﻿Style Secrets To Steal From The King's Man [0:00:00]
Style secret number one to steal from The King’s Man, own your look.
Seriously, in this movie, there is some pretty outlandish outfits. Yes,
it supposedly takes place over a hundred years ago, but there are certain characters
in this movie whose looks let’s just say would be challenging to pull off.
That being said, they don’t just pull off these looks, they look damn good doing it. From blue
sashes to leather-on-leather to Rasputin wearing a dress with a full face of makeup,
the guy still looks intimidating. My point here is a guy can actually
wear pretty much anything and if he wears it with enough confidence, he can pull it off.
Now, am I recommending you go out there and wear a dress and makeup? No. What I’m saying
is think through the image you want to send to the world, then develop a uniform, a look. Practice
wearing this and then wear it with confidence. In today’s video, gents, style secrets you can
steal from The King’s Man. [Music]
Style secret number two, timeless classics are always in fashion. Now, the movie supposedly
takes place between the years 1914 and 1916. Well over a hundred years ago. Yet, when you look at
their average day-to-day outfits, what do you notice? You could still pull this off in 2021.
Now, yes, in many situations, they would be a bit overly dressed, a bit too formal,
maybe a bit too preppy. But, for many situations that look would be fine a hundred years later.
The point here is that classic menswear doesn’t change very quickly. And if you’re going to make
an investment in your wardrobe, one of the best places to start is to look at the classics,
the things that are not going anywhere. That white dress shirt going with a pair of dark
denim. Looking at boots, maybe looking at dress shoes, some wingtips,
a denim jacket. These have been in men’s wardrobe for 40, 50, over a hundred years, so guess what?
You can spend a bit more money here and not feel bad that this is going to be outdated too soon.
Now, that being said, there are certain accessories, certain things in a man’s
wardrobe that have kind of gone the way of the dodo. One of those items are suspenders. Now,
of course, you can still find them out there, but most trousers are not made high waisted
and do not come with suspender buttons and they’re becoming harder and harder to find. So,
what is the modern man use to keep his pants up? Well, of course, the belt.
Now, gents, there’s a lot of different belt options out there, but you guys know my favorite,
Anson Belt and Buckle and why? Because of the innovation. So, if you haven’t
checked this out, guys, you are in for a treat. What sets today’s sponsor, Anson Belt and Buckle,
apart from all the other companies out there is their microadjust system. Basically,
this technology allows you to have a holeless belt. You can adjust to a quarter of an inch
and, guys, this is just a much more comfortable and better looking experience.
Seriously, you no longer have to deal with the antiquated system of the belt hole. Also,
notice how the belt holes always get worked how they get bent up and out of shape. It
just doesn’t look good as a microadjusted belt. And, Anson’s a lot more than just a microadjust
technology. Look at all the different styles they’ve got for straps. What I love is that you’ve
got all these different strap options. You’ve got all of these different buckle options.
And since all of these is interchangeable, you have three buckles, you have three straps.
Nine combinations right there. I love the interchangeable wardrobe. I love the fact
you have an interchangeable belt system here. Now, guys, if you’re looking to get started with
Anson Belt and Buckle and wanting to give this as a gift, they’ve got a great option for you right
now. Any three straps with any three buckles. Now, normally Anson Belt and Buckle only gives you
two buckles with three straps or two straps with three buckles. This is a bonus. So,
to take advantage of this deal, use that link in the description of today’s video and use it or
lose it. This is not going to be around forever. And when it comes to customer service, Anson
treats you like family. Seriously, if you have any issues, they’re a family-owned business, you reach
right out to them, they will take care of you. And, gents, if you don’t believe me, check out the
reviews. They’ve got almost 30,000 reviews online. People raving about their customer service,
about the quality of the belt, how they’re the most comfortable belts they’ve ever owned.
And, gents, little known fact. One of the first videos I ever put on this channel was
an unpaid Anson review. I just simply love their belts almost a decade ago
when I found them and to this day, they’ve been just a great company to work with.
It’s an American company that’s family run. So, check them out,
use that link in the description to get the best deal on the web. Check them out, awesome company,
Anson Belt and Buckle. Proud to support them. The next style secret to steal from The King’s
Man, function leads fashion. So, with a lot of these unique looks we see in the movie, one of
the things I like about this is they’re actually pretty accurate and it just goes to show how a lot
of the materials a lot of the clothing that we use has a history to it. And what was the history?
Let’s take the leather-on-leather. Why do people wear leather? Because for the longest time,
it was incredibly durable, it could take a beating, it was something that would protect
the skin, yet, it was malleable. It was something that can move with the body.
So, if you need something that’s going to keep you warm, it’s going to help,
you know, you’re up flying, you want something that’s going to keep the wind
out, you look towards a bomber leather jacket. And even reiterating that earlier point about
classic menswear, when you find something that’s functional, something that looks good,
something that over time has evolved to compliment the male the masculine build and all of a sudden,
you’re able to put this on. What you’re putting on is a bit of history and that’s what I love classic
pieces that have that functional history. [0:05:02]
And when you find those, it’s worth investing a bit more and wearing them just with confidence.
Practice wearing them, all of a sudden you can bring them into your wardrobe.
The next style secret to steal from The King’s Man, pay attention to your hair.
Do you notice that even after jumping out of a plane, landing on the side of the cliff,
their hair is always on point? After a big fight, look at them, I mean, the hair looks good. You
could save the world and your hair still needs to look good. Why? Because grooming matters.
Seriously, though, it’s funny how that movie magic works. You just save the world, follow these bad
guys, your hair is perfectly in place. But, I think what it does shows, that we have an idea,
we have an image of what a good looking man looks like and his hair being on point is key.
So, schedule those times to go in and see the barber. Maybe go for a haircut that’s going
to be really easy to keep in place. Use a product that keeps your hair in place and really enhances
the look over all of your hair and make sure you choose a style that compliments your face shape.
Now, gents, if you’ve enjoyed any of The King’s Man movies, do me a favor and smash that like
button. By engaging with these videos, it reaches more people and it lets me know to
create more videos like this. Oh! And down in the comments,
I’d love to hear from you guys on the most iconic looks, the most iconic moments in The King’s Man
movies. Seriously, your favorite parts from any of the movies, let me known down below.
The next style secret to steal from The King’s Man, the right shoe for the job. So,
you’re on the side of the mountain, you need a shoe with grip. If you live in an area that
gets a lot of rain, you get a lot of snow, maybe look at boots. I think boots are such
a great piece to have in a man’s wardrobe. But, a lot of guys default maybe just to
running shoes, they don’t really pay attention. Guys, so many options when it comes to footwear,
it’s the foundation of your wardrobe. And you want to find pieces that not only look good,
but are functional. Maybe have those rubber soles, you can get more grip.
And this applies to dress shoes as well. I do really like a leather sole,
but maybe having some rubber right there at the bottom to be able to give you grip especially
if you’re in the city, if it rains a lot. Or maybe you want to find a pair of galoshes.
Tons of options out there that can help make sure that you not only take care of your footwear,
but it looks good when you’re wearing it. The next lesson to take from The King’s Man
is that people judge a book by its cover. The way that you dress, the way that you present yourself,
the way that you look, people are going to make a snap judgment.
We see this again and again in The King’s Man whenever they come up to the tailor
shop. What happens first time they see it? They’re like, “What is this place? We must
be in the wrong area.” They have an expectation of what these places is based off of what they
see. Then, they go in and they’re surprised. Human beings do this all the time. We see people
and we judge them. We not only judge them, but we put them in a box of where we believe they’re
at on the success scale in terms of what they’re going to offer us, in terms of where they are.
And we do this naturally simply because it’s a shortcut. It allows us to be able to make sense of
all the information being thrown at us. But, this can be incredibly wrong. But,
what you want to do is make sure that every time you get dressed, you use this to your advantage.
Remember Susan Boyle? Everyone had an expectation of how Susan was going to sound based off on how
she looked, yet when she opened up her mouth and she sang, all of a sudden people were
blown away because it went against expectations. She was fighting against the tide. You don’t want
to be looking, you know, like someone that doesn’t belong and then – because most of the time,
you will not get Susan’s chance. She had a chance for people to hear her.
Most people will not listen to you if you do not look the part. If you don’t dress in a way
that people are going to respect you, then you’re going to find a lot of people aren’t even give you
time to explain yourself. So, don’t shoot yourself in the foot, always dress in a manner that you are
going to put your best foot forward. The next style lesson to steal from The
King’s Man, the details matter. So, what do we notice? They’ve got a special ring,
a ring that vast majority of the world would not notice, but other people pick
up on especially other King’s Man. They all of a sudden know, hey, you’re part of a club.
Understand that whether it’s a watch, whether it’s an additional piece of jewelry,
whether it’s, you know, just a small style detail with color that you put on your clothing, all of
a sudden, you’re going to join a club. People that pay attention to these small details.
There’s all different groups out there all different things. You know you see it with memes,
you see it with maybe things you hear. Whatever it may be, it’s something that you pick up on
and you get to choose what club you’re going to be a part of. But, I do recommend that if you
have aspirations to be successful that you understand what those signs are.
And I’m not saying you go out there and just buy a really fancy watch because you want to
aspire to be successful. But, I am saying pay attention to those small details.
We saw this in the military. If a guy if he doesn’t pay attention to his uniform,
you bet, he’s not going to pay attention to the inner workings of his rifle,
he’s not going to clean it out. And if you’re got rust on the inside of your rifle,
then that thing is not going to be able to fire. Yes, I know that’s judging a book by its cover,
but we all do it and it’s something that you want to make sure that you’re covered, sends the signal
sends the message you wanted to send. The next style secret to steal, manners
maketh the man. Seriously, manners matter a lot. And I love that they bring the saying in.
And if you want to hear me explain it in full detail, check out this video right here,
where I explain modern manners that every man needs to know. And I talk about the
definition where this actually comes from. So, it’s good video, check it out, guys,
right here. I had fun putting it together and it’s a good one. Yes, click right here. Good one.
Come on. Come on. It’s bad manners to leave me hanging like this. Click the
video. Go check it out. [0:10:08] End of audio
