00:00 Outfit Upgrades Introduction
When preparing an outfit, it helps to know a few tips and tricks. We’re talking about styling tips, choices, and accessories that take a perfectly serviceable basic look. Taking the time to enhance a basic outfit will make it easier for you to craft unique ensembles. These enhancements also improve the adaptability of your clothes giving every item in your wardrobe new pop and sparkle.
00:48 What is a Basic Outfit?
A basic outfit is any outfit that features a minimal number of essential elements and no extraneous detailing. A basic outfit can vary based on the styling. For Contemporary Casual Style, a basic look could be as simple as sneakers, jeans, and a tee shirt. In our preferred Classic Style, a basic outfit requires a few more elements.

Little known fact: 50% of the success of GG is the way Raphael and Preston carefully enunciate words.

Just here to hear him say “Dapper”

Hello! Could you please do a video of a complete style guide for men in the tropics/humid places where we can only wear a single layer lest risk leaving a trail of sweat where we walk? Much appreciated!

Idk. I felt pretty young in my jeans and t-shirt helping my friends push their couch up to the third floor.

[@Lordrixson5489]

I love those grey leather gloves Sven! 👌🏼

[@Manuel421]

Excellent content as always gents. This channel has truly inspired me to improve my wardrobe so I truly appreciate all the insight. I honestly wish I could wear my Dark striped suit more often but I managed to get a few casual blazers that feature patch pockets which I find more versatile and appropriate for any informal event. It gets extremely hot out here so my blazers are unlined cotton and the other is a Wool/ Linen Blend although not sure of the lining but I assume it can be worn in warm weather as well. I will definitely double check.

[@doug6259]

I always wear a fedora with a suit. Hats are a great addition to any wardrobe. In fact, I always wear some type of hat when out in public.

[@marciocorrea8531]

me too! everyday!

[@marciocorrea8531]

I believe hats are good not only wirh suits, but also with leather jackets and...dark blue indigo jackets (please don't shoot me on that...)

[@marciocorrea8531]

on light colored clothes fits better light colored hats (straw, light blue or very light gray).

[@themoderndandy713]

I'm big into hats, too! I wear them every time I leave the house. My hat of choice for felt season is a fedora, but I've been known to wear homburgs, a bowler, a pork pie, flat caps, straw hats such as the Panama, boater, and straw pork pie, and even a couple top hats with formalwear, one of which is a collapsible opera hat from the '20s! The only hat I'm not that fond of is the trilby. I consider it the less elegant cousin of the fedora.

[@robo2606]

I never leave the house without a hat 🤠

[@dandiehm8414]

Raphael - you forgot to highlight the BELT. And you guys sell those too! Can't wait for the next video. Please do a broken suit next. Two thumbs up!

[@cinescamillo1]

Could you do a video on Belts vs suspenders. When you should use one over the other; and the different types of suspenders and belts. Also, when not to wear either? The No-belt look? No suspenders? Just perfect fit …is this a thing? 🤔

[@jaycowper]

The biggest no is wearing a belt with suspenders together. The other thing is when wearing a vest, you must wear it with suspenders.

[@themoderndandy713]

Belts Pros: More "normal," works with casualwear. Cons: Leather gets ruined easily, restricts your waist, must be matched to both leather and metal. Yes: With casual looks, two-piece suits or sport coats, and especially with equestrian wear. Never: With suspenders, with a waistcoat, with a stroller, dinner suit, morning coat, or evening suit. Suspenders Pros: Non-restrictive, more elegant, holds trousers up better, works with more formal looks. Cons: Requires the sewing of buttons on to trousers. Yes: With a waistcoat, suit or combination of any kind, stroller, dinner suit, morning coat, or evening suit. Never: With a belt or with clips. The No-Belt Look I personally like this look, even with belt loops. It's a bit of a modern fashion faux-pas, but I personally dislike the workwear aspect of belts and don't like untucking my shirts. I think it looks fine. When wearing a tailored jacket or some sort of covering, though, I wear suspenders.

[@armandsant1143]

Wow awesome color schemes

[@JGFowler121]

Amazing!!! Always waiting for the next release and this one is a gem 💎

I always feel adressed with this casio 😅. I wear it often, because I cant afford expensive watches in young age.

When Raphael sees a Mark&Spencer suit:MY EYES!!!

[@blakemcnamara9105]

As someone who wears suits every weekday, there are times when I'd rather not think about my outfit so I'll wear a white shirt with stainless steel cufflinks or barrel cuffs and a conservative tie that goes with any of my suits.

[@steelwarrior105]

I need the big collar clips to come back GG. Please

[@gentlemansgazette]

For now, we'll say: stay tuned! :) - Preston

@Gentleman's Gazette alright then, keep your secrets ;)

[@Michael_R1957]

Love this video. Always enjoy when you get back to classic menswear. I really like the look of the basic outfit, especially with the vest. That’s something that I have to try. Still searching for my own style. By the way, do you think that you could wear something like this with a flat cap, or not? If possible, please let me know. Thanks

[@gentlemansgazette]

It depends on the flatcap. A super tweedy one, may not be the right fit, a solid colored one could work though

[@Michael_R1957]

Thank you very much.

[@marciocorrea8531]

good job!

[@TheRealIshkabibble]

I'm a fan of the entire outfit. Never been a wingtip guy. I'll wear the Italian straps I'll wear the the loafers. I'll even wear some new bucks with a thick sole. but I can't see myself wearing wood tips I've tried. I just can't get past it. Well I'm new here so I'm going to watch probably another two videos a day. until I can catch up for the past 10 years.

He wasn't wearing wing tips. He was wearing cap toed Oxfords with some broguing. There is a difference.

A correction - the original James Bond wore a Rolex Explorer in the books. Sean Connery wore his own Rolex Submariner 6538 as Bond. I wear a steel diver on a bracelet with a suit.

[@mjf2377]

He wore an Rolex but the model wasn't mentioned I think. However Fleming wore an Explorer himself what makes me believe he had an Explorer in mind while writing. Enjoy your Steel Dive👍 I can see this go along with a suit. Is it one of their Submariner homages?

[@KRW628]

You are correct, sir. Fleming only mentioned "Rolex" in the books; not a specific model. My "dress" divers are a Seiko Sumo and an Orient Neptune.

@@TheSultan1470I'm not sure where your 'What' came from. In the UK part of your taxes go to the 'Sovereign Grant', which mainly pays for Royal property upkeep; there is no option to not pay this. Most of the extended Aristocracy do not get any of this money and live off the income from their land and investments; they own about 1/3 rd of the UK.

@@themoderndandy713 The only way to pull it off is either being old, bald or live in the capital city. That at least applies to the UK. USA? No idea.

[@themoderndandy713]

@@danbee415 I'm a firm believer that style is all about personality. I'll grant you that hats like fedoras are often worn by neckbeards and those with no taste in style. However, fashion fails to take into account individual personalities and preferences in favor of homogenizing humanity. I wear suits and ties daily, complete with a pocket watch, dress hat, opera pumps, and occasional dress cane. I once had a friend tell me, "If you show up in casualwear, I'm calling the police." I am naturally a formal, anachronistic person, and as such would look as pretentious and out-of-place in the trendy looks of today as Danny Gonzalez would look in morning dress. It's all about being true to yourself. Conformity, in my eyes, is the enemy; the crushing of one's very being to be accepted into a group of others who have done the very same. Melodramatic, yes, but I believe in a total democratization of style. There is no logical reason for everyone to be expected to dress the same. It provides no moral, pragmatic, or humanitarian benefit. It is simply conformity for conformity's sake, something us humans are bizzarely wont to do. For me, I'm going to keep wearing my three-piece suits, hats, and red neckties. I just hope those who dress in a trendy way do it because they want to rather than because they feel forced to in order to be liked.
