Great video as always @Gent'sLounge. I definitely like the thought of the pairing a suede shoe with some dungarees. Goodyear welts are pricier because of the ease of being able to re-sole the shoe, however, due to the labor, it can be more costly. You also want to make sure the sole is actually sewn and it's not just an embossed mark on the top. To double check make sure you see the stitching on the actual sole of the shoe. While I love the concept of suede for a shoe I would actually leand towards a derby, or captoe double monk as double monks are actually considered pretty informal and speak to an air of casualness. I love the breakdown of balancing the proportions as well as the "weightiness" of denim. It's definitely necessary.
Yes and No. Most guys still feel Iffy to even wear them. But, for someone who's a veteran in the shoe game, I can see why you would think that. Nicely stated.
I also think light washed jeans go well with derbies too, especially suede ones. Throw on a nice patterened button up on and your good to go. Blake stitched shoes are also a good alternative for those who feel like a goodyear welt is to expensive. Great video though.
Blake welted shoes can be cheaper but in return you lose some water resistance. When it comes time to re-sole, Blake welted shoes are generally more expensive to do and require a special machine that not every shop has. Peace and Love
Matthew Pearson Agreed. I'm aware of that as well, but despite the lack of water resistance. I think it would pay off for one to search for brands out there that offer the resoling of Blake shoes. Or even shoe cobblers who provide such services.
Personally I only wear shiny dress shoes with suits, but I wear suede, nubuck or oiled leather dress shoes with jeans and chinos. Agree with brown shoes with blue jeans and a black shirt/t-shirt, but not brown shoes with black trousers. In reality there are really no rules, we should just wear what we are comfortable with.
Are you sure about your description of a goodyear welt? I understand it to mean that the sole is completely leather, with actual stitching. I have a pair of Joseph Abboud brogues, and they have that exposed stitching on the top of the sole, but it's aesthetic and the sole is rubber. Also, a goodyear welted shoe isn't always bulky, and can be quite dressy (Allen Edmonds for example). Otherwise, another great video!
Grant Linkenbach A Goodyear welted shoe does not have to mean a leather sole. You can have a rubber (Vibram or Dainite) sole or leather or a combination of both. Hope this helps to clear things up. Peace and Love
Stacy Adams has definitely stepped up their game in the style department and they are making strides to be qualitative. You may just want to check out that you see stitching on the bottom of the sole, this will ensure you have a good year welt. If you don't you still will have a quality shoe you just may not be able to replace the sole once it's worn down. But they sound DOPE!
Blake, this is a decent video. but the thing you mentioned about black jeans and brown shoes...it isn't a very beginner move in my opinion. medium and dark blue jeans with brown shoes could be a good start for those people. black jeans and brown shoes together require a little more understanding of style and experience to be pulled off well. but even still, some people may not dig it if they shows are too dark and creates little contrast.
Great point it would definitely depend on the look you were going for. If you had sand or mocha suedes on it would definitely create contrast however if you did chocolate, oxblood, or cordovan shoes it could be an awesome pairing don't you think?
"Doesn't look like a monk strap"? These aren't even the same subject. You can get monk straps that are Goodyear welted. Sorry but the advice in this video is weird & off
Great video! I personally love double monkstraps combined with a good pair of denim, but I'm getting some mixed statements from this video, is it or is it not 'okay' to pair denim&monks?
I could seem kind of confusing but double monks are actually considered a casual shoe, you really wouldn't want to wear them with a formal suit, maybe a sports suit or leisure suit but not when you're securing the bag at the negotiating table. Because of that monks, to me, are perfection when looking for a casually dressed type of shoes, get some in tobacco brown suede and you'd be dressed to kill. Remember suede is going to soften any look so adding it to selvedge denim would be a perfect balance as they mentioned.
Awesome video, Blake! What's your opinion on blue suede derby shoes with dark denim jeans and a T-shirt/polo shirt?(it's my go to look when not wearing sneakers)
I think that's a dope upgrade although I would lean more towards the polo or nice fitted cotton or linen sweater to dress things up a bit. Just a thought.
One more a cool cool video I say to my friends they have to subscribe to GL ...you guys do a fantastic job on men stly your video are cool smart ...so happy that I subscribe to your channel
Black denim and black shoes (or sneakers) is like the singer "The Weeknd" which I kind of like. Do you know who that is Blake? Edgey look but I kind of dig it. Great video as always bro 👌🏼 #classico
Dude...nearly all high quality dress Oxfords by Allen Edmunds, Alden, Crocket&Jones, Carmina, many, many more are Good Year Welted...including the ones with pointier toes and whole cuts meant for evening wear.
“Upwards of about $800”?! 🤣💸🙌🏽Hell no man there are shoes with exposed stitching that would look way better than those easily for a fraction of that price. I mean for less than $100. Leather or suede. There’s abso-fuckin-lutely no need to break the bank specially for those on a tight budget and are possibly upgrading their wardrobe for the first time. Good advice on the styling part nonetheless but come on, that much money for a single pair of shoes? You know people could buy great quality clothes and shoes for at least two years with that much money!!🤣😂😎
I respectfully disagree with dress shoes and denim. Frankly, it's a trend that had it's time and will probably return again in the future. It reminds me of a time when men wore t shirts with vests, fedoras and a lot of accessories. Also a time when it was rebellious and cool to mix very formal pieces with very casuals pieces. Dressing down dress shoes is like dressing up sweat pants. You can probably achieve it but it never really ever looks effortless or purposeful. For the newbies keep it simple and streamlined. Instead try >> Dress shoes: Chinos (smart casual) Suits (formal) Denim: Sneakers (Casual) Chukka (smart casual) I agree with owning a good pair (300+) of resoleable shoes but I would recomend only wearing them when needed formal events. This denim and dress shoe look will leave you looking like a yuppie or a hipster. There are much better combinations that will make you look put together, effortless yet masculine.
I definitely can't be mad at your sentiment Christian. It's unfortunate but we have moved to a much more casual society the days of men wearing leisure suits when going to brunch on the weekend in mass has deteriorated to a few "Odd men out" (pun intended) that catch our attention. Even most fortune 500 companies have adopted laxed uniforms. I'm definitely glad we have departed from the vest with tees and impotent trilbies fellas were calling fedoras. But I definitely like your advice for the young man who is looking to step up his statements in style. Great POV.
This guy dresses nice and obviously has style but he speaks like a 8th grade know it all.... He beats me in style but needs some public speaking, speech classes. Thanks for trying my guy.
I agree fellas, we're all growing and learning. I hope you are all picking up where they are dropping off. You definitely sound like you have some knowledge.
Ted you can definitely wear oxfords with white or light denim, if you do I would recommend you don't go any darker than rust with color, so a sand, wheat, rust and those flow better with the rest of the look. And @Santi you definitely can wear loafers with white denim for the summer, I think he was more so addressing the dark denim for the fall and winter season. Not that you can't break the rules and wear some winter white ;)

Great video for the fall season coming up
Thank you!
Great that younger men are giving advice on how to dress properly and not like kids. Keep these excellent videos coming.
You know I gotta like before watching 🖒
I like how you explained how this type of dress, was for the guy tryn to work a dress shoe with jeans
I wish they hit their goal of 100k
Thanks Mark!

Good work 👍
Double monks are pretty casual though.
Yes and No. Most guys still feel Iffy to even wear them. But, for someone who's a veteran in the shoe game, I can see why you would think that. Nicely stated.

Unbutton your jacket when you seat down
next time Gent! thanks!
I think it looks sharp. That rule is not set in stone, esp for videos it’s allowed!
Sit down.
No 1. Make sure your jeans fit
Like the small Gents Lounge logo un bottom right corner. Great vid.
my favourite channel..
Yes! Thank you.
Great video , love denim with brown shoes . Ben
This suit is killa man. Great stf
Thank you very much!
Great video. I just got a pair of suede double monk straps in ox blood. I look forward to your follow on video
Brian Russell Suede double monk strap in oxblood? It must be cool, never seen one
Suit supply has those types out all year but ive never seen them in red suede before. Blue is easy to to come by however.
Mine are Stacy Adams. Only wore then once so i don't know how durable they are but they look really really good

Thanks Brian, it'll come out soon!

I have a notice for you sir... You never wear any bracelets with a classic suit
"Doesn't look like a monk strap"? These aren't even the same subject. You can get monk straps that are Goodyear welted. Sorry but the advice in this video is weird & off
very good video and thank you. cant wait to see more about this.
Meermin make very nice goodyear welted shoes for $170 before shipping $210.
Panagiotis Skartsilas Yeah, many others too that offer GYW for under $300.
Panagiotis Skartsilas +1 on meermin
A goodyear welt can be found on all types of dress shoes.
Yes it can. But it doesn't guarantee a good shoe.
@@gentslounge Couldn't agree more. The video seemed to imply the welt is related to specific styles of shoes.
2:22 wingtips are brogues btw. They're also considered the least formal of the brogues
Yep
Why not a 100 k yet??? I don't understand.
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video! Looking forward to your next videos!
4:57 Now its important to know when you should be wearing denim with jeans you say? lol
Great video! I personally love double monkstraps combined with a good pair of denim, but I'm getting some mixed statements from this video, is it or is it not 'okay' to pair denim&monks?

Quality video.

What about the type of socks for this look?

Black denim and black shoes (or sneakers) is like the singer "The Weeknd" which I kind of like. Do you know who that is Blake? Edgey look but I kind of dig it. Great video as always bro 👌🏼 #classico
Can you guys do a video on dress boots as well?
Yes sir!

Can suede monk straps be worn with suits
Dude...nearly all high quality dress Oxfords by Allen Edmunds, Alden, Crocket&Jones, Carmina, many, many more are Good Year Welted...including the ones with pointier toes and whole cuts meant for evening wear.
Where'd you get those sun glasses?
Bro wtf are you saying
What brand is the raw denim jeans?
Strong video
💪
Dress shoes with denim, makes you look like 'the defendant' on his day off. With denim, It's low polished loafers or suede desert boots, ya heard.
Depends on the denim and the dress shoes 🤷🏻♂️
Always👌🏾👐🏾👏🏾
No monkstraps and wingtips with jeans?
Phillip English Strongly disagree, depends on colors and leather used etc. I have several brogues and double monks that go great!
Totally agree with Ordinarily Dapper monk straps to me are a perfect pairing with denim especially if they are suede to soften the look.
Style Architexts Bingo, love my suede doubles!
Goodyear what?
Welt
Gents lounge... i love this. Keep it up. Blake, you and george are geniuses. I cant wait until the next video

Dressing down dress shoes is like dressing up sweat pants. You can probably achieve it but it never really ever looks effortless or purposeful.
For the newbies keep it simple and streamlined. Instead try >>
Dress shoes:
Chinos (smart casual)
Suits (formal)
Denim:
Sneakers (Casual)
Chukka (smart casual)
I agree with owning a good pair (300+) of resoleable shoes but I would recomend only wearing them when needed formal events. This denim and dress shoe look will leave you looking like a yuppie or a hipster.
There are much better combinations that will make you look put together, effortless yet masculine.

You should be more worrying about gus wearing slides and sports shocks
This guy dresses nice and obviously has style but he speaks like a 8th grade know it all.... He beats me in style but needs some public speaking, speech classes. Thanks for trying my guy.
No monks with jeans? Man...
TylerageWoW Yeah While some of things were spot on, others were either very opinionated and even wrong or not described correctly.
I agree fellas, we're all growing and learning. I hope you are all picking up where they are dropping off. You definitely sound like you have some knowledge.
Yes, we love it! But, that's for a bolder look. Part 2 will be dedicated to simply Monkstraps and jeans
Gent's Lounge I look forward to hearing how I consider the double monk more bold that would actually be more casual to me.
I will literally call child protective services
But why?
Gent's Lounge this is an office reference
Gent's Lounge “saddle shoes with denim? I will literally call child protective services” - oscar
What about a shotgun wedding? Lol
Too much echo
Stop saying reason being and relax when you speak bud
These aren't dress shoes
Why?
@@gentslounge they're bluchers/derby , aren't they?
Unbutton your jacket when you are seated.
Not on camera my friend. Everywhere else for sure.
Gent's Lounge I don’t see why, but you guys are the pros, Love the content, keep up the great work. Some more seasonal lookbooks would be dope.
I hate clunky shoes
No oxfords with white denim?
Ted Nghiem and what about loafers with white denim for summer?
Ted you can definitely wear oxfords with white or light denim, if you do I would recommend you don't go any darker than rust with color, so a sand, wheat, rust and those flow better with the rest of the look.
