Look Stylish Without Trying [0:00:00]
If you’re around men’s style long enough, you’re going to hear the word sprezzatura.
It’s a four hundred-year old Italian word that for many guys is the [pintacle] of men’s
style.
It’s to look sharp, to look amazing without even trying.
So, how to achieve that?
Guys, that’s the subject of today’s video.
[Music] Tip number one.
Make sure everything in your wardrobe coordinates.
You’re going to for the interchangeable wardrobe.
That’s where all of your shoes, all of your trousers, all of your shirts, all of your
jackets work together.
So, you got three pairs of shoes that are interchangeable with three trousers with three
shirts with three jackets.
That’s eighty one combinations.
That’s almost enough clothing to go three months without wearing the same thing.
So, let’s start off with a section of the interchangeable wardrobe – your footwear.
What you want to do is stick with a similar color or a series of colors in each section,
so with your trousers, with your shirts, with your boots.
I love boots, they simply work for my area and you notice right here, I’ve got two
different shades.
They’re about the same style, then I bring in a different shade, but a different style.
And you notice because they’re all brown, I can safely assume, okay, all of my accessories
are going to work with this.
And let’s talk about trousers.
So, 90% of the trousers I wear on a day to day basis are going to be blue and gray because
those two colors work with almost everything in my interchangeable wardrobe.
Now, the nice thing about blue is blue jeans I absolutely love a dark-colored blue jeans,
it works for my lifestyle, it definitely works with the boots, and it’s going to match
almost any sports jacket in my arsenal right over here.
Next up, let’s talk about the shirts that make up the majority of my interchangeable
wardrobe.
You’re going to notice that two colors dominate – blue and white.
If you think that’s boring, you’ve got no imagination, guys.
Just look at these beautiful patterns here.
You can go with something like that.
Any one of these shirts are going to go with any of my interchangeable trousers and are
going to work with my sports jackets.
Now, let’s talk about the jackets in my interchangeable wardrobe.
You notice, three colors dominate.
We’ve got the browns, we have the blues, and we have the greens.
Guys, I can simply take what I talk about earlier.
Those blue jeans, bring in some boots.
This shirt right here, notice how this combination will look just great with the sports jacket
or with a leather jacket with a trucker jacket with a suede jacket.
That’s because I took the time to put together an interchangeable wardrobe where every item
is going to work with every other piece.
So, my next tip for you to dress sharp without having to think about it, work with a style
curator.
This is an expert that understands body types, understands complexions.
They could look at you and listen to you about your needs and your wants and they can put
together a set of outfits so that you can start to look sharp without having to really
put in much work.
That could cost you quite a bit of money if you want to work with someone who their sole
job is to go in and put together pieces, but it could be worth it.
Now, if you’re looking for less expensive option, an option doesn’t matter where you’re
at in the world, guys, go check out Bombfell, the paid sponsor of today’s video.
Guys, Bombfell is an easier way for men to get better clothes.
It’s fully personalized.
Every piece has been handpicked for you by your own stylist.
Now, this is how it works.
First, you sign up and you indicate your measurements and style preferences.
Next, you set up your order.
You let them know exactly what you want to get or you can just say, hey, surprise me
based off these preferences.
Next, you get to preview email.
And this is your stylist, they put together an outfit and you get to actually look at
the outfit before they send it out and say I like this or I don’t, so you can cancel
you can change anything, you can let them know you don’t like it, or you can just
confirm the order.
Next, you receive the clothing.
You’ve got seven days to try the clothing on before you’re charged.
You return what you don’t like and you only pay for what you keep.
All right, guys, so this is what I got from Bombfell.
This outfit here, what do you think?
This is the fit of the shirt, I really actually like it.
The fit was spot on.
Now, the sweater, I wouldn’t have normally chosen this sweater especially with the herringbone
pattern, maybe with that casual pocket on the left arm right there, but I actually like
it and, again, the fit is spot on.
Next up, let’s talk about the pants.
The fit is spot on and the style is pretty good.
The only thing I don’t really like about it is going to be right here on the thighs.
It’s got a little bit of a lighter color.
I like my denim just a solid color throughout.
So, for this reason, I probably would send this denim back.
So, another cool thing I like about Bombfell is if you keep two items, you save 10%, you
keep three items, you save 15%, you keep four items, you save 20% on the entire purchase.
Guys, I’m linking to Bombfell down in the description of this video with the best deal
you’re going to find out there, $25 off your first purchase.
To take advantage of this, go to Bombfell.com/RMRS.
Again, that’s B-O-M-B-F-E-L-L.com/RMRS for the best deal you’re going to find out there.
The next step to looking amazing without having to do much work is to purge your closet of
all the clutter all the items that are in the way and basically are distracting you
from looking your best.
So, anything that stained, anything that is irreparably damaged, anything that doesn’t
fit you, get a box and put a date on it, put everything in that box.
I mean take a couple of boxes, seal it up, put it at the back of your closet.
And if you don’t open it for a year, then donate those items.
[0:05:04] But now, look in your empty drawers, you’ve
maybe only three pairs of socks left.
So, go out there and purchase some nice new socks.
But, look at the socks you’re wearing, the ones you really like and by duplicates, nothing
wrong with having multiple pairs of socks that all look the same.
Then, look at your shoes, if you’re wearing the same boots again and again, maybe get
one, again, in a slightly different color, but the same style and that you start to develop
your uniform.
Your uniform sends the message you want to send and actually controls that image and
there’s nothing wrong with a man having a go-to uniform.
So, the next tip to improve your style without much effort is to level up your accessories.
And a lot of you guys resist spending good money on nice sunglasses or other pieces,
oftentimes this is a loop in which you simply don’t take care of your sunglasses because
you know they’re cheap and you’re rough with them.
But, I know for me, when I first spent good money on a nice pair of sunglasses, first
off, I saw that I could see much clearer.
They were – they were amazing and then all of a sudden I realized I did put them in the
case, I was careful.
Why not bring in some variety as well?
So, you know you like that, you know, cooler lens there, why not bring in something with
a bit of color?
Maybe a reflective lens.
Why not change it up bring in a pair of clubmasters?
It’s not full Wayfarers, but it is something that’s going to immediately change up the
look.
My point, gentlemen, is that accessories can have a huge effect on your overall look.
It’s like a chain, it’s only as strong as its weakest link, so make sure you pay
attention to the accessory.
Go for a fashion piece, go for a piece of higher quality, but change up your accessories,
have fun with them.
The next tip to level up your style without much effort, be prepared.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Have you ever had one of those mornings you got a big presentation and nothing is right?
You can’t find your keys, your sports jacket has a stain, you can’t find your trousers,
your shirt because it’s down in the laundry, your shoes are scuffed.
Guys, you are not prepared.
You want to make it easier so when you wake up everything is just simply laid out, everything
is in its place, everything can be found, everything is ready to go.
So, leverage valets.
I love things like these, they have got the sunglasses, they’ve got the keys, everything
is where it should be.
My jacket is hung, my trousers are ready, everything is pressed, your shoes are shined.
When you have systems like this, it is easy to look sharp.
All right, gents, so this next tip to level up your style without much work, it’s kind
of a mind act and that is you’re going to dress sharp for one person – yourself.
When you’re at home, you’re going to practice dressing sharp, you’re going to bring in
new styles, you’re going to try something different.
You are literally going to dress better at one home when no one sees you than you do
when you go out.
Why would you do this?
We worry about what other people think, but here is the deal is that most people are concerned
with themselves and it’s about you building confidence to become a better dressed man,
you’re practicing.
So all of a sudden you start to realized, I feel pretty good in this bowtie.
You wear it around town, nobody says anything, in fact, you get compliments.
You build up that confidence bit by bit and all of a sudden you become a sharp-dressed
man just simply by practicing and dressing better on your own.
The next tip for you to level up your style without much effort is to steal the style
of your favorite celebrity, of your favorite musician, of your favorite actor, and, guys,
no one’s going to notice except you.
You’re going to look at yourself in the mirror and you’re going to say, I look great.
So, maybe you’ve got a complexion like Edris Elba, look at the colors that work with his
dark complexion and steal those.
Maybe you’ve got the built of Ryan Gosling and you’ve got his lighter complexion, then
look at what looks great on this guy.
