    I would add:
    1. Clothes that fit you very well. Wealthy people wear tailored clothing. I am not just talking about tailoring - this applies to all clothing of all types. This even includes very loose fits. Clothes that look like they are made for you give you that Hollywood look.
    2. Wearing white generally looks more expensive as long as it's clean, because you are able to prioritise fashion over function (i.e. no need to hide any dirt or stains).

      Agreed. I’m both overweight and obese and it’s no fun. Currently working on it. I work in finance and 60 percent of the male employees are fit and look great in their suits or casual clothing. Not sure if they’re wealthy or not but sure look the part.

    When I first subscribed to your channel I focused on cutting back on visible logos and donating clothes that had large logos. Now I strictly do not wear logos and I think the clothing piece itself and the way you create your outfits should do all the talking, rather than the logo (thus implying how much you paid for it). Another great video, thank you Brock!

    1.Wear subdude colors ( darker, non colors or neutrals )
    2.Texture ( cotton is good but wool is better then cashmere is even better )
    3.Chose patterns carefully ( not common shirt with white and black cubes )
    4.Avoid visible logos ( just doesn't look good, does designer have logos ?)
    5.Mix formalities ( casual + elegant like a coat with boots and grey sweatpants and a hoodie )
    6.Accessories ( but not too much )
    7.Have a uniform ( not like steve jobs kr mark zuckerberg but u got it )

    Hi Brock, I hope you're having a great day and doing well in general in your life. I wanted to thank you. You were one of the first people or actually even the first one that I started watching when not that long ago I began my journey with dressing better. You showed me that simplicity and minimalism works great and you can look outstanding if you nail a couple crucial things. I started looking for a tailor and I found a great one that's near me. A great person and we've already established an amazing relationship! Also, where did you buy this amazing jacket?

    I will always put the fit in the first place. The day I realize that the difference between me and people on TV was the fit and actually started tailoring my clothes it was a game changer even back then when I wasn't able to buy medium price clothes but rather always lower prices, I managed to look better than people wearing clothes of brands that I knew sometime costs 3 times the price of the clothes I was wearing.
    So, about the plaid shirt, I would say is more about the color combination, the size of the pattern and skin tone and of course the fit. Because not all the shirts with white and blue plaid pattern looks the same by itself, neither the same shirt would look the same on every guy. (....except that gingham shirt of the ig account, that only works for an office job XD)

      I doubt there's any website that could manage that. There would be too much information, and no obvious way to organize it.
      Instead, I would recommend searching for affordable items that look the same, have *no* visible logos, and getting them tailored to fit. When I'm searching on eBay, I look for reviews of the brands (e.g. "well made," or "falls apart after wearing it a few times").

They made a ridiculous mistake with that stupid logo 5 times too big.. or GUCCI, CHANEL, LV etc all over the clothes, like tshirts is so garish and tasteless.

    Honestly, adding formal pieces to casual outfits is truly terrible advice. Not only does it almost always look mismatched, it screams that you're trying to "dress up" but don't actually know how (or don't care).
    Mixing formalities is the most advanced style move there is. Only the very best can pull it off.

  • @plantbased2846

    Another great video! 🙂 Thank you for delving a little more into texture. If you would like to elaborate on "how" to combine textures or guidelines for mixing textures I think that would make an interesting video. Can you mix low texture with high texture? e.g. silk shirt and corduroys? What effect does mixing the same level of texture have compared to varying textures? thicker textures on the outside or the inside? etc. so much! Another idea would be How to create the best uniform for you. If we are going to be wearing a uniform, how can we optimize it? Thank you again; I always appreciate your thoughtful and insightful videos. Ed

    • @aPixelcoffee
      @aPixelcoffee Год назад +1

      All of what you said can make up a great look. As for beginners, I would advise to mix textures, though. Just like you would combine different sizes of patterns (the most important rule of pattern mixing).
      However, do focus on such textures that are roughly in the same ballpark, e.g. denim trousers + unbuttoned OCBD + flannel sportscoat , or an S120 suit + popeline shirt + silk tie, or corduroy pants + merino turtleneck + cashmere blazer.
      You see, mixing opposite ends of the texture spectrum is just as hard as mixing the exact same ends. I wouldn't really recommend the former, as mixing opposite fabrics often times also means mixing opposite formality levels (think of jeans + tuxedo jacket).
      If you fancy some examples on how to mix super-similar fabrics, look up guglielmogiovannoni for smooth and silky looks, or kleidsam for textured, tweed-focused looks. If you want prime examples for a perfect balance of texturing, look up hespokestyle. This balance is what I would recommend to anyone starting to experiment with textures.

    • @karlr750
      @karlr750 Год назад

      You can mix low texture with high texture. I have a silk pocket square in the pocket of my tweed sports coat.
      In general, when layering, thinner fabrics go on the inside and thicker fabrics on the outside. Accessories (neckties, pocket squares, scarves) fall outside of this rule, so so they don't have to be thicker or thinner than the adjacent layers.

    Nice presentation brother. It's good to see someone clarify the 'hows' and the 'whys' and not simply that one should put all their eggs into the superficial basket of society.
    There are lots of fine coats, blazers, sweaters and other items at Goodwill. I have acquired a closet full of Italian cashmere and silk, and Scottish or Irish 100% wool for easily less than $100 but "worth" much more. Some of these items are already as if they're tailored to me, and of course it's easy enough to run to a tailor if they're not.
    This is from someone who generally wears one brand and fit of jeans and one brand and fit of plain t-shirts. Simplicity is efficient and comfortable, and easy enough to maintain or replace.
    Once you've found what works, whether in casual, daily attire or something more stylish, it's easier to keep an eye out on something like Poshmark. Whether in person or online, there are lots of great second-hand items for much less than retail price. Don't be afraid to explore a bit and just remember it's an ongoing process, not a race.

There's a really good book that I mention in the video called Status & Culture by W. David Marx. It goes in depth into the differences between old and new money, and the different ways that various groups signal their status (wealth being one type of signal).
      To be clear, I don't think Uzi is doing anything wrong. I don't think Lebron is better than him. I'm just saying that they're sending different signals and will be perceived differently because of it.

      I would start with the bling, which is a staple of either "new money" (for whites *and* blacks, for a *very long* time), or a sign that someone is spending a large portion of their money on ostentatious displays of wealth.
      In addition, the grills, sagging, and facial tattoos are staples of black *street* culture. (Facial tattoos have a long history in indigenous cultures, but the indigenous tattoos have a vastly different look.) As far as I can determine, sagging and Lil Uzi’s particular style of facial tattoos have their origins in prison culture. "Street" and "prison" don't typically correlate with wealth. Just like the working class patterns (plaid and gingham) don't look luxe … *because* a lot of working class white guys wear them.
      That contrasts with well-fitting men's kaftans or dashikis, which *often* look luxe (even when they have brighter colors or bolder patterns).
      In my opinion, Lil Uzi’s cornrows are fine (they look neatly cared for in the photo), and the jacket is a good choice (fits well, solid color, lots of texture).
      Remember, these guidelines on "how to look wealthy" are not egalitarian. They have their roots in aristocratic snobbery. In some ways it's meant to be a "secret code," so the wealthy can tell themselves apart from the rest of us. I can see how that might rub you (or anyone else in "the rest of us") the wrong way.
      But knowledge is power. If you ever want/need to look wealthy, this information is *your* ticket in.
      There's another way to look at this, however. Clothes signal what "tribe" you belong too, and what ones you *don't* belong to. I strongly suspect that Lil Uzi *deliberately* distances himself from "old money" with his clothing choices. He's advertising a giant "FU" to the 1%.

  • @schw0373

    I'm going to be honest...the past decade I've lived by the advice to wear all neutrals to "look more expensive." And I have to say, in my (now) middle age, I've gotten really bored with only wearing neutrals. So I recently bought a fairly bold kelly green button down short sleeve shirt, and I love it. In fact it looks better on me than almost anything else I own. So it's important to understand that things and a person's feelings can change over time, and if you do the same thing year after year after year, you'll eventually get tired of it. (And no, this isn't a midlife crisis--I haven't gotten a stupid Corvette so far lol)
