Welcome back to the Gentleman’s Gazette!
In today's video, we discuss things men wear that women hate.
Basically, it's all about mistakes in men's appearances and it comes down to two big points.
By the way, this list was created by my wife and business partner.
She consulted with a bunch of women and ultimately created it so don't take it just from me,
but from an educated classy woman.
The first category is cries for attention but there are certainly subcategories.
The first one is what she calls the douchebag professional.
Basically, it's a guy who has achieved some success in his career, and he wants to show
the world what big of a fish he is, at the end of the day, it's a man who dresses simply
to try to impress other people with his wealth.
Let's start by saying that wearing things merely to get attention, he's usually quite
transparent because you wear big logos, you wear flashy big things, maybe diamonds, maybe
a big watch, or strong colors in pink, and it's just a very transparent thing and it
will always show that you're just trying too hard.
The bad news is classy women don't look for someone who is insecure and constantly needs
attention instead, they want someone who is steadfast and at ease with themselves and
has developed their own style.
The second type who always cries for attention is the man who unbuttons the dress shirt past
the second button.
Sometimes all the way down to the belly button.
Chances are they like to have a tan, maybe lots of gold jewelry, and sometimes it's simply
there to show off maybe their six-pack, or their style.
Again, it's over the top and it's really there to gather attention.
Just like the douchebag professional, the guy who's into flashy brands defines himself
all about the brand.
It's not so much about the quality or the history about it, it's all about that price
tag and what is perceived when you wear it.
You probably see them wearing huge Burberry patterns, maybe they have Goyard purses, or
something that can be easily spotted from yards away.
It's simply tacky and not something a classy woman would like.
The fourth category is the man who follows trends and fashions obsessively.
That means, they either have super short pants, super tight pants, maybe they wear a beanie
with everything, or have super distressed jeans, and they always have the newest thing
and the latest thing, the biggest phone, the whatever is the newest and latest.
Very few women find these cries of attention attractive because they make you look like
you care more about how you're perceived than about her and that's always a bad thing.
Yes, you shouldn't be sloppy and you should care about the way you look because it has
a huge impact.

So apart from the cry for attention, the other category is laziness.
No woman wants to be embarrassed by her partner especially if she pays attention to the way
she looks.
If you make wardrobe choices that are lazy, it just shows that you don't care and it makes
you a less attractive to them.
So one of the things that make you look lazy are t-shirts.
Even if you think they fit well chances are, they don’t.
Even if you have a really strong v-shape and you're very muscular, it can look attractive
but at the same time, there are other garments such as a polo shirt, or a dress shirt, that
make you even more attractive.
So if it can be more attractive, why would you consciously choose to be less attractive
by wearing a t-shirt?
It makes zero sense.
To learn more about why a t-shirt doesn't flatter your physique, please check out this
video here.
In any case, if you wear a t-shirt underneath a sweater or a dress shirt and it's visible,
it's a style faux pas.
The second thing which shouts lazy is a backpack.
It's something you wear maybe on an expedition, or something that you wore when you were a
little schoolboy, but if you're a man with a backpack, it just signals it's an immature
man and that's not very attractive.
The third item goes in the same vein, a baseball hat.
Yes, it may be practical and you don't have to wash your hair and put it on, but it makes
you look like a college pro rather than a mature man and therefore, you should maybe
upgrade.
If you want to wear a hat, think about maybe a fedora, maybe a flat cap, but a baseball
cap is always wrong.
The fourth item that makes you look lazy is an athletic garment or a sports jersey outside
a gym or an arena.
There's a place and a time for athletic wear but it's not in public.
When you're in a social setting, it makes you look like all you want is personal comfort
without actually thinking about your outward appearance.
Another thing that makes you really look lazy is if you wear garments that don't fit you.
That could be a jacket that’s either way too big or way too tight, or maybe if the
sleeves are too short or too long, because it shows that you didn't pay attention and
that you didn't go to an alterations tailor and made an effort.
The same is true if you wear shirt collars that are way too big, maybe clothing that
is stained, or ties from the 90s that were maybe handed down from you or at least they
looked like they were.
One of the things that screams laziness the most in terms of fit is probably pants that
are too long.
I see it day in and day out where men have jeans or other pants that are simply way too
long especially in the US.
Because of that, I suggest you always go to an alteration tailor.
It costs just a few bucks and it really helps you to look dapper.

The sixth item that screams laziness are flip flops.
Now, I can see if you are at the beach, maybe at a pool, it's perfectly fine to wear them,
but if you wear them just to walk around or hang out with your friends, it's a certain
element of laziness because you can't be bothered to put on socks and a nice pair of shoes.
Seven, hoodies really scream laziness because they're just comfortable, they're easy to
put on, you don't have to wash them very often.
While that's something you may have worn during your college days when you're studying for
a test, it's not something a grown man should wear in public.
Actually even at home, I think a hoodie is just over the top because usually it's warm
enough that you don't need the hood and it's just something that screams lazy.
The eight item that makes you lazy are cargo pants because wearing cargo pants may be quite
practical and if you're in certain situations, that may be okay maybe at work, but if you
are in the presence of a classy woman, it just shows that you couldn't be bothered to
either take the items and store them somewhere else, or maybe take care of your outer appearance
because it will always destroy the seal with the way you look.
The ninth thing that says I'm super lazy is having ungroomed fingernails and toenails.
Even if you work in a job where your hands get dirty, you can make sure to invest in
a nice grooming nail kit, maybe a brush and some proper soap, and you can always clean
up your hands afterwards having nail dirt underneath your toes on your hands clean up.
Honestly, there's no need to spend a lot of money or time on a professional manicure.
You can do it at home in five minutes and we'll show you in this video how.
Ten, last but not least, one of the things that make you look super lazy is ungroomed
hair.
That can be your haircut, that can be your facial hair, let's say your eyebrows when
you have one that is super long, maybe you have a unibrow.
But one of the things that makes you probably look the least attractive and very old at
the same time, are having nose hair and your hair so always make sure you look at those
areas and if you see any hair, use a pair of tweezers or maybe a nose hair trimmer and
make sure you're neat.
Because not having well-groomed hair is a sign of lack of respect for yourself and therefore
also probably for others.
in today's video I'm wearing a outfit that shows that I'm not lazy it consists of a sport
coat which is part of a suit it has a kind of teal ish maybe petrol blue color so it's
a little more out there because of that I combine it with choir accessories such as
a white dress shirt with double cuffs a knit tie with a two-tone shine it's silk so there's
an interesting element but the colors are quite muted it's from Fort Belvedere and I
designed it myself I paired with a light yellow pocket square with a handmade X stitch it's
something that's very rare and it shows someone really paid attention to it so if you wear
it by extension it makes you look like you care you can find a selection of these pocket
squares in our shop here pants are slightly contrasting there are a mid gray there sharkskin
they have a light brown tone and they go quite well with the jacket to contrast things I
added a pair of tan or cognac colored shoes that are Goodyear welted
Monk straps the socks Tresa shoes there are a gray with a turquoise color that picks up
the color of my jacket and so it ties everything together the cufflinks Im wearing are amber
colored with gold I found them at a vintage flea market at Hungary for five bucks they
go well with my tie my pinkie ring on your hand is a bloodstone with likewise a gold
setting picks up the green tones of my jacket but it's dark just like the tie if you enjoyed
