How to dress expensive and I’m not talking about dressing in a way so that every gold
digger within a mile is running to jump on your lap.
No, no, that’s not what I’m talking about.
I’m talking about the guy that wants to walk in a room and be classically elegant.
He wants to walk in a room and people notice, wow, that guy got style.
If that sounds interesting to you, stick around.
You’re going to enjoy this video.
Number one on this list gentlemen make sure your clothing fits you.
You’ve hear me say this before.
Know the name of your tailor.
I may sound like a broken record but so many of you guys maybe you take your suits to get
them adjusted because it’s free when you buy the suit.
Not really.
They actually built it into the price.
But you get it done and you get it done once.
No. you want to get your suits adjusted to fit you every year because your body is changing.
That suits especially if it’s gathering dust you want to pull it off.
Check it.
See how it fits you and then get adjusted to fit you even better.
Now that’s where a lot of the boys focusing on.
But the men we focus in on our casual clothing.
So you take that casual button down.
You take that simple white dress shirt.
You get the sleeves shorten.
You get maybe broaden a little bit of darts in on the back.
You get these small adjustments which make a huge difference, and when walk in the room
even though it may be an inexpensive suit that you get on sale, people are like wow.
That suit that looks like a $2000 suit.
That’s what you’re shooting for guys – perfect fit.
And understand it’s a moving target because your body is changing so make sure you get
your clothing adjusted again and again.
Pop quiz guys.
Which one of these looks more expensive?
Both of these are jackets I love, I wear but I can tell you that one instantly to me looks
dressier.
It looks like it’s going to cost more money.
Why, because it’s simpler.
Because when you look at it, it just looks more elegant and that is one of the key points
of elegance is simplicity at its core.
You don’t have things added on for just having them there.
Yes, I love this jacket.
It’s functional.
It’s got the pockets on it.
But I ever use the pockets?
Pretty much no.
Now it’s got the hood but the hood got this oversized zipper on it.
This zipper is actually hidden out of the way.
So this is very functional.
Those small differences make a huge difference.
So when you’re looking at clothing don’t go for something that’s got crazy pockets,
contrast stitching, maybe a loud design.
You want something that is timeless, that is elegant, that is simple in design.
Pop quiz #2.
Which jacket looks more expensive?
Can you figure it out?
Again over here.
Why?
Okay.
We got the simplicity but look at that fabric.
This one is actually using a suede and the color.
This isn’t something that you see every day.
You know that you’re not going to walk into most stores and be able to find a jacket like
this.
This jacket, I love it.
But the contrast stitching on it makes it non-simple but other than that it’s a dark
brown leather Moto jacket.
Something that we’ve seen many times and because of the uniqueness of the fabric the
material used, this one is going to appear more expensive.
Pop quiz gentlemen.
Which wrist looks more expensive?
The left?
The right?
The left?
The right?
Which one?
Okay.
That’s it.
I’m just joking here.
But I do want to bring in the paid sponsor today’s video, Vincero.
Guys go check out their watches.
Now I talked before about the watch you wear and how people can instantly say this guy
got a special relationship with time.
He loves a good looking watch and that’s what Vincero has created at a fraction of
the price that you would expect for a watch that looks this beautiful.
Guys, you don’t believe me.
Go check them out.
I’m linking to them down in the description.
But let me pull some of their collections.
Go through look at that Bellwether.
This is got to be one of my favorites.
It’s one of their newer collections and I just love the look.
It’s got two complications.
The watch that I currently got on is going to be the silver and the white.
But I also have the blue steel.
Right here.
Look at this thing.
This is a beautiful watch and I love how the bands are actually interchangeable so I can
go from so I can from the steel.
I can with the blue leather depending on whatever I want to wear.
The next collection I want you guys to go check out is the Chrono collection.
Now I’ve got a couple of these watches as well and I love them.
They got the three complications, the working chronograph.
Just beautiful watches.
Finally gents, I want you to go check out their automatic watches.
This is something a lot of you guys have asked for.
They’ve got it.
Look at the various watches they’ve got here.
Look at that beautiful rose gold.
Wouldn’t that look good on your wrist or maybe you want to go with the white rose gold?
This one right here I think I actually would suit me simply because I’m more of a silver
guy but I find that I do like a little bit of gold that just great looking Italian leather
band.
I mean these are great looking watches, guys.
All right, gents, I got a couple of extra watches here in the office.
I would love to send your way.
This is the way it works.
You got to click on the link down in the description.
Go explore Vincero.
Choose the watch that you would love to have me send your way.
Tell me exactly the type of watch, what you’re going to wear it with, how and when you wear
it you’re going to feel more confident and how you’re going to look.
That’s what I want to hear.
[0:05:00] And if you just want to grab a watch cause
you want to send it out as a gift to your dad maybe to your brother, maybe to yourself
this holiday season use that discount code.
I’m putting it right down there.
It’s not going to be around forever.
It’s a good size discount, guys.
Go take advantage.
Great company.
I’ve received compliments on this watch.
I know that you will.
Go check them out.
Pop quiz #3.
Which of these shirts looks more expensive?
Now both of these shirts are custom.
Both of these shirts have white with blue.
But one of them looks to me more classic, more refine, something that would be more
expensive.
What do you think?
This shirt right there.
Why?
Because of the small pattern the more classic pattern.
Now this one right here is close and in fact if the stripe was just a little bit thinner,
if it didn’t have a subtle twill pattern in it.
When I look at this fabric itself, I thought this would make a great shirt.
When I had this shirt made I realized the pattern was too large.
They shouldn’t have actually put that twill in there and it just was way too overpowering.
So be careful of wearing patterns that are too overpowering, too large of a pattern is
basically going to make this shirt, going to make whatever you’re wearing basically
look – make it look cheap, make it look non-luxury.
Pop quiz #4 gentlemen.
Which shirt appears more expensive?
Focus here on the color.
Focus on the richness of the color, the attention to detail, the deepness of the hues.
This shirt right here appears more expensive.
Now it’s also more simple.
This one has embroidery on it and therefore it becomes much more casual.
But the color it’s basically been washed out.
Now this came with a faded overall look.
But understand color is going to have a big effect so darker colors, colors with actually
a deeper hue.
Now I’m not counting white especially in formal wear.
But darker colors like this they have just a deep rich hue to them.
There’s something about them that signals elegance.
Pop quiz #5 gentlemen.
Which one looks more expensive?
What do you think?
This one is a hard one, right.
And I’m just going to say this is a tie cause each of this have unique aspects which
makes them a little bit more elegant.
So this one right here, one, it’s a full suit.
You can probably see the trousers right in there and it’s also got a classic.
It’s a grey with a little bit of blue in there.
It’s got the pinstripe in there with a peek lapel.
It’s a great looking suit.
I love it.
Now there’s over here.
What’s interesting about it is it’s got a unique pattern.
Overall look at that.
You notice that inner lining.
How bright, how colorful that is.
The high notch lapel.
You got a little bit of contrast stitching in there, a little bit of purple.
It’s nice, two buttons, got an extra pocket, [0:07:38][inaudible] on the right.
Notice that just above.
Small details like this you can have fun with and I think notch up the value in the overall
look of the clothing.
What do you think about this, guys?
Do you think this was expensive?
Do you think it was inexpensive?
So it is a navy blue trench coat.
I can tell you this is a very expensive trench coat.
It’s actually custom made and the power is in what it is.
It’s a trench coat.
It’s a classic menswear piece that’s actually become very difficult to find.
In fact, this piece right here like I said I have to have this actually custom made.
Now what does that mean?
Whenever you’re going with something classic, you’re going with something that’s been
around for a long time.
The advantage to that is that you know it’s not going to go out of style.
Go back to World War I.
That’s where the trench coat became really powerful.
The key point here is when you go with the classics.
You go with something that is going to help you stand apart and you focus on everything
else I just talk about.
This right here.
I mean there’s nothing amazing about the fabric.
This is something you’ve probably seen many times.
But I can tell you that this jacket fits me amazingly well.
It’s also got some unique features.
Again, this was another custom job and it buttons all the way up so it fully covers
up here and covers my neck.
It works great.
But the fit, it actually fits me very well in and around the torso area so it gives a
slim overall cut.
You don’t see this very often.
Often time jackets are just going to be overly belt.
So all the detail I just talk about in this video it’s not about one of them.
It’s about you applying all of them so that when you put it all together instantly you
walk into a room and people like hey who is that guy.
He looks amazing.
He looks elegant.
He has style and that’s what we’re shooting for.
So guys let me know what you thought of this video down in the comment.
I love to hear from you.
