So, this video was deceptively difficult.
I had to go back go through hundreds of the old articles and videos, make sure I wasn't
rehashing the same information.
But, in today's video gentlemen, five style tips I have never shared before.
Tip number one, look for the stretch.
We're talking lycras, spandex, elastane, whatever you want to call it.
I'm looking for 2 to 5% in my jeans and in my t-shirts.
This helps them maintain the shape after a multiple washes and wears.
And, it's also going to make them feel better especially if you've got hard to fit areas
maybe in your chest, maybe you've got, you know, kind of a slim torso, maybe you've got
large buttocks, large waist, whatever it may be, large thighs, a little bit of stretch
is going to make them fit better and is going to keep the shape.
Tip number two, gentlemen, shave your sweater.
I'm serious about this.
Take a disposable razor and when your sweater starts to look worn, it starts to peal, basically
you've got this excess fabric coming off, you just take a disposable razor over it,
it will take you five minutes and you get a sweater that looks almost like new.
All right, gentlemen, bonus tip.
I've said this one before, so I'm not going to include it in the five, but wear a unique
accessory that's a great conversation starter.
Basically, you want to have to something when people see it, they're like, wow, I've never
seen anything like that, tell me the story, or just starts the conversation.
Now, let me pull up Original Grain.
I've talked about these guys before.
They have been a sponsor for well over a year, but I don't think I've ever talked about the
story about Ryan and Andrew.
These are two brothers, they came together on Kickstarter and in thirty days raised almost
$400,000 back in 2013.
At that time, that was one of Kickstarter's most successful launches ever.
And the reason this was successful is they put out a great product.
They came and they wanted to create a new category of watches, something that was usually
exotic hardwoods with stainless steel.
It was a minimalist design, they really wanted something that wasn't cookie cutter that was
going to stand out.
Now, go through their website, checkout the four different unique collections.
I want you guys to let me know down in the comments which ones, you know, if I get extra
watches I love sending them your way.
But I want you to go check out their website, be specific about which one you're in love
with.
And just a few of the details, they ship worldwide for free.
We're talking 316L stainless steel Japanese miyota quartz movement.
They're good watches for the price especially in this particular category which they are
pioneers.
Tip number three, gentlemen, use layering to hide imperfections in your clothing.
Here's the scenario.
You're late for work, you go into your closet and your favorite dress shirts, they're all
at the cleaners or they're on the dirty laundry hamper.
You basically have nothing to wear except that dress shirt that you haven't had adjusted,
doesn't fit you very well is wrinkled, what are you doing to do?
Okay.
Take that dress shirt out, look at is the color good to go, are the cuffs good to go.
Okay, if they are, put on a V-neck sweater.
Boom!
You pretty much you are good to go and the best part about this if the V-necks were to
fit you well as it should all of a sudden it's going to bring in and it's going to make
that bad fit look like a good fit.
But, let's say the shirt is really it's a bad fit, tons of excess material here, you
need to get that to a tailor.
Well, you don't have time you got to get out the door here in two minutes.
Throw on a well-fitted undershirt on top of the dress shirt.
Yes.
Then, throw on the V-neck.
This is also going to hide the buttons, but it's going to take all that excess material,
it's going to bring it closer to the body, it's going to keep there and for this day
you'll be able to get by.
Now, make sure you take your clothing to the cleaners to get it adjusted whether it'd be
with a tailor, with a seamstress whoever.
Very simple to add darts to the back of the shirt to make it look better, but if you need
and immediate fix, this tip is going to serve you well.
My next tip is wear your best fitted clothing when you go shopping.
Why?
Because whenever you go into the dressing room, you can simply take off those jeans,
you can take off that shirt, you can lay it out and all of those shirts that you want
to try on all of those jeans that you want to try on, instead of having to spend all
that time trying them on, you can simply put them on top of the clothing you were just
wearing.
And very quickly determine, wow, I'm not going to fit into those jeans because it's going
to be too tight in the thighs or those are way larger than the 32-32 I mean that I'm
used to wearing.
Medium from one brand is not the same as medium in another, but how your clothing fits especially
with your best-fitted clothing, you'll know that and you'll be able to compare apples
to apples and say, you know what?
I like the look and the feel of these, but it's just a little bit too tight or it's a
little bit too loose or I found the gold and then you buy multiples.
So, my next tip here is another shopping tip and this if you've got two items that look
very similar, you can't make a decision between the two.
Let's say they're priced about the same, you like them both.
You only need one of them though you're not going to buy multiples here.
Two great looking blazer jackets.
Okay, what you do is you look on the inside.
The design the attention to detail, the craftsmanship on the inside of the clothing is a very easy
way to quickly determine the quality, it's a designer's calling card.
So, if you turn out those shirts those jeans inside out and the stitching on one is really
bad and the other one, it's very carefully done, there aren't excess threads coming off,
go with that one because it's a signal of higher quality.
All right, gentlemen, bonus tip.
So, if you're about to go into that dressing room, look around grab one more item that
is going to push the envelope for you.
Something a little bit edgy, maybe something a little bit fashionable, something in a color
that you wouldn't normally wear whether it'd be jeans, whether it'd be a shirt, whether
it�d be a jacket, try it on.
Try on that pair of shoes which you wouldn't normally try, it looks a little bit maybe
too fashion forward.
But, here's the deal, is past the certain point, we stop experimenting.
We, as men we get into this comfort zone.
You want to occasionally push yourself outside of that because you may surprise yourself
and find that you look really great in that particular pair of shoes or in that shirt.
All right, gentlemen.
Now, it's your turn.
So, if you caught on one of these style points, Antonio, I remember three years ago, you talked
about this in one of your videos, let me know down in the comments.
And go check out Original Grain, a great sponsor.
They've been sponsoring my channel for over a year.

choose a winner, send it out to you guys.
