$100 Challenge – Building Stylish Warm Weather Outfits from Walmart
[0:00:00] [Music]
The $100 Walmart challenge. Gents, how many stylish summer outfits can I put together
for $100? Find out in today’s video. Today’s video is sponsored by Walmart. And
to be honest, I have not shopped at Walmart for clothing for a long time. That being said,
I was shocked by how many quality pieces I found on their website. And, we’re talking
from trusted brands that you guys know; Levi’s, Wranglers, Nautica, Bostonian.
Now, I always knew that Walmart had a good selection of the foundation pieces, the basics
that need to be in every man’s wardrobe. But, what I didn’t know is the breadth of
their clothing selection. So, if you’re looking for shoes, if you’re
looking for trousers, if you’re looking for shirts, go check out Walmart. I was actually
very impressed with the amount of clothing that they’ve got on there to be able to
piece together a great-looking outfit. And, to prove that to you, let me show you
the outfits I was able to put together for well under 100 bucks.
Now, this first outfit I’m keeping really simple and what you’re going to love is
the price is well under 40 bucks, and that is the simple V-neck with chino combination.
Now, the V-neck t-shirt is made by Ma Croix. What I love about this t-shirt besides the
feel and the overall fit is the color. So, it’s heather maroon. Maroon, one of my favorite
colors, but it’s a little bit too stark if you for a straight maroon.
Heather maroon, this is going to have a little bit of distress, it’s going to have a little
bit of fade. And what I love about this, it works perfectly with the chinos.
Now, the chinos I’m wearing in this video are made by George, and I absolutely love
them because of the fit. The fit is key, guys. If you don’t get the fit right, yeah, it’s
just painful. They fit me really well. I would maybe get them hemmed three quarters
to an inch, but overall, I am very happy with the fit and the look of these trousers. And
I love the color, cove blue. This worked really well with that heather maroon, just a really
nice soft combination. And, again, this whole shirt chino combination way under $40.
Oh, but what if you’re a big spender, you got approximately 20 more bucks to blow? Well,
in that case, add a jacket. Now, I know we’re talking summer style, but here’s the thing.
I live up north and at night, it gets cool. In fact, just last night, it was in the 50s.
Or if you’re going out in the water, guess what? You want something that’s going to
keep you warm whenever the temperature drops. Now, to tell you this jacket by George, I
am very happy with it. I’m wearing a size small and it fits me close. And that’s what
I love about this jacket, it’s got a bit of stretch in it which a lot of other jackets
out there don’t have this. And if you’re not stuck on you know getting
some famous brand, but you’re cool with going with just simply something that fits
you well and looks good, you want to check out this jean jacket by George.
And that being said, the combination we’re looking at right here, maybe a little bit
too streamline, so let’s change it up. And, boom, just like that and for well under $25,
we have an entirely different look. Now, notice how the contrast with the trousers
and the jacket and the shirt, this really creates I think a very approachable more casual
look. This is something you got a laid back work place, you can wear this to work or you
could go out meeting with friends. Again, what I like about this, you can simply take
that jacket off and you still got a very casual clean look.
Now, these chinos here are made by Levi’s. They come under their signature series and
this is an athletic chino that’s bit of a hybrid and what I really like about this,
it’s fun, it’s clean, I like the fit on these. And for me, again, 5’9” about 175
lbs, these trousers were just they were great. They were spot on and I love the fit.
Now, at this point, let’s lighten things up a bit. And, boom, just like that I brought
in a classic V-neck white t-shirt. This one, again, by Ma Croix, absolutely love the fit,
the look, except for the fact that now I am blending right into my white backdrop.
Now, I like the look, very simple, good combination. But, there’s something off about the pants.
Maybe it’s just they’re too plain Jane. We’ve seen this khaki color again and again.
Let’s bring in something classic, but something different.
Let’s bring in gray. Ooh, look at that. You see the difference? And what I really
like about this, just a clean very light look and all we did was change up those trousers.
Again, these are going to be the signature series by Levi’s. We’ve got these chinos,
they’re an athletic fit. Just overall I really like this combination.
Now, that being said, here’s some of you guys screaming, “Antonio, that looks like
an undershirt. Change it.” Okay. And, boom, just like that you change to the shirt, you
change the entire look. Notice how I’m wearing one with the darker color.
We got the color, you could wear this into the evening gives a more formal feel. You
can even dress this up with a sports jacket. This is a classic cotton pique polo. This
has been in menswear for a long time. This one made by Ma Croix, I picked it up over
at Walmart. What I love about this shirt is it’s really
versatile and the color just adds so much to the style and really sets this apart from
any other shirts. It makes it much more dressier than any other shirts I’ve worn so far in
today’s video. And this polo shirt and chino combination,
well under 40 bucks. And if the polo is not enough for you, you need something dressier,
then go grab a dress shirt. Over at Walmart you’re going to find a range of dress shirts
from $20 to $30, you have tons of options over there.
This one I picked by Nautica. I really like the pattern, a very simple clean pattern.
It’s also incredibly lightweight, great for hot weather. And I really like the attention
to detail. Little things like the inside contrast stitching with the material and also right
here this button down. So, this is going to be a casual shirt and it should be worn as
a casual shirt. [0:04:56]
But, a few adjustments I would make on this, I definitely would probably bring it in on
the sides. But, again, because it’s such a great price, you can afford to actually
send this off to a tailor or just simply make the darts and adjustment yourself.
Now, gents, throughout this video, if you see any clothing you like, you want to make
sure and use the link down in the description to go over to Walmart.com and grab it. Gents,
if you’re looking for a deal, shop men’s fashion at Walmart.com and find them at tag
@WalmartFashion. Seriously, I want to thank Walmart for being
a great sponsor and I want you to go check, I think you’re going to be shocked. I think
you’re going to be surprised when you go over to their website and you see how many
options they have when it comes to men’s fashion and the prices. So, gents, use that
link and go check out Walmart.com. Now, let’s get back to the casual and as
you could see I’m wearing a V-neck, this one in a charcoal gray. So, what I like about
gray is it’s a non-color. And you see mixed here with the light gray trousers that darker
gray shirt, a lot of guys never think to pull this off. But, gray on gray especially variations
of that gray is just a great combination especially the lighter gray with the trousers, I think
a really sharp summer look. Now, at this point I’m going to shock some
of you guys with my choice of trousers. So, right here the color we’re going with the
dusty olive, nothing out of the ordinary, actually a great color. But, look over here
on the sides, what do you see? Yes, that is a cargo pocket. And, I know a
lot of people wail about, oh, you know don’t wear a cargo pants, don’t wear a cargo shorts.
I do think you can pull them off if you understand this is a casual look.
And if the trousers are cut to fit your body well, this can be a great just fun casual
look. I think this is a great combination right here. I like it, I mean, what do you
guys think? Let me know down in the comments. And by the way, those tapered cargo pants
are made by Wrangler, they’ve got a bit of stretch to them. I absolutely love them.
And guess what? The entire combination with that shirt, well under 35 bucks.
And because we’re way under budget, I want to bring in another jacket because, again,
when I’m out on the water, if I’m out walking in the rain, I want a little bit of
light layer. And I think every man always look better when he’s got a jacket.
This one is a packable field jacket by Mountain and Isles and I love the fact it’s packable.
It’s lightweight, a great windbreaker, and I was really impressed with the quality. Again,
it’s not a name brand that maybe everyone has heard of, but here’s the thing is it
looks good and the fit was spot on and I’m happy with this thing. I made a great deal.
Now, at this point if you’re thinking, “Come on, Antonio, that’s it. I want more outfits.
I want some outfits with color. I want to attract the spicy senoritas.” Well, you
want to go check out this video. My friend, Aaron Marino put together a great
video in which he wore Walmart outfits for an entire week, and guess what? His tastes
are very different than mine. You get to see just different options, things that you can
pick up over at Walmart for an amazing price. So, guys, go check this video out, Aaron did
a great job and, yeah, I will link to it down in the description.
