Hi Mark, it is all about self confidence and that that is built up by exposure to new things and taking advancing steps in what we wear. Glad you enjoyed the video Mark and your continued support👍🙂
and experience.
I'm a big fan of the cravat/ascot and wear them on a very regular basis.
Hi there, they are a great addition to a persons wardrobe, adding colour and detail to a look. Great to hear you wear them👍🙂
I like the idea of wearing a butiner in your lapel using an attractive fishing fly.
Hi there, a boutonniere is a nice accessory to consider wearing whether its fresh or artificial and you as you mention using a fishing fly brooch, that is also another great look, but consider the level of formality when using one they particularly look good with a tweed jacket - good choices👍🙂
Great theme! On pocket squares: I tend to find them a little bit festive and more suitable for dinner etc. To the office I do wear a jacket and a presidential fold pocket square as this is more business like imo.
Hi Sjoerd, great to hear from you again and glad you enjoyed the video content. The great thing about using a pocket square or Handkerchief is the flexibility you have in wearing it more flamboyantly or not and what you state makes perfect sense. 👍🙂
Years ago I decided to embrace my eccentricities. So I'd wear a suit even though I'd be working from home or whilst dog-walking and using a cane. Lately, I've been mustering up the courage to purchase a smoking cap. Do I smoke indoors? Of course not. Is a tasselled hat "outlandish"? Perhaps. I enjoy your videos and always imagine you to be some well-heeled man about town.
Hi there, lovely to hear you embraced your eccentricities. Wearing a suit is always a pleasure for me and even if I'm casually dressed I still apply some style to the way I dress. It is great to hear you employ a walking cane. The smoking cap is definitely a statement piece, I have seen people wear them in public, they did have a particular function historically although rarely used in this day and age for their original function. Based upon the loose design of the Fez commonly in velvet, I personally love the look of the embroidered version with a tassel. There is always the Pill box version and the late Lord Bath "Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath" was regularly seen sporting one. He was known for his eccentric ways, and unfortunately passed away on the 4th April 2020 after he was admitted to the Royal United Hospital in Bath having contracted Covid 19 at the age of 87. Lovely to hear your views on embracing your eccentricities 👍🙂
Very nice video, thank you. I really like wearing bow ties, cravats, pocket squares and hats daily. Never had any negative comments about them.
Hi Alberto, Great to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your insight and positive comments about wearing bow ties, cravats, pocket squares and hats daily without any negative comments 👍🙂
For example, this morning, for our supermarket shopping, my attire was made of linen shirt and trousers, dress shoes, silk cravat and linen/cotton flat cap. Several admiring looks, but no negative comments 😊
Great advice Chris. I think Ash From the chap's guide calls it turning up the style volume. You're right, a collar and a pair of chinos with dress shoes and you are already to go!
Hi Bernard, glad you enjoyed the video and you are correct, Ash uses the analogy of turning up the style like a volume control, which I think is a good way of thinking about it.
It doesn't take much these days to raise the bar from wearing just jeans, ill fitting T shirts and dirty trainers, but once you do you are on the road of improvement sartorially speaking.
It is great to see a new wave of younger men, now slowly starting to challenge this herd like uniform and personally stepping up their game and standing out as well dressed individuals, it is encouraging to see. Thanks for your comments and continued support 👍🙂
Hello Chris. Another great video. I have been wearing a fedora and flat cap since the 1970s . I also have a deerstalker. Always wear a pocket square with a jacket. Most people appreciate A well-dressed man the ones who don't or make fun are either jealous or don't matter. Agree with your comment on tweed jackets. As for bow ties I'm not going to wear them except for black tie. But I would suggest if you are going to wear one learn how to tie one and not wear a pre-tied bowtie. Thanks for sharing Chris. Cheers Ron
Hi Ron, glad you enjoyed the video and your comments show a man with self confidence and a good grasp of sartorial matters. I full agree with you about - if you are going to wear a bow tie, best practice is to wear a self tied one rather than a pre-tied one. Thanks for your continued support Ron👍🙂
Nicely done!
Thank you👍
Excellent little round-up.
Hi there, thank you and glad you enjoyed the video👍🙂
Great content Chris. Confidence is everything. Wear your style with impunity. Stand tall and stand out. Pocket squares, neckties, cravats, braces, hats, waistcoats, bulled shoes, scarves, wear all of them. People love to see a well dressed man. They just smile and wonder how you do it.
Cheers
Hi Douglas, you are so right! People do love to see a well dressed man, even if not spoken, it is always noticed. I regularly receive positive comments from people young and old, but primarily I wear things for me and how they make me feel and I always advocate the same to others. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂👍
Excellent content, Chris. Your sitting room is the perfect backdrop for these videos. I experiment at home with all of my outfit ideas, often test assembling everything on a wooden coat hanger. What started out just wearing a cravat / ascot with an open neck shirt, has gradually progressed to a sports jacket, tie, waistcoat and pocket square. Double cuff shirts elevate the look of any suit, jacket or blazer, but it was the addition of highly polishing my shoes that drew a surprising level of positive attention. Growing sartorial confidence can also express itself in the variety of colours we wear. But if upgrading our appearance is what we want to achieve, a neater hair style (with a regular haircut), and extra attention to personal grooming (including dental care) are always good places to start. I was 20 LBs overweight, which had to go and has stayed off thanks to a permanent lifestyle change. Daring to be different means turning your back on the stereotype appearance of your particular age group and instead developing your own image / sartorial style that sets you a noticeable step up from the pack. It has certainly changed my life for the better.
Hi John, glad you enjoyed the video and shared your personal sartorial journey with us. You make some excellent observations and recommendations for other wishing to start their own sartorial journey and the positive benefits that can be gained. I guess the key message is 'attention to detail' not just in what clothing combination one wears, but also our grooming, polishing, pressing and cleanliness plays a significant part as well. Thanks for your comments and continued support👍🙂
11:10 I love lock and Co too 😉😉 i have just recently been there they are so fery nice
Hi there, Lock & Co are great and give should a lovely relaxed service, the staff there are lovely people, open, approachable and friendly👍🙂
In addition to wearing around the house, the next step maybe a 20 minute walk around the block until confidence is better
Hi there - a good suggestion👍🙂
This is a great topic! So many accessories and garments can fall under this consideration.
Hi Pete, glad you enjoyed the video and liked the content👍🙂
I love your style. I do wear hats, but only one particular type. Pocket square, I've never worn in my style, but I'm more now considering adding to my wear. Thanks
Hi Maurice, glad you enjoy the videos and style. It great you wear hats and that you are now considering wearing pocket squares 👍🙂
Since the 10th grade And until now I have pretty much where ever I went, as long as it wasn’t just walking to supermarket, worn my signature style, which consists of a mostly either blue or red tie, a red pocket, square, as well as the Homburg hat A double breasted pinstripe, navy suit, and a pair of dark brown, whole cut Oxfords From Budapest i’ve worn it for the last years of school. I’ve worn it when going to the city and just recently had my journey to London where I was happily surprised by the incredibly great resonance I got for it I visited Savile Row jermyn Street and the heart of the city of London in general, I even visited Buckingham Palace with it, and from a lot of people I met on the street to even the staff at Buckingham Palace. I was overthrown with compliments for my style which probably is a combination of its being a rarity today as well as it being very classy British, this style gives me a lot of confidence and covers my personality, as good as modern style never could. And while I am trying to collect a few more suits shoes, and so on, as I am deeply interested in the hall, artistic crafts from the shoemakers to the suit makers and so on I have as I said one this combination for years and the residence was mostly very good so even if one can’t afford or just doesn’t want to buy several suits and shoes and hats and so on or maybe doesn’t want to go to bright in a style, I think that a dark or navy coloured suit with a nice pair of oxfords, I love brown because of the many different tones and variations of the colour They’ll probably black would be less attraction, seeking and a nice hat Can very well builders style on which you can rely for use. It will give security as you’re used to it while making sure you never look bad in it though on a sidenote. I certainly wouldn’t recommend to you wearing a red tie in any situation where you do not want to get a lot of attention as I can assure you this is what that will do.
Hi Jonas, it is lovely to hear you are dressing in a traditional style. You sound like you have embraced all of the artisan skills or crafts in the way you dress. it great to hear you are a hat and suit wearer, embellished with a pocket square and tie. Shoe colour is always an interesting subject, and I tend to wear a lot of brown or burgundy shoes myself in more informal occasions. I find that black is wore less frequently in this day and age, but I do wear black shoes in a formal setting. I always enjoy my visits to London and it's lovely to hear you also enjoyed your time there. Keep dressing sharp and impress the people you encounter. Glad you enjoyed the video🙂👍
@@TheBritishDapper I did and I i’m also looking forward to my next pair of shoes, being burgundy whole cuts The black is personally not for me just because of The variety of colours, which I do not have there
Compliments on the fit of your clothes.
Glad you enjoyed the video and your comments👍🙂
I might as well eat a little recommendation for everyone watching this video, especially for the people being on the start of the journey times as well as pocket squares are because they don’t have two fits your body only your style very great to get used or in case of a pocket, square you could just buy a little piece of whatever material you wanna use for it at the shop. It is gonna be much cheaper and very comparable because a tire or a pocket square can easily cost £40 each likely more, and if you can save money there, it is much more useful to actually invest them in a good suit, and a pair of shoes as well as a hat. for those are items where it is absolutely necessary and in fact stands above anything else a good suit pair of shoes and hats with certainly bang careful than welcome last you a lifetime and you can very well wear them every day, The three of them are just things where are you better have only one of each but the highest quality you can somehow get while for a pocket square and a tie. It is absolutely alright if you buy them cheap and used and therefore have a few more of them, so you can vary your other items more for example, red tie and pocket square as I tend to sometimes wear it can completely change the look of a navy suit from incredibly conservative too pretty loud. The most extreme is it likely will be grey suit as you can combine it with pretty much any colour and completely change the look and feel of it Can perfectly wear green or yellow ties with it in the summer and maybe use a dark blue striped one to make it perfect fit for the darker winter days
Good advice Jonas and I agree, where possible buy natural materials and buy the best you can it will stand the test of time and last you a life time, classic never goes in or out of date and remains stylish, where as fashion related items fade. I'd agree a grey suit is very flexible and a navy striped suits is a great choice.🙂
If I might give you a little critique. I would in your position, maybe think about a little smaller of a tie knot no, the rest of the outfit is wonderful a bit conservative with the black only, but I love the double-breasted style and the very large lapels I also even though I am aware, it may not look overly great. I would very much recommend you to get something to dampen sound as it. Has a lot of echoing through the room and just a bit of a mechanic tone it is critique on a high level, though, like I said I like your video and your style very much, but if you could improve the audio quality, I think that would be a very great influence to your videos
Thank you Jonas for your comments🙂👍
Please turn up the audio levels on your videos. They are difficult to hear sometimes.
Thanks 👍
