10 Things Men Shouldn't Wear in 2024 (or Ever)

Рет қаралды 319,652

I know, I know… Another clickbait-y, overly prescriptive hot take about what you should or should not wear. Let me just get something straight before we get into the list. First, this is all just, like, my opinion, man. And I’m just some guy on the internet. Sure, I think I have pretty good taste, but taste is subjective, and yours is just as valid.
Second, this video is meant to be lighthearted. If you’ve bought, own or even love some of the things on this list, that’s totally fine: wear what makes you happy. And for the record, I’ve worn many of these things in the past. Please don’t take this video too seriously, and of course, feel free to fire back in the comments section.

I'm 5'6" with shoes on and about 125 lbs after dinner. I have a 35" chest; I usually wear XS tops and 28x28 pants (or 28x30 cuffed).
My best suit jacket size is 34 Short, but even 34S needs alterations (mostly shortening of the sleeves and jacket), so my best-fitting suits are custom.

Couple of clarifications: 1 - Yes, I agree that v-necks make great undershirts 2 - You could argue that most watches are "homages" in some way...okay, fair point 3 - Yeah, John Wick wears all black. But are you John Wick? 4 - Black shirts are fine as part of a uniform (musician, clergy, valet, etc.) 5 - Brown is an underrated color in menswear 6 - I'm adding oversized watches to this list 7 - And bowties 8 - Buy my style course - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrenZ9pqvM28k4U.html

Hi Brock, I would like to describe the virtues of a (normal) vneck t-shirt vs crew neck: 1. Vnecks are great t-shirts to wear under your dress shirt at the office. Crew necks under a dress shirt (with an open collar) look absolutely terrible. You have a nice dress shirt which is undermined by the crew neck t-shirt. 2. On hot days, that simple v neck opening helps keep one cooler. 3. Depending on the body shape and facial structure, the v-neck might accentuate the wearer's positive physical characteristics.

@mtlicq 28 күн бұрын

You got that right! V-neck undershirts and v-neck sweaters are exactly for the purpose of button up shirts with the collar open, and not at all ever really meant for any other arrangement. Crew-neck undershirts are for when you button the shirt up all the way and close the collar and put on a tie.

Calling hybrid dress shoes the "corporate branded performance polo of foot coverings" is the best take of the year so far. Brock, your video quality has gotten a lot better since a year or 2 ago! I like the lighting choices (that sneaky yellow-orange lamp is a nice touch), and the 2 camera angles really help your story telling. You've got really refreshing takes and they aren't laced with any of the posturing of the "real men don't do that" attitude. Excited for more!

I wear soccer (football) shirts as the game is massive over here and there are certain contexts where it's acceptable. I sometimes wear one at home if I'm just going to be around the house or doing stuff in the garden etc. Obviously, wearing them to a game is fine or on holiday/at the beach if you just want a top to throw on (especially if you're like a lot of Brits and you toast just by talking about the sun). I do see loads of guys wear football shirts in public and although I love the game I'm just not a fan of wearing them as every day clothing. I do have a polo shirt with a small badge of my team on the chest and that looks way better.

I agree with you on the jersey take, and I'm a sports fan. According to Esquire's The Handbook of Style: "There is a name for men who can pull off wearing sport jerseys. They're called professional athletes." I would add that v-neck T-shirts could work for undershirts if you want to wear them under a button-up shirt and unbutton the top couple of buttons. Also, I didn't know that two-in-one sweaters existed until this video.

About jerseys: Some soccer teams in Europe started to put out incredible jerseys that can be worn as statement pieces.

Pair them up with joggers or cargo pants and sneakers you're good to go. Of course this is my opinion.

@martintanz9098 2 ай бұрын

I agree with the list with a few exceptions. The homage watch is a legitimate loophole for a couple of reasons. Some homages are for very old designs that are often unobtainable or very expensive. Second, even if an homage to a current model, say the Rolex Submariner, most people can’t afford a real Rolex sub. But if you just enjoy the look, really nothing wrong with buying a Steinhart or a San Martin. And, fwiw if anybody notices your watch, comment is usually more like nice watch then I’d that a Rolex Third, to some extent, a lot of watches borrow elements from famous designs. I have a Seiko Alpinist that borrows design language from Oris. And another Seiko that looks a little like a Tudor Black Bay. And yet somehow I managed to look at myself in the mirror. My suggestion is, don’t go too far into collecting homages and you will be fine. As for things not to wear, I guess crocs would make my list.

@BrockMcGoff 2 ай бұрын

Good points! It's definitely a spectrum from homage to clone. I don't think homages are all bad, if purchased for the right reasons.

@ComedyClips86 Ай бұрын

Definitely agree. I began buying more watches from AliExpress from brands like San Martin for certain reasons. If I like the looks of it and it happens to be a homage I still buy it for the fact that the specs on brands like San Martin are an incredible value. My $250 San Martin has better specs than any of my $500+ watches from brands such as seiko. Why would I buy a lesser quality watch for double or triple the price just because it’s a seiko? And like you alluded to, seiko themselves have many designs that could easily be labeled a homage watch. The vast majority of the population is not in to watches. I’ve never ever had someone ask “Is that a black bay 58?” Either no one says anything or someone says “that’s a nice looking watch” which I’d then respond “thanks”. No reason to try to pass it of as something it’s not. None of my friends, family, or acquaintances even know what the brand Tudor is so there’s definitely no pretending my watch is anything but the brand name that is on the dial, “San Martin” Also I don’t have a large enough budget to go over a $1000 for a single watch and I enjoy variety so I’ll stick with my $200 San Martin rather than forking out $6k for a Tudor. I understand people that don’t feel the same and would rather spend more money on just one piece that has heritage. Totally get why they would choose that route. But just because someone chooses a different route and buys a homage watch does not mean they are somehow pretending to be better than other people or that they are trying to play it off as the real thing. I say buy whatever you enjoy and can afford.

The last watch I bought was actually a Tommy Hilfiger. I got a very good deal on it (it was clearance priced, I had a 20% coupon that I used, and an additional 20% employee discount), but when I cracked the crystal (something I have done to most of the watches I owned), I discovered replacing the crystal was going to be more than twice what I paid for the watch. Since then, I simply use my cell phone as my watch, and since it (1) stays in my pocket most of the time, and (2) has a protective case and glass screen protector, I haven't had any problems. I *did* like the watch, and it was probably modeled on something else, but I liked the look (gunmetal silver steel band, and a blue face). I would never have tried to pass it off as anything other than a relatively inexpensive watch (despite the "designer" name), and none of my friends or peers are watch collectors or horologophiles.
