Timeless Elegance: Mastering the Art of Stylish Dressing

[@johnparnell8571]

Excellent content Chris. The use of your back catalogue of images are perfect for illustrating the different dress code styles in the discussion. To me, they epitomise the very essence of what The British Dapper is all about.👍 As gentlemen, there is nothing wrong with aspiring to be the best version of ourselves, and where better place to start than with the clothes we wear. This video offers a wide variety of style ideas to help get us started, and if we are prepared to go the 'pre-owned' route for certain key items, it needn't cost a fortune. Regardless of what we are doing socially, we never know who we are going to bump into that we might want to get to know a little better. Whatever the circumstances, we only ever get one chance to make a first impression. Let’s make it a good one!

Hi John, glad you enjoyed the video and the use of my back catalogue of imsges to demonstrate the differing levels of formality. I totally agree with you, that we should aspire to being the best version of ourselves and dressing is one of the bigest visual ques to other we invest in ourselves and have an attention to detail, above that of many people in this day and age. Again, I'm in full agreement with you John, you never know socially who you might bump into and might want to impress or get to know better and first impressions definately counts👍🙂

Great video Chris. For me stylish dressing can also be informal, certainly if the material is elegant and of nice quality.

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi Sjoerd, glad you enjoyed the video and I agree with you stylish and elegant dressing can be still achieved with the ensemble if formal or informal 👍🙂

Unfortunately there aren’t many places left that we can dress up, there was a time people put their nicest clothes on to go to church and that dress was called Sunday’s best.

The question is what you see a dressing up. When you come from hoodies, pajama pants and crocks to wearing chinos, dress shirt, sport coat and dress shoes, yes it can be seen as dressing up. In my mind the described look with the sport coat can be your everyday look. When you do it on a regular basis, I guarantee you, you will not see it as dressing up anymore.

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi there, there is always somewhere to go dressed up, its just the level of dress you are talking about. Yuo should consider events in your area, that you couldf dress up for, charity events etc, or clubs or groups to join. I would note that Kay makes some excellent points👍🙂

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi Kay excellent points and observations by you👍Thank you for your comments👍🙂

[@douglasdietz7503]

Cheers to that!👍

[@TheBritishDapper]

Yuor welcome👍

Great video Chris. I love to see the British Warm. I always wanted one but could not find one in my size yet. Msybe one day I will. I strive with my style for the middle of the style range. Not outdated but also not trendy. Timeless like Cary Grant.

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi Kay, glad you enjoyed the video and I agree with you the British Warm is a great addtion to any persons wardrobe. Your consider approach to being timeless like Cary Grant is a great way of hitting that middle ground between fashion or traditional and not looking to dated or to trendy - Classically stylish to in my opinion on point 👍🙂

[@bazzabhoy8270]

​@@TheBritishDapperGreat video Chris. Cheers

Very insightful Chris. I agree with you on dressing well and stylish making you feel good about yourself and invoking confidence. I always tend to Carry myself better when I'm dressed nicely. Don't rush and carry yourself with confidence and be a respectful gentleman. Cheers Ron

Hi Ron, glad you enjoyed the video and its content. Nice to hear my comments resonate with you👍🙂

All the outfits shown are excellent. You really are THE BRITISH DAPPER! I love the beautiful shine of your shoes; it shows a great deal of dedication and attention to detail. Please DO NOT promote sneakers! They are only to be seen at the gym or on a tennis court. 😁😁😁All the best from sunny Buenos Aires! PS: Is the beautiful dark blue overcoat shown at 5.15 a military garment? It looks wonderful!

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video and its content. I always clean my shoes and tend to give them a little mirror shine just for good measure. I only mention sneakers as the are very common for that casual look and the boating scene, but I promote the use of traditional shoes. The Navy coat is not a military item, but it is a fine example of a british wool coat 👍🙂 best wishes from the UK🙂

Hi Chris very Good vidéo and style it s always sorry for my english thank you. 🇨🇵🇬🇧❤

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi Patrice, glad you enjoyed the video and its content. Your English is good and thank you👍🙂

[@williamkazak469]

Very good video. One problem is finding places to go while dressed stylishly. One must consider the lifestyle, the usual routine. Also, it should be considered that we should not become "collectors" of a nice wardrobe. We should have what we can and do wear. Not a closet full of nice clothes that do not get any wear.

[@douglasdietz7503]

Just wear them and make it your look.

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi William, dressing stylish starts with you, when it comes to life style and routine, I acknowledge it can be awkward to find opportunities to venture forth to find venues, clubs and acquaintances. Dressing stylish is something I personally strive for on a daily basis, and Douglas makes a very valid point wear them and own your personal style👍🙂

[@seansimmons73]

I'll wear a nice suit just to go shopping at Walmart. 😅

Hi Mr. Chris. How do you feel about suede hole cut shoes? Some say their pointless as hole cuts are supposed to be formal but others say they go great with tweed. I think suede brogues are more me, but would like your opinion

[@TheBritishDapper]

Hi Sean, I love suede wholecut shoes. Whilst leather wholecut shoes are considered to be formal, there is a difinite place for the suede version of them. They go really well with more informal suit wears (especially in summer). They also go extremely well with Chinos, flannels and even jeans as a stylish addition to an ensemble, which would include tweed. Italians love them and I would argue that if there was no demand, then why would some of the most prestigous shoesmakers in the world make them. 👍🙂
