An additional hint. Create the habit of preparing your outfit before going to bed. This avoids a morning chaos and gives you time to better select your outfit according to the event ahead. Also, a man in a rush looses most benefits of being well dressed.

Agreed!

Agree on all points. Started building my wardrobe and followed these same tips a few years ago. Today the best dressed at work and get compliments all the time. I find that my wardrobe positively impacts the quality of my work. Both go hand in hand.

So glad you mentioned well maintained and well polished shoes...whether they are old or new they MUST be polished - It is the first thing I look at!

I was in my bespoke French navy blue flannel Sartoria Solito bespoke suit today and I have to say it was as comfortable as pyjamas in my walk around London! When things fit properly! Wow!

Sweet.

I've just discovered your channel and it's a joy. I have a friend who did a short apprenticeship at Anderson and Sheppard and made me a suit many years ago. He still makes his own clothes as a hobby and the suit he made me still wears beautifully feels very special when I have an occasion to put it on. As you say when something is bespoke it's truly another level of comfort.

Great video. My wife and I frequently discuss the need for 'charm school' for young men, echoing many of your points in this video. I concur with your observation on other people reacting to nice [not expensive] clothes. Even now in my 60s and plump, I still get second looks from the opposite sex when wearing a button down shirt that fits and decent slacks. In previous jobs, blue collar and near blue collar, I frequently changed shirts two or three times a day. Even in my present white collar job, I never wear the same shirt more than 9 or 10 hours.

I like your presentation. Precise, to the point and excellent delivery. Thanks, that was a much needed topic, keeps me from veering off the tradition.

Such simple, great advice. Looking good and being well dressed doesn't mean spending a fortune. Dressing well is enjoyable, and people will indeed treat you better.

I love that he specifically mentions going for slightly fuller cuts, pleats and maybe even slightly fuller pants if you can go for suspenders. And he made that claim 4 years ago... He wasn't falling for the latest fad of suits that are too tight, with pants and sleaves that are cut way too short. I also appreciate how you can do all of the above even on a budget. Whether you paid a little or a lot might have some impact on quality, everything you should be clean, in good condition, pressed where it needs to, and properly fitted to your body.

I hope London has been treating you well. You’ve probably caught the last of the nice weather for this year, so great timing in that regard!

Incredibly underrated channel. You deserve a million subs Kirby!

Great video! I do disagree with two things though: (1) new shirt every day is essential, and (2) slightly disagree that your back blade of a tie should be allowed to extend beyond the length of the front one.

As a short person, sometimes having the back blade being too long is inevitable depending on the tie length. I don't see it as a big problem since it can just be tucked into the shirt placket. Shorter ties aren't always easy to find.

Hi Kirby, I love your videos. I find it hard to believe that some men don't know how to dress. I come from a family of tailors and tonsorial artists. I love getting well dressed. But it is not for everyone. Thanks very much for your time.

I live in SW Florida where we get, perhaps, a week or so of cool weather from December through January. Dressing well in a sub-tropical climate presents many challenges and it’s all too easy to default to the shorts and flip flops in the name of comfort. I’d love to see a video channel, blog, forum etc that focuses on the well dressed man in warmer climates that challenges the overdone Tommy Bahama look.

So refresh to find this KZread chanel 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 your content is excepcional no just in the way of elegance as well in practice advice. thanks to share your point of view and give us the pleasure to admire a man well dressed. Now times is difficult if not impossible watch a real elegant man.

@Mr.Kirby Allison, you Sir are a cut above the rest.💯 Gracias. Salud 🍷

Great background videos to fall asleep to. Spending my life in flip flips and Guy Harvey t shirts in the florida keys, these are hilarious to me

Good tips, thanks Kirby!

Kirby: Thank you for another great video! I think the most important of these suggestions is personal hygiene, one that seems to fallen off logarithmically in recent years. In addition, I feel fragrances should be used sparingly, especially inexpensive one since they may bother those around you. Investigate the ingredients, but purchase high quality, maybe not the most expensive; softer scents are usually better than sharp.

Hey Kirby can you please do a detailed video on ties? Also which ties go best with basic colored suits like charcoal, navy, black, browns etc Also some of the decent tie brands.

I love your videos !~ Thank you

Love you man hope to see you come to NYC some time soon

I was watching the U.S. Senate hearings this past week, and noticed there was not a single pocket square to be seen among the gents. Perhaps they think it's too stylish, not properly focusing on the people's business (the same goes for both houses of Parliament in London). The suits and ties were elegant and understated, to be sure (thank God for charcoal and navy). But something seemed missing. We should send them this video. Show them how it's done, when appearance indicates exactly and immediately how one feels about oneself. Thanks, Kirby, first class as always. Best, Bobby

Not sure about America but the British parliament is now just full of middle class, managerial types. Long gone are the days of well dress aristocrats who actually had a long term commitment instead of just trying to further their career through politics.

Kirby, any idea where one can purchase an ironing cloth, as pictured in your video? Also, when tying a tie, what does one do with the end-blade if it sticks out beyond the point of the tie? Is it ok to stuff it inside one's shirt?

Love the style very classy .I just dont have a budget anywhere close to that working for a University.Did think of going to vietnam and buying a suit there at some point.

Great background music

Agree completely. I did a TEDx talk "Do Your Clothes Fit" by Mark Logan. In the talk I tell stories of men who were treated differently on the rare occasions when they were dressed well. As well as a few funny encounters I have experienced due to my attire.

Thank you.

I am curious about the cloth you use to safely iron trousers. Is it expressly made for that purpose? How can I acquire one? Thank you.

What are your thoughts on after shave lotions vs colognes? I prefer after shaves - a bit less “perfumy”

I thought it was bad practice to separate suits...using your stroller jacket to wear separate from the trousers it was initially paired with? Your thoughts sir

Kirby, what do you think about having a large cologne collection? Should a man have a ‘signature scent’ or is it better to rotates scents throughout the week?

@byKevinSamuels

5 жыл бұрын

You don't need a large collection, but definitely a collection. 6 to 8 fragrances are plenty for 90% of men and can cover signature scent, special event, date night and each season.

Kirby, well done with your video, 8 Secrets To Being Well Dressed. I very much enjoyed it. I find fewer and fewer men taking the time to look good, distinguished and, feel good about themselves. If I may make a couple of suggestions: First, wearing a clean properly fitted undershirt will save your valued dress shirt from those unsightly underarm sweat marks and subsequent stains. It also keeps them from sliding out of your pants. Second, completely agree with the use of a fresh scented cologne; but, I never spray it on my clothes as it will eventually stain. A good cologne is formulated to react with your skin and body temperature, not your clothes. A light mist before getting dressed should do.Thank you again. Look forward to more of your great videos. Cheers

This is great info for guys. Can I add something for hygiene? And please correct me if I'm wrong, but I find it offputting to see chest hair sticking up above the tie knot. It's always clean shaven guys too.

Kirby! Mention health too! Your skin & pheromones are so crucial when dealing with partners, both business and pleasure. I’d say feeling great is equal to looking great! And health is wealth ;£

good ~

Found my neckties moving too much when trying cases in the courtroom, I don't like tie clips. The solution was simple just slip the short end through the loop on the back of the front tie section. Next take a safety pin and pin the narrow piece to your shirt from the INSIDE thus hiding the pin and anchoring the tie. The tie stays in place w/o looking plastered to your chest...works nice every time.
