- [Eli] This is my Dad's style, he dressed me today.
This is my daytime look he chose out for me.
- Your Dad got good taste.
(funky techno music)
- All right Internet, you finally got what you asked for.
So, I'm visiting my Dad for the week.
Yes, that Dad.
Yes, the Dad in video.
- Oh, yeah.
(laughs)
- Yes!
- Yeah, well anyway we get the hint,
we know what Dad we're talking about.
So, me and the Pero Like team,
mostly the Pero Like team,
decided it would be a good idea
to do another video with him.
Now there's a lot of things that my Dad loves.
And one of those things is fashion, his style.
He has a very clean cut look to him.
He loves his suits,
and he always gets complemented on the way he dresses.
I grew up not sharing a lot of experiences with my Dad
and I want do things that he is passionate about
and us to create memories together.
So, for the whole week he is going to style me
with three different looks,
and maybe people will think I'm hot too.
I don't know.
We are in Texas.
On my way to surprise my Dad at his nutrition cafe.
Sup, Dad?
- The heck you doing here?
- I'm here to hang out with you, of course.
- No, I'm serious what are you doing here?
(laughs)
- This is the fun secret I'm gonna show the Pero Like people
because they all think my Dad dresses super nice
but he's been wearing the same jean shorts
for the last seventeen years.
When he's not in a suit, he just look like a Dad.
That's literally what it is.
Or he has his HerbalLife shirt on, either way.
- There's a thing that's called
A Jíbaro, Puerto Rican Hillbilly.
(Eli laughs)
- Puerto Rican Hillbilly.
- Hey, I'm a Puerto Rican Hillbilly.
I'm a Jíbaro, that's what it is, that's it.
- You are going to style me for a week.
So, you are going to give me three different looks:
a workout look, a daytime look for the office that
I'm gonna show around at BuzzFeed,
and then I'm gonna have a night out look.
- [Dad] Oh wow.
- I'm giving you full control,
and you're gonna choose whatever you think I should wear.
- So, finally you're gonna look good.
- Finally I'm gonna look good.
- Yeah, you're gonna look good.
- Oh God.
- Okay he's talking all this mess about my wardrobe
but what are those, bro?
- It's not about the clothes, it's about the man.
If you make a name for yourself, you can wear anything.
Look it, you can't wear Prince clothes.
Only Prince can wear them.
- He has a point.
So, what's the strategy Dad?
What's the strategy for shopping?
- I gotta suit you up man.
- [Eli] You're gonna suit me up?
- [Dad] Yeah I got to suit you up.
(techno music)
- [Eli] See that would be nice, because I have a black
and I have that one, I don't have a lighter suit.
- Yeah, that right there.
Yeah, you got the white shirt.
- [Eli] So, you said the socks are key for the suit.
Why is that?
- Socks and shoes are very important.
Just like your car, if you wash your car,
if you don't wash your tires, car's still dirty.
If you have a nice suit with dirty shoes,
you don't got no suit.
It's kinda like close to it but not close to it,
but it's like wow it fits.
- [Eli] Yeah.
Okay, so I'm taking a little break from my Dad.
We already went through one wardrobe,
and I already learned so much about suits
that I had never known before.
But it's also scary because, "How do you like this?"
"How do you like this?"
And I'm like, "I don't know."
That God damn peace sign, he always holds the peace sign.
- You gotta have peace, man.
(laughs)
- And it just felt nice,
to have and know he has my back
and he's looking out for me.
So it was nice.
All right, back to shopping.
So, this is wardrobe number one.
Very simple, classic charcoal top.
I kinda told him what running shoes I had,
so he kinda matched after that, the red bottoms.
It's nothing exciting, pretty classic look.
- Well, it's very athletic (laughs)
- [Eli] So it's very athletic.
- According to your Dad's wardrobe I would say maybe a five.
- [Eli] A five? (laughs)
What are your thoughts on the wardrobe?
- I would probably say a six
only because the guy in it makes it good.
- [Eli] I'll take it!
I'm not very impressed.
Wardrobe number two.
It's all about the socks, all about the socks.
Here you go, it's clearly not tailored I get it
but this is the suit.
(light Latin music)
This is nice, I was a little worried,
but the suit game is on point.
We all knew the suit was gonna be nice,
but by God he crushed it.
Whoo!
Like a Puerto Rican James Bond.
Throwing plantonas at people.
- Colors match, socks are good.
I can see the pink socks.
- [Eli] Yeah, so the pink socks.
- The sleeves look good.
Makes you look really buff, it's nice.
- [Eli] Sweet!
- I think the color is really bold,
I didn't see the socks initially,
but the socks are also great, overall it's a great look.
- [Eli] What out of ten?
- Like a fifteen.
- [Eli] A fifteen?
Dad, job well done.
You're doing better.
I had a great time.
All right Dad, I love you.
- [Dad] I love you too.
This is what my Dad picked out for daytime office wear.
Like I walk in and Gadiel is already wearing
like the same outfit.
(laughs)
- Why you copying me son?
- This is like--
- First of all, these are my sunglasses.
- These are your sunglasses?
- I have the same ones.
Look at that.
That is funny.
- [Eli] God damn, Caribbean Dad vibes.
Oh my god, that's so-- (laughs)
- I like it, I love it.
I think it looks good on you.
- [Eli] Looks good.
- You did a good job.
- [Eli] Okay good.
This is from my father.
- Oh, I see now!
Okay, well you definitely have more
of a Puerto Rican touch to you.
You are a brown man with a pink shirt.
- [Eli] So if there's one man that knows fashion,
which my Dad specifically said,
"Yo, that guy Curly's Instagram is (beep) cool as hell."
- I'm so honored that that fine ass man
watches my Instagram.
- [Eli] Okay anyway, wardrobe what are your thoughts?
(laughs)
What are your thoughts?
- I could be your mother, I could be your step-mother.
(laughs)
Are the glasses part of it too?
- [Eli] It's part of it too.
- That's beautiful.
- [Eli] Oh okay.
Curly approves everyone.
Very nice.
- Your Dad got good taste.
(laughs)
Eli, get your own style.
- I am back in my normal clothes and it feels good.
But, I have to say my Dad didn't do a bad job.
I was kinda expecting way worse.
I found myself really appreciating
all those moments we had together.
It really showed that it doesn't matter how old you are,
it doesn't matter where you're at in life,
you can still create new memories
and you can still learn new things from your parents
and those are those moments that I will appreciate forever.
Love you, Dad.
I'm gonna keep him away from Curly though.
- I could be your mother.
