Stylish TV Shows You Should Binge [0:00:00]
So, you got a little bit of extra time on your hands and you’re looking for a show
to binge-watch on Netflix or Amazon. Well, gents, I’ve got you covered because
in today’s video, over 25 stylish TV shows that every man should watch and learn from.
First up, we’ve got Netflix’s Ozark. So, if you’re in the money laundering, this
show is for you. And if you’re into casual style, Jason Bateman is doing a great job,
tons of great looks. And what I like about this is nothing really here super dressed
up, a lot of great simple looks that you can wear to the office, if you’re still going
into the office or just simply wear around the house and feel good about yourself.
And pay attention to the fit because the items we’re seeing the outfits we’re seeing
put together, nothing really special about them, but the fit is spot on.
Next up, we’ve got Sons of Anarchy which you can find over on Hulu, six seasons of
it. What I love about the show if you want a casual, yeah, rugged biker look, this is
the show for you. So, you’re not going to always pull this off, but if this is your
style, if you want to look for little bits of how you can give that tough guy type of
look, if that’s your style, go check out the show.
I’m not going to say that it’s for everybody, but if you like leather jackets, you like
a bit of violence and drugs, check out the show.
Next up, we’ve got HBO’s True Detective, and I absolutely love the soundtrack especially
on season one, the visuals are just spot on. It’s a little bit gritty, it’s a little
bit southern, but you’re going to see some familiar actors.
We got Matthew McConaughey, you’re going to see Woody Harrelson, you’re going to
see Colin Farrell. And these guys do not disappoint with their looks with their outfits. If you
like a little bit of violence, if you like cop movies, this is for you.
Next up, we’ve got Netflix’s House of Cards. Kevin Spacey, Michael Kelly, these
guys know how to pull off a suit especially a suit that sends the signal of power, that
sends the signal of this is what a top level White House guy is going to wear. So, check
it out if you’re into suits, if you’re into power suits.
Next up, we’ve to Amazon Prime’s The Boys. I have to admit this is a guilty pleasure.
And what I like about this especially things that are a little bit more sci-fi, a little
bit more outlandish is you can see a look that you really like and you can bring it
in. Now, I’m not going to say you can dress
like the Homelander, but I am saying that, hey, well, you could I guess dress like the
Homelander especially if you had his powers and his kind of messed up personality.
But, let’s look at all the regular characters here. We just got some really nice looks from
the jackets to the hair. Again, if you watch it from this perspective of style, all of
a sudden you start getting some ideas of things that you can bring into your wardrobe to add
a bit of flair. Next up, we’ve got Only Fools and Horses.
This show ran for almost twenty years. A lot of people in the States have never heard of
it, but let’s go check out Del Boy. What we’re looking for, look at the outlandish
style that he’s able to bring in from the flat cap that, yes, look at that flat cap
right there to the shearling jacket mixed in with a bright colors. If you’re looking
for a style that’s going to help you stand apart, something that’s a little bit outlandish,
this is the show for you. Next up, we’ve got Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
So, yes, the main character is a woman, but look at the supporting cast. So many great-looking
men and inspiration pieces you can take from the 1950s. You’re going to find this over
on Amazon Prime. A really fun just good show and, yeah, you can get your wife to watch
it with you and you guys watch it together. Now, what you’re looking at is picking up
styles and details from all the supporting characters all the different looks.
Next up, we’ve got Justified over at Hulu, Timothy Olyphant. What I love about this show
right here, you got a US marshal wearing the western cap, the Canadian tuxedo, and pulling
this look off. So, if you’ve always wanted to bring in
western wear, you want to basically you felt you were a cowboy at heart, but you’re wondering
how can I dress this way in modern day looks, this is the show for you.
Next up, we’ve got Billions featuring Damian Lewis. Now, there’s a whole supporting cast
here and there’s a lot of different looks, but what I like is the fun casual style. Yeah,
we see these guys dressed up in suits, but we also see them have fun with their casual
style. And, again, the costume department with this
show really is on point, tons of great ideas, tons of very interesting some pretty bad looks,
but also some fun ones. So, if you’re looking for inspiration, go check this out.
Next up, we’ve got Californication. And if you’re looking for casual outfits which
were going to attract the ladies, this is the show for you.
So, the main character here, Hank Moody, this guy has a substance abuse issues. He’s a
rider. Everyone’s a rider in LA. But, he is still able to go out there and just be
a complete womanizer throughout this movie. So, if you want to be entertained, you want
to have a little bit of fun, you get a good laugh, then this is a great show. And it’s
got really good writing and, again, I just love all the different casual outfit ideas
you can take from this show. Next up, we’ve got Mr. Selfridge featuring
Jeremy Piven. And this is set at the beginning of the 20th century, so you’re going back
in time here. And what I love about this, look at all the great outfits.
So, yeah, the main actor, he’s doing a great job especially with contrasting vests right
there. But, what else do we see? Let’s look around, just the supporting cast, they nail
it. Again, I love these great costume departments with all these shows coming in and giving
us a peek into a time period and also giving us inspiration for our own outfits.
And for our next show, let’s stick with the same time period, but go over to the United
States, Boardwalk Empire. So, this is all about gangster life in the 1920s. We’ve
got Steve Buscemi with a great supporting cast and we just really see how these guys
they’ve got money. They realized they’re on top of the game, they don’t know if this
world is going to last forever and the outfits reflect that.
[0:04:57] A lot of great hats here. That’s what I
love with these shows especially the time period ones, you get to see all these different
hats, you see them play with color at the same time being able to actually wear the
clothing that conforms to the day. So many great inspirations here for a great show.
Next up, we’ve got James Roday in Dule Hill and the buddy comedy, Psych. So, throughout
the show, what do we see? Great casual outfit ideas and how these things actually work in
the real world. So, again, you’re looking for something
that’s beyond the suit, not as dressed as novice formal, this is going to be the show
for you and these guys actually have some pretty strong watch game as well.
Next up, we’ve got The Kominsky Method with Alan Arkin and Michael Douglas. What I like
about this if you’re a guy in your 50s, 60s, 70s, this is the show for you how to
still dress with style. Yeah, a lot of older guys they’re finding their colors are changing,
their skin is changing. Everything is about seasons and these guys
not only nail it with the colors, but actually show you how to bring in fun things like scarves,
hats. So, if you’re looking for style inspiration for an older man, this is your show.
Next up, we’ve got Hannibal was on for two seasons. You can find it over on Amazon Prime.
If you want to watch serial killer with style, this is your show. So, what I like about a
lot of the outfits, a lot of the suits that we see, there’s not a lot of solids although
from a distance they look solid, you get up close, you see the use of patterns.
You see him bringing in the three-piece suit even black tie. What I love, again, about
the show is that they have fun with something that looks normal on the outside, but once
you look underneath, yeah, it’s anything but.
Speaking of serial killers, let’s talk about Michael C. Hall in Dexter. I think this one
went on for about seven years, tons of great casual outfit ideas. Yeah, he’s even got
a particular killing outfit and he went for a henley.
You know what I’m talking about if you watched the show. Really cool how with just got tons
of different ideas here. He likes the monochromatic look, at the same time, he’s not afraid
to, you know, get a little bit dirty wearing his clothing.
Next up, we’ve got White Gold available on Netflix. This is a British comedy, a lot
of Americans haven’t watched. If you want to get a peek into the 1980s what window salesman
were wearing, guys, this is the show for you. Yeah, who would have expected these guys could
pull off double-breasted suits like they are. But overall, I think actually the fit they
nail a bit better than they probably did in the 1980s. And, overall, again, the costume
department does a great job. So, if you like suits, you like double-breasted, this is the
show for you. Next up, we’ve got Idris Elba in the British
crime drama, Luther. What I love about this is Idris’ use of layers. So, he makes things
interesting because, yeah, just clothing with one layer is okay, but how he brings in layer
after layer from overcoat to his tweed jackets to the shirts, the entire combinations right
there really work especially if you’ve got darker colored skin, basically that type of
complexion. Look at the color and the way that he’s able just to make things pop,
a great show for style. Next up, we’ve got 30 Rock which you can
stream right now over on Amazon Prime. So, it’s got Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, great supporting
cast. And if you’re looking how to wear a suit, this is a great show for you. But,
it’s got some also amazing quotes. So, Tina Fey, she’s asking Alec Baldwin,
“Is that a tuxedo?” He’s like, “Yeah. It’s after 6:00 PM. What am I, a farmer?”
Now, I have nothing against farmers, they make things happen. But, he understands that
there is place a time for wearing black tie. After 6:00 PM whenever you want to get dressed
up and set the ambiance, yeah, 30 Rock great show.
Next up, we’ve got Matthew Bomer in White Collar. You can stream this over on Hulu.
And, if you like Thomas Crown Affair, you’re going to love this show. Tons of great suits,
a little bit of, yeah, a little bit of mischief, a little bit of things getting stolen, but
a great show when it comes just to suit fit and, again, a great supporting cast.
I love the ladies in the show as well, but it’s the men, again, that we’re checking
out the way that they’re wearing those suits, the colors that they’re wearing and the
fit, spot on. Next up, How I Met Your Mother which you can
stream over at Hulu. So, nine seasons. And what’s the character that I most love? Of
course, the legendary Barney Stinson played by Neil Patrick Harris.
This guy he brought two, I mean everyone now knows suit up because of this character. And
what I like about is he always had the confidence to dress the way he wanted to. Yeah, no one
else around him is wearing a suit, but he’s wearing a suit because he understand it gives
him a leg up, it projects the message he wants to project. So, if you’re looking for just
a little bit of inspiration a little bit of comedy, a great show.
Next up, we’ve got Lucifer featuring Tom Ellis. So, I was a little bit upset, I thought
they were going to cancel the show and thankfully Netflix brought it back, got out a new season.
And, yes, Lucifer, it’s a fun show if you like supernatural type of stuff. And it is
a great show if you’re looking for a guy that really knows how to rock a great-looking
suit, a great style. And speaking of the supernatural, let’s
talk about the show, Supernatural. I’m going to add this to this list simply because I
think the main characters do a great job with their outerwear. Dean Winchester, yeah, that
leather jacket the fatigue jacket makes him look like a badass.
Castiel, he’s got that trench coat along with the tie and the other, yeah, he just
looks really good for an angel. And then, you’ve got Sam. Sam knows how to pull off
plaid. And this last reason which has nothing to do with style, they did a crossover with
Scooby Doo which in my book makes them friggin awesome.
[0:09:57] Next up, we’ve got Boston Legal. You can
stream this over on Hulu. Now, if you want to a master class on how to dress conservatively
for a law firm, this is the show for you. Next up, we’ve got Don Johnson and Philip
Michael Thomas in Miami Vice. You want a show that defines the time period the 1980’s
Miami, Florida? This is the show for you. So, we see Tubbs, what is he pulling off here?
Double-breasted jacket, doesn’t matter of the weather, the guy is still looking stylish
looking good. Crockett, what’s he pulling off? Single-breasted jackets, lighter colors,
having fun with some brighter color with the shirts and leaving the front unbuttoned.
Now, if you want things simple as in drawn out, then you want to check out Archer Sterling
in the show Archer. So, it’s an illustrative comedy and what I love about this it’s been
around for ten years. This show is funny, but it’s also something that you can see
the power of a daily uniform. Next up, we’ve got Downtown Abbey. You could
stream it over on Amazon Prime. This show was on for five years. And, again, this has
so many great examples of style that you can learn from. Yeah, it’s a set piece and it’s
something that was set in a time period that you may say a lot of the stuff is outdated,
but just watch the show and you’re going to be able to see all of these great little
bits of inspiration. So many great looks, so many great outfits.
And speaking of retro style, we’ve got Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby in the show Peaky
Blinders, amazing. If you want to look on how to wear a flat cap, how to wear a newsboy,
this is the show for you. How to accessorize with a suit, all the different things you
can bring in from the pocket watch to little bits of jewelry here and there, great piece.
And, how when you’re wearing a suit, if it fits you properly that you can still, yeah,
put your fist up and you can make things happen with them. A great show if you like that kind
of stuff. The next stylish TV show that you want to
binge, Suits. You can find it over on Hulu. And when we’re watching Suits, who are we
watching? Harvey Specter. The guy has tons of great quotes. And what I love with his
confidence what I love with his brains is how he matches it up with his image and his
style. Impeccable suits by Tom Ford and the fit on these suits is spot on.
Now, you’re going to see a wide variety of outfits with the supporting cast and what
I also like about the show is they paid attention to the details. So, look at the accessories
look at the shoes, you’re going to find that they were spot on.
Next up, we’ve got Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in Sherlock. So, this is
the show that put Benedict Cumberbatch on the map, and it’s a great show. And what
I love about this much like the character is from the outside, it looks simple. But,
once you start to look at their outfits the clothing pieces they’re putting together,
you realize these are complex from the headwear to the outer wear to the layers that they
use. And they use great use of patterns, great
use of different materials. So, look at the details pay attention to the style and you
look at the show with new eyes. And coming in at number 1, gentlemen, no surprise
here, we’ve got Mad Men, set in the 1950s going into the 1960s. This show set the standard
for what a costume department could do, how to inspire just millions of men to dress better.
Now, morally you could say, yeah, the show is a little bit bankrupt there, but when it
comes down to writing when it comes down to acting, Jon Hamm, John Slattery, I love what
they did with it. And especially if you want to see just a wide variety of different supporting
characters brining in their own unique style, tons to look at if you watch the show from
a style perspective. So, what video to watch next? How about my
top pick for movies when it comes to style? If you haven’t seen this list, you want
to go check it out. I go over 30 movies that I think are incredibly stylish that every
man should check out. [0:13:20] End of audio
