I’ve been at a loss to explain why I love this channel but I think I’ve figured it out. Brian has perfected the art of subtle style; being stylish without having to resort to the ‘look at me!’ approach such as too many accessories, too many buttons undone (a.k.a., the Alpha M), and so on.
My general talking point about the whole "influencer" business is that you've got two kinds of people--look at me people and listen to me people. Pretty obvious who's who. Very much appreciate you honing in on and sharing that with me.
Your entire channel is just a style masterclass. You're a rare gem in menswear. P.S: While look #6 looked effortlessly stylish, look #7 was simply breathtaking!
I have been wearing chinos for a very long time but not exclusively. I have chinos in kaki, navy and white. Lands End are my favorites because I like long rise, pleated. I like how my assortment of chinos contrast to whatever sweater or shirt I choose, including linen. I am not comfortable wearing a shirt under a v neck sweater however. I don't wrinkle up my shirt in that way. I just wear either a crew neck sweater or a shirt or a colored t-shirt. White jeans are also in my wardrobe and dark denim. I also have wool trousers. Living in the Midwest, an assortment is essential. A blazer works with chinos. For me it is usually camel colored or a navy blazer. Thank you for your videos.
Love these outfits. I must say, I'm 38 soon and am gravitating toward many of your outfits. Great style: approachable, charming, flexible, refined, modest. Zero douchiness.
That Billy Reid suede jacket is the boots!! I like the look with the navy jacket, repp tie and the tassel loafers. Chelseas would work too since the weather is getting colder. That collared sweater you had on at your desk paired with the collared shirt is another unsung look that works well. I have several vintage Polo collared wool sweaters I wear the same way. I would triple that with the BR suede jacket or a cord blazer to go ultra-rustic and add another layer if warmth if needed. Rugby shirts are also a great layer to wear this time of year (I have several worn in rotation I wear in business casual environs). I also own an earth-toned canvas JCrew barn coat with a flannel lining & contrasting cord collar I've worn many a season until the top of the patch pockets have frayed but I can't bring myself to retire it or move it to lesser duty. I wear it with a heavy wool sweater or a snap-button Eddie Bauer feather down jacket underneath when the temps get below 30° F here in Ohio. Thanks for your posts-gives me good upscale aspirations to adopt into my own lifestyle.
Look #6 the easy weekend, an awesome look, and now I finally know how to pair a black denim jacket. I got one 2 weeks ago and was trying to figure out what to pair it with. Thanks Brian!
Really enjoy your videos as they are very informative and helpful for guys like me...older... Can't wait until I hit my goal weight so I can finally change up my wardrobe. Thanks, and keep up the great videos!!
@@hespokestyle Still have about 25 pounds left to go so it'll be while. I just let myself go WAY too far after being so much more active earlier. Don't ANYONE do that as it's just soooo much work to get back to where you were! ;>)
#early - i remember #1 from when I started following HSS. great, casual look! #2 is a more mature version of #1 - #3 and 4 are fine smart casual outfits. looking great! - #5 has a great direction, but the polo and jacket you featured aren't my cup of tea - #6 is another cool, casual look. #7 - i love monochromes, it exudes a level of style maturity. that suede jacket is killer! - #8 is a look that is very Brian Sacawa haha. idk if i can ever pull off smth like that. and i think it will look better on you with the sleeves folded up! Cheers man!
Great looks as usual! I love chinos because of their versatility but I've found I usually feel more comfortable wearing darker ones to keep the attention higher up. I guess khaki/beige pants work fine in the summer for me too though! I liked looks 3 through 5 best by the way.
Great video Brian. I have abandoned my khakis outfits , don’t ask why lol. Time to go back and step it up . These outfits are amazing. Classic, simple, elegant doesn’t get any better 👍
Hi Brian ! Sorry for my not very good English (I'm living in France) but thank you very much for sharing all these videos ! They are all very inspiring and of very good quality ! Please continue like this :)
I love your dexterity in combining these outfits. I'd wear almost all of them! With all your different shoes, I've been wondering: In what timeframe did you gather your footwear? It's an impressive range, and given the price tag of e.g. Allen Edmonds, it also appears to be an expensive one. Doesn't seem like a collection to be put together quickly to me!
@@hespokestyle That's good to hear! Over roughly two years, I've accumulated five pairs of classic dress shoes, basics each. Now the goal is variation! ;)
Loved the commentary on this vid, man. You’re just stating each outfit as it is. The “this would’ve broken the internet in 2012” bit was hilariously accurate. Great vibe. Edit: Woah! That’s a nice looking polo sweater at the end.
Dylan Lundgren thanks, Dylan. Glad you like the approach. Only thing that would have made that look more 2012 internet-lethal would be adding a navy silk knit tie with horizontal yellow stripes.
Enjoy your videos. For all the casual looks except the first one, you have your shirts tucked in. It may not look good for someone with a little stomach sticking out :) What would you recommended? OK to have the polo shirts, shirts tucked out? Thanks.
Hey Brian. I have been into style for a number of years, but now I finally wanna look towards purchasing proper leather shoes (i.e. blake stitch/goodyear welt). could you recommend a few AFFORDABLE brands that I could look into as i get started in this area, please? thanks in advance!
Hi, I really love your channel! Sadly though, I'm from a tropical countries and temperatures are above 30C/90F year-round, so I can't wear many of your outfits. Are there be any outfits you recommend for this type of climate?
Thank you so much Brian, I just started following you here and on your blog a few months ago. I've learned so much and you have helped me improve my wardrobe and style! I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm in my late 40's. One of my fears is looking like I'm "trying too hard" or dressing too young for my age. With the looks you've shown here, would you discourage me from any of them given my age (specifically the white tennis shoes) or I am safe with styling similar looks in my late forties? Thanks, man!
Quality Goods Racine so good to hear. Makes me so happy to know that I’ve been able to help/inspire you. Rule of thumb is that if you’re not comfortable with anything, don’t do it.
Super outfits 2, 3, 6, 7, rock my boat. J&M loafers sit flat on the floor, perfect, only prob with AE shoes is they curl up at the toe. great news with the 80K
Nevermind the khaki pants (styled really well with these eight outfits) you wore the tan long sleeved polo over a denim shirt?! Very cheeky! Works really well though...
Great video, Brian. Purchased a pair of the Bonobos Chinos in the Tailored fit. I got an inseam of 28. The alternative was 30 which I knew would be too long. The bottom of the pants barely cover the top of the shoe. Noticed in your video you had a slight break. By the way, the sales person said the length was perfect and “this isn’t 2005”. Thoughts on inseam length?
He Spoke Style I usually like a slight break as well but the salespeople talked me into them. Bonobos also has great customer service in general that I like. Two pair of chinos I ordered were about an inch too short. They are wearable however. They credited my account and told me to keep the pants.
Is khaki flat-front with crisp center crease and 1 to 1.5 " cuff doable? My signature look when younger, beltless with side adjusters; your take please..
hey brian, where did you get the belt at 2:30? I've been looking for a more casual belt like the one here so I don't wear the same belt on my jeans and casual trousers as my suit
I like the adventurer/explorer look now that was a super stylish look. The vest and hat kicked it off for me. Thank you for making this video I have two kinds of khakis one is more demim and the other are dicky brand. I am trying to change my look a little bit with the clothes I have. until I can afford a new wardrobe!
Regarding the suege jacket in the #7 outfit, what is an acceptable length? Seems like a few inches below the waist, but what if you have a higher rise pant?

Which look was your favorite?
My favorite was nr.7 (loved that suede jacket)
All of them looked nice 👌 . What I learned from your videos is fit of clothing is so important .Thanks man
The combination with navy jacket.
Definitely the one with the turtleneck!
Awesome! Will be available soon!

All classic looks, can’t decide which is my favorite! I can’t overstate the value of a good chino and OCBD.
Neither can I!
Love the college prep look. Simple, comfortable yet so elegant and stylish
Many thanks. Appreciate the comment and support.
Those khaki pants fit perfectly ! I need a pair in every color !
Khaki and grey, a very underrated color combo IMO. As with all your lookbooks, I wouldn't hesitate to wear any of them. Thx for the casual elegance!
You're super kind. Thanks so much for the comment!

Awesome looks Brin! This is probably your most practical look book yet. Nearly everyone wears khaki pants. Keep up the good work.
Best Dressed Dad cheers! Thanks so much for the support.
I love wearing chinos with blazer or sport coat. Thank you for the video.
You're welcome, Gabriel.
I really your colour pics , I’ve always been more black colours, but now I want to get into earth tones, great video
Great combos! Just got some great ideas on how to pack less for a business trip! Thank you!
Rene Brito many thanks, Rene!
Simple and classy. Thx for the ideas. You looked great in every outfit.
Thanks so much, Ron. Appreciate the comment.
Looks 6 and 7 are my favs. An effortless style.
L B thank so much for the comment.
The classic khaki pants with navy blazer is still my go to.
just got myself a pair of khakis, almost exactly like the one you have! Thanks for the tips, will most definitely use them in the future.
Very welcome, Omar. Thanks for chiming in.
Hey Brian, is that a tailored fit or a slim fit? Also what is the specific name of the chino?
Look #6 the easy weekend, an awesome look, and now I finally know how to pair a black denim jacket. I got one 2 weeks ago and was trying to figure out what to pair it with.
Thanks Brian!
Sweet! Enjoy and thanks for the comment.
The dalton boot is my fav! I love my walnut color pair
Very cool! It's a great boot. I've had mine for about six years.
Really enjoy your videos as they are very informative and helpful for guys like me...older... Can't wait until I hit my goal weight so I can finally change up my wardrobe. Thanks, and keep up the great videos!!

College prep/ easy weekend were my favs.
The quality keeps improving on these videos recently, excellent work guys :)
Very nice pl upload guide line for khakis shirt combination for office
Good topic.
Easy weekend is classy and can be duplicated. That's my favorite.
The 8th look feels like a magician, in a good way.
great outfit in the intro - didn't know you could do double collar.
I love em all. Your videos are a huge source of inspiration for me 👍
Great video Brian. I have abandoned my khakis outfits , don’t ask why lol. Time to go back and step it up . These outfits are amazing. Classic, simple, elegant doesn’t get any better 👍

Whenever I need a style inspiration I look into your videos..
Many thanks Man...

Renz Diaz that’s awesome. Thanks so much. I really appreciate the support.
If I feel any style I tried don’t look cool, it’s time for watching this video again and back to basics.

Thanks so much, Stefano! Appreciate the support!
What wAtch are you wearing?
Great video!
Well dang I decided to start taking attire seriously. Looks like I found a good place to start learning.
Waiting for khaki combinations and found it , very good video and great content, best of luck
Another great video, my favorite outfits were the 1,2,3 & 5 😎👌
Many thanks for the continued support.

AWESOME VIDEO!! I loved every second of it.
william Bower thanks so much!!

Would love for a whole video on "grown up casual". Currently a stay at home dad and suits don't fit the bill!
4 or 7 for me, super video again Brian
Many thanks, Gerry! As always!

What price range? "Affordable" can mean different things to different people.
@@hespokestyle hmm, perhaps around the $200-300 price range?
Ah, you made me look at khaki pants in the online store.... should I go for it? I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this video. Great job, Brian!
Haha! Everyone needs a pair. And I have to say that these bonobos are quite good.

very classic and elegant
Many thanks. Appreciate the comment.
Call me basic, but I liked the pairing with ocbd and navy blazer the most. Second maybe with the denim jacket and white shirt.
Basic isn't a dirty word. Simple is often the most powerful.
Nevermind the khaki pants (styled really well with these eight outfits) you wore the tan long sleeved polo over a denim shirt?! Very cheeky! Works really well though...
Thanks so much. Appreciate the comment.
This is a channel of men...real men!
Thanks for the support!
man I really like your style
Thanks! Appreciate the comment!
Hey Brian, what size are you in the Ralph Lauren Western denim shirt? Fit is incredible. Also is the hat from worth and worth still available?
Small in the shirt. Hat I got probably like five years ago. Should check with them.
awesome video as usual brian. What is an OCBD?
Many thanks! Oxford Cloth Button-Down: hespokestyle.com/mens-style-advice/ocbd-meaning/
Nice video thanks for listing each accessory. That's a nice watch, but it's $21,700? wow...
You're very welcome.
Brown suede jacket was an ace match.
Awesome. Thanks so much for chiming in.

Awesome. Cheers!
Great as always!! 🔝
Many thanks! Really appreciate the comment.
Love that dark brown turtleneck
Thanks! Got it probably like four years ago.
Fantastic 👍👍
Thank you, sir. Appreciate the comment.
Is khaki flat-front with crisp center crease and 1 to 1.5 " cuff doable? My signature look when younger, beltless with side adjusters; your take please..
I would do a 1.5 or 2" cuff. 1" isn't enough.
classic man u r... thanks for your suggestions...
I'm stealing number 7. Thanks Brian! 😁
Do it!
The urban sombrero. It’s here.
What type of fit are these? Tailored? Athletic? Also have you washed and dried them and if so any noticeable changes? Thanks!
Thank u.. u r doing a great job..
Vivek Parmar many thanks. Appreciate the support.
Great job swapping pieces to change the look. I feel that “the explorer” look would be better with a more texture waistcoat. Just my opinion.
I never get to wear khaki, my girlfriend hates the color haha.
Great looks though Brian!
Bummer! Thanks for chiming in.
hey brian, where did you get the belt at 2:30? I've been looking for a more casual belt like the one here so I don't wear the same belt on my jeans and casual trousers as my suit
Love your style!!
Not too slim and not too baggy that’s my perfect fit 👍
Same. Thanks for chiming in.
I like the adventurer/explorer look now that was a super stylish look. The vest and hat kicked it off for me. Thank you for making this video I have two kinds of khakis one is more demim and the other are dicky brand. I am trying to change my look a little bit with the clothes I have. until I can afford a new wardrobe!
Awesome!
Regarding the suege jacket in the #7 outfit, what is an acceptable length? Seems like a few inches below the waist, but what if you have a higher rise pant?
Aggnog wouldn’t affect anything, IMO.
May I know your thoughts on pleated chinos (assuming they are tailored to fit)?
Hmmmm, good question. Depends on the fabric. For cotton pants like this, I'd say no.
Tasteful as always thank you!
Most stylish man on RUclips. :)))
You're too kind. Cheers.
I just do it with white proclub and black cortezes
What color are those Allen Edmonds he's wearing on Look 3?
Where can you buy that suede jacket in outfit #7?
I love classic look
Arts Khaki pants, Chinos and Dockers all in the same category?
Wow fantastic 👏.
Not sure about the black denim jacket with brown shoes
Which is the color of this pent in this viedo sar plz tell me..?
Love the video
Thanks
