It's certainly not a bad thing if they're earning you compliments, JM! Our main argument with today's video is that these items don't mesh well with the classic wardrobe style for which we advocate here at GG--but some of them could certainly work with other styles of dress. And of course, at the end of the day, we're all free to wear whatever makes us comfortable. Cheers! - Preston

Gotta take these with a grain of salt. They are giving pointers for a classic and conservative wardrobe. If we wanted to look classic and not push the boundaries, we would all dress the same. Some "trends" looks really cool and can translate with the right wearer. Monochrome looks, multiple leather looks and bright rich colors are so cool.

You go to london and try to go into a members club without a suit you won’t even get past the door man.

I found this absolutely enjoyable! I don't see anything wrong with a bright colored suit, IF it is a color that suits your skin tone and IF you are not planning to make it a mainstay of your wardrobe. Also IF you have a specific purpose for wearing that color, like planning to impress by matching your suit color with the significant other, e.g.

Tbh the over-shoulder bum bag was very useful for me on holiday, I could keep my money and phone in it, and it was sufficiently low-profile that I could hide it under my waterproof coat, especially in tourist hotspot areas with pickpockets aplenty.

I have a pair of the Frankenshoes! I went with some knitted upper ZeroGrands and I use them as an alternate to my leather sneakers. I got them crazy cheap and thought they may be good for a casual jean look (polo, etc) when I have a lot of walking to do when it is warm. So far, they have been a winner for that. I could see some of the leather version with chinos or something (maybe) but for a casual alternative with jeans....as long as you are not trying to make them look "dressy," I think they work decently well. Of course, that is why I went with the knitted upper...etc....get the silhouette without anyone thinking I was really trying to go more formal.

I had a brogue shoes from Timberland back in 90s. Upper suede and deep lug undersole. It perfectly fits your Franken Shoes definition but I was fond of it for my office wear and reflecting my true lifestyle.

Style is an ever-changing thing. There's nothing wrong with playing it safe with tried and tested fashion but you shouldn't be averse to experimentation. As silly as some of these trends may be, some of them will inevitably stick around. When that happens, the standards of classic fashion will also change to incorporate elements of those trends.

Man, you nailed all of those. I'm more of a casual wear/street wear/ skateboard wear type of guy. But you are absolutely correct on all of those. I do own a fanny pack. But only for a kayaking, amusement parks, cycling and other athletic activities

I wear a crossover Fanny pack, mainly at work, but I would lie if I said I haven't worn one on my free time. The extra pockets are always useful.

Great video, I will have to say that while a 1 color outfit looks bad the all black color is an exception as it can be pulled off especially casually

The one I really hate is the no-socks thing. You're wearing shoes? Then wear socks.

He dresses like a real man, he is the first man I saw that doesn’t fall for trendy things like short pants with no socks

A good fanny pack always has its place, but, agreed, it has to be reasonable. If you need a bag every day, a small leather single strap back pack I find works well and compliments my styles from day to day

I look good in a quality fedora and wear them a lot.

I would be interested in a series of men's fashion for working men. I definitely want to upgrade from Jean's and a tee, but I would like something that I might be able to wear on a job or amongst colleagues (tradesmen)

A bucket hat is great at the beach, the pool or while fishing. That’s it.

Gotta keep my bucket hats though, they serve their purpose in high summer heat and tough work environment.

You know, I like the fanny packs, the sneakers, the florals, the Franken shoes, monochrome and the bucket hats. Depends on how you wear them.

Yeah. Bucket hats are pretty stylish imo. Since fedoras are faux pas to wear nowadays, a bucket hat is the closest thing to one you can wear and not have tons of people staring at you. As someone who grew up in the late 90's-2000's, I also find them nostalgic since they were popular back then. I feel like fashion from that era is going to make a big comeback soon. Already has with skaters.

@@plottwist1733 Fedoras are hardly faux pas. Maybe in your tight circle but not overall. I have several kinds of hats but I get more compliments on my fedoras than any other hat. And by people of all ages, including women in their 20's. Like all things, there's a time and a place and the rest of the dress has to compliment it. Bucket hats are fine if you're trying to be Gilligan or Snoop Dog or gardening.

When you say raves you probably mean the 90's. I remember in Poland first it was huge thing back in 2002-04, and the brand of choice for fanny pack was Lacoste. Then it sorta fade out, then fannies were in again around 2008-11 and this time they were worn *almost* as they were intended (on one's waist), but backwards. And since around 2018 they're in again as crossovers but this time they're usually bigger and more square-ish (inspired by techwear trends).

I have to agree with you. In general, form follows function. I respect Gentleman's Gazette's opinion and slant towards traditional style. However, our 21st century lives and livelihoods are slowly modifying and chipping away at traditional style forms, that while beautiful, are not as practical.

For number 15, I actually wear black single-breasted suit (fitting right, of course) with a black dress shirt, black oxfords, and no tie, and for me as a young man it works well. It looks youthful, minimalist and classic without looking overly casual. I only really wear it to semi-casual events or dinners in the evening.

Excellent presentation! Witty and on point.

Excellent and informative video dear sir!! I thank you for updating the men on what NOT to wear. Make this a yearly video.

“Frankeinshows” are extremely hit or miss, but sometimes very good hits. It just depends.

Always enjoy the content, keep it up! Regarding fanny packs, how about wearing it traditionally at an amusement park? Something low profile to avoid leaving phones in the rollercoasters bins. For everyday use it certainly seems silly, but otherwise I think they are okay for practical use. Thoughts?
