﻿How To Dress Like John Wick [0:00:00]
Thomas: Guys, there’s no doubt about it. John Wick is one of the coolest action
heroes to grace the silver screen since James Bond. And, just like James Bond,
John Wick really knows how to rock a suit. But, what is it about John Wick that makes him
so stylish and can you steal that for yourself? Thomas, with Real Men Real Style here.
Guys, it’s time for a style challenge. Today, I’m going to show you how to master the
look of John Wick. Let’s start with the clothing. You’ll almost always see John Wick in a suit,
typically in black, but sometimes in a dark charcoal gray. When it comes to the style,
Italian. The number of buttons on the jacket, two. And for the lining, tactical. Now,
that last bit may be hard to do unless you have access to John’s tailor, Angelo.
Now, many guys think that black is the quintessential color for a suit. That’s
actually not correct. Black is very stark somber color. And it’s best safe for funerals
or formal events that call for a tuxedo. For most guys, a charcoal gray or navy suit
is going to be a better choice that can be worn in almost any situation. But, John Wick is an
assassin out for revenge, so the starkness of the black suit works well with his character.
Next up is the dress shirt. John wears both white and black dress shirts,
typically with French cuffs. Now, wearing a black shirt with a suit isn’t recommended
as it brings down the formality of the look. But, hey, I’m not going to be the one to tell
that to John Wick. And, from time to time, you’ll also see him rock a black turtleneck with a suit.
Next up is the tie. He keeps it simple with a silk necktie in solid black
with no noticeable pattern or texture. Based on the thickness of the knot,
I suspect he’s using a half-Windsor. For a timepiece, John has a Manero AutoDate,
which is a beautiful automatic watch. But, let’s just say the price tag is a little
bit steep for this video, so I’m going to switch it out for a budget option instead.
The key features to nail is a black alligator strap, silver case, white dial,
and overall sleek elegant dress watch design. He wears it on the inside of his wrist,
which is likely to help protect the watch from getting broken while he’s fighting. To top it off,
he goes with a simple black leather dress belt. Now, you won’t see him rocking many other
accessories. He doesn’t wear a pocket square, a tie bar, or a lapel pin.
Now, for footwear, John goes with a pair of simple black bluchers. Typically,
I would recommend oxfords instead of bluchers to go with the suit, as they are more formal.
The main difference between the two is the open versus closed lacing system.
Basically, the oxfords have a sleeker more elegant silhouette, but, again,
I’m not going to argue with John Wick. And, of course, John Wick wouldn’t be John
Wick without some quality hardware, which includes everything from pistols to carbines to shotguns.
Now, let’s talk about the grooming. John rocks a close-cropped beard. He keeps it relatively short
and tidy. So, I don’t really need to do much with my beard here, I’m just going to take a
trimmer and clean up the neckline a bit. Antonio: All right, gents. Whether you’re using
an electric, safety, or cartridge razor, consider using an aftershave balm. Applying this after you
shave helps to cool the skin and prevent redness. Now, gents, the grooming products you see in
today’s video, brought to you by Vitaman. And, instead of me telling you how awesome
they are, how about I put a link down in the description
of today’s video, so you can try them for free? Seriously, gents, use that link in the description
to grab a sample kit over at Vitaman for free. Thomas: For the haircut, he’s grown his hair
out to almost shoulder length. Now, my hair isn’t quite long enough, but if I
concentrated really hard and think of a bad guy killing my dog, yeah, I’m thinking I’m back.
