How to Dress Well
Alright, a ton of you guys asked for a video on how to dress well so let's not waste any
time and just jump right into this.
I'm gonna outline one style that I really like, it's simple, not that expensive, and
it works for literally ANY guy, whether you're 15 years old and looking for something to
wear to school, or you're 30 years old and looking for something to wear when you're
off work.
Of course there are lots of styles you can choose from, but I'm just gonna show you ONE
that's GUARANTEED to work, it works for me, and it'll work for you too.

So first, the basics. • 1) Stick to somewhat muted colors.
This means stuff like white, grey, faded blue, faded red, dark green, stuff like that.
Leave the neon orange snapbacks and the hot pink shorts on the rack.
• 2) Avoid large prints, designs, and pretty much anything too crazy.
The point of this style isn't to make a statement, it's just to wear stuff that looks nice and
stylish. • 3) Wear your clothes in a slightly slimmer
fit.
By slim fit, I mean something like this , not this , and not this.
One of the main reasons guys fail is because they either wear stuff that's too baggy, or
they wear stuff that makes them look like a bodybuilder from the 80's desperate for
everyone around to know they've been lifting.
So now that you know what to avoid, let me show you exactly what to get.
I recommend going to the J Crew store, it's one of my favorite brands, and it also has
a lot of stuff that works with this style so it's pretty hard to screw it up.
And no, this video isn't sponsored by J Crew,"but J Crew if you see this and want to hook me
up with some free stuff feel free to get in touch."
• For tops, look for plain t-shirts and an occasional button-down in a solid color
or subtle pattern, plads, that kind of thing.
• For bottoms, my favorite color is khaki, and I recommend khaki jeans and khaki chinos,
there a bunch of different shades of khaki so you can get as many as you want.
I prefer this to blue jeans because it's just a little different.
If you want to go for other colors then I recommend dark blue, grey, dark red, or dark
green, and if you like blue jeans you can get a pair too.
Also, if you live somewhere hot, and you want to wear shorts, that's fine, just make sure
they don't go below the knee because that's too long.
Also if you're wearing shorts, either don't wear your button-downs with them, or roll
up the sleeves.
• For shoes, I recommend canvas sneakers.
That means any sneaker that looks kind of like this.
They're casual enough to wear with anything but they're also not AS casual as a running
shoe so they look a little more stylish.
If you want to be even more stylish you can try a pair of chukka boots and if you want
to be a little more casual you can go for a sneaker like Roshes or Ultra Boosts.
I recommend not working out in the same shoes you wear to go out, because dirty scuffed
up shoes can really ruin an entire outfit.
• If it's cold where you live, go for a nice subtle sweater , cardigan, or jacket
to round out the look.
Don't just throw something on, thinking "oh, it's just the outer layer, it doesn't matter."
Because it does matter.
• If you want to wear sunglasses, go for a slightly more professional design.
In general you want to avoid stuff like Oakleys and ones they sell at gas stations because
those usually look too sporty ... which is fine if you actually ARE playing sports, but
they don’t really go with this look.
Also, if you're at the store and you're not sure if something looks good, just ask the
salesguy.
Don't be afraid to ask them.
Just pick one of the guys who looks like he's dressed pretty well and ask him.
Don't ask a guy who isn't dressed well, because if he can't do it himself then he obviously
won't be much help.
And don't ask a girl, because you'll be more likely to buy expensive stuff to try to impress
her - don't forget your actual goal, which is to leave the store with stuff that you're
actually gonna wear, not blow your entire budget on a $600 leather jacket because the
hot salesgirl told you you looked good in it.
The other good thing about this style is that everything goes with everything else.
Every top goes with pretty much every bottom, which goes with every pair of shoes, which
goes with every sweater and jacket.
So you can make tons of different outfits.
Let's say you get 5 t-shirts, 2 button downs, 3 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 sweater,
and 1 jacket.
That's literally ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX outfits you can make.
I don't know about you, but like when I was in high school, there'd always be guys who
you could tell what their favorite outfit was, because they'd wear it ALL THE DAMN TIME.
And after awhile it just looked ridiculous.
Don't be that guy.
And that's pretty much it.
Here are some examples of cool outfits using this style.
If you have any questions leave them in the comments below, I always reply to as many
as I can.
And if you're a little older, or you live in a "fashion city" like New York, or Paris
or something, and you want to style it up a little more, then just dress like James
Bond.
