[@nabihbawazir8019]

@@wrecker699 agree, he often use tight trousers especially in calf area, we know he has huge calf for his torso, but loosen the fits make the look better in my opinion

[@Karim_Caillol]

I totally agree !

[@bryanleejh]

1. tone on tone/tone in tone 2. point, small thing that draws attention 3. don't look try hard 4. unexpected charm 5. 3 color rule 6. put your own spins on trends

[@itsmikego]

This right here is what benefits all YT comments. A succinct summary at a glance. The main points in a 5 second read, with the video as supporting evidence. You're an asset to the community.

Thanks!

[@poetsrear]

Didn't even need those, as he made it so concise and straight into it.

[@furyberserk]

When I was in school for graphic design, my go to for color was white, black and red. It appeared so much it looked like it never failed, and was the only time a color could be as saturated as possible without me hating it. Beyond that fashion was about contrast. Light/Dark, thick/thin, tight/loose, big/small, reflective/flat, complementary/analogous, plain/accents, but then just layers. I'm not a fashion person. Quick question do you think tone on tone is better or worse than tone in tone. And personally as an art fan, I consider skin as part of the 3 color rule, so no shorts with layers. Lastly, should of the 3 colors, would it be bad if the 3rd color and the point have the same saturation. It seems like it'd be confusing on what's matching unless it's a hat you can remove.

[@jkoizoratravels]

From someone who have been into fashion for the past 10 years, these advices are fantastic and fundamental. I see a lot of comments about "nothing beats getting into shape". Now that is very true, but these tips Wanhee is providing will elevate your appearance and confidence no matter what your body shape currently is.

[@aweshumandy]

facts. it's like martial arts. a tall buff guy with no martial arts skills can get taken down by a smaller guy with great martial arts skills. a fat guy can definitely be more fashionable than an in shape guy. however, a tall buff guy with great martial arts skills likely can't be taken down by a smaller guy even with tremendous skill. so yes, becoming fashionable and getting in shape is the tall buff guy up to with great martial arts skill but you can still beat out all the normies who don't make the errort.

[@jinggu.]

a tall chiseled man could still look bad in a v neck

[@synergyrevolution2332]

I agree with most of what you said but as someone who has been in shape since high school all the way to adulthood, I will tell you, you can absolutely look ugly as hell if you're not dressing well. Understanding that is why I click into videos like this even when I am in shape.

[@ashhhh0333]

Getting into shape was by far the best thing that happened to my fashion. I'd recommend reading Health and Beauty Mastery. If you're out of shape there isn't a piece of clothing that's gonna make you look well-dressed, that's just the reality.

[@damnpirate1259]

soooo not true. I am lean and horrible at dressing, and I have so many fat friends who look amazing in what they wear. There are just people who know how to dress, and people like me and others who don't, and glad that Wanhee is helping with it a lot

[@Grumpyoldman666]

@@damnpirate1259As a former fat guy no, it’s waaaaay harder to look good when your obese. Clothes fit like crap, hard to find nice clothes in fat guy sizes, trying to hide body shapes etc. Having a fit and muscular build is a cheat code. Everything fits easy, if it’s a touch tight it just shows off your build.

[@geetjoshi9541]

I totally agree. I constantly try to find cool looking clothes, and they look good on the model but when I try it the whole solar system explodes. I'm buying cheap clothes till I'm jacked.

[@LM10Aryan]

​@@damnpirate1259even normal clothes look good on good looking people.

[@thatstuffsimple446]

Is crazy how many people believe to this bull crap i born in Korea and most of Korean wear same stuff over and over again 😂 U will see 20 people on train wearing same clothes 😂 Most people dont know what fashion truly are its mean u can wear freely without worrying about othet people opinion Now fashion all about looking good being uncomfortable paying high price for low quality clothes Most of people i know hate new fashion and people who selling this trash are laughing at because they know ur idiots 😂

[@KrisH544_d]

Thanks for the video because one of the pillars of fashion are the Koreans, mainly for how they use accessories to elevate their outfits, but do you know of any wallet that is fashionable?

[@Akhan776_4]

I'm not sure what the trend is among Koreans regarding wallets but I imagine it's the traditional brands.

[@KrisH544_d]

Wow, what a disappointment, I really would like to buy one that is not used so much on this side of the world hahaha

[@Akhan776_4]

Well, I've seen that on some European channels they've talked about some Vionentus in any of their models.

[@KrisH544_d]

How many models are there?

[@Akhan776_4]

I think they are the smartvn400 or the slim110 but I'm not sure

[@quantum-222]

Cold region people have to wear cloth in layers. So that they look cool. Go to hot region and do styling.

[@chtmc3815]

Same here in my country, we can wear only one layer. Those leather jackets could give us a heat stroke 😭

[@poetsrear]

Listen I live in Finland and all of those warm cozy looking knitwear, wollen shirts etc. remain unused most winters, and the comfy-ass old hoodies get cycled to shreds 😂 To me it's couple of good heavy layers and keep em zipped up. I look better than most tho. Spring & autumn are best seasons for stylish clothing.

[@poetsrear]

Hot region TRADITIONAL style is sick though! Long, wide clean cut linen, side slits, natural white, maybe a brownish black long vest, arabic round hat, wooden beads & low processed leather sandals. Something like that is very clean stylish look. And I could never wear this, because the little warmth and sunshine we get during summer, you don't cover from but want to take it all in 😁

[@MrThistleMilk]

​​@@poetsrearYou are thinking arid desert hot not tropical hot. Even a vest can give you a heatstroke in 100% humidity

[@jztouch]

@@MrThistleMilk Korea is extremely hot and humid during the summer. They still look great. Their summer traditional clothing is very nice as well although not many wear it anymore.

[@sungers4929]

[@wanheekim]

I got you bro

[@synergyrevolution2332]

It be like that. I thought I was stylish until a professional dressed me up. I thought my style before that moment was an 8 or 9 and after it, I realised it was only a 4 or 5 at best.

[@kaysianrain9203]

People definitely seem to love when you suddenly switch up what they expect to see you wearing. Cool and mysterious to warm and inviting

[@edwardduarte7393]

I like that advice. You can wear jeans with a vintage tee. Sports jacket the next . When you wear a sports jacket people treat you different. Simple subtle colors. James Perse is a great men's store. Stay in SHAPE.

[@edwardduarte7393]

I used to work with Esquire Japan and those dudes/staff dressed soooo cool.

[@nebzila]

Phenomenal video. I'm from the UK but I used to live in Korea. You summed up all of the important points really well. Obviously some of Korea is on another level in terms of style but generally I feel like most people there understood the basics and I wish the west did the same. You've got a new subscriber. I'd be keen to see you talk about Korean style more (not just with clothing)

best fashion advice i've seen this year

[@Abbyyena]

Exactly!

[@prashil3k594]

After consuming 50+ fashion/ theory advice videos. This is the best one I've seen yet. If I had to watch only 1 video that explains how to dress well in the easiest to understand and remember, it'd be this one.

[@rosendovandamme5926]

It would be great if you did more of these types of videos. I would like to learn more about Korean fashion and culture.

[@wanheekim]

Thank you!

[@agoogleuser3241]

Fashion in Korea is mostly simple yet well put together, what makes Koreans stand out is that they are always well groomed, hair is always on point, they are clean and then they are all contrasty, very black hair, eyes and eyebrows with fairer skin (either naturally or due to products) this, with their extremely common use of black and white creates very balanced yet sophisticated looks, they often throw an accessory like a cap. However, outside this there isn't much, you then have the dressier ones which are, again, simple but clean, it is not all that common to find Koreans outside the norm because they are a very homogenous society where standing out from the crowd is not good. Women obviously have more choice and they add more dresses in warmer months. Another important thing about Korean style is that they are mostly thin and their clothes either fit or are bulky, whichever style they use they balance it well, for example, a ton of young people wear bulky pants/tshirts but they add bulky/clunky showes and a cap and it looks quite nice because it is matching. However, if you look at their progression, after age 30-35 most Koreans downgrade quite a bit, typically post marriage when they have a baby, they often wear more comfortable and dressed down like sweat pants and regular sneakers for comfort then, at around 45+ is when the golf gear comes in, specially women and then it is just a mess of colour and weirdness with the same gold hats that look ridiculous plus colorful sneakers, that is a total no fucks given but because everyone does it they don't stand out if that makes sense. Not that many people remain elegant and many people go very casual as well if they don't have office work without putting much attention, just sticking to black and white. Outside Seoul people care less about style or have less money for that but in Seoul there is a ton of competence, specially between, say, 26-32 when they enter the work force, have more money and can buy Guccis and Louis Vuittons (which is crazy over there)

[@davidlam8611]

This is a standout 'How to Dress' video on KZbin, one of the most helpful I've seen since 2006. It’s impressive that you covered topics others have overlooked!

[@mgurcanli]

don't know how i stumbled on your video but you've done something for me that others haven't. you took all of the general rules people have about fashion and you put it into context, and it just makes sense. i think my two favorite tips are the point and not wearing more than 3 colors, but the point especially. simple, effective, and can be implemented into my routine right away. great stuff mate

[@IfSixWasNinePlusNine]

Best, most comprehensive, video on men's fashion I've ever seen. Well done!!

[@LaymensLament]

this is surprisingly tame and useful. never thought about fashion but i like the way colors work together so maybe i give it a try.

[@jokubasgaucius8639]

I dressed intuitively my whole life and only in the past couple months was I starting to think why some outfits work and some don't. After watching this video everything makes sooo much more sense!!

[@seanpkrueger]

Good tips for certain, but I'm always vexed by this topic because unlike the aesthetics of a good physique, clothes trend more subjective (imo). Fashion trends ebb and flow wildly and it can be a real bore trying to appease society's "right way to dress". Ultimately I think there's some basics and classic looks to memorize and your video certainly helps in that regard.

[@deeplyfeminine865]

I studied many how to dress guides and never heard the tone thing. love it.

[@archieandrews7759]

This should have million views. Very helpful.

[@Mhadyourfriend]

A fashion course in 8 minutes, thanks dude !

[@erosivy]

Also studying your own body proportions and trying different fittings of thing that helped me change drastically used to wear a lot 9f graphic clothing or brands but I changed to be more plain, with patterns, texture and more diverse colour-wise

[@casbox2667]

These are legitimately amazing tips

[@Ray03595]

You explained everything so well. This is fantastic advice, thank you!

[@alexeiulinici]

Thank you great tips, and you get right into the topic. Also, you have a very nice way of speaking and your haircut suits you very well.

[@Mohan-h3w5l]

Very nice information. That No.3 Don’t look try hard, I noticed it in one of my Japanese friend dressing style. He looks casual but stylish without trying. I always wondered how he does that. And No.4 Unexpected Charm, when I was a teenager my grandfather who was from rural village told me once that if I wear traditional dress one day all of a sudden when I usually wear casuals, I will look different and unique. I am in surprise now that your No.4 point reminded me of my grandpas advice. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Inconsistense]

Good video! Also Yasuto Kamoshita always looks great, nice to see him used as an example in a video like this.

[@lucasferrer7005]

GREAT TIPS, tried myself and definitely feel a difference in people's reaction!

[@GoldenGod69]

Im in my late 20's now but just started getting into fashion last year, I didn't even know but I naturally use a lot of these concepts. And have learn from my failures of trying to hard

[@davef5916]

surprised there wasn't much about fit or proportions, tucking etc but great advice and easy to follow, thanks!

[@MrSebboxxx]

When you are lean everything looks better on you 🙂

[@KITKATHERO]

Literally why all male models are tall and lean

[@ethanklemm1800]

Aspire to become better than yesterday

[@damnpirate1259]

the posture is also the key here, no matter how lean you are, but if you don't keep your posture, you still look miserable, just not in an understandable way. Like you see that everything is great, but something is off.

[@gastonhitw720]

Not true

[@bloodberry55]

Does the phrase "clothes makes the man" not ring a bell? You can have a 10/10 body, but if you dress sloppily and have a bad posture people will still perceive you as lazy, likewise if you have a regular body but dress well and have a good posture people are more likely to appreciate you because you have self-respect. It all boils down to how you carry yourself, not how your body looks like.

[@iStorm-my5fp]

Ive been very much into Korean culture and this is a great but different insight

[@jemandjemand2362]

complementary colours are always a good thing. red orange yellow, blue violet red

[@realtox8722]

I just recently had an experience like that. I went on Vinted and stumbled upon a bright yellow stand out stüssy sweater and instantly felt like it would look insanely good with jsut some basic stuff. Ive never gotten so many compliments. Its insane how much these tips help just try them:D

[@xXHotaroXx]

watch so many "how to style (for men" videos over the years - but this one made it finally click for me. GG Wanhee, gamsahabnida !

[@lukastudoran1542]

love this man!! huge thanks for the inspo!

[@Stan_sprinkle]

7:27 yeh but that’s also really common in korea… everyone where’s that show or shirt. Like the striped French Riviera tshirt. Or that season when 25% of girls seem to be wearing a tan trench coat

[@jyc313]

Kinda true. Korea is very trend forward and while that is good for pushing design and fashion forward it also leads to everyone doing similar things. Like wearing a NY Yankees cap everywhere… wtf is up with that 😂😂

[@aadarshsanjenbam7492]

Damn!! that was one of the best tips that sums up everything. Glad i found this channel.

[@HMuny55]

Most of these concepts can be drawn back to mens suiting practices you can read in style books from 100+ years ago. - color tone matching and contrasting with trousers jackets and shirts, military uniforms - Outfit accentuations like pocket squares, tie bars, cufflinks, gold/pearl buttons, fabric textures and patterns - Sprezzatura, the art of looking natural and not too polished. Wearing too many colors is a universal rule, similar to wearing conflicting patterns. I do like the point system though. I also like when people understand trends but slightly customize your look to avoid looking like another NPC wearing the same thing as everyone. Thats what I do. Always have your own taste and personality in your style. Great video!

[@x-mando1933]

Perfectly summarized!

[@Xaphyro]

As I feel this was absolute awesome and legit fashion advice video I'll say one thing that was constantly on my mind the whole video. I think your videos will gain a lot from color correcting, right now they look like logarithmic raw color, very washed out, going through a bit of color correction might make your video really pop. This was even more accentuated by the professional fashion photos and videos you were showing as examples of fits. Once again awesome video just that thing called my attention.

[@amkim77]

I just like how guy talking about things 😊 ty!

[@dravin777]

I have watched a lot of Korean Drama series (and still watching) and every time I see how well dressed the men and women are. Thanks to that I started to work on my own fashion wardrobe.

dress better compared to what or who? there's good and bad in all walks of life. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fashion is like art, it's all subjective.

[@montecristobal]

[@chazlyle41]

For tone matching convert your outfit to black and white and if all the colors are now very close to the same grey tone you’re closer than if they contrast a lot.

[@rikdas509]

[@chilliam00]

Last points is facts about Korea. The fashion although stylish is very copy paste, same colours, same style and even down to the same haircut (especially for men).

[@JoeyLevenson]

Haha I just lopped off my long hair and the stylist whipped out an iPad and showed me about 10 haircuts that were more or less the same. She freaked out a bit when I refused her suggestions: no, I don’t want to look like a soccer player….

[@lukemiller_6]

[@garyhuntsr71698]

i would also say to stay away from slim fitting clothes even if it would show your body more. e.g. singles inferno cast they are all jacked but wear relaxed clothing fits.

[@gee7220]

The only way to dress better is to wear your clothes. Give time to wear every clothes that you have and see what you want, and what works for wherever you're going. If you get bored just buy one or two clothes, and try to incorporate that into the outfits that you have. When i say every clothes that you have that also includes jewelry, and accessories.

[@nym5qu17]

being able to pull off something that isnt trending is way more fashionable than being able to adopt a trend into ones wardrobe.

Hmm, yes. I guess I go against number 3 quite often. I don't like to underdress for any occasion. Because of that, I tend to just wear a somewhat formal look whenever I go outside.

[@vitorzbr9013]

I just bought my sambas this past week 😢😢 But i do style them pretty well.. but i’ll probably buy another pair of shoes like an converse chuck 70 hi

[@jztouch]

I've spent a lot of time in Korea and one thing I notice, although I had never heard the terms until this video, is that a lot of people struggle with the 꾸꾸꾸 vs 꾸안꾸. I see a lot of 꾸꾸꾸 on the streets of Seoul and since Covid a lot of 꾸안꾸 but not a lot of people that can tread the fine line between the two. Don't get me wrong, it's hard to get right and there are a lot of Koreans that look fantastic, but that effortless "je ne sais quoi" quality can be hard to find in Korea. I have to hand it to them though to have invented these concepts that help people put together looks. It really does show.

[@veo16]

Fashion “tips” just get you to spend more and introduce stress induced fomo into already stressful life. This stuff can be fun. But don’t let it overtake your other priorities. Health. Happiness. Relationships.

I don't know how many of your viewers have been to Korea, but I can say for certain that style is most definitely not the strong suit for most men there. It's very common for people to visit and be totally underwhelmed by how the men dress. K-drama really has painted a distorted picture in people's heads. The women on the other hand, they have great style, beautifully dressed. Amazing country, I'll be returning soon.
