Gentlemen welcome to another episode of Mantelligence. In today's video,
Kaye, Larry, and I are channeling the fashion police and dishing out
all the things men should never wear. Today, we're giving your wardrobe an update
and teaching you how to walk with confidence. This episode is inspired
by the Gentleman's Gazette's video where he spilled all the fashion mistakes
men commit in their life. And because we want you to look your best, we'll also be sharing
fashion tips so you can walk with confidence everywhere you go.
Are you ready for a style upgrade? Let's get started.
5. Really Bad Jeans Since its invention during the 1870s,
jeans have become a classic wardrobe staple in anyone's closet.
They go well with any pair of shoes, a button-down shirt, a classic white tee,
or a blazer. They look great as casual wear, as formal wear,
and they will last you all your life. However, not all jeans are made the same,
and some of them are better left collecting dust in your closet.
According to Madeleine A. Fugère, a psychology professor
and author of The Social Psychology of Attraction and Romantic Relationships,
good looks are the strongest factor influencing attraction.
So if you're wondering how to make a girl fall in love with you,
you might want to pay attention to the clothes you wear.
What does that have to do with looking good, you might ask.
A study conducted by Kelton Research found that being well-dressed helps you fare better
in relationships and makes you appear
sexier, smarter, cooler, and more successful. In fact, 91 percent of Americans think dressing
well can make a man appear more physically attractive
than he really is, while 64 percent believe women are more likely to marry a well-dressed
man than one who isn't as put together. And wearing a pair of jeans that
don't give your look any justice doesn't really say '"put together".
If you're still wearing embroidered jeans, jorts, cropped jeans, skinny jeans, jogger jeans,
jeggings, baggy dad jeans, ripped jeans, colored jeans, stop it.
Unless you want to look like Johnny Bravo with his gawky legs, or Willy Wonka,
of course. These abominations you call pants are the things men should never wear ever.
If you want to know how to walk with confidence, investing in a good pair of jeans
or any pants, for that matter, goes a long way. The next time you go shopping,
make sure it fits your size, body type, and go for jeans with good stitching
and no heavy embellishments. Remember- classy, not tacky. Trying to woo a girl?

4. Drop the Top
We're done with pants. We're raiding your tops next
and first on our burn list are deep v-neck shirts. Initially, v-necks were invented
as an undergarment for dress shirts without a collar peeking out,
but men later found out that they look good even on their own. I mean, why not?
They frame your face better and make your shoulder look broader and your torso longer.
Deep v-necks, however, are just plain ridiculous. Unless you're from Jersey shore,
take them off. Next on this list of things men should never wear are slogan shirts
that aren't really funny. You know the kind- "I'm with stupid," "Do you even lift, bro?"
or the classic "Send nudes." Take this as a public service announcement- they're not cool.
If you want to know how to be more confident, learning a thing or two
about the alpha male body language will make you appear cooler. Besides,
a cool outfit is nothing without a confident body language. Lastly,
if you own one of those flashy, slinky, and shiny going-out shirts, get rid of it.
You're not in Dancing with the Stars. If you want to look good all day, every day,
bank on versatile pieces such as button-down shirts, dress shirts, polo shirts, henley shirts,
and a basic t-shirt. They're classy, and you can dress them down or
up whenever you want. Just make sure you get the right fit.

alpha male body language. 3. Watch Your Step
Speaking of walking with confidence, you can't expect people to take you seriously
when you're wearing one of these shoes. When it comes to crafting a great ensemble,
shoes can make or break an outfit. In fact, according to celebrity stylist Cary Robinson,
aside from wearing ill-fitting clothes, wearing the wrong shoes cheapens a look very fast.
First off, the square-toe shoe. This geometrical disgrace ruins men's fashion
by making your feet look heavy, bulky, and unnaturally square.
And do you know what's worse than a square-toe shoe? Pointy toe shoes.
They just look weird, and you're running the risk of stabbing someone
every time you wear them. These kinds of shoes were better off in the 17th century.
So for your sake and everyone else's,
pluck them out of your wardrobe and never look back.
In case you're still not aware of it, wearing crocs in public is a fashion crime
and should be illegal. And so is wearing flip-flops, sandals,
and the abomination that is sandals with socks. They don't look good with any outfit
other than your pajamas. Unless you genuinely want to be avoided,
make sure you're never seen wearing one.
How many of these fashion crimes are you committing? Guilty or not, we're here to help.
There are more on this list of things men should never wear
and make sure you stay tuned in because at the end of this video,
we'll be sharing fashion tips to help you look your best
and walk with confidence everywhere you go. Let's get to it.
2. Suit Up Wearing a suit always leaves a killer impression
and is one of the best ways to attract girls without talking to them.
Heck, even the ladies are starting to wear it. They say there's no man alive
who doesn't look good in a suit but neigh- we beg to differ.
Gentlemen, wearing a suit that's too small or too big
is worse than being caught in a deep v-neck. Whether you like it or not,
we're all in the business of selling ourselves- to your boss, client, and
even to a potential match. If you want to know how to be more confident around girls,
investing in a suit that's properly cut and styled is a good way to start.
As the legendary Barney Stinson would say, "Suit up. Score chicks. Be awesome."
According to famous fashion designer Alan Flusser, a suit should neither be tight
nor loose, and you should be able to sit comfortably in a buttoned jacket
without feeling the need to unbutton it. Don't know what a good fit looks like?
Here are some pointers to remember:
First off, a well-fitted shoulder should lie flat. It shouldn't hike up along your shoulder bone
nor dangle down on your upper bicep. For good measure,
the seam on top of the shoulder should be the same length as your shoulder bone.
For the fit, when you're checking how the front of the jacket closes over your body,
make sure that the two sides meet neatly. If the lapels hang forward off of your body,
it's too loose, and if the lower edges of the jacket flare out like a skirt, it's too tight.
For the sleeve length, the rule of thumb is
you should only see half-inch of the shirt you're wearing under it.
Your jacket should fall past your waist and drape over the top of the curve
formed by the buttocks. For your trousers, the back of it
should be a smooth drape over the shape of your rear end,
and its cuff should rest on the top of your shoe. Wondering how to attract girls without talking to
them? Check out this video. 1. Bad Accessories
Lastly, we all need a little razzle-dazzle for our outfits.
If you're going to wear any accessories, make sure you're not overdoing it.
More importantly, never wear tacky ones. Gaudy rings, studded belts,
belts with big, square buckles, wallet chains,
or sunglasses that don't match your face shape never flattered anyone.
Of course, your accessories should always match your clothes.
Just imagine wearing a belt with sweatpants or a tie with a shirt. Ridiculous.
Now that you know what not to wear, it's time you learn some essential style tips.
First off, stick to solid neutral colors like white, black, navy, olive, grey, khaki, and brown.
These colors provide a perfect base for your outfits and make you look more refined
and put together. If you want to take your OOTD's up a notch,
a printed top with neutral-colored pants always does the trick.
It also helps to know what color matches your skin tone. Peach, coral, amber, gold, brown,
mustard yellow, and warm reds look great on men with warm skin tones.
If you have cool-toned skin, hues that contrast your skin tone will bring some color
into your complexion. Think grey, brown, burgundy, bottle green, navy,
and bold shades of blue. Lastly, when matching your clothes, contrast is always key.
Light top, dark bottom, light shoes. Dark top, light bottom, dark shoes.
You can also use the color wheel as your guide. Complementary colors
such as red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple always go well together,
but they can look a bit intense when worn together,
so the key is to make one of them a darker shade.
