10 HABITS OF THE STYLISH MAN - HOW TO LOOK YOUR BEST IN DAILY LIFE

[@TheChapsGuide]

Are there any habits that I should have included that assist in your gentleman’s journey. Let me know in the comments.

[@b-dogswings8019]

My tailor is a Russian seamstress with a no nonsense attitude as to what will work and won’t work. Her pinning skills are amazing. I have never had cause to complain. I take to her, good quality, but second hand garments, and she transforms them into perfectly fitting suits and jackets. Thank you Svetlana.

[@georgejames4206]

I would like to express my gratitude to you. Your teachings have had a tremendous impact in my life. The qualities of respect, confidence, outstanding character are just a fragment of the values for which I am indebted to you. Best wishes!

[@TheChapsGuide]

It is my most sincere pleasure to assist in any gentleman's journey towards self-improvement, as my own journey has been helped by others. Best regards, Ash

[@wstks-fmworldwide5390]

Yes, yes, yes!!! And a fantastic jacket by the way.

[@WeeCarBoot]

A stylish man knows that he should unbutton his jacket/blazer when seated. Our host's attractive ensemble looks rumpled, because he's neglected to unbutton his jacket. There's an easy mnemonic: 1) Whenever standing, do up one's jacket. 2) Whenever seated, undo it. Simple. One will always look better.

The message of the content is that rules can be broken once u know them.

[@w4447]

As a Florida resident I cannot express the enormous practicality of a pocket square,tie,or boutonniere for a splash of color. I don't have great skin tone so I tend to stick to earth tones. So to wear a paisley tie in green, teal, and pink with a pocket square with just one complimentary color and a boutonniere to bring it together is huge.

[@COLDMKULTRA]

Too true Ash ... mental and physical health are key. Without such ... "everything else" becomes unimportant.

[@viclucyzia]

Sadly over here a real tailor is seldom to find and very expensive. 'Regular' tailors for simple alterations such as trouser lengths are no problem. I have that book and studying it. One habit I learned is to prepare my attire the day before if there is an important occasion coming up. This avoids stress on the next day and you have time to examine better what would be the best to wear and how.

[@SightNSoundBand]

I love the sport coat, tie and pocket square Ash is sporting in this video...extremely well put together...

[@cjroberts1000]

Spot on Ash. Especially the finale

[@ColinRussell-o4l]

Great video, Ash - thanks! Been "woken-up" somewhat by your videos over the last couple of months. My wife is wondering what the hell has got into me...😁

[@waltski4375]

Thank you very much for the advice. Good habits take time and effort to implement but your investment in both will pay dividends in looking stylish and longevity of your purchases, as I have learned the hard way. Now, it is time for me to be a rebel......bring out best brown suit and get ready to go into town for dinner with my wife. ~ Cheers!

[@jonnygun6]

Every man in the world needs to watch this.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

If you often dress up 🎩 or wear formal business attire.

[@allgold8003]

The tan developed from frolicking in the woods is on point and contrasts wonderfully with your attire.

[@rovercoupe7104]

Very good, thank you. I like to button my jacket when standing and undoing the button when sitting. M.

[@frankies.5269]

Hi Ash, another great and spot on video, with major essentials for a well dressed man ……best regards from Sweden 👍

[@victorhobson373]

Hi Ash exellent video once again magnificent advice to all us chaps out there!!! splendid jacket and wow what a tie.

[@andrewashdown3541]

I don't know if this has been covered but clarity of speech, cleanness of diction and care in the choice of words are things I appreciate, especially as I get older. Behind these, the foundation, if you like, lies preparation - mastering your text and practicing what you have to say. This is something increasingly lacking among television presenters, including, unforgivably, those presenting the news. Full marks to you on that - I do believe I detect a slight Welsh lilt? The Welsh are particularly adept in this area.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thank you sir.

[@charlesf.roland542]

I love ❤ the orange 🍊 👔 tie !!!

[@brian6326]

Excellent content Ash.

[@JMD1965]

'Dress your AGE' is the best advice for any man!! ...and yes, having a style icon (Grant, McQueen, Clooney) can always give you inspiration.

[@SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

Speaking of "oxfords", something I find very strange is that many shoe companies also don't seem to understand what an "oxford" shoe is, as they frequently list Derbys as Oxfords. Weird.

[@melvinmckinney9120]

Sound advice Ash. Very informative video for all gentlemen to watch and learn from.

[@streetsofsouthphilly]

Good all-around advice. You and I are the same age and you are right about age-appropriate clothing.

[@paulbrown5661]

First class video.

[@RoryPattonDreamerOfDunsidhe]

Another very enjoyable video. The only thing I might have added might have been a note on context, that is to say that the rules vary from one community or subculture to another. And in your portion on health I would have made a greater emphasis on personal hygiene.

[@regsantotomas]

As someone entering into my 50s soon, I truly appreciate your channel for its information and genuine integrity. Your content and overall video production seem to be improving each time. I really like the unpretentious and non-shouty style you have. Keep up the great work. On an aside, I will be headed to London/Paris in December so I definitely plan to visit some ateliers. Maybe you can do a video of your favorite or most recommended shops in London for men's style.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thank you for the kind words. I would love to make a video on my favourite London stores and hope to get back to the capital in the very near future. But as a rule of thumb, if you walk the length of Jermyn Street ( and Burlington Arcade) you will see most of my favourite mens stores. Have a great time!

[@regsantotomas]

@@TheChapsGuide Thanks for the heads up. St James and Jermyn Street are definitely on my list. I also plan to stop by and see the Glasgows at George Cleverley to check on my commission. We are staying at the Thistle on Conventry St. so I'm glad that I seem to have made the right choice in booking location. My wife does plan to look for a hat at Lock & Co. as well. Cheers.

[@ivansikora1834]

Thank you for holding our hands Sir

[@TheChapsGuide]

My pleasure

[@JonasM.M.]

8:25 I actually bought my Oxford and probably will buy many of my shoes in the future at a local store where I live in Germany, they produce their shoes handmade and had welted

[@bigbadbith8422]

Happy Saturday, Ash! We'll have to start calling you Thanissaro Jones. May the Bench of Contemplation bring you to even greater Sartorial Enlightenment, sir.

[@markwalsh6714]

Great video. Totally agree you can look great on the outside but you need the inside to radiate as well.

[@courtpaul9334]

1 of the things i've noticed is as we men are getting older some men don't focus on our teeth sufficiently such as teeth whiting & not that yellow teeth 😬 look, teeth straightening & a fresh breath.Nice neat hair grooming.clip your nails 💅 we need to discuss that more that are my thoughts.

[@kletts42]

I am about your age and I really like dressing my age now. I feel better in my current clothing than I ever have. I'm glad you joined RMRS network. I enjoy your videos immensely!

[@rezaulmiah6438]

Your jacket... its just pure elegance. I want it but couldn't pull it off like you do!

[@guitarplayer5611]

Excellent advice!

[@mrrichlivinglarge]

Ash, awesome video! Being stylish is a process and a philosophy and you’ve expressed these elements perfectly. So glad you have shared these ideas

[@jasonreilly6155]

He's one smart guy

[@lynn5447]

Great video. I particularly appreciate your last point, care of self. I just turned 80, so "formal" dress tends to be Sunday's church, but I still enjoy doing my best there. And I agree that trying to look like a youth is silly. After all, reaching 80 is a victory! And I dress classically, so my wardrobe will be appropriate forever.

[@alamore5084]

I am hard pushed to add anything to this list (but that won't stop me adding my 10 penneth). You called it about right and did not let us down by incuding your final crucial point. The need to look after ones self. It can be difficult at times to apply this, especially when you have a family to look after and lots on. Looking upon you yourself as 'The Old Clothes Horse' is an apt analogy. You would not overwork, malnourish and fail to groom a horse. Then expect it to last the distance. So do take the time to invest in yourself. Exercise regularly. Eat well. Ensure you prioritise this, as well as allowing enough time for sleep. Plan ahead for the next day. Maybe one 11th bonus I could add to the list is, be prepared. Bring a brolly, a small flask, a hat, a torch, spare power bank for your phone, a packet of mints. You get the gist. E.g. some general chap paraphernalia which could come in handy on your journey through life. Stay safe everyone and wish this Chap Community good health as we draw towards the close of 2021!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Some great additions to the list and extremely valid. Thank you for the contribution.

[@richlander5874]

Sound advice👍

[@corystreat7605]

Great video as always!

[@freddecker2407]

I dig that jacket!

[@Sm0k1n4ces]

Thank for all the great content, Ash ! Subscribed. Regards from Portugal !

[@TheChapsGuide]

Welcome aboard!

[@stephenlegg262]

Very interesting video. Thanks.

[@patricknevin7304]

Ash , that outfit looks very smart . I’m enjoying your your videos a lot 😊 thank you .

[@michaelwimmer1063]

Love it. Thx

[@0017Bulldog]

So glad that I found your channel. You are awesome. Thank you for all that you do.

[@DaddySantaClaus]

one of my tailors is also my dry cleaner, the man does miracles.

[@johnbunton9177]

Excellent advice, Ash, on avoiding items that do not play up to one's strengths. -I've always wanted to wear a bow tie, but with a bullish, seventeen-and-a-half inch neck, and a rather broad face, this particular sartorial choice just doesn't look flattering on me.

[@j.b.2333]

Fantastic outfit Ash, you are a true inspiration 🤩

[@VIP-rp3oq]

Found Sunspell through bond lovey cream polo. Not cheap though. But a British brand. Be around since 1860 !

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Good advice Ash. How about wearing military medals on civilian clothing. Where when and how. Cheers Ron

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Fantastic stuff Ash! I could listen to you for hours. Everything makes sense and it is said with great eloquence. All the best!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@countvespasian1659]

Marvellous video, theres a few ways I need to shape up sharpish!!

[@brentbrevard4387]

Another good video. Thank you. I need a bench of contemplation.

[@Jack14432]

On point as always, love you bro!

[@angelo8516]

Another excellent vid🎥 on Men's Classic Style!👍🎩👔👞 Thanks Ash, for all your insights and thoughts on Men's Style principles. Anybody can "dress up"... but not everybody is "well dressed"! The difference is in the details!🎨👞👔 If a Man looks his best when he's well dressed, then why doesn't he want to do that everyday?🤔 Anyway, just food for thought!💡I enjoy you vids and look forward to more of your content on elevating Men's Style! Again, Thanks Ash,👍 Cheers!👞👔🎼

[@TheChapsGuide]

My pleasure!

[@matlindell5022]

Nice tie !😉

[@lynn5447]

I have found that the secret about a mirror shine is that once you invest the time in acquiring it on your shoes, maintaining it is really quick. A dusting with brush and cloth, followed by a dab of polish leaves you gleaming. A minute or two and you are done. At this point, I can get a mirror shine in about a half hour if the leather is good.

[@FAS1948]

I used to have my suits made, but I discovered that I am a perfect stock size, so I bought off the peg. Now I'm retired I don't need as much and having owned almost everything for between 20 and 60 years, but because I look after them, most are still as god as new. As for fashion, I set my own, but classical style remains acceptable.

[@wysiwyg2489]

Additional item: Same as your tailor, find a good, trusted barber to take care of your hair style and make it a habit of grooming (finger and toe nails) every so often. I am sure you covered this on different videos but I'd add them as good habits to have.

[@mikefortney7879]

I like your sport coat, but in my humble opinion it would have been absolutely perfect with a black tie and an orange handkerchief. When I look at you all I can see is orange. But it’s still beautiful.

[@Fush1234]

How about talking about SPREZZATURA, what it is and how it works. ?

[@ABC-rh7zc]

Dry cleaning should be used as a last resort only - it is quite damaging to the fabric.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Correct, a steamer or home cleaner can refresh-update a sport coat, suit coat. You do not need to run men's items by dry cleaners constantly.

[@JonasM.M.]

15:51 I must say I am a great fan of a signature style just take the Kingsman for example I just find a test something to always be wearing the same suit every day. It must be the same attire but this one component that always stays the same in my opinion can have something like a steel point in a very quick flowing river could also be the Thai but just having one part of your outfit that doesn’t change I somehow just like the idea of that I personally have a double breasted pin striped suit which I really just about to wear every dayas long as it’s not too warm or too cold for it

[@JonasM.M.]

10:24 I understand what you’re trying to say one should not try to forcefully look young if one isn’t and you would probably say that one shouldn’t try the other way around either though I think it’s really a lot about how one pull it off like for example, I am still quite young and quite far away from your magical 35 as well just in the other direction but I love to wear the kind of suits someone in his 50s or 35 would probably wear someone like Sean Connery or a Jenner Branagh or even his Majesty, but if I try to dress fitting for my age, it will probably end up being quite casual and not nearly as sophisticated and elegant as I adore it

[@minty448]

51, that’s amateur hour, try being 63 !😀😀

[@lynn5447]

King Charles does not wear a pocket square when he wears his medals on his suit. Of course, no pocket square with a uniform. Ash, I think your dress is right up there with Charles‘s. Difference in budget, of course. I am sure all his suits, shirts and shoes are bespoke. And probably a huge array of clothes.

[@JonasM.M.]

7:03 it’s no real critique but I’d like to disagree. Actually there are a few addresses where you would always get the best product of every category. Just look at Rhodes wood a little shop somewhere in Britain which I found on KZbin and I don’t see anything they don’t offer or Hawes And Curtis a German Street shop who you’re also going to buy practically everything from you need to dress well that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make sense to look elsewhere to see if the shop you so very often buy from still has the best pricing and price quality in comparison to other ones, but in general yes I think they are a few shops who actually do offer a pretty much all the gentleman needs of course except things like food but I think you know where I’m heading

[@Crazy_Joe_Davola]

I need a bench of contemplation where I can ponder men's style.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Im 53. Id say 25 is a ideal age. You are still young but you are more mature, adult, know what to do, where to go.

[@sandravillafuerte7421]

I like well dressed gentleman...Like tailored guys.

[@peterolbrisch8970]

When you go fishing, it's not a fashion show out there. There are way more considerations than looking your best. You wouldn't be wearing nice shoes for example.

Do you smoke fine cigars?

Very occasionally

[@lordcaruthers9943]

This is a rip off of the chap magazine and other older content on you tube, cringy!

[@TheChapsGuide]

I think you will find that The Chap magazine does not hold the rights to the word 'Chap'. The content of that magazine is entirely vintage focused - this channel is very much focused on the contemporary chap. All content is cyclical on any social media platform, it is merely the interpretation of the topic from another viewpoint. And if you want to talk 'cringy' I suspect that you do not actually hold a peerage 'Lord' Caruthers - now that is cringy!

[@lordcaruthers9943]

Oooh nerve touched 😂😂

[@francisgiordanella7998]

Excellent, sound advice !!!
