When I go out into the world, I see plenty of well-dressed men who look put together and confident. Unfortunately, without fail, I also see plenty of poorly dressed guys who either don’t know they’re poorly dressed, or worse: they’re doing it intentionally because the “don’t care what people think”.
Of course, there’s really no such thing as “not caring”. We’re all signaling something with our clothing choices, and nothing is more ironic than trying to convince people how little you care. Thou doth protest too much, if you know what I mean…
These poorly dressed men are easy to spot. They have certain “tells” that give them away instantly. In this video, I’ll reveal these signs so you can make sure you’re not making the same mistakes. And, if as you’re watching this video, you realize that you don’t make any of these mistakes, congrats! You’re an impeccably well-dressed person.

I think (and it's not a sign but rather a reason) that many men are actually not confident enough to try dressing well, they're afraid of going out of their comfort zone, away from style they knew from early teenage years on or from their main influences that didn't dress well either. I used to be afraid to try new styles because I immediately thought "this wouldn't suit me, I look ridiculously, I can't wear this" when, in fact, not trying had this effect.

It's based on the flawed assumption that some people are pretending not to care. Bullshit. I genuinely didn't care about dressing up all proper like two years ago. He's pretending like dressing up is as natural an instinct as eating. It's an egoistical and selfish statement refusing to acknowledge that not all people share his thought process.

I'm glad I'm not an offender in any of these style mishaps. That being said, I'm pretty much abhorrently against the white sneakers trend today. Unless you stay on top of them by cleaning every time you have a moment, they can ruin a clean-looking outfit with scuffs, stains, yellowing, etc. A white trim or laces is fine but fir longevity's sake, I'll stick to darker shoes.

As someone who didnt give a crap for a solid 15 years. Looking back it's kind of sad to see. I'd have T-shirts with the collar streched out and the T-shirt being worn to crap so it just didnt sit properly. Bunch of extra fabric around the stomach for example. Just a tiny bit of effort makes a big difference.

Don’t worry , I also started late in my appreciation of dressing well . I was a part of the punk generation X and while we had some style it was usually a it of a jarring style . It’s never too late to appreciate beautiful clothes that are well made , well suited and well worn and it needn’t cost a fortune either . Just a well considered suit , blazer , shirt, trousers , coat and shoes that might cost a little more at first but will last a lifetime , seems worth it in contrast to buying the latest fashion that is usually not appropriate for us , is cheaply and hurriedly made and having to throw it out every year or so. I learnt that fashion and style are very different things .it might just take us a while to learn how to appreciate our own style without chasing the superficialities of fashion . When I see old footage from the 20s up to the 1950s I’m envious of how easily people seem to look,so elegant and stylish almost without trying .which is perhaps the perfect example of style . It’s als9 so much nicer and rewarding to be confident in one’s own classic style and clothing and it perhaps allows us more time to be concerned about what is important in life , which being well dressed seems to also help us recognize ! It’s a win win .!

If you love that t-shirt that’s a size to big, don’t be scared to wear it! Fashion is all about self expression, its ok to go outside the norm. I love this guide on how to look like you care about what you wear, after all you have to know the rules before you can break them!

My advice on trends is similar to what you said in the video, to use them as opportunities to try stuff out. For instance, I recently started wearing relaxed pants due to the trend. They work well on my long and slim frame, but it's probably never something I would have just tried instinctually. It's good to be plugged in a bit to these things so you can try switching up your look every now and then, and even find long-term favorites.

When I started to listen to this video, I thought that I would be guilty of all of them but no... I feel that dressing well also has to do with your lifestyle and your occupation. If I was asked the way I like to dress, I would look like a "vintage Dapper Dan", dressed like a "mob boss". And yes, I happen to do so, feel comfortable and very much feel like myself. However, I can't dress like that every day because I have two jobs, one of them being a cleaning agent. Some times in a month, I would also do some outdoor job. But I haven't found any way to look more formal, with an outfit which would fit my two occupations. I dress like an ordinary guy in his early 20s (I am 10 years older) and lucky me, I look like that age with my small high (158cm) and my baby face, though I never dressed with sweat pants, clothes with shouting logos and never liked bright colors. But deep inside me, I wish I could dress better. Any ideas or suggestions for people in my case?

I think there’s some truth and values in this video, but I also think that dressing conservative and basic is fine, but you shouldn’t push your beliefs into others, some sees clothing as a form of self expression and if they want to break the stigma about how a pants and a shirt should fit I have no issues with that. Fashion is more than just a white t-shirt / navy pants / Ralph Lauren shoe and carrying a suit case. But again that just my opinion

The examples I use from Ethan Wong, Brian Sacawa and the FW22 J.Crew lookbook sort of prove your point: you can play with colors, silhouette, bolder pieces, etc. and look great. The "signs" I'm talking about in this video are usually seen on guys who aren't trying at all. Sometimes guys who are into fashion make these mistakes as they figure things out, but like I said in point #6, trying too hard is better than not trying at all. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way!

I totally agree. Showing no effort is a reflection of the self. Especially in more specific things like skin care and hair. Dry lips are not cute my guys. The rest is subjective and debatable. You can mix match and add different texture to a fit that adds a dimensional element of couture, you can use a monogram which a lot of designers to make a look stand out. Not everyone is a midwesterner who where’s neutrals color theory is different from one person to the next. Fashion itself is multi lingual and dialectic, but I do appreciate those who put in the effort.

The reason is this, men past the age 30 who dedicate half an hour every day to style their hair, and plan out what to wear for the day are feminine men, they are nothing to look up to. And how about leaving yourselves out of the story of someone else's poor looks? If I, a stranger would want to offend you I would need to give a s hit about you first. Keep styling your hair and beard, people will not care about you the same amount.

"Dressing well is a form of good manners." Source - Fashion designer. How strange that this person who has a definite vested interest in people following fashion trends thinks that fitting fashion trends is a good thing. I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to dress in a way that makes people think well of you. That being said I don't think it's wrong to dress in a way that makes you comfortable. And most people will do both of these things in their life. But 95% of the time you don't need people to think well of you outside of specific circumstances(working in sales, job interviews, dates, acting, going to get bank loans) situations where you are essentially selling your image. The rest of the time the average person doesn't need to sell their image and it all boils down to how they want to feel. Some people would rather feel as though they are pretty because they've dressed up. Some people would rather feel comfortable. Sometimes these goals can coexist, sometimes they don't.
@be5952

It's _"...a form of good manners"_ because if you're well groomed and well dressed, then other people in public don't have to be around someone who has no *sense of 'place / location appropriateness'.* Feeling _"...comfortable...",_ as you put it, these days usually means the person goes to the store in stretched out, stained sweat pants, an old t-shirt that looks like something you'd wear digging a ditch (also likely stained), worn out, dirty trainers, an unwashed face with their uncombed hair everywhere and a general vagrant look. Just...no. To show up in public looking like this shows a sense of selfish disrespect for anyone in your immediate vicinity who has to look at such a disheveled mess. While not critical, it indicates a mild contempt for your fellow human beings. Deportment like *this is another example of the extreme self-centeredness* seen everywhere in Western societies today. So many feel no responsibility toward anyone but themselves. We can see everywhere around us how _that's_ going.

@luke5100 it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious to attribute a man’s lack of fashion to their intentional commitment to an image of indifference. It justifies narcissism, turning it in to a heroic act. I totally agree that there’s a lot of guys out there that don’t really care that much for fashion, and have different hobbies. Doesn’t mean they’re trying to project an image of indifference 🤣

Those are pretty good pointers! I have some others that are real pet peeves if mine, which I instantly see and cringe. 😬 Having shirt collar points that don't extend under the jacket lapel. It's a sure sign of a cheaply made, trendy, tiny collared shirt. Another sign is collar gap. If your suit/sport coat jacket's collar is standing away from your neck, it is poorly fitted and most likely poorly constructed.

I enjoy your content…as a shorter guy myself I look to you for some tips. However I’m probably about 25 lbs heavier but have a stocky / somewhat muscular build. I agree with logos, I have some Lacoste sweaters and polos…but there are people who wear way too much “Gucci” or “Burberry” and it just looks tacky and I’m always questioning if they are buying fakes to try to flex. Good video thanks for the contect

Just read a couple of your blogs, well said. I find that a couple of things are always left out. For instance color palettes are often regional, I remember early in my career was a recognition that color east vs middle vs west are different in color, weight, shade and tone. Then I read success which amplified some of my beliefs. I was influenced by my father who dressed well, as musician as well as business person (always planning for future events). He wore bespoke clothes down to his Pendletons which he handed down to me and I got many extra years of stylish wear out of. This was a guy who wore Zoot suits in 40's for gig's and a natty double breasted for after hours.A fan of wools, wool/silk wool/cotton in different weights depending where he was East Coast was different then West and St. Louis famous the acceptance of naturals and browns as well as the type of overcoat one might wear as well as shoes. It said you are a local. Sometimes I think that "you can wear anything" is part of a individual local aura with cut and paste on the side. People in years pass always made fun of Western wear (yes suits) but it was a nod to regional history. Just as historically in the middle ages French clothing and style was different from English or German. Anyway your thoughts struck a chord with me. To repeat well said please continue.

The first time I went to Europe, it suddenly struck me how poorly most Americans (including myself) dress. People dress much more consciously there, and even for a simple night out or running errands, they are smartly and appropriately dressed. China, on the other hand, loves logos. It's so important to show that you have money that everything has to be adorned with logos. And it's not all just knock-off stuff. There is a ton of money there in places like Shanghai, and all the luxury brands have their biggest stores there because the market for logoed or easily recognized brands is huge.

I have changed over the 5 years depending on my mental health. I like smart clothing and where I live ( Spain) men usually wear comfy not too smart. I wear suit jackets quite often, chelsea boots in winter or loafers in summer. People usually compliment me or say I’m too smart since most guys wear t-ahir ya, Jeans and shorts and flip-flops in summer.

Hey Brock! I follow all what you say on this post but I need to say looking too flat can make one look insipid. Certain fashion trends happen as a result of different social and cultural events, some designer houses reflect than when they create their pieces. If looking noisy is bad, looking as boring as one just walked out of casket is terrible.

Fit makes a massive difference just a few dollars to tailor an off the rack shirt or pants is worth it. So many people wear shirts with the shoulder seams at their bicep level, a shirt waist so baggy that could hide a small child in it, pant legs piled up like 1980 Flash Dance leggings very common (me included), baggy pants too so many people with baggy pants. I had some wool pants tailored and they were the best thing I ever wore, I felt so good plus wool is an amazing material.

4:25 I lived in Asia along time end the business class folk there seem to be all about showing off the logos on their clothing. In Korea for example, where I lived a long time, The big clothing brands will design a more flashy, logo prominent version of their clothing lines for Korea. It’s kind of annoying. (This is all anecdotal observations, I’m not sure what really goes on behind the scenes). But the typical scene at an Asian airport as you see a 50/60- something wealthy, overweight businessman wearing an LV belt with Gucci shoes and some other brand of shirt and pants that doesn’t fit him well, with a girl half his age and a bunch of plastic surgery walking with him lol
