﻿Top Casual Clothing Items Men Wear That Women LOVE
[0:00:00] Women view men
in suits like guys view women in lingerie. So, as a suit guy, I absolutely love this,
but what about when you want to dress down, when you want to dress casual,
how to dress in a way so the ladies love it? Well, the first tip is to wear the right shirt,
one that draws a little bit of attention to the chest area, has a storied history,
and believe it not, doesn’t have a collar. What shirt style am I talking about? Guys,
the classic henley. Now, by definition a
henley shirt is a collarless pullover. It’s characterized by a round neckline and placket
about 3 to 5 inches in length. In a nutshell, it’s a collarless polo and in my opinion, one
of the most underutilized styles out there. Now, the sleeves can be short or they can be long.
Now, does the name come from? So, let’s go back to 1839 and there’s traditional
rowing going on in England, you got a town Henley-on-the-Thames. And, basically, this
was the official uniform of that rowing team. Now, what I find really interesting is how the
shirt was relatively unknown for about 120, 140 years after it was developed,
until it was rediscovered by the American fashion industry in the 1980s.
Now, to reiterate the reason that henley just works is the
options you have with it for a relatively plain shirt. Again, you’re drawing attention to the
chest area right here with the placket. But, also, with the long sleeve henleys, if
you’re a thinner guy, if you’ve got a little bit more weight around the midsection, just wearing
something a little bit looser and, boom, you roll up those sleeves a bit just pull them up, it looks
so good on so many different body types. [Music]
Next up on this list, the simple t-shirt. And for something so simple, so many guys
screw this up by first up, getting the wrong fit. You want to make sure it fits you on the
shoulder points that you’ve got about an inch of excess room around the chest and the midsection.
Not, you know, 5 inches of excess room. You don’t want to have it so tight that everyone
can see your body frame underneath. No, you want to have a great fit.
Next up, pay attention to the drape. I like something with a little bit of an elastic,
a little bit of a stretch to it. I want something that just looks smooth when it’s
on the body that doesn’t really keep wrinkles. Something that just looks quality and is thick
enough that you can’t see the outline of your nipples or anything underneath the shirt.
And, finally, when it comes to attraction, you’re going to find that the color - black,
red, and dark blue are going to be the most attractive. White, a lot of women
like this as well. But, be careful with white shirts, you want to make sure it’s clean,
no stains, and that it fits you properly. Now, gents, if you’re in the market for a
well-fitted high quality t-shirt or henley, you need to go check out today’s sponsor, Cuts.
Now, gents, as a lot of you guys know I’ve worked with Cuts multiple times. I love their t-shirts,
I’ve been wearing them because these guys do it right when it comes to casual clothing.
Seriously, gents, if you don’t know their story, they started off with this simple t-shirt,
focusing in on the things that matter to men. First up, they wanted it to fit, so they use the
right material. They got a four-way stretch. This stuff is buttery soft, it doesn’t peel,
and it looks good. When you put a Cuts’ shirt on your body, it compliments your
built because it just fits your body perfectly. They also realized guys want it simple when it
comes to colors, so they’ve got their staple colors that their shirts all come in, but they’ve
also got seasonal colors for you guys that, hey, I wear t-shirt pretty much every day, but I want
to change things up with a variety of different colors, boom, they’ve got you covered. And when
it comes to hem styles, they’ve got you covered. And, Cuts clothing is a lot more than just
t-shirts. So, of course, you’ve got the henleys, you’ve got the short sleeve, you got the long
sleeve, a variety of different colors, different styles made with the same buttery sort material.
But, let’s look at their polos, they’ve got you covered there. If you’re looking for joggers,
if you are looking for a hoodie, they’ve got you covered over at Cuts.
And, gents, when you go into their website, don’t forget to check their outerwear,
they’ve got some hidden gems over there. The insulated power vest, love this one right here,
just simply the way it makes a man especially if you take care of yourself.
You’re in the gym, you can wear this with a t-shirt, it’s just a great look that really,
again, is going to set you apart from the crowd. And, gents, in case you didn’t hear,

Awesome company, proud to support them. Now, before I go to the next item on this list,
I want to lay out a few simple rules that apply to pretty much everything. And that is number one,
anything you buy, anything you put on your body should fit you
properly, specifically your body type. You want to wear clothing that compliments your
built. Two, practice wearing it, don’t just go buy something. Put it on and wear it out that night.
You want to actually get used to it, you want to make sure, hey, I feel comfortable in wearing
this. Otherwise, you’re wearing a costume. And rule number three, learn to trust
yourself. You know what colors look best on you because you’ve gotten compliments
on these colors probably since you were a kid. I know for me, right here, maroon is one of my
go-to colors, green as well. Just simply that combination right there, I absolutely love.
[0:04:57] I say all these because if you go
out there and read an article that says, hey, the color red is going to make you more attractive,
which there is research that this is true. I don’t want you to go out there and buy something
that you don’t feel comfortable wearing. Now, understand, being unfamiliar with
something is different than being uncomfortable. Once you’ve worn it a few times, you tried it,
you’ve gotten a few people that have verified, “You know what? That looks really good on you.”
That’s a color that you should add to your wardrobe, give it a shot. And there
are so many ways to bring in the color red and layer it with other pieces.
Next up, we’ve got the vest. I know I alluded to it earlier, but I want to give it a little
bit more love because the vest is just one of those items I think women like it
on men because they don’t see it very often. So many guys don’t know how to pull it off. The
key is to get the proper fit. And you can actually pull off a vest even if you have a little bit of
weight around the midsection, you’re a little bit of a heavier gut, even if you’re a skinny guy.
It does look best, though, if you’re a guy that spends time in the gym and you’ve got
good size arms. If you’re a bigger guy and you still got good size arm, even if you got
weight around the midsection, just wear a vest that fits you properly, is the proper length.
You can may be just zip it at the bottom or leave it open.
Wear it maybe with a contrasting long sleeve henley. This right here can be a great look.
Now, the long sleeve henley I think can help whenever a guy is really skinny. So, you’re
relatively thin like I am, just simply roll it up. Again, you got to go for something that fits
a bit closer and, you know, so if you zip it up, it’s going to be a little bit tight there.
What you don’t want, though, is to go with something overly large. And this is the mistake
I think a lot of guys make with the vest and the overly large vest. It just doesn’t fit right in
the shoulders. It’s better for it to be a little bit closer of a fit. Something actually you can
wear maybe an insulating layer underneath. Next up, we’ve got the hoodie. And I was
surprised that this one was on the list because I view this as pretty much everybody has a hoodie,
but here’s the thing is all the ladies in this list and all these forms they were talking about,
it needs to be the right type. It needs to be warm, it needs to not have a
huge logo on it. It should be something that they want to steal. Something that looks incredibly
comfortable, but when it’s on their man it, again, fits properly. You notice this pops up a lot.
So, the oversized hoodie is not where you want to go. You want something that’s going to be
in a solid color, not going to have a whole lot, you know, of distractions on it. This is something
that when you pullover, it fits you properly and, yeah, it just looks good, it looks comfortable. I
think that’s what the ladies were drawn to. Now, it’s probably not going to surprise many
of you that well-fitted dark-colored jeans were on this list. And, again,
they need to fit you properly. Oversized or overly tight, no, those don’t make the list.
I do like a little bit of stretch in my denim, a variety of different brands out there.
The key here is getting the fit. They key here also is don’t go with overly distressed. Don’t
go with jeans that are too light in color. You know, those white jeans are not on this list.
I think a guy can pull off white jeans, but in general, we’re going with a dark
denim blue. You can go with black. A lot of women love black jeans on men, but in general, they were
darker in color and avoiding the distress. Next up on this list, we’ve got a crisp white
button down oxfords. So, when I say oxford, I refer to actually the type of fabric. This is
going to be thicker, heavier. It’s going to be just simply a work shirt. You’re going
to see them in variety of colors. But, the color that kept popping up
was white. And a lot of women just imagine their boyfriend, you know,
with those jeans with that button down. This is not a dress shirt, don’t confuse it with that.
This is going to be more casual. Oftentimes, you will see it with a button down collar,
but it doesn’t have to. The point being is this is just a great shirt
that they just imagine their guy wearing. And the key point with this combination here
is that especially if you’re not going to wear a jacket over it is that you need to have a decent
built. You can have a little bit of weight around the midsection, you can be skinny, this will
actually work for you if you’re a thin guy. But, if you’re overly just heavy, you’re a big
guy, in that case, throw in the sports jacket. I couldn’t find many women saying they love a guy
in a sports jacket, but they do love a man in a suit. So, I talked about that first point.
And a sports jacket in many people’s minds, they don’t know the distinction, but they do know
is that when they see a guy with a sports jacket on especially a heavier big guy, it builds up
the shoulders, it slims up the silhouette. And, again, you don’t want to be fat and sloppy,
you want to be large and in charge and sports jacket, yeah, that’s a bonus one for you.
That being said, if sports jackets aren’t your thing, look to leather jackets,
look at suede jackets. I think the suede jacket, yes, it is something you got to take care of.
But, this is a man’s wardrobe we’re talking about. You’re not a little boy,
so I want you to step it up and something that, yes, the ladies love touching suede as well.
It’s a great icebreaker if you’re going out with your friends and you want something that
sets you apart from the crowd. And, speaking of getting the ladies to touch you,
the cashmere sweater or maybe a high quality wool sweater. Point being is you want something
soft, something that they cannot resist putting their hands on.
Because women find, you know, many things attractive. They’re kind of like that. And they’re
going to find it attractive that they want to put their hands on it if they’re drawn to it.
The very word, attraction, sometimes they can’t even explain it.
And this is something that’s almost primal, something that’s innate, something that as
human beings, we want to get close to others. We’re social beings and to see something that
you want to touch, yeah. [0:09:58]
Seriously, invest in a good cashmere sweater in a color that compliments your eyes or
simply just compliments your natural colors, you are not going to look back. It’s one of,
yeah, just something that the ladies love. And, hey, we’re entering the fall season here soon.
And, of course, gents, let’s not forget the foundation of a man’s wardrobe, his footwear.
So, three things I usually look for in a great pair of shoes. You want to up the material,
you want to give it some style, and you want to give yourself a bit of height.
That’s why I like these, they got all three. But, you want to stick with sneakers,
maybe go with leather sneakers. If you want to stick with your dress shoes your casual shoes,
maybe bring in some styles some different materials, some contrast colors, some broguing.
If you are tired of shoes, maybe look at boots. So, this has all three. It’s got the broguing,
it’s made from a leather material, and they are boots. And why go with
boots? To give you a little bit of height. You know, if you 5’4”, you put on these boots,
all of a sudden, you’re 5’6”. If you’re 6’2”, all of a sudden, you’re 6’4”.
Point being is it just slims you up, it makes you just look a little bit leaner, meaner, tougher,
more masculine. Guys, that’s what we’re shooting for.
And speaking of looking sexier, guys, I got a whole video on that right here. If you’re
interested in the science behind looking sexier, I’ve got you covered right here.
No one else goes into the detail that I do when we talk about the science of style,
that’s why I love making these videos. So, guys, check – click on it right here,
you’ll magically go over it and you’re going to learn the science
behind looking sexy. [0:11:19] End of audio
