That’s great to hear that my content has been helpful. I think it’s an important for one to be able to do both. It’s odd to me when I see certain guys I know that really care about their appearance when it comes to street fashion but see them in a suit and they have both buttons buttoned. Why not keep the same energy with Menswear also? I’ll never understand that. Also big shoutout to Harlem, I used to hang out there a lot in my younger days. There was a spot called Skeme or Scheme on 125, that was my spot. And a cat named Ali sold mixtapes right out front. The good ole days

Cuffs, pleats, suspenders are definitely subjective and a matter of choice. I definitely think these lean into the classic menswear style and are not "requirements" but as I have gotten more into the menswear lifestyle I definitely am leaning towards the cuffed and pleated trouser as well as double breasted wide lapel suits. Keep preaching brother 🙏🏽

One more thing that really bothers me....super short collar points that aren't hidden behind the lapels. Little things...but makes a HUGE difference

Great stuff, sir! I really like your tips on matching a pocket square with your tie. You are so right about the dreaded triangle, too. I find a three roll two button jacket provides the perfect button position without having the roll of the lapel go down too far. And I'm done pushing back regarding cuffs!

I think the “dreaded” triangle can also be caused by a jacket cut with open quarters. That’s seems to have been the style for a long time. Although getting the buttoning point of the jacket and the rise of the pants right can negate the effect of open quarters.

Love the great content. For me I stopped wearing cuffs in my 30s (58 now). I didn’t like the cuff breaking up the linear flow from my pleats to my shoes. I also stopped wear suits and other dress pants with belt loops. All of my none causal pants are made for me with side straps. At 5’11, not having the horizontal line of a belt gives mean a clean linear appearance from top down. Please keep the lessons coming👍🏾.

I'm currently in a total wardrobe makeover- for something timeless and sustainable. My workplace sadly is business casual only- no suits. I can however wear sportcoats and trousers/denim. I've acquired a navy Spier and McKay Neo cut suit. Unsurpassed value! I'm loving your grey herringbone suit in the video. Should my next suit be a charcoal or is mid grey acceptable? 3 season weight before seasonal suiting? Thanks again Vlad.

Жыл бұрын

What’s up, Tommy? Mid gray and charcoal are both very versatile with the charcoal being a little more formal. But really, I’d say it just comes down to preference and current needs. Charcoal happens to be my favorite suit color, so I would lean towards that.

STYLE OG!!! 👊🏾

I’m biased. My dad, who is 80, rocked a sharp suit back in his heyday and was a non-pleat, non-cuff guy so I tend to follow his lead. My view is it’s a combo of body type and preference. If you fit in the average range of not too tall or short and your thighs are not particularly thick or thin, do as you prefer. If you’re Mr. Thunder Thighs or Sir Stubby Legs then you probably wanna rock cuffs and pleats. As for me, I’ve long been my dad’s son. However, maybe it’s time for me to try both pleats and cuffs. Because the one thing I do agree with is don’t knock something until you try it. As for lapels and pocket squares? I’m definitely on team wide/yes. In addition, I rock boutonnières whenever I can. I’m also planning to get some lapel pins. Cuff links is also something I want to get into. Anyway, keep up the good work, Vladimir!

The dreaded triangle is just about the toughest one for me to avoid. I have such a long torso that even jackets that are more classically cut (and obviously long enough for me) paired with standard high or mid-high rises give me the issue. I have a S&M custom suit that I put the maximum rise into and it still isn't high enough. lol.

@justmoritz

Жыл бұрын

I think it's one of those nice to haves if you're into that but not a requirement. It's usually also more about the jacket balance than it is the trouser rise. You might have a slightly round back and might be walking out of your coat, meaning your jacket most likely flares open when it hugs your collar. Easiest alteration is to shorten the collar C -> c. Not the easiest alteration, but also not the hardest. But then again, could just also own the triangle, as some designers embrace it as a style choice anyway.

@v_r_

I feel you and see what you mean. I’d say even S&M have limitations when it comes to their trousers’ rise. You probably won’t get the perfect fit until you go bespoke.

I teach my exact process from beginning to end without hiding anything. Guys are free to take what suits them and live the rest. My advice is usually based on me speaking to someone starting out and trying to establish their wardrobe. Once they have the basics, I hope that they can find their own personal style and take it from there. The funny thing is even though I tell everything I know and exactly how I do it, I’m never worried that if I go somewhere, I will find a guy there dressing exactly like me. And that’s because we’re all individuals and something will be different. Dressing well is an art, nothing cookie cutter about it.

Your videos are masterclasses on how to dress. Your advice is as timeless and classic as the clothes you love.

What’s up, Jason? I agree with you on the triangle and it also depends on your shape. If you have a really long torso for example, then it’s tougher OTR. But if you have a regular built, I’d recommend Berg & Berg, Natalino and Spier & Mackay’s Neapolitan cut. All come with a higher rise and a lower buttoning point.

I understand that you should never wear a Watch with a Tuxedo. The idea is that by looking at your Watch you have some where else to go.
