Hey Courtney, an idea I have for a fashion focused video would be the best/most trusted clothing companies to buy from when it comes to quality products they provide. You can break it up into several videos like top 10 luxury brand companies or outdoor fashion companies or companies with quality clothing that are affordable. You can even do a video on companies to avoid/have a bad reputation. Something I feel could be helpful, especially these days 😊
Avoid designer brands, for one thing. They charge a ton for products that can be worse than cheaper options from companies that actually care. Dress shoes are an example, since I've seen designer brands charge an arm and a leg for glued soles, rather than going through the effort of constructing them with a proper welt that would allow cobbles to resole them later.
Yes! If someone is making quality clothes that aren't $300 per shirt, please let us know. You would not believe how difficult it is as a man to find quality everyday clothes that fit and last. I'm about to buy fabric and a sewing machine lol
I would like to add a helpful tip that applies to both men and women: avoid wearing logos and graphics. To each their own-anyone can wear whatever they want-but if the goal is to be approachable, then logos and graphics are a big no. Logos and graphics make the wearer look like a walking billboard and can also make them look juvenile.
I'm not the kind of guy who posts comments very much. But there is something about CR's content and style that draws me in. I'm a happily married man with 2 beautiful children. So, what and why do I even bother with these videos? I'm not interested in any of it because I am not available. But I am fascinated by this content because I still want to be sought after by my own wife and be that guy who caught her attention in the first place. Even the little things like keeping up with being healthy and fit and clean fingernails, etc. These videos will work for not only single, but married people as well. Even though Courtney Ryan is a major distraction because of her beauty, she still is getting a major point across! Thank you for what you do!
You should make a follower outfit tier list or maybe a video where followers submit their fit pics and you rate them and say what they did well or what they could do to make it better or offer alternatives etc
Lots of great advice and examples of fall wardrobe ensembles. Re: dark wash denim: I have a pair of Gap 1969 dark washed denims that look just as good as those costing $100 or more. The color and fit are spot on! I also have waffle-knit jerseys and a fleece vest to layer over them. I'm well-covered for fall and winter!
thankyou! really good sound advice. classics never do go out of style. i appreciate seeing and hearing the basics/staples of any man's wardrobe without all the overly trendy garbage floating around on social media.
Brave Star Selvage, based in California, offers excellent selvedge jeans made with legacy denim made in the U.S. in the 60 and 70's as well as selvadge jeans made in Japan. Highly recommended.
“We love flannel on this channel” (and I love those rhymes anytimes!) ❤ but seriously you are inspiring me to break out my flannel, and appreciate you sharing about the different varieties, which I didn’t know! 😮🎉😊
Ironheart denim is definitely S-tier and I would HIGHLY recommend any man purchase a pair. As a guy who has lifted seriously for the last 10+ years and also wanted to get into selvedge denim, I can say the 634-S fit has been a godsend. Very similar to a Levi's 501, but a MAJOR step up in terms of quality and attention to detail.
I’d love to see a video on what your top 3 fashion brands look like and why.. My top 3 are Tom Ford, Saint Laurent and Ralph Lauren. Love your content 😊
Fellas, I strongly recommend The Normal Brand for literally all of these items. They have a Banana Republic sort of price point, but like she’s saying, are timeless and will last you season after season.
Really impressed with your knowledge of mens fashion. I was not expecting you to name drop some of the brands you did. Great work! Some of my favorite current brands: A&F, Beams+, Our Legacy, Wythe, Universal Works, New Balance, Freenote Cloth, and Kapital
Amazing video, Courtney! Just a quick note: cashmere sweaters are definitely not going to last longer than wool or cotton. It stretches relatively easy and is way more delicate than other fabrics. But damn they are soft and warm!
Following up on your fashion and skin care advice for the past couple of months. I’m just a student in the Courtney Ryan fashion school for men. And it’s nice because tuition is affordable.
Dixxon flannels, flint and tinder waxed trucker jacket, plain hoodie (carhartt rain defender, 10 year hoodie, Brahma workwear) and red wing boots are fall essentials 🤌🏼
Really great video, as always :) Like that u are using basic things and show how to combine them in the best possible way! Can u maybe put a timeline in to your next vid again? This is really helful, if someone like me wants to find specific stuff in the vids :)
I really liked theses recomendations on clothing and shoes. A hot weather edition would be nice tho where I live we have 6 months of summer (really sunny and hot) and 6 months of winter (just rain and and wind, not freezing cold)
Suspenders with a long sleeve flannel shirt with rain boots and a trucker hat definitely one of a kind you’ll have all the ladies staring at u in that type of fall essential outfit
As someone with fashion dyslexia, these are your best videos by far! LOL. Video request: Please make one about sneakers/trainers. In particular, ones that don't look too "gymmy" with giant sporty brand names all over them. Something a bit more smart. Also, what do you suggest for non-white options?
Courtney, throw in the leather aviator style flight jacket, I constantly get a “you look cute!” when I wear it! Guys, I promise you, aviator jacket with lace up boots to match will make you look crisp 🤌🏽🔥
I love Iron Heart Jeans and have 5 pairs in various cuts. As for USA made denim I can’t speak highly enough of Raleigh Denim Company. Their Jones cut is the perfect slim straight. They fit like a dream and have unparalleled quality and style.
These videos are great Courtney and i agree with a lot of the advice given. Would be interesting to see a video on more creative/out of the box ways to pair pieces together to achieve certain looks for men. 😊
Another great video Courtney. I feel like you have some of the more well-rounded approaches out there when it comes to this topic Would love to know your thoughts about the “old money” aesthetic
I got my buckskin overshirt and heavy flannel from Courtney's list last year ready go. They're actually my go-tos as far as overshirts go. Got some compliments because of them. Ready for Fall. 👕
It's gonna be mid November before I can wear any of my!dress clothes here in Houston. Were hitting 95-98 degrees for the next 10 days, with the heat index in the lower 100's.
I like how you said repeating certain items is by design in your videos and I can't help think it's directed at me! Some times I watch the video and think to myself.."meh"..but the next video you mention things like dark denim i'm like.. yeah yeah she said that last time! Then I'll watch another of your style vids and I think.. okay, those DO look sharp, I gotta check it out..hahaha... I have to say after watching a number of these over the last few years I've gone from the logo/concert t's to more solid colors, neutrals and so on. I will say, i'm a huge fan of Ralph Lauren clothing in general ( Not the bright pinks and greens and so on). They are fairly expensive but their clothes don't shrink or fade and I've had some shirts or pants and even socks for years. regardless of brand, like you say, it's a good investment. Thanks!
One note about cashmere sweaters is that they are probably less durable than cotton or wool/merino wool, so it won't necessarily last you much longer simply because it costs more. That said, if you buy a quality cashmere sweater (not cheap ones) and launder it carefully, it should indeed last you years. Standard cotton and wool/merino sweaters would be the more durable and cheaper option, so those are definitely still great.
Love your channel and your voice is so smooth and comforting. Do men typically stop wearing white sneakers without socks in the fall and winter? Office setting with dress pants, white sneakers, polo or sweater….
Regarding the trench coat, I advise to buy one that goes beyond the knees. Otherwise, you end up with a wet, soaked patch on your leg above your knee. I have coats in navy and khaki. I stay away from black because I think the other two colors are more versatile.
For denim don’t forget Naked & Famous! They’re the best selvedge. For non selvedge, beware of high elastane content like Express. The elastic shrinks in dryer and leaves weird lines in the front of the jeans
If I buy a shirt with with a logo it has to be a tiny one on the top right hand corner other than that I always buy plain shirts in either black, burgundy, dark grey or sometimes navy blue I only own one shirt in white
Well, I’ve got three flannel shirts (olive green, gray, and green checkered) so I guess I’m ahead of the curve! 😂 Anyways, just curious Courtney, what do you think of fashion pieces that double as conversation pieces? I have a ball cap with a bottle opener on it that I’ll wear out or when traveling and so many people will stop and ask me about it. I tell them the story about how I acquired it and from there I’ll usually engage in a nice conversation with the stranger(s) that asked me about it.
This was very useful, so thank you, Courtney. I’d love if you made a similar video but for summer. Actually, I live in a tropical country, so it’s warm year round. Shorts and tee shirts are my everyday staple (I work from home), so I’m trying to up my game with some style that wears well and comfortably in hot weather. Again, thank you for your videos and tips!
Henley thermals are also great...especially if your fit makes you look bigger and tapers your vtaper (if you have one if not what are you waiting for hit the gym boys💪)
I've locked in on the Thursday Captain (Arizona Adobe) boot from their rugged & resilient line with a rubber sole a while back. I intend to use it for walks in parks (hence the rubber sole) and casual events. Maybe I might go for a Viberg with ChromExcel leather after some years if I really enjoy the service boot style.
I live in service boots. They elevate your look and boost your confidence, no matter what else you are wearing. Thursday is fine for beginners, but when you are ready for a huge jump in quality, go for Grant Stone. For boot beginners, ordering mail order from these companies and getting the correct size can be stressful. If you are not ready for mail order, go for Red Wing heritage boots.

Exactly when I was thinking about my fall wardrobe, Courtney pops up on my feed with knowledge and wisdom.

Remember, expensive doesn't always mean better. My $10 shirts still are fitted, and last years.

Yes, 100%.
Big logos are for children and early teenagers. Men should not wear logos!
@@alwayspooh1588 What? The giant glittered cross isn't attractive to the ladies? (Sarcasm. Reminded me of an old shirt I used to have).
Or women can see a graphic tee with a common interest and it sparks a conversation.
@@MattPerrette Eh, sure, Forrest. Hey, look over there-it's Jenny! Run, Forrest, run!
Happy First Day of Fall Everyone!
Thanks 🎉🍁
To you, too, Lawrence.
You too! 🥰
Thank you all! Don't forget to enjoy a pumpkin-flavored treat!
Courtney back again dropping wisdom.
🥰
No, just her opinion of a specific demographic.
You are better than any of the guys telling us about what to wear. This was practical and doable for anyone.
WHAT!! no graphic tees of batman and spider-man :(
😂
Just pair it with a nice blazer and basketball shorts and you're set
@@sucraloss he was being facetious
@@sucraloss blazer yes, basket ball shorts no, decent pair of jeans instead
Batman goes without saying. Batman is not essential in the Fall only, Batman is an essential in all seasons.
Wow, straight to the point and without any ads? Nice 👍🏽

Thats why im here man! My new interest for mens style has made her happy to say the least.
This is the way
As a denim head it warmed my heart hearing you mention Ironheart and Samurai. Ironheart is my favorite brand as a bigger guy.
As always, very informative and a pleasure to watch and listen to.
And the most attractive is your healthy not just physical..so workout just walking everyday for the heart...
This channel gives the most practical advice and tips men need to be their best selves!
Aww I’m glad I can help! 🥰

Naked and Famous is japanese denim imported and cut and sewn in canada. Highly recommend

Thrifted a nice vest over the summer in preparation for fall! Can't wait to wear it out now that it's going to be colder.
Ive always been keen to a classic flannel shirt, with jeans and some boots...a good cologne works well with this outfit. 😊
Love your rhyming couplet - "we love a flannel on this channel".
I do agree with the knit polo with the zipper and sleeves rolled up, one of my favorite things to wear in the fall.

"we love a flannel on this channel"- CCR ❤
It's that time of year again, where I get all my fashion tips from Courtney. (I'm in Arizona so fall is just about to hit lol)
Love your fashion sense, classic & stylish choices. Thanks!
Happy first day of fall Courtney! I love the advice. It has been working for me so far ❤

Just picked up a Swade jacket from the new Autumn collection the weekend. Wore it on a date and it went down well .
A Swiss men’s Cashmere scarf is always a go to for those October coffee dates…
Also congrats on Mr.Muffin 😊

Thanks Courtney for these Fall essential options. Just alot to digest and what works for me in general in which ain't be that hard.
Courtney Is Back Again Giving Us The Best Advice
Apparently Facebook users are now possing to be women now a days getting on my nerves to be honest
These videos are great Courtney and i agree with a lot of the advice given.

Another good men's essentials video for men from miss Courtney.

I reckon I'd look quite the bon vivant knocking around temple bar in Dublin wearing a suede jacket and a pair of loafers , great video
Solid suggestions! Thanks for the video.
My favorite denim is Nudie jeans, APC, and the Flat Head Co.
I got my buckskin overshirt and heavy flannel from Courtney's list last year ready go. They're actually my go-tos as far as overshirts go. Got some compliments because of them. Ready for Fall. 👕
Woohoo! 🍁
I have outfit photos that I need roasted on, so I hope Courtney makes another rate my photos in a upcoming video 😂.
Appreciate the recommendations, too, and also like the warmer/cozier shirt you have on. 🤗 Great color!
One of my favorite denim jeans brands is Mari and Fidelity.
I love these new styles but these are more for the winter time.
Thank you I was commenting for this from last 2-3 videos

Hey Courtney, would be great to see you do some reaction vids to Orion Taraban's stuff...
I live in AZ, it’s summer 10 months of the year 🤣
The best budget denim (in my opinion) that holds up to looks and wear and tear are the Wrangler Cowboy Cuts 13MWZ
The best channel - pure class keep up the great work! In the UK we call the first item a shacket (shirt/jacket)
I love Autumn, it just brings really awesome feelings and aura, both mentally and physically
Actually good items. Thank you Mona Lisa

I've locked in on the Thursday Captain (Arizona Adobe) boot from their rugged & resilient line with a rubber sole a while back. I intend to use it for walks in parks (hence the rubber sole) and casual events. Maybe I might go for a Viberg with ChromExcel leather after some years if I really enjoy the service boot style.
I strictly wear Levi denims. The 541’s and 559 jeans work perfectly for men that workout and do not skip leg day!
Heya! It's our friend, Courtney!
🥰
I live in service boots. They elevate your look and boost your confidence, no matter what else you are wearing. Thursday is fine for beginners, but when you are ready for a huge jump in quality, go for Grant Stone. For boot beginners, ordering mail order from these companies and getting the correct size can be stressful. If you are not ready for mail order, go for Red Wing heritage boots. They are American classics for a reason.
