So, go to Google, type in men style advice and you're going to see a lot of information.
And, unfortunately just because there's a lot of information does not mean there's good
information.
I see so many bad tips horrible advice, so I brought together ten of I think some of
the worst pieces of men style advice out there and I've got them for you here in this video.
Bad style tip number one.
Image is not as important as substance or as your body or as whatever they want to say
your education.
And you know what?
If that's actually what they meant by that statement, I would agree, I think that actually
your education you being in shape your substance of you who are, of course that is more important
than the clothing.
If you've watched any of my videos, you know that's what I stand for, but most of these
proclamations that's not what they're saying.
They are it's like a zero -- some game for them, somehow that if you pay attention to
your image you are not paying attention and you are just neglecting those other things.
It's like a chain.
Think of it, it's as strong as its weakest link.
When you dress like the man you know yourself to be and you've put forth that image it just
does nothing, but enhance you.
Bad style advice number two.
A man can wear a suit and look great.
That's not true.
To wear a suit properly you have to pay attention to fit, fabric, and function because if you
don't that suit is going to wear you.
And, let me be really clear about this, the suit is right for certain occasions that's
why function is in know that three things I talked about there, but also pay attention
to the fit of that suit.
Have you taken it to get adjusted?
You can have a $2,000 suit and it's going to look like a cheap knockoff just horrible
suit, it's going to look bad on you if it's not actually fitted to adjust you.
The fabric, go with the best you can afford, but I think this is the place you can compromise
sometimes, but if you're doing better in life, then start to actually invest in the fabric
and the build and material of what you're wearing.
The key point is you can't just wear anything and think it's going to look great even if
it's the right item for the actual event, you need to pay attention to those small details
otherwise you're just wearing a costume.
Bad style tip number three.
How to react to image problem?
So, what am I talking about here?
Okay.
So, you know that you're about to graduate from grad school and you're going to go into
a new industry and you need a new wardrobe you're moving to New York City, why haven't
you actually spent the time and effort to build up that wardrobe over time because when
you are reacting to problems, you're spending more time, you're spending more money and
it is just a pain.
So, guys, there are many things that are going to happen in life that you know when it comes
to your image that you can control and you can start taking steps now.
So, I want to bring in the sponsor of this video, guys, Tiege Hanley.
If you haven't heard of this company, guys, they are making skin care uncomplicated for
men and let me explain.
So, every single month, you get a box just like this with everything you need to take
care of your skin.
It's freaking amazing.
And I know the founders, you guys probably know, Aaron Marino, one of the founders.
You may not know that Rob and Kelly, his other partners, these guys together have in my opinion
and I'm being honest here, these guys are going to revolutionize the skin care industry
because what happens is men no longer have to be reactionary.
You're not going to look at yourself in the mirror and say, oh, my gosh, wow, I'm actually
starting to look my age.
Instead of that actually imagine having a system in place that can keep that at bay,
that's what these guys have done.
And knowing them, actually I went to the lab, I saw what they did.
They took apart $200 products, I mean, yes, some of that stuff is expensive and they made
it affordable.
They broke down what exactly works, what doesn't.
Let me show you what I really love.
Their system, they send you this card and it tells you exactly how to use it.
What they send you, they've got three different systems you can check out.
The one they've got a basic system, then they've got one that actually has some for underneath
your eyes you can put it right on there and then they've got also a super serum.
Yes, I've been using that for the last year-and-a-half.
So the super serum for those of you guys maybe that were getting old, but older and you want
to reduce wrinkles.
But for many guys I think just starting off with their simple wash.
So, they send you enough of this for an entire month, then the scrub which you're not going
to do every day, but you're going to do this a couple of times a week and they tell you
exactly how to do it, only twice a week.
So, they're really clear about to use this.
And that's what I love, is they've taken skin care and they've made it incredibly uncomplicated.
Even in they have an AM skin care lotion.
They have a PM and they explain why they're different, why you want to use them.
The AM actually has an SPF of 20 which if you're not familiar, sun is going to damage
your skin.
Again, guys, so you're not reacting to the situation, you're actually being proactive
that ounce of prevention is worth that pound of cure.
Bad style tip number four.
Let your woman dress you.
Now, I love it when my wife buttons up my dress shirt in the morning and she, you know,
she helps straight my collar and looks at me and inspects me before I go out the door.
But, that's, you know, I'm not I'm not five years old, my wife should not be dressing
me.
Your mother should still not be dressing you.
If you are a grown man, it's about being independent it's about you controlling your own image.
Now, I think you can take advice from women, I think there are some great consultants out
there putting out solid information.
But, when it comes down to it, every man is responsible for himself, so make sure that
you're buying and picking out your own clothes.
Bad style tip number five.
Buying all of your clothing at once.
Now, I definitely see the advantage of this.
I used to own a custom clothier and we had a package discount.
But, on the negative side of that if you don't know what you want, if your style is still
developing, you need to buy it piece by piece because you need to try it on, you need to
see if you like it.
The problem is if you buy too many items at one time, you may get a great deal, but you
may find that you're stuck with a lot of clothing which you don't really like.
Bad style tip number six.
It's on sale, so buy it.
That's not no, if it's on sale, it could possibly be a good deal, but if it doesn't fit into
your lifestyle if it doesn't fit your body if it doesn't fit your needs, do not buy even
if it's 95% off.
The only exception to this is if you know it's going to work for somebody else, you
know their exact measurements perhaps you are an image consultant or a personal shopper,
yes, then of course you could buy it.
Bad style tip number seven.
You don't need clothing to symbolize your status in society.
I mean gosh just look at Mark Zuckerberg.
Let me be clear, you're not Mark Zuckerberg and Mark if you're watching, feel free to
reach out to me, we can do some business together.
But, the point is is that he isn't outlier so is Steve Jobs so is anyone else that is
oftentimes used as an example celebrities.
This type of people can walk into a place and because of the facial recognition, I mean
people just instantly know them, roll out the red carpet.
For the rest of us, it's something that you're meeting people that you don't know they have
no way to judge you except how do you present yourself what do they see from the outside.
You may have that fancy degree, you may be the CEO of your company that's a multi-million
dollar company, but I can't I don't know that I can't read your mind and I'm, you know,
so give me the benefit of the doubt and actually treat other people with respect.
I love what Tom Ford said, dressing well is good manners, and I agree with that.
Bad style tip number eight.
Expensive equals better quality.
That can sometimes be the case, but it's not always.
Oftentimes when you're paying more, you're either buying it in a specialty shop which
just has to be able to afford where they're actually selling it.
It could be the brand, sometimes it does have to do with quality.
But, I think it's important that every men understand to be able to identify quality
to be able to look at the inside of the clothing, to be able to try it on to be able to feel
and to be able to touch it and to be able to tell is this good quality or is it not
and make that decision based off of what you see not the price.
Bad style tip number nine.
Imitate celebrities or go with what's in fashion.
So, this can be dangerous.
This can actually work to your advantage, but understand when it's in fashion it will
also fall out of fashion, so it has a shelf life.
Sometimes fashions do become classic styles, but I advise a man just go with the classic
styles that way you can spend a bit more, get better quality, and you'll be able to
wear it for five years, ten years, or wear it at least into the ground.
Now, when it comes to imitating celebrities, be careful because the celebrity you're imitating
may have a different body type, different complexion, and what looks good on him is
not necessarily going to look good on you.
Bad style tip number ten.
You need to buy more stuff.
No.
You don't need to have a closet full of things that you never wear, instead make sure that
everything you buy you love and, yes, you may pay a little bit more for it, but make
sure that you're going to wear it into the ground.
I would rather see you have a wardrobe that's interchangeable that everything when you put
it on, you feel confident and you feel great and you can get away with a lot less than
what you think.
All right, gentlemen, so now it's your turn.
I want to hear from you down in the comments what do you think of this video, what could
I have added, what would have made this video better.
Do you have any style tips which are horrible which I missed and you think should have been
added?

Guys, but I stand behind this company.
I've watched Aaron, Kelly, Rob and the chemist built this up over the last year-and-a-half
almost two years, it doesn't get much better than what they're doing here guys, so go check
them out.
That's it, guys.
Take care.

Bye.
