Cause some materials for clothes aren't good for your health. They can made some allergies, or perhaps some other diseases. I agree that clothes needs to be ironed, or steamed, but I have to say that some clothes don't need that (cause that's told in the instructions, or declarations; call it whatever you want). When I was a little child I always remembered one thing that my mom told me when getting dressed up. She told me this: "Son, don't dress like a parrot. Match the colors." What you have told there Courtney, that can apply also to women as well. When I saw these colors of wheels, I remembered also the similar thing that we modelers (meaning for doing to model kits, just to understand each other) use when painting, and detailing the model kits (either you will use an olive green, or sea green for painting the model kit of airplane, or helicopter, etc.). From all the told here, we can summarize it to these things: Match Your Dress Code For Appropriate Situations; Keep Them Clean And Tidy (and with no holes on them); Make The Appropriate Contrast In Colors; and Choose The Appropriate Material From Which Are Clothes Made. The color of the nails goes well with the design of the jewelry Courtney. P.S. I am engaged in hobby model making, and I have an eye for details (believe it or not) 😉🙂. Thank you Courtney ❤💙🤍.

Great content! I’m a bigger guy (6’6” 240 lbs) so the lines between finding clothes that I like vs find clothes that like me rarely intersect. So for those people who can’t shop like the masses do, I recommend finding brands that work well for you; fits your personal style, has consistency in their sizing, and is well made. That way you can shop online with much more confidence and it’ll open up so many more opportunities for you to quickly build an impressive wardrobe 😊

Dress the way you like brother, not how some woman thinks.

Agree with everything, most importantly knowing your fit. I would add that finding a good tailor is crucial as well. Most clothes I buy need a little alteration to achieve a perfect fit, and if you’re buying quality, classic pieces that will last a long time, it is totally worth the cost of alteration for a much more polished look.

You've cultivated a healthy and constructive community. Big ups to you and your community Courtney! I've even watched other youtubers who make sure to put respect on your name before they share their thoughts and criticisms on a video of yours. Bravo! 🌹🥂

I highly concur with the classic look over the trendy look. I like how Courtney's very precise and straight to the point on specific details.

Courtney, thank you for your videos! I would absolutely love a detailed video on color theory, especially concerning skin tones and hues. I'm able to navigate "by feel" when choosing an outfit but having someone explain it in common-sense terms would be so helpful!

Same with socks and undershirts (same rules apply for me).

My first comment since I subscribed 😅 Yep, a bit of overdressing never hurts, just the contrary, but a given mindset is also needed for that. Fit is KING, amen to that. Spending a little bit more on tailoring pays off manyfold. Monochromatic is good for not-so-tall people, it makes one somewhat taller 'cause of no different lower & upper colours visually cutting the body shape in the middle.

Bottom button of a suit or vest should never be buttoned. Didn’t know that applied to vests also until later in life. Suits are buttoned (or not) while standing but *_ALWAYS_* unbuttoned when you sit. I see too many men sitting with their suits buttoned and it bunches everything up.

Thanks for being here!

also Courtney. the white after labor day was a sort of rule of thumb based on what colors are best during what seasons. after labor day the fall colors (more rustic and warm) are more pronounced. also. during the winter months white pants or dresses can become a victim of mud or slush so theres that.

Dressing for the setting you are in is a rule I drummed into my young adult sons when they were younger. My eldest son has now graduated and before he started at a law firm I suggested he dress like the young managers two levels above him (not the Partners) so you fit in. Hence he wears a suit when with clients and chinos, button down and quarter zip pullover when just working in the office. Lace up shoes, well polished is a rule in both cases. He gets it, he feels comfortable, he is well thought of.

My mom is a big stickler for fashion and it rubbed off onto me so I get a lot of what you’re saying. Good point about ironing, I don’t do that much, instead stop wearing stuff when it looks too worn… but it’s a good thing to do.

Really cool ep with the color wheel and shades

Hello Courtney, thanks for this content. I would very much like to see a separate video detailing low and high contrast along with colors that go with light/darker skin tones etc. One thing I think men should know: By age 30, regardless of profession, one should have at least one tailored suit, charcoal gray being the most vesatile color for weddings, funerals, job interviews etc. That and a man should own a decent watch. One can find plenty of watches for $500 or under that can be used daily and paired with that charcoal suit for any occasion. 😎

Hey Courtney, not that I don't appreciate your views on world events, but I love your thoughts and opinions on men's fashion and cologne or fragrance. Also easy on the eyes.

I just did a winter video recently! 🤍❄️

I think there's another big factor. Personality plays a huge role as well in deciding what would look good on you. It's not just about the physical appearance. It's also about how the person will carry what they're wearing. For ex: Chris Rock might not be able to pull of what Lil Wayne wears and vice versa. My body structure and face and hair are appropriate for very bright dresses but I'm not sure how I'd carry them because I'm more poised/minimalist generally as a person.

Hi Courtney. Could you do a video on color combos for suits, dress shirts, and ties? It's holiday party season after all.

Oh dang, you've really stumbled upon something here. I'm a detail person by nature. I'd LOVE if you did more thorough follow up vids regarding color theory. The contrast topic would be amazing as well. I know certain clothes look better on some folks than others, but this is the first time I've heard that it is related to contrast.

I found that burgundy colors look great on me, just recently purchased a burgundy bomber jacket that is well fitted to my body. Got many compliments on it. Spending money on underwear is a must. Courtney your future children are going to be dressed so well since you know about style.

I don’t think it matters guys. We’re evolving into ones and zeros whether we like it or not. Soon feeling anything including happiness will be an inconvenience.

The thing is, I would love to dress myself up for different occasions, but I rarely been on them. This year I only had one wedding I attended and was dressed up and liked it, but nothing really more

I got some amazing advice recently about what to wear and what not to wear and my life has change. Told to wear white but am always spilling coffee on it.

As someone who's probably a bit on the spectrum, i find these fashion rules type of videos very interesting because i don't really have much of a clue about fashion. I know what i think looks good on women, but im not very clued up about how to style myself.

As someone who prides in how they dress and seems to be noticed for it, a tip I picked up a while ago that has stuck is to match your belt with your shoes, IE if your belt is brown, wear brown shoes. Also tucking in some shirts while leaving others untucked can drastically alter your fit’s appearance. Sometimes t-shirts can look better tucked in while a button down would look better untucked! (Based on what the situation calls for of course)

I just went on a first date where I took time to wear something causal but clean and crisp that fit and looked good on me (one could alway argue that I could have worn something different/better). The woman I was meeting showed up looking like haggard mom running errands on a Sunday. Needless to say we are not having a second date.

I can do a video about that at some point!

Pro tips: 1. If you take dress shirts out of the dryer immediately and put them on hangers, you can avoid ironing them. Most men's dress shirts are permanent press. They'll look better ironed, but they won't be unkempt. 2. For travel, pack a travel iron. Although these days, most decent hotels have an iron and ironing board (something begun by the military, BTW). 3. Watch your gig line. Fly of trousers, belt buckle, and shirt buttons in one vertical line.
