2019 Fashion Trends To AVOID [0:00:00] All right, gentlemen.
Today, we’re talking about fashion trends.
And whether you love them whether you hate them, they matter because they have an effect
on the clothing that makes it out to the stores in your area.
The goal of today’s video is to point out a few fashion trends which are perfectly fine
and more importantly help you identify those which are just going to make you look bad
which happens to be quite a few of them.
[Music] Fashion trend number one to avoid, gentlemen,
wearing a suit jacket with a bare chest.
Apparently, yes, this is in fashion for 2019.
Now, for me from a functionality’s perspective it just doesn’t work because when you’re
wearing a suit jacket you’re going to have to get that thing cleaned and you’re going
to have to wash it after every long wear.
It’s just not going to be practical.
That’s why we wear shirts that’s why we wear undershirts to protect our more expensive
clothing from being damaged, so probably avoid this fashion trend.
Now, fashion trend number two which should not be confused with the last one is showing
and baring your nipples.
Apparently wearing transparent clothing or clothing that shows off the male nipple is
going to be in in 2019.
Again, something that I think for the vast majority of us in most situations just is
not going to work.
Sure at the beach, but beyond that, probably not.
Next up, let’s talk about colors that are going to be in fashion this year.
Neon, we’re going to see a lot of neon out there.
Be careful with neon.
This is not classic, this is not going to stand up to the test of time.
So, we’re going to see racing red, we’re going to see orange, we’re going to see
freesia which is basically gold.
You’re going to see cobalt which is a dark color blue.
You’re going to see lighter blues.
Now, for the blues and for the mainstays, I’m saying, yes, you could pick up a jacket
or a suit in cobalt, that’s perfectly fine.
Be careful though in a light blue and definitely not a racing red.
But, for most of these fashionable colors, it’s going to be accessories where you want
to bring this in.
Right here, I picked this up the other day.
I didn’t even know this was in style, I happen to do the research.
Gold, orange, cobalt blue, notice how it goes in?
Now, notice this cap right here, a classic cap watch.
Most of you are going to have this in black, but you could actually bring in a fashionable
color like freesia aka gold right here and bring it into your wardrobe.
Another easy way to add fashionable colors to your wardrobe, gentlemen, your watch.
Right here, this watch we’ve got a racing style with the racing red right in it.
They’re actually right here in the stitching.
This watch right here, we’ve got a dark blue.
These watches made by Vincero, the paid sponsor of today’s video.

I love the Chrono S watches especially that Chrono S in rosegold, a beautiful watch.
Just look at the details right there on the dial.
These are watches which are going to stand apart from the crowd.
Next up, look at their Bellwether Collection.
I love this one because of the clean aesthetic the balance in the watch.
Not only can you go with the wide variety of leather straps which are interchangeable,
but you could also go with metal straps, they’ve got mesh straps, just a wide range of options
for you.
Another collection to check out is their Marble Collection.
Their bestseller in that collection is the Italian Marble in Black Verde.
If you want a simple dial if you want minimalism, go with their Kairos Collection.
Notice right here we got the time and the date and that’s it.

this is the Rogue Collection.

Go check out Vincero.
I’m linking to them down in the description with the best discount code you’re going
to find out there.
The next fashion trend to avoid, gentlemen, is going to be the oversized double-breasted
jacket.
Now, double-breasted jackets I love and on the right body type, they can make you look
like amazing.
If you’ve got give suits already, maybe go to a double-breasted suit jacket, it’s
going to help you stand out from the crowd, but anything oversized anything that’s going
to be overly large in the shoulder area is another thing we’re seeing trends on.
Guys, don’t go with this oversized stuff, guys.
Get something that fits your body type correctly.
The next fashion trend to avoid, gentlemen is the neck wallet.
So, over twenty years ago, I purchased this when I was riding my motorcycle on and off
base.
I wanted to be able to show my ID very easily, but even then I didn’t feel it was very
fashionable piece, I didn’t like wearing it and I would recommend that you not really
jump onto this trend in 2019.
For me it’s just not really going anywhere and I think this is a piece that is really
going to catch on.
The next fashion trend to avoid, oversized jeans and slashed jeans.
Apparently wearing jeans like you did in high school which I don’t remember in high school
ever wearing jeans that were all slashed up or wearing jeans that are overly large.
Now, I admit I did wear overly large jeans in high school.
But in any case, you’re a grown man so probably don’t go back to your high school looks.
The next fashion trend we’re talking about are dad socks.
These are white socks that go up past the ankle.
I didn’t see a problem with this.
I know for a lot of you guys that aare going to work out and that’s where these socks
are appropriate is when you’re exercising when you’re working out.
Remember, when you’re wearing dress clothing when you’re wearing a suit, do not wear
white socks.
That – you should never wear white socks even if they’re in fashion even if they’re
in trend.
No, always wear dark socks that match your shoes or match your trousers, but when it
comes to white socks and if they’re calling them dad socks, I think they are perfectly
fine.
[0:05:01] Now, this next fashion trend kind of confuses
me because it takes two perfectly fine items, shorts and a turtle neck and it combines them.
And I don’t know about this combination, for me, functionally it just doesn’t make
sense, one is for cold weather and one is for warm weather, why would you bring them
together?
But, they’re a thing and this looks great on the runway, guys, in my opinion avoid this
look, but maybe some of you guys disagree, so let me know down in the comments if you
disagree with my thoughts on just this look is not going to catch on.
The next fashion trend we need to talk about, gentlemen, tie-dye.
Made popular in the 1970’s by those following the Grateful Dead and experimenting with drugs.
I actually have to admit in the 1990’s, I had a tie-dye shirt.
Not that I did any of those things I just talked about.
What’s funny is every time I wore that shirt, I got those comments.
And even to this day I think if you’re wearing a tie-dye piece of clothing, you’re going
to get that type of association.
But, if you want to experiment with the tie-dye shirt and see what people say, go for it.
So, the next item apparently in fashion this year, cowboy boots.
Now, western boots have a long stored history and I love them because they’re functional
and there are parts of the United States – Texas, Oklahoma where you’re going to see guys
pull this off even with suits and I think that’s perfectly fine.
But, for the vast majority of men, be very careful, this is something that’s going
to cost a lot of money.
And if you see western boots in a pink bubble gum color, be careful, this is probably not
going to be – it’s something most of you are not going to be able to pull off with
confidence.
So, apparently this next fashion trend is going to shock some of you guys this summer
when you’re shopping for shorts and that is shorts are getting shorter.
Now, the inseam on most shorts we’re talking seven inches, maybe six inches, but closer
probably to eight or nine inches.
What we’re going to see is this is getting a bit shorter on more fashionable brands.
So, be careful, you don’t want to go out and buy those pair of shorts and think, oh,
I’ve always bought from this brand, put them on and realize you’re wearing some
Daisy Dukes.
Be careful, guys.
Yes, they’re getting shorter.
So, apparently overalls are going to be in fashion this year and I’m going to say for
the vast majority of you especially if you’re not a bigger guy, overalls are not a piece
of clothing that’s going to look great on you.
They’re great if you’ve got a bit of a stomach.
If you’re an electrician, if you’re a plumber, if you want to support your college
team on game day and you want to be able to hide some beers, yes, overalls are great,
but for the vast majority of men especially thinner men smaller me, overalls are going
to basically swallow you up and they’re going to make you look smaller.
It’s not a good look for you.
The next fashion trend I’m going to recommend that you skip, the fire department jackets.
Apparently these are in vogue these are popping up in stores.
Guys, if you work for a fire department, that’s perfectly fine.
And why is this happening?
I think it has to do with a neon color and that they’re drawing a bit of attention.
Guys, but this is not a classic piece.
