If I had to pick just one, it's having your clothes tailored to fit right. Also, getting familiar with wearing proper trousers as in: other than jeans/sweatpants/joggers...

Excellent tips! I can’t stress enough the tip on tailoring your clothes, self-grooming, and keeping a clean home. Semi-related, I’d add keeping up with or changing your physical health. While a gym membership might be steep for some, a decent diet, running, and at home exercise are manageable. This also helps to not fluctuate between sizes but is advantageous to overall better health.

Hey Luke, I had unsubscribed from your channel a while ago because, even though I liked your style and persona, I didn't find in the content of your video what I was looking for. I recently came across your channel once again and I am glad of the new content you are putting out. Surprised to see you haven't put on more subscribers in the meantime seeing how incredible your content is. Wish you the best, thx for eveything.

top stuff! i’d love to see a vid on bags, as i still feel like a schoolboy with a backpack. it’s always the thing that lets a good outfit down. any brands or tips to upgrade that area? (desperately need to find a replacement for that viral uniqlo crossbody 🥴)

Great tips

Good video - this is great knowledge as a base but as you get the base - don’t forget to have elements of fun re splashes of colour etc. Re watches - Tissot fantastic for smart watches under £700 or Baltic and Christopher Ward for under £1,000.

Man! I'm stuck on trainers! Nike jordan lows have been my go-to for years, but I'm almost 30.. I go to Nordstrom to look at loafers and just can't see myself pulling it off in the rainy, muddy PNW, where athleisure or farmwear is common(I know those are opposites, but Seattle area is weird). Any good in-betweens you recommend? I live in a bit more of a rural enviroment with less paved sidewalks, streets, and general public transportation. Really enjoying your channel, and have a strong desire to tear off my trainers and graphic tees!

Your glasses are great 👓🙏🏼, excellent video !👓🥼🕴🏻

@@LukeHodges Thanks. Checking now. Any other good brands?

Finding a good alterations tailor is crucial. I drop mine a small gift at Christmas to thank him because he makes me look better than I am. Clothes and shoes that fit properly are comfortable, they shouldn’t interfere with your day. Choose natural fabrics over artificial. Go for timeless items over fashion. Find cuts that suit you - not the male models on the ads. Coordinate colours, textures and tones with each other, the seasons and what looks good on you. Accessorise with elegance and thought. Plenty of videos about this. Sensible long lasting kit like a decent umbrella and a business type bag or case to go with your outfit when needed, buy once and buy right. Sportswear for sports & leisure only. Don’t try and make a statement, you’re leaving those years behind if you’re following channels like these. Be subtle, embrace the je ne sais quoi. Good shoes and a good bed because if you’re not in one you’re in the other. They should be paying you if there’s a logo on your clothes, not the other way around. Good manners, be discreet, be polite. It works. Good luck!

I wouldn’t say they should always be avoided but if someone is looking to move to a more mature wardrobe specifically as a goal, removing pastels can be really effective
