"A gentleman never pays attention to the fleeting trends of fashion." And with that, good sir, you have earned a thumbs-up.

I am in my 7th decade and I have always worn a suit or sports jacket, have 16 waistcoat, 3 pocket watches and 28 ties. When my wife and I are invited out to parties, wedding reception etc the younger men always without exception say to me things such as "I wish I could look as good as you." My reply is always the same "Go to the shop and buy yourself a suit, shirt, tie and shoes and you will look like me." It is amazing how differently a well dressed man is treated when out and about.

Fashion is for followers, style is for leaders.

A true gentleman wears his underpants UNDER his pants.

A gentleman never wears a chip on his shoulder

A true Gentleman never wears his girlfriend’s husband’s clothes…

Your advice is the way I was raised. I don't understand men that obviously couldn't care less about their appearance. My father taught me that _"You never know who you are going to run into when you're out. Dress accordingly."_ It astonishes me that men need to be reminded how to be men. Thanks for the great content. Keep it up.

Lint rollers have a reputation for leaving a sticky residue which in turn attracts even more dirt and dust. Better to use a proper clothes brush.

As a Texan that has a traditional Southern upbringing among the United States that is an Xennial, I am shocked yet refreshed that this video exists. I have worn a suit or sportcoat and tie to Church, business meetings (with a briefcase not a backpack) and social events since I was 18. While most people appreciate it, there are unfortunately a lot of immature men from Gen X to Z that not only refuse to grow up but will be confused at or even ridicule those that do. As my father taught me long ago, “anybody can wear anything, but it takes an effort to be a gentleman.” It’s about showing respect not only for yourself, but for the social, business or religious engagement you are invited to or are participating in. You are showing people you value them and what they are doing. Presentation matters. Good video and good tips.

The one thing a gentleman never wears is a dress.

Sweat pants, yoga pants ( their names should clarify their purpose ). Baseball cap backwards. It makes grown men look like 12 year olds.

A Gentleman never wears ripped jeans.

Harry Kane dropping knowledge 👏🏻

Very sweet to see a young chap trying to communicate style to his generation

A gentleman never wears air Jordans to his son’s graduation.

I'm old enough to remember when loafers with a business suit was verboten.

No earrings, nose rings or tattoos. I like to see a gentleman well groomed. Nice haircut, clean shaven or an elegant beard or mustache.

I am happy to tell you I went on a little shopping spree yesterday and picked up about 6 things to have in my wardrobe, following your advice :) Thank you!

I am a semi-retired businessman in my sixties. I agree with pretty much everything in this video. The only thing I can say is that after decades of wearing a suit and tie daily, that attire comes out for funerals only these days. I absolutely relish wearing track pants, T-shirts, hoodies and sneakers. I have nothing to prove to anyone, and pure comfort is my luxury these days. There is a certain satisfaction in reaching the stage where you simply don't have to care what anyone else thinks about your wardrobe choices.

A gentleman never takes clothing advice from another man. He just is himself.

Wearing shorts during the winter in sub freezing weather just screams to the entire world "my IQ is lower than my neck size".

That was a very good video and some sound advice there. I clicked on this thinking what on earth could a gen Z know about male style. You alleviated my doubts. You are a gent Z.

Gentleman is not about the clothes, it's about the man. I can put a turd in a $50k bespoke suit with $10k bespoke Oxfords and a $500k Patek Minute Repeater, and it's still a turd. A gentleman is a gentle man, no clothes required.

My Victorian Era grandmother divided the world into 'polished' and 'common'. When I showed up from college in the mid-70s, she looked at my long hair and T-shirt with overalls and remarked, "Honey, It takes no effort to be common." I decided that she had a point. That point stuck with me my entire life. I have learned that good manners always require self-discipline and self-discipline, practiced over the years adapts the mind to accomplish great feats. A self-disciplined person garners trust, and all value flows from trust.

TWO videos with ONE tie... that's a no-go! ;-)) Besides that: thanks for making style a theme in a world of sneakersneakersneakers!!!

Life is infinitely easier when you follow what your Father and Grandfather's choice of what they wear and follow their heathy functional actions best you can throughout the day. Unless the family and or society chooses otherwise for you. A simple stress reducing way to live life. Plus there is a strong bonding in the family that is priceless.

So much to commend in this video. Gentleman's styles are era-determined, obviously not to follow fashion but because styles change. A gentleman need not be entirely beholden to the current era and can still achieve elegance. Avoiding anything that appears like a costume and cosplay (at all costs, please), an older man like myself can wear suits closer to the styles of the 30s, 40s, or 50s and still look like a "contemporary" gentleman. I have several oversized jackets--- not at all like current street fashion--- but closer to pre- and post- WWII styles. I still find them appropriate, depending on the engagement. My very first jacket from Gieves & Hawkes (purchased on Saville Row when I was in my 20s in the 1980s) still looks gentlemanly, though it is not quite the current mid-line (as Cary put it). (BTW, I think you missed the mark in this video when you showed certain denim styles that are much more WWII style than a contemporary oversized look.) As for workwear elegance, which may sound like an oxymoron, there is such a thing and that can be found in Japanese Amekaji styles in particular. Carry on. It's good to see a younger gentleman taking up these subjects.

One golden rule is that a gentleman never wears nipple clamps to a funeral. It's just not appropriate.

👍 Good content and I agree with you with two exceptions; 1) in a casual situation (beach, walk in the woods, running errands) there is nothing wrong with cargo shorts in the warm weather months, but agree they are not the best choice for “dress up” social settings (cocktail parties, dinner with friends) 2) the brief case is out dated, the stylish backpack is a much more practical choice, especially when traveling, one can remove the pack for hand carry in crowded situations or when seated. Other than these two we agree 100%.

Am I the only woman watching this video getting all enthusiastic about “the masculine silhouette?” Take note men, then go forth and be gorgeous!

Backward cap. likely already pointed out but worth mentioning over & over

One of the things that drives me crazy is when I see men wearing a suit with slip-on dress shoes and no socks. To me, it completely ruins the look and I would never take someone seriously who does that.

BTW, a gentleman also doesn't wear his tie with the thin portion exposed. It should be hidden behind the wide finished side. Look at your video.

When I was in high school back in the early Sixties, they had a class to teach us all things about being a gentleman. To this day I remember those things and behave accordingly. One thing I have never heard mentioned in any videos of this kind is this: a gentleman always carries a second, clean, crisp, unused handkerchief in the event his date might need one.

Bit of advice, save that button down collar for casual occasions. With jacket and tie wear a nice spread collar

There should be a balance between function and clothing style. For example, if you need a backpack to hold items that you need that day, that should be fine, if your clothing is good in other respects.

Fit is essential! Stay away from extreme trends, but don’t deliberately go against fashion either. Pay respect to fashion trends, but do it in a restrained fashion, and never wear something you don’t like, no matter how fashionable it might be. I’ll give an example. I never liked the “skinny fit” aesthetic, and for some time resisted wearing tight fitting clothing, but at a certain point I realized it’s not only pointless but even a bit silly and pretentious to stubbornly go against the fashion. Thus, I replaced the wide legged, pleated trousers I enjoyed wearing with narrower, flat front pants. However, those relatively narrow, flat front pants were not “skinny” and sat appropriately on my waist. Thus I found a good alternative between respecting the current fashion and preserving my personal style. Now, I’m happy the wider cuts are coming back into fashion and am gladly buying wider legged, pleated pants again. It’s annoying to see so many men of my generation (the not so young millennials, who are now in their 30s and early 40s) stubbornly wearing super tight pants and jackets, which do not make them look attractive at all. A tight fit is NOT a good fit, especially if the wearer does not have a fashion model proportions. A point I would add is the “no socks look”. While it might be perfectly appropriate and elegant with a casual outfit (even a “casual” linen suit in the summer), wearing no socks in winter with formal clothing looks very pretentious and inelegant. I have a friend who is, overall, an elegant dresser and really cares about clothes, but has this unfortunate habit of going sans socks even when wearing a tuxedo.

A gentleman and a smart man always makes sure he is handkerchief supplied. Besides knowing how to mix a cosmo this scores points and is very useful as well.

Thank you so much for this video. You brought back such lovely memories of my father who was every inch a gentleman. An amusing thing about ironing is I remember as a child seeing my mother ironing his underclothes.

I mostly agree, but I live fairly close to where I work, so I often walk or ride my bike. Using a backpack to bring my things to the office just makes sense. It's a nice, professional looking backpack, and it works well for me.

In the US with gadgets and wires galore, back packs are common and used even by the CEO. A brief case even at the highest level would be out of place. They also require a free hand to carry.

baseball caps, particularly worn backwards

Another excellent list. The Dryer: Many people think that the stuff on your dryer filter is just lint collected on your clothes. In actuality the stuff on your dryer filter IS your clothes, the cotton fibers and the like that break and/or come off in the dryer as your clothes deteriorate, especially due to heat. I always air dry my shirts, then iron, sometimes with a small amount of starch. My shirts last for many years this way, making better, more expensive shirts even more worth it. Note: starch is a topic for another day...but it will have a deteriorating effect on a shirt.

For folk concerned about costs for elegance, I will note that I have observed many, many designer garments - sometimes new and entirely unworn - at charity shops.

Best way to start the week with one of your videos.

Beware the collar gap, my man!

I believe that every cloth has its place, season and time of the day to be weared. You only have to choose wisely💪

I buy German made Rowenta irons. They're 2x as much as those Proctor Silex or Sunbeam brand irons, but they last a much longer time. I iron my dress shirts, iron my ties, touch up my suits and suit slacks, press the pleats and hems. I polish ky shoes until they shine and ensure when ibwalk out of my house it looks as perfect as i can. When i tuck in my shirt into my slacks, i unzip the zipper after i buttom the slacks, reach in with ky hand and pull the shirt tails down so it is unwrinkled and flat ajd the sema matches the edge of the slacks button amd edge seam. The military calls it a gig line. Makes everytbing one straighr line. I used to keep a mirro in ky office so i can touch uo my tie and shirt before i walk out to court.

Alright, the backpack thing hits home. I always go to the gym before work and also meal prep, so a briefcase won't work.

A gentleman should never question what chuck norris wears

Gent Z. Love that channel name bro. Also I agree with every single thing you said. Btw, I flat out never wear shorts, even in summer.

Nice video, I'm curios if you would do a video on what you would wear to the gym. I dress pretty dapper most the time, it helps that I work in an office setting. But I always struggle with what to wear at the gym... thanks

Thank you for trying to add civility to the younger generations! Well-dressed and politeness never go out of style.

Brilliant! The music is very nice as well!✨👌🏽

Style and sophistication never go out of fashion!

I just found your channel, it's fabulous to hear an English accent doing men's style. Yes, trainers with suits are a tragedy, I am always disheartened when you see style consultants pushing this look as if they're trying to say that they are edgy.

I feel wearing gym clothes to the supermarket to buy groceries on the way home isn't that deep. As long as it's not one of those t-shirts that reads, "My other t-shirt is at your moms."

A true gentleman has a clean shave and does not wear a shirt that is too big round the neck.

This is one of the presentations that proves KZfaq to be a valuable resource.

People wear sneakers with suits because dress shoes are uncomfortable for walking, and they're also expensive to wear out fast if you walk a lot. That's why people in the US wear sneakers with business suits

YES !!! Iron !!! seriously !!! Here's the thing: Have proper cotton handkerchiefs and after washing and drying, Iron them !!!!! Its the easiest thing in the world to iron! Ironing makes hankies much neater to fold and makes them more compact in the pocket, more quick and efficient to pull from pocket and more predictable when opening the fold to use when suddenly needed. An ironed and folded hanky looks sharp and elegant when you pull it out. Ironing hankies also helps to wipe out any possible residual germs/viruses/mould that washing didn't get out. Worst thing in the world is to have bulky flimsy paper tissues / kleenexes crumpled in pocket, that look like they're already used even when they are not.

Have to push back a little on the sneakers; I wear suits to work frequently, I love my dress shoes, they complement every outfit exceptionally. However, I do have one or two outfits I cycle through where I will pair a black sport coat over a red dress shirt and wear black Levi pants and a pair of black/red/white color way Nikes which makes the entire outfit particularly 🔥

All of these observations were absolutely spot on...thank you for this video...

A gentleman should not wear socks and flip flop / sides

polyester shirts, although mentioned, are a „no go“ for me.

Love your channel! I'm 66 and retired business exec and am mortified at what business executives wear today

I've owned my own iron and ironing board since I left my parents house when I was 18. One must dress properly for whatever the occasion may be.👍

I would not wear a 100% polyester item of clothing. Shiny, tacky and cheap. A goat hair brush also works well to remove lint and detritus from clothing. It also does not leave any sticky residue behind.

A true Gentleman follows his heart rather than act snobbish on some rookee advise!!

When I was 13-15 I would not wear anything else than baggy clothes because I was very insecure about my body because I was pretty well rounded but now I wear it just at home for comfort or if I carry my somewhat bulkier pocket knives because I don’t wanna make people feel uncomfortable around me but I mostly wear well fitting clothes and a smaller knife that doesn’t show under those clothes

Love the jazz in the background. Peter Sandberg's Got that feeling I think I hear from "A Scandinavian thing". Excellent album.

Being a gentleman is more about how you act than how you dress. There is nothing wrong with dressing stylish, but what really matters is how you act.

Nice piece 1Sir, loved the Iron statistic❤

The backpack part is a little tricky for me as I have to carry tools and other things that don't fit the handbag. I am super aware it downgrades my looks but...necessities are necessities. But I agree that I should think of an alternative solution somehow.

What about duffle bags? I commute to the city to work and study. It takes around 14 hours. I take some of my meals, pack my gym clothes, laptop, books, etc.. Simple briefcase is unfortunately not enough for some people. Looking forward for your opinion on duffle bags or maybe some more classy solutions. Cheers😊

No matter what he weared, Cary Grant always looked perfectly

Thank you. I did not imagine that anyone could present topics like this in our present time. I am 63 years old. All the men and women I saw when I was young, and who are still in my memory, were elegant and cared a lot about their appearance, the way they spoke, ate, sat, and walked. And now I cannot accept what people wear in the street and in public places, the clothes that we were ashamed to wear at home. I tried to keep up with people in what they wear, but I could never. Yes, I wear jeans and a T-shirt sometimes, but my eyes can never get used to those. The chaos and neglect in which I see people. I do not like exaggeration in elegance, but I cannot wear shorts and sandals like this in the street. I think the world has lost a lot of beautiful things now, and this is completely sad. Thank you.

Pro tip: get a hand steamer to "iron" your clothes with. Steamers take a bit longer but they get the wrinkles out as well as ironing, and they don't require getting out an ironing board and using the technique required to be really good at ironing clothing. My heavy-duty hand steamer has saved my look on numerous occasions.

A gentleman wears a tie that hangs straight.

My pet peeve is the trend of not wearing a tie in a formal situation. Even people who are in the limelight regularly are eschewing the wearing of ties, and it shows a disrespect for other people. Respect should be shown to everyone, if possible.

Loooooool As someone who lives in brazil, i can say that wearing shorts is a must outside work and formal meetings

I would like to see a video where you could comment on how to dress for plane trips, both short and long. Because I have seen unorthodox things, so to speak. Thanks a lot. Great video.

About sneakers, look up the photo of JFK on a stroll with Jackie, rocking white shirt, v-neck and cuffed trousers with (I think...) chuck taylors, looks damn well

The main requirement of a gentleman is the ability to make others feel comfortable in your presence. You might want to ponder that a little.

I've watched several of your videos. Two thoughts as an older fellow: 1) I think a lot of younger guys need the benchmark you're offering so that they're not doing the silly, trendy things that end up being counterproductive, however; 2) I can't help humming "A Well Respected Man" by the Kinks as I get to the end of each of your segments.

As a 70 something man it is quite encouraging to see a gentleman from the younger generation presenting this information. Well done, and thank you.

A tie clip wouldn't hurt. And if you can't grow a beard, don't try.

A gent carries a nice pen, a few times a well dressed gent has gone to sign a document, and a chewed Biro comes out of the blazer pocket, it's not a good look. A Parker stainless steel Ballpoint Jotta are cheap and look as stylish as any.

Excellent video. Couldn’t agree more. Thank you.

I worked in HI for a while. Men wore Aloha shirts almost everywhere. Back in the U.S., I wear them year round, even in temperate weather, but not with shorts. For much of my life, I have worn red socks, both dress and casual. If I get any comments, they are always positive.

A real man wears what he wants when he wants. Everyone else be damned. And I don’t care what people think about my clothes.

Never wear sneakers to a business meeting - unless the airline looses you luggage!

I disagree about the backpack, because there's professions and other, even casual situations where you simply need the carry space. But I do agree about the additional space it takes up. The necessity of carrying gear with you doesn't excuse being selfish in public transit. Just take the bag off and place it at your feet or between your legs and the commuters around will be thankful. And be wary of the hulk you carry when you move.

A gentleman never, ever wears a mask in public.

Can someone define what a Gentleman is? I always thought it was the way you treated others rather than how you looked?

Great suggestions, I wish many men would watch and pay attention to these video.

In the 90's, I wore suits from Paul Stuart, with patterned braces and suit pants with a 1 3/4 cuff. Are cuffed suit pants out now, with men going for the more tailored and tapered suit pant?

It would be cool if you recorded a video about what to wear for a trip outside the city, hiking, a barbecue with friends, and similar occasions.

Bro, are you seriously wearing a tie in your own house?

As a woman, I am enjoying this content immensely! I’ve just found you and will be watching more.
