tailoring. For high quality suit that is not bad.

[@j.r.5803]

Really good indeed.

[@thebigblazinb6903]

Thrift store suit, Bought it half off for about $4. Used my sewing machine, and tailored it myself. If you learn basic knowledge of a sewing machine you can tailor anything easily. Suit came out great.

[@bryannatividad575]

I started off with a blue suit and a lighter blue plaid one. I also try to buy vintage suits that are fairly cheap. I’m talking $10-20. As long as they fit, it’s awesome. I stared off with one white shirt and built it up to 20 dress shirts, that fit well from TM Lewin//Charles Tyrwhitt. And my ties from The Tie Bar. I started off with 3 ties, and I built it up to 30. I always focus on shirts first when I buying a tie. All my ties match my shirts in one way or another. It’s all strategic. Know what you have, and build off of what you have. The blue and grey suit as start offs will always finish off your outfit perfectly.

[@elgordo9028]

closet tour ??

[@JimmyL.Jaime97]

Good video, brand mentioning is a big help!

[@hyperboy38]

This video came just in time ! I've to get a suit for my cousin's wedding next year & I'm planning to re-wear & alter my suit that looks baggy on myself now. Or just get another suit that is fitted in another color? It is because, the wedding is in a beach resort hotel.

[@ddatsme1]

Shopping on a budget requires research. What brands make affordable clothing in your price range. Go into stores that carry beans your like . Feel their clothing, try it on. See who carries a similar product but at different price point. Learn the at of thrifting which sometimes leads to finding vintage and/or classic high end pieces at a fraction of the price. Take care of your clothes , research dry cleaners and tailor shops or friends that may know someone who is great behind the sewing machine. Find a brand that has a good variety of colors and sizes. Also least how to put pieces together to make an outfit and make a statement. This is my formula for my wardrobe.

[@smittyboi1755]

Alright guys, not sure if you will get this question or not. But here it goes. I am 6'1" and right around 300lbs. Body builder type body. Looking for a suit online to make. It seems every site I go on. The biggest they go up to if 52L. That's a problem, because I am a 54L. And usually the mid section is huge, and have to have work done to it. Which is fine. I have all my clothing tailored to my body anyways. Any info, please throw it down here in the comments. Thank you !!

[@anglishbookcraft1516]

Try going to goodwill and find a 1,000 dollar suit that isn’t too short and fits in the shoulders and have it tailored. Make sure it’s a double vent and no pleats on the pants.

[@Izanagi2072]

Steady, gradual improvement is the name of the GL game. Keep up the good work, boys

[@gentslounge]

Thanks David!

[@thomashobbes7429]

H&M, Zara, Combat Gen, Top Men for young men.

[@glenjohnsonii3198]

You know H&M carry low quality clothing right?

[@jurgenforster8314]

£5-£25 for my suits. The rest is for the professionals to mingle with. #charityshop #england

[@stylishoversixty9459]

You gentlemen always offer some great advice on how to improve your self image appreciate how it can be achieve to dress well on a limited or fixed budget clothes really don't need to cost a lot to look good on you I find a lot of my nice clothing items at resale or thrift stores a simple trip to the dry cleaners and no one really knows the difference on how much you spent fantastic video thanks guys!

[@michaelsperanza8818]

I must have 20 jackets and 4 suits. Numerous pair of slacks, 40-50 shirts, a dozen pair of shoes, a hundred + ties and bow ties. All first class stuff. All of my friends wonder how I can afford to dress so well. ............ The Salvation Army, Goodwill, local thrift shops, Savers, etc., are my go to stores! ....... and I have a very good, (and reasonable tailor). Dressing well is a hobby that I enjoy! Also estate sales. I went to the estate sale of a gentleman who was an editor of the Washington Post. I picked up 10 beautiful Italian silk pocket squares for $7 !! It’s a lot of fun!

[@kenneth7826]

Brother Michael..very nice..you are a smart consumer

[@mrspiffy66]

eBay is great for ties and pocket squares.

[@stanvillegas5291]

You guys are great, The chemistry is great, And the info is great ! Keep it up ! Your on the way!

[@jayiix]

six years later. thank you guys. subbed

[@bibu2030]

Im more of a smart casual guy so for me the easiest hack is shirts... Have like 7 plain and pattern shirts. I couple this with Black,Grey,Maroon and Navy Blue khakis so my looks are endless.

[@richardvazquez4247]

I have never had a suit in my life. Sincerely. What could you recommend me?

[@beastateverything2.07]

Guys you don’t need to spend just under 25 dollars for a tie. I got 5 amazing ties for 30 bucks all together just from Burlington. Always check and look around

[@carolwhite4782]

Buying a luxury branded fashion wear can cost you a lot. But if you are a smart shopper you can buy them on your budget. There are online stores like Dynacart.com where you can buy them at a good discounted price. You have come up with some great ideas as well. it will help people like us a lot.

[@ponce1968]

I watch all these ESPN TV programs and I starting to see all these broadcasters wearing sneakers with suits. What is your opinion on this topic? Thanks

[@edvas625]

HAHAHAHA...Thread count!!! That made me laugh out loud.Daaamn,great job guys love your channel and content.

[@clarencemate1270]

Doing bits again in this video. Really helpful 👍🏻

[@PicoFromTX]

What do these guys actually do for a living ?

[@gentslounge]

This.

[@guesswhat9359]

i would also say they probably invest which can make you alot of money if you know what your doing

[@jcordoba2003]

Thanks for the videos!! Can you guys do a video on dress shirts. On good brands at different budgets, quality, and fit. I also just heard about the brand Twollory, wonder if you've heard about it.

[@gentslounge]

Yes sir!

[@kelechinwokoro5397]

You guys are doing an amazing job. Well done guys

[@gentslounge]

Thank you!

[@3dgrandson169]

Man I come from one of the worst places in America and all you guys videos so inspiring.

[@DaDutchGuy95]

Important when shopping thrift is to look THROUGH all the garbage. 90% is going to be rubbish, out-dated or just ugly. Look for the jewels on the bottom.

[@MegaFastalex]

Indochino has 51% of custom suits... Thats a win

[@2random542]

I’m not broke , but I live like I am. Thanks for the suits.

[@pinkpanda3329]

For budget shirts I go for Charles Tyrwhitt. I get 3 for $100 with a free tie. Nothing can beat that price

[@pinkpanda3329]

Anthony Okeiyi get ShopStyle. It's a great app to find deals. I find brands and styles I like and the app notifies me when they go on sale

[@tedmcrobie2756]

What do you guys think of the iTailor?

[@russellmoorecomposerpianis3944]

great video guys!! I was wondering, in more traditional cut suits I'm a 36 but in slim cut suits, if buying from an online tailor, should I size up or stick with my original sizing? thanks so much in advance !

[@gentslounge]

The shoulders should fit the same. The slimness will come in the waist and arms of the coat and the taper of the pants. -G

[@abdulkhafidsulaymaan]

Loving those Double Breast suits on both of you Gents. I screen shot a dozen times trying get them. Make a video all about DBs.

[@winstontimmermans7816]

George's beard looks way better like this

[@MattDo]

Winston Timmermans was just about to comment this. Couldn't agree more! But when winter comes it can be grown out again haha

[@Rungunseattacos]

When do you wear a suit, personally? I've never invested in a suit because still, at 30, I've never needed one. Unfortunately men and women just don't dress up anymore like they used to maybe 20-40 years ago. I wish people still wore suits to go out to dinner and things like that.

[@gentslounge]

Trust us. It's the same way in LA for the most part but we still dress up. You'd be surprised the reactions you get when you walk into a place in a suit. Espescially, if you're not required to. -G

[@Rungunseattacos]

So when do you typically decide to wear a suit? Dinner date? Drinks with the guys? I'm just trying to think of when I could take the opportunity to wear a suit.

[@davidfischer9186]

When do you want to look like a G?

[@kenneth7826]

Nice job gentlemen

[@spate93palel96]

what material is the suit

[@adamr3813]

1:28 where is the suit from?

[@Reignunlimited]

Why did you guys remove the flag from your background ?

[@GokkunGuru]

Blake’s laugh when he says he gets compliments all 3 times he wore his gear. Lol

[@GokkunGuru]

When one is broke as fuck, the last thing on one’s mind is fashion. Fashion is a hobby when one has disposable income. Food, shelter and fuck come first when one is broke as fuck.

[@DBrownofdc]

Are you guys designing for bar 3?

[@gentslounge]

No we are not. We are working on some fun stuff though!

[@asiantrick24]

No one can tell the difference, but you do and that's what matter ...lol..i kid i kid

[@thecrusader8606]

Budget question: Do you iron your own shirts or send to a cleaner?

[@jedi-hamster5329]

It's not hard to learn how to iron at least on the basic level and it will save you a lot of money and time

[@thejbjournal]

Dig this video bros

[@crisyorke1328]

I have a budget Stefano Ricci blazer of about 5.4K USD. LOL

[@1xraydoc]

I wish that guy would wear socks...imo it just kills his look.

[@gentslounge]

Not going to happen haha. -G

[@seanjohn864]

good vid as usual

[@j.r.5803]

Unfortunally better the tailor more expensive his work is. But yeah an average tailor makes a good job still.

[@gentslounge]

Yes sir

[@jancedricmicheler6122]

The Italien Gentleman Pitti uomo

[@manamez]

George - you have an athletic build wearing streamline suits. Looks snug.

[@simongaywanjala598]

I wouldn't recommend a black suit for any beginners. It's not versatile. Black suit is only for funerals. Stick with the classic dark navy or grey if u live in a city & brown if u live in a country.

[@eturbo97]

It's a blatant lie that no one can tell the difference between a $600 Stefano Ricci and $10 H&M tie by a quick glance.

[@eturbo97]

H&M makes horrible suits. That being said, still love your videos

[@gentslounge]

Not everyone can afford a $2000 suit or a $600 tie. Sometimes you have to work with what you have and we believe you can make what you have look good no matter the price.

[@eturbo97]

I would suggest J Ferrar for good suits under $100 instead of spending that same amount on H&M. As for ties, Tie Bar and Thrift Stores.

[@j.r.5803]

Maybe u cant tell the difference. But you can feel the difference. PS: Its kinda hard not spotting the diffrence though. Although if a person never saw a 2k suit the 500 ones are the best on his eyes for example.

[@haiden.jaimes9409]

first one here in comments

[@chitownxring1444]

So you title this video Stylish and Broke yet you are wearing a 700.00 dollar and a 300.00 dollar suit.. WTF is that!!! I am not hating as I have watched all of your video's but I clicked on this one because I am on a budget and boy was I disappointed.

[@magicmike6961]

2:15 when you see it.
