7 ODD Pieces Of Clothing [0:00:00]
First up on this list, a large shiny watch.
Notice I didn’t say expensive because if you look around you can find some great options
for around a hundred dollars.
The point here is you want to wear a watch that’s going to get noticed.
The watch right here, a classic dress watch that can be found for about a hundred bucks.
What I like about this is the white dial.
With my wrist, a little bit darker skin, it’s going to create a good contrast.
If you’ve got lighter skin, maybe look for a darker, a blue dial.
Something that’s going to create contrast, something right there that is going to get
noticed.
And I want to stress the part about the shine especially if you’re going for compliments.
This G-SHOCK has the size.
It functionally is a solid watch.
But, if you want something that’s going to get compliments, this one is probably not
the watch.
Now, let’s look at this Timex.
It’s a bit smaller, it doesn’t fit the exact definition, but I like that it’s got
more shine, more contrast on the dial.
This one I think is going to get more compliments than that G-SHOCK.
Personally, though, if I want to get max compliments, I would go with a watch with contrasting metals.
This one with the gold, with the steel right in there, with the blue dial, this one just
screams, look at me.
[Music] Next up on the list, gents, footwear that
makes you look like a rock star.
A great example here the jodhpur boot.
Now, the jodhpur boot has been around for about a hundred years.
In fact, as the name implies, it comes from India.
We go to the 1920s, we see polo players using this boot on the fields back then and the
strap was very functional, keep the boot in place and the heel right here to keep the
rider in the saddle.
A boot like this nowadays, not seen very often and that’s why I like it.
It’s got style, it has history.
And when you rock a pair like this, you’re going to stand taller and you’re going to
look amazing.
Very similar in style, we have a harness boot.
Notice right here, you got that piece of hardware, going to provide contrast.
The shape overall, very similar to the jodhpur and notice, this is also made from suede.
That jodhpur which I showed you had a suede as well, but the suede is going to be a classic
material.
Again, a lot of guys aren’t pulling off suede, so you can change up not only the style,
but the material of your shoes and, again, be able to get compliments because you stand
out from the crowd.
And maybe you’re from Texas or Oklahoma, living out on the West Coast, then why not
bring back your cowboy boot.
Yeah, you didn’t wear it too much when you’re back home, but you want to stand out, you
want to have something that represents your heritage your beliefs where you’re from,
well, why not rock a classic western boot?
And if that’s too much for you and let’s say you live over on the East Coast, then
why not bring in brogues.
Brogues, I love because you got this leather work done.
Basically, these engravings right here in the leather.
There’s a wide range of different type of brogues.
You can go with a full wing brogue, you can go with a half brogue.
Tons of options out there depending on your style, it’s going to be a more casual shoe.
At the same time, it comes in a dress shoe design, so that you can wear it with a sports
jacket, you can wear it with a suit, you can simply wear it with jeans and a nice shirt.
And, of course, dressing sharp does not mean you have to wear dress shoes or dress boots.
That being said, if you’re going to go with sneakers, make sure you go with a material
that comes off as higher quality.
And look for contrast.
Maybe with those dark blue jeans, wear those white sneakers that all of a sudden going
to pop and make sure they’re clean.
Of if you’re going to go with a darker sneaker and get tired of black, then look maybe at
a dark brown, again, in leather.
I like this right here where you’re using out the leather laces.
The material is key when it comes to sneakers especially if you want something that’s
going to get compliments.
The next item to add to your wardrobe so that you get more compliments, improve your grooming
routine.
That comes with the products that you put on your body.
We’re talking your skin, we’re talking your shaving routine, we’re talking your
hair.
If you hair is on point, if you don’t have any nicks or cuts that are visible and your
skin looks amazing, guess what?
You’re going to get compliments because you just look healthy, you look good.
Seriously, is your skin all dry and scaling and flaking?
That’s not a good look.
With your hair, when was the last time you tried something different?
Maybe cheat on your barber, go find a stylist, try a new product that you’ve never tried
in your hair and go for a style that, yes, is a little bit pushing the envelope.
Get an opinion of a few other people and say, hey, can I change up the way I’m combing
my hair?
Can I go with a different hair style?
Can I maybe even color my hair?
All that being said, gents, the easiest way to improve your grooming routine is to improve
the grooming products that you’re putting on your skin.
You want natural products, you want products designed for men.
So, how to make this upgrade?
Gents, I made it easy for you, go check out Vitaman.
Right now, Vitaman has a free sample kit in which you get a variety of products that you
can try and you can see the Vitaman difference.
Now, as many of you guys know, I am an owner of Vitaman, so I’m a little bit biased.
But, I do think we make the best damn grooming products on the planet using indigenous ingredients
from Australia.
This is basically the outback pharmacy that we’ve put into a bottle when it comes to
skincare, when it comes to your hair products, when it comes to shaving products.
Guys, go check out what we’ve got at Vitaman and you can try it for free.
Again, down in the description of today’s video, I’ve got a link over to our free
sample kit, where you can try out the products free for yourself to see if they’re really
as good as I say.
Seriously, gents, it’s a no-brainer.
Use that link down in the description of today’s video.
Go grab your sample kit over at Vitaman for free.
So, this next item on the list is definitely one that some guys would consider odd, something
that they have never worn, but really should try and that is the bowtie.
You’re going to hear the necktie, oh, it’s dying.
But, the bowtie is actually made a bit of resurgence.
And many guys down in the Southern United States will tell you the bowtie never left.
[0:05:05] Now, bowties especially the black bowtie,
we see it in black tie.
But, day to day wear, you only see maybe Economics professors pulling this off.
But, the point is is I think that this is a great look especially if you’re a fun
loving guy.
Maybe you’re a tough guy, maybe you want to try something that is just going to be
outside the box, something when people see you dress up like this, they’re going to
be, “Wow! he looks actually really good.”
Now, the key with the bowtie is proportions.
And I’ve got a whole infographic that break out the exact size.
We also have an infographic and I’ve got a whole video I’ll link to down in the description
on how to tie a bowtie.
But, really, it’s a great way to be able to add I think a levity a bit of fun into
your wardrobe.
It’s going to help you stand out and you could bet when you wear a bowtie, you are
going to get compliments.
And a side note, a bowtie is just as formal as a regular necktie.
Now, gents, what you will not find on today’s list video, fragrances.
I mean, I love fragrances.
And if you like fragrances, do me a favor, smash that like button.
But, seriously, guys, I’ve made so many videos on fragrances.
I’m like, you know what?
I’ll give this one a little bit of a break.
But, seriously, if you like fragrances, if you hate fragrances, if you got something
to say about fragrances, let me hear it down in the comments.
But, guys, yeah, like this video because when you interact with these videos, more men find
them and that helps, you know, just helps the channel and I appreciate it.
Next up on this list, gents, we’ve got the vest.
I think that more men should pull off the vest especially if you are built well, it’s
a great way an athletic man to be able to show off his build.
It is such a dressier look especially in a hot weather if you’re going to be at a wedding,
then just simply wearing a dress shirt and nice pants.
You put that vest over especially if it’s the right length, it’s got a little bit
of a contrasting material with those trousers, this can create just a seamless look that
really I think, yeah, looks amazing.
Now, you can find them at thrift stores, you can walk into stores like Suit Supply, tons
of options over there.
Point being is the vest is classic menswear.
This has been around for over a hundred years, was worn initially by men that were messengers.
They wanted to have additional clothing underneath their jackets, so they started putting blankets
under there.
Eventually they were shaped to be basically an under jacket.
Point being is vest has served men for over a hundred years.
And nowadays, I don’t think more – I don’t think enough guys are wearing them just by
themselves.
They’re a little bit unsure how to do it.
Guys, give it a shot.
I’ve got a good friend, he does a lot of western dancing and it’s just his signature
look when he goes to the bar.
It sets him apart from everyone else in the crowd.
And, again, they come in a wide variety of formalities, materials, different styles.
I will link to down in the description complete infographic and article on vests.
So, if you’re interested in wearing these and pulling them off, you could actually do
your own research and figure out exactly how.
So, I don’t think this one’s odd, but when you look at men wearing jackets, it seems
the majority of men do think it’s odd and that is a pocket square.
So, what is a pocket square?
Basically, it’s a decoration that goes in the left breast pocket.
Most jackets have the breast pocket on the left hand side.
If you were to start with one, go with a white presidential fold.
This is going to be made from a linen or a cotton handkerchief.
Very easy to find, you can pick one up on Amazon or just go into a menswear store.
It should be only a few bucks.
It doesn’t have to be anything super expensive.
But, once you start wearing that little white presidential fold, you’re going to notice,
wow, I feel good, I feel like James Bond, I’ve got that whole look going.
And you’re to start bringing in maybe a variety of other pocket squares out there.
That’s when you go for the different folds, the puffs, all the other looks out there with
brighter colors.
And you’re going to find a whole world just simply it’s not, you know, I almost view
this as peacocking.
If you’re familiar with the game, you know what I’m talking about.
This is something that so many guys don’t do, but when you do it, I find I don’t even
have to wear a necktie.
But, when I wear that pocket square, people know that, hey, this guy, he knows how to
dress.
There’s just something about how he pulls it together.
Yes, he breaks a few rules here.
But, pocket squares, yeah, they are amazing and they will get you compliments.
Next up, let’s talk about rings and compliments.
When you wear a unique ring, you are going to get noticed.
But, what are the different types of rings?
How to pull off wearing all the different types of rings?
Guys, I got you covered in this video right here, where I go into detail all the different
types of rings and how a man can pull them off.
Guys, it’s a great video, very educational.
Go check out it, I know you’ll enjoy it.
Boom, click it.
It’s a good one, go check it out.
