I was a stockbroker in the late '80s. Many of us younger guys took our cues from 'Wall Street'. I dressed like Gordon some days and Bud on others. The old-timers (who mostly dressed like Lou Mannhiem) just rolled their eyes.

I was in college at the time and oh my did we like that film. We loved the power suit. I moved to Washington DC in 1988 and was there for the end of the Reagon suits. I still have one "banker's" tie from the 80s. Thank you for such a fun story.

hey, im also 16! im getting my first suit tailored (its cheaper to get it tailored in my country) i'd say try to go with the simpler stuff first, take in count that your climate is tropical, i am also used to that so, get some pants, maybe pleaded or not, in some light color, with a shirt, try getting very thin cotton for the fabric, as it helps a lot because of the heat, suspenders make the whole thing look casual but elegant, you can also use a belt, for shoes you can go for either dress shoes like the derby, or you can also get loafers, to try and get a more casual look. Have a good one :)

You all nailed it. Great review of Wall Street.

I went to high school and college in the 1980s....and saw the progression from the leisure suits of the late 70s to the Wall Street look of the 80s...I interned at a telecom's marketing department from 1986 to 1988 and you could definitely see the influence Wall Street had on men's fashions...namely the power ties and suspenders. From that point on...any suit I have tailored has suspender buttons sewn in...of course I know work in IT and remotely so I rarely have to wear a suit now.

Wallstreet is one of the greatest movies of all time. Great presentation, gentlemen.

I love suspenders and wear them to work everyday (there are plenty of women that also find them fascinating, if you happen to have shoulders more broad than your waistline); I have a royal blue pair that is a wider band, a black wider band and a black narrowband. I also have a medium band pastel red, a sharp purple medium band, as well as a Realtree and Pittsburgh Penguins style suspenders. I do have a grey pair yet they are old and do not sit flush

What’s so bad about bankers?

I'm so glad you made this video. I got myself a shirt like gecko's and suspenders. Only my brother got the reference but yeah made me feel great for a long while. I still do so time to time

Gotta love his signature "Ace". It's like he was really saying something else. Of course the hair is there and no one else had that. Gekko's power suspenders were actually kinda cool. Not as bold as Mork and Mindy though.

I have to hand it to you guys--I've about abandoned my sweats for more interesting combinations. Thanks, and keep it up!

I’ve been watching GG for years now and this is one of my favorite episodes. It would be cool to see a full What Men Wore: 1980s episode someday. Also I find it interesting @19:30 to hear that bold suspenders were used to add a bit of levity, the way that the ‘wacky sock’ fad of this decade does. As a child of the 80s from a blue collar family I used to dream of growing up and emulating ‘big business’ types portrayed in films like this one (heck, just look at my profile name!)

Great video!! Make one about “American Psycho”.

Very thorough, well-presented and researched. Excellent....I'm off to find a club collar shirt...

This man has a great voice

He is secretly a kingsman secret service i know

Kyle, love the way you introduce each subject! You're the Man! And a Kool Kat!

the watch technically isnt a santos cartier but a santos galbee, santos de cartier is the new model from 2018

Please do American Psycho also. I think the ensembles there emulate the Wall Street look quite well whilst also being acceptable nowadays.

This is awesome. I have a recommendation. Can you guys do a Menswear Expert Review on American Psycho. I think it'll an awesome video just like this one.

Big blooper: They talk about the space shuttle Challenger blowing up in '85; it actually happened in January of '86.

Already the best Video of 2022

Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a thorough analysis of the suits worn in Wall Street. I loved dressing like this going into work early in my career. I had a Fumagalli maroon paisley tie like Gekko had, I wore it until it fell apart. Heck I might dress like this again once we start going back into the office! Question, what did you think about the suits Sir Larry Wildman ( Terence Stamp) wore? I saw a double breasted Prince of Wales pattern (?) as boarded his plane?

Now that you touched upon Office Space, please do a full review on that with the fashions! Thanks!

Hey! I'd really enjoy a "Peaky Blinders" review because surprisingly, many people started being interested channels like this, because of that show.

This must be the place.

The fashion in "Mad Men" is also very nice.

you deserve a movie appearance as a classy hit man under-covered as an accountant or lawyer

I think the 2011 series "Suits" is something worthy of a visit!

Interestingly the banker collar and cuffs were originally a way to stretch the lifespan of a shirt when the collar and cuffs wore out they were replaced with white. It was an economy which became a fashion, much like elbow patches on a jacket or cardigan.

The wide, loose fit as you refer to it, actually originated in the 30s. Very interesting video...

Do wolf of wall street

Fantastic!

It's very unfair you didn't mention NINO CERRUTI (he's gone recently, R.i.p.) who is the MAIN reason why this movie and many others (Basic Instinct, Pretty Woman, American Psycho, Fatal Attraction etc...) show off these wonderful and super classy suits and outfits.

Dr. Cox 💙

Say I just wanted to ask if you guys have ever watched Murdoch Mysteries ? They wear vintage (1890) clothes and to me I would like to know if the costumes are accurate to the time depicted, could you comment ?

9:00 Is spezzatura not sprezzatura. Spezzato, mean broken in half circa, more or less and mean the dresses. Sprezzato mean something like disliked, disprecful. Sorry for my English. Btw i notice that, trough i haven't even watched wall street, i m a little bit too Gekko sometime in my outfit. I mean often i use particular spezzati for my daily outfit.

Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. Have you considered smaller glasses?

if the impact on the real men's fashion was there, then why still we do not see men wearing the beautiful suspenders? Bygone era I think. Plus we need a lots of movies to influence on fashion, peaky blinders and boardwalk empire alone are not enough. lets hope!

Suspenders of disbelief. ;)

Wall Street || : Money Never Sleeps? Also a good movie, that ties in with the first film, obviously. Do that one.

If you were going to Eternal Sunshine yourself to forget an entire decade of fashion it would have to be the 80s. Terrifying.

And leather bags in redbrown, i dont like this color.

Hold on a minute I don't see any of these colors you're mentioning that tie was wearing it wasn't a purple and pink Paisley tie that was a dark color tie I think you're seeing the colors differently than I am I'm seeing minimalistic colors honestly I'm seeing are like darker colors not the whole not these colors you're mentioning and also I don't get this why do you see these colors but I don't let me know that in the comments bye
