Gentlemen, I get it.
You want to try something new maybe even try a fashion trend, but you're a little bit hesitant
because you don't want to look like a fool.
In today's video, gents, ten tips on how to experiment with your style with almost zero
risk.
Now, I probably need to clarify that there is no such thing as zero risk, you take a
risk when you walk out your door.
But, with each of these tips I tried to make them inexpensive, I tried to make them reversible,
and I tried to make them easy to execute on.
Each of those criteria are going to be found with all ten items here.
So, without further ado, gents, let's dive into it.
Tip number one.
Change your hairstyle.
Did you guys notice?
I hope you did.
You probably watched enough videos that you've seen me with the same hairstyle.
I've grown it out over the last few months.
But, this right here I didn't go get any different cut, all I did was comb it differently this
morning and I simply am experimenting.
The great part about this, the one action I took today didn't cost me anything and is
easily reversible and is almost a no risk when it comes to experimenting with your style.
I would love to hear from you guys in the comments what you think of this new hairstyle
if I should maybe let it grow out, try something different.
Tip number two and closely related to tip number one.
Try a different hair product.
And if you don't try hair product or you don't put anything in your hair to keep it hold
or to give it a bit of shine, maybe give it a shot.
There are tons of options out there.
In the description down below I'm going to link over to an infographic which kind of
explain things and show you how to put the stuff together.
But, understand if you've been using the same product for years, maybe you want to add a
bit of shine or maybe you want to get rid of the shine, maybe you want to go for something
a bit more hold and maybe let your hair grow out.
Maybe you want to actually try a different type of brush.
So many different things that you can do, again, with your hair and the cost the risk
just about zero.
Tip number three.
Have fun with your belt.
Belts are divided in two parts.
We've got the buckle, we've got the strap.
So, first off let's talk about different buckle options.
You can go with something simple classic like this one for a dress belt or you can change
it up.
Have something that's going to be a bit more casual, you're going to be able to see the
strap here.
But, maybe change up the color.
I'm a silver guy.
I've got cooler tones, I feel it works for me, but maybe I want to bring in a brass buckle.
Brass is actually going to work for cool and warm tones.
Gold is going to be more for warmer tones.
Now, by the way, all the buckles and all the straps I'm about to show you are brought to
you by Anson Belt.
I want you to go check them out.
Father-son company, I've worked with these guys for almost eight years.
Yes, you heard that right and I have stayed in touch.
I love to support small entrepreneurs like this and now, they're a sponsor of this video.
And that's what's cool is when you build a relationship, you see that business grow and
you're able to work with them to bring you guys great product because this one right
here, look at this.
Okay.
So, very this is a pretty tame belt, it's going to match most of the shoes.
Actually, the shoes I'm wearing right now, then you can bring an oxblood, maybe a light
brown.
But, what I love about Anson Belt and Buckle is their interchangeable belt system.
So, I can bring in three buckles, three straps, guess what?
I've got nine combinations.
Now, everything I just showed you here relatively tame, right?
Well, there are a lot of other options over at Anson Belt and Buckle.
And guess what?
You can start to bring in color to your belt.
You can bring up a lot of other options.
And by the way, so look at this right here.
You want to be, you know, a little bit patriotic here in the United States, red, white, or
blue.
Now, what other countries?
I actually have this combination, but the red right here, this right here is definitely
going to draw attention.
And, again, on a pretty tame outfit, something that may be doesn't have a lot of color, you
can do that with the belt and have fun.
Again, why I love Anson Belt and Buckle and by the way, I'm going to link to it in the
description.
Go check them out.
I support that company because they've got a great product at a great price.
But, fitting it with these points, guys, experiment have fun and when you have an interchangeable
system like this, it makes it easy.
Tip number four.
Have fun with your socks.
So, many options out there for bright colored socks, for patterned socks, and the great
part about this is you're not going to put it in anyone's face.
You don't show off your socks.
This is something that's not going to cost you a whole lot.
If you don't like them, simply go back to your black socks.
It's something that, yeah, only occasionally are people going to see this.
You may get a few compliments, you may like it and it's an easy way to up your style with
almost no risk.
Tip number five.
Glasses.
Change out your glasses.
A lot of times we are creatures of habit and we stick with the same style again and again.
So, if you've been going with those, yeah, kind of like rectangle frames that don't really
have, you know, maybe they've got a half frame to them, maybe try and change it up.
Maybe try something round or maybe with something with a much more like a club master.
A much more pronounced frame.
You know there's nothing wrong with owning two, three, four pairs.
Maybe bring in some color.
You know if you can't hide your glasses, own them.
All of a sudden you've got these blues and if really want to go bold, look at this red
one right here.
You can build up to this, you don't have to get crazy here.
But, having three to four pairs especially when you buy them online, you can find that
you can get some pretty good deals and I love the idea of you having options when it comes
to your eyewear.
Next stop, we've got shirts.
Now, you may notice this pattern right here, it's got a small little floral or repeating
pattern.
This one is from Tailor Store.
It's a custom shirt, but I've also had this one and you guys have probably seen this from
Grand Frank.
I mean this one is bright.
Now, a lot of these shirts aren't as expensive as you would think.
This one from Ledbury and I know you guys don't like me to wear this one on film because
it hurts your eyes.
But you could also go in and find something that has a, you know, a lavender color and
it's got a twill herringbone weave pattern right here.
And I love it, I mean just it's beautiful.
And, not only is that kind of a bold color for some men, but that pattern in there may
not be something in their wardrobe.
And, it doesn't have to just be that, it can also be something maybe a casual shirt with
a bit of embroidery.
The key is shirts relative-wise are not as expensive and it's something that you could
try introducing to your wardrobe and see how see how people react and have fun with it.
Number seven on this list.
Jewelry.
So, a lot of options out there.
I have one friend, he got rid of all the buttons on his sleeves of his dress shirts and went
cufflinks and he doesn't wear jackets all the time.
And I think it's a really great signature look for him.
Now, I've talked about bracelets.
Not going to work for every guy, but you might as well give them a shot, you might as well
try them.
You know keep them, you know, on the [download] there are so many options.
This is Zorrata by the way.
But, guys what you want to do is go out there and try it.
My next step is to change the fit of some of your clothing.
I remember the first time I actually wore a well-fitted pair of jeans.
Before that, I have to admit I was I was in the loose jeans, that was pretty much my style.
And it was my sister that took me shopping and said, you know, I want you to try this
and, you may feel a little bit uncomfortable, but just wear them for a day and let know.
We can always bring them back here to the store.
And, I swear that they I got so many compliments, I felt good.
It took me a couple of days to get used to it, but all of a sudden actually those jeans
fit better than any I'd ever had.
And, guys the risk is relatively low because especially if you buy them from a store that
has a good return policy.
But, try maybe sizing down, most men are wearing clothing that is too big on them.
Tip number nine.
Limit yourself to fifteen items for a week and see if you can wear only those fifteen
items and may be try to go to two weeks.
The concept that I'm trying to get across here is that you actually need less clothing
than what you think.
And when you realized you can get through a month with fifteen items of clothing, you
start to realize you know what?
Most of what I own in my wardrobe I don't need and that puts you in a position to be
able to spend more for better quality on what you do own and slowly upgrade those items.
My final tip for you to experiment with your fashion at almost zero risk is to go into
a thrift store and see what you can find.
And there are two reasons why I love thrift stores.
They're incredibly inexpensive.
The other one is that they are free from fashion trends.
Think about it, everything there is donated and it's coming from different time periods.
You've got stuff come off from the 1960's, stuff coming from the 1990's and it's all
being thrown together and you need to go in there and identify and that's where all these
knowledge watching my videos watching Aaron Marino's videos.
You use our information to be able to go in these thrift stores and to see gold.
All right.
So, bonus round, I'm going to quickly throw out some things and I do want to hear from
you guys in the comments what I missed.
But, I didn't talk about changing out laces and how you can have fun with bright laces,
how you can actually go in and maybe change out the buttons.
You've got a navy suit and you want to turn it into a blazer, maybe have fun with some,
you know, cool brass or gold or maybe even mother of pearl buttons.
Actually, going in and adding a pocket square, changing out the pocket square.
Maybe change up the folds on the pocket square.
Bring in a flower on your lapel.
Guys, so many ways that you can experiment with your style and it's not going to cost
you much.
You can simply you can take out that flower if you feel someone is making fun of you,
you don't like the look, and it's not, again, going to cost you much except the time to
take action.
Gentlemen, so I'm going to wrap this up by giving you two I think really good reasons
to go check out Anson Belt and Buckle.
Number one, they've got some great gift packages.
So, if you need a gift and you got to give it to a guy that's pretty much got anything,
I can tell you, he probably doesn't have a belt like this or a belt system and that's
what I love.
They take in like two buckles, you can choose three from belts, put it together and you've
got a gift which is going to basically fit anyone.
And got it set up so that these come in really long and you can cut them with a regular pair
of scissors and adjust it to fit you perfectly.
And, if I didn't mention it before, what I love is that system.
So, there are no belt loops.
This is the first thing that I remember right there and very a simple system.
Overall, guys, a great company.
I love them.
You should check them out.
And that's it.
I'll see you in the next video.
Take care.
