Your great styling advice is a testimonial to the fact that elegance need not be stuffy. It warms the heart to see young men dressing like proper gentlemen again. ❤👍
Very well said - and thank you
Of these suggestions only the turtleneck is appropriate with sport coat or blazer. T-shirts, tank top, polo shirt, cuban collar have no neck covering or a flimsy collar and are meant to be worn on their own or with a sweater or casual jacket (Not suit jacket, sport coat or blazer).
You are right.
I totally agree. Sports jacket is versatile but a siut or double breasted blazer looks careless without a proper shirt.
that's right
Always love wearing a polo with my linen sports jacket!
Very nice look
This is the 1st year I am trying a polo with a suit. I loved how it looked in TENET on JD Washington. I’m also planning on trying a pale rose colored tshirt with my parchment linen suit this summer! Great video. Thank you
Hello, awesome channel, I love your content! Are you planning a video where you explain how to dress like Harvey Specter (from the series "Suits")?
I'm still hoping one day the style of Sonny Crockett will make a comeback. Yes, I know I'm old, but the way he looked was the height of fashion at the time and I still think he looked good doing it.
The good ole Miami Vice days. Loved the 80's, back when life was a bit slower and better.
It’s up to us to bring it back! I picked up some pastel coloured t shirts last year, I already have light chinos, linen blazers & loafers. Now all I need is the balls to wear the outfit! Sunny Miami is one thing but I live near rainy Manchester in the Uk.
Well Richard Anderson of saville row did Miami 1983 about year ago. Fabulous stuff. I agree looked Fabulous particularly the later part of Miami vice . U can always ware elements of the show loafers exc. And the suits just more contemporary. Just don't get skinny fit they look auful anytime and they are on the way out.
@@VIP-rp3oq I’ve just started season 4, the fashion is nearly as good as the music!
I'd like you to make a video on how to do the perfect signature as a gentleman.
Coincidence, that's what im wearing when I wake up (a blazer ,golf t-shirt and pants) all black. Top tier channel bro🎉
I hate wearing turtle necks but I love the full collared look so it’s all about mock necks these days for me
"Whenever you're wearing a polo with a jacket or a suit, make sure it's a crisp polo shirt with a strong collar." BLESS you for this. 😆👏Honestly, I feel polos with a strong collar are best even without a suit. Though, for myself, I will fight you on the tank tops with a suit. It's just tasteless, tank tops should be avoided at all costs, they are unflattering even as an undergarment. The moment you remove your suit-jacket or shirt your arms will look so much skinnier than they would with a T-shirt that, without being plastered on, nicely hugs your bicep. Thanks for another good video and cheers to your style.
If you wear the tank top, the jacket has got to stay on, for sure

Don Johnson wore the t-shirt at suit best. Looked bad ass
The shirts appeared to be vests/tanks or whatever with no sleeves & a low neck. Sometimes looked like mesh or performance fabric, likely custom made for the show.
My question is how big was his wardrobe when he lived on that tiny boat? 😂
Yes especially in the early seasons. Armani made most of the clothes for the show back then@@Nick.Brough
Don Johnson Miami vice look. gran dad tee shirts as well and shirts.. love the roll neck black suit. grandad shirts look cool
The turtle neck is a great alternative to a collared shirt in a casual setting with a sports coat or blazer. Maybe not the right look with a suit though. A fresh crisp polo can also work in a casual setting. Underwear like a tank top or T-shirt is a dud, low brow look. A linen shirt, silk, or rayon shirt with an open or cuban collar works well in a club or hot environment. Be careful with tropical themed shirts. Some can be corny or downright ugly. Others can be classy and sophisticated.
Cheers
Excellent! 👏👏👏 As a lady I do wear a t-shirt with a blazer. But I dress it up with jewelry.
Also, I love a turtleneck in winter, however it’s hard to find good natural fabric turtlenecks. I had to shop in the men’s sections at Banana Republic. I just get it in a smaller size.
Very nice style, thank you for your comment
Wonderful!!
Inspiring....Thank you
Now a video topic suggestion: formal to casual but in British Upper Class style. From White Tie to Countryside…
Thanks for this video. I often wear a turtleneck under tailoring, and sometimes a polo, although I want to be careful that the collar looks right. I've occasionally worn a t-shirt, but the look isn't really for me. Most of the time I wear a dress shirt or OCBD, either with or without a tie.
Also, thanks for the shopping cheat sheet. A good compilation of some of the most important information to keep in mind while shopping. One more thing you might want to add would be to look at how the clothes are made- are they ethically sourced, are they as sustainable as they can be? Many fast fashion and other brands use sweat shops, squeeze their suppliers, don't enforce safety standards, etc. Finding brands that make sure people are paid a living wage and are treated well, as well as that are doing all they can to limit the impact on the environment, is a key thing for a gentleman when shopping.
You might also add a couple of questions like "do I need this?" to get away from impulse purchases, or "how many times do I see myself wearing this" to help get at cost per wear...
Appreciate wearing a Jacket and a nice T shirt combo, allows you to look elevated while the T shirt relaxes it
Have you watched new series The Gentlemen? In my opinion awesome display of well dressed and mannered characters, not surprisingly from the Guy Rithicie’s vision. Maybe a good idea for video review haha
1. turtleneck (but that's more of a 70's look. Which is why I wore it in the 70s).
2. polo shirt (but only with a sports jacket or blazer)
3. Cuban collar - I don't think I would wear this myself, but I can see how it could work with summer suit or sports jacket
4. t-shirt - no, but a quality crew neck shirt could work instead
5. tank top - NEVER, save it for the beach, mowing the lawn, or daytime drinking with no AC
I personally love turtlenecks with my fall winter suits and sport coats. The buttonless knit polo is most elegant in spring/summer. In hot weather A crisp t shirt with minimal sneakers works well in linen and cotton suits. I will try the camp collar, but tucked inside jacket lapel. Save the wifebeater for Hollywood.
For my taste, Turtlenecks look best under a Blazer, I wear it often myself and women like that outfit on a men . Poloshirts also look nice, but I only wear this when the temperature is around 20 C, not to hot, not to cold.
A t-shirt with a suit is something I never do again. Take a look at the inside of the jacket neck after a warm day and a bit skin oil and sweat 🫣
Tank top is trendy at best. Equivalent of wearing near equivalent of wearing basketball shorts.
I'm a big fan of the turtleneck and suit combo (for winter parties one of my favourite looks is combining my black cashmere turtleneck with a very dark purple velvet smoking jacket), and I think the polo shirt with a sports jacket or even a suit is fine in certain circumstances as well (one of my favourite movie outfits is the shiny suit and Italian knit shirt combo Ray Liotta wears in the scene in Goodfellas when they steal the guy's truck outiside of the diner), although you have to be careful not to look like an accountant on his day off. I like camp collar shirts, but ive never liked combining them with a jacket because the spread out collar over the lapel makes one look like a seventies pimp or at best a Scarface cosplayer imo. As for the t-shirt, that's a hard no from me- you only ever look like a bouncer or an out-of-touch celebrity wearing that. And the tank top is even worse! The only time it's acceptable to wear a tank top with a suit is if you're a 1950s Italian gangster who had to get dressed in a hurry because someone was coming to whack him lol. Again, I feel it's a look best reserved for try-hard celebs desperate to stand out on the red carpet. So, in conclusion, for me the acceptable ones are sweaters and turtlenecks and (some) polo shirts. I will also sometimes wear a more informal sports jacket (such as my battered old corduroy) over one of my print t-shirts (I'm a film nerd so I have a vast collection of t-shirts with obscure movie references printed on them), but I'll often put an unbuttoned shirt in between the two layers as otherwise I feel the jacket doesn't quite hang right.
i think polos are beat with suits
Young despite my age that I am I do go for turtle neck, polo and t shirt, but the tank top, well it's not my thing...
😊❤🎉💯.
Next time brother it would look a lot better if you just wore the crew neck sweater on it’s own under your suit or even if you threw a dress shirt on and put the crew neck sweater over it or wore the t shirt by itself under it. Layering them both looks a little off.
Last two were definite no
Not dress shirt or at least an OCBD! Heresy!
Regarding tank tops and a suit or sport coat - No! Just No. Just because celebrities have bad taste doesn’t mean that anyone else ought to follow their lead. And I thought T shirts under suits went out of fashion when “Miami Vice” went off the air. There is a difference between wearing a very fine knit pullover shirt and a T shirt.
Finally, wearing a grey T shirt under a sweater that allows the top of the T shirt to show looks like you just threw something on over what you wore during a workout at the gym. It can work, but I would avoid a T shirt that is a staple color for gym wear *and* you have to be careful how much of the T shirt is showing, or it looks sloppy.
Ffs a tank top with a suit! You just look like you forgot to put a shirt on or you've rushed out quickly to the shops
you look like the bartender from that goofy cocktail mixing flash game I forget what it was called
NO
Pin?(first)
Z, have you just finished doing an oil change. Cmon man.
This is trying to justify the sloppy modern way. A a turtleneck is only appropriate with a jacket on certain occasions. Most of the time, you should wear a tie with a suit.
I'm afraid this episode has been a failure IMO. How many times have I seen guests come on a chat show in a well appointed siut only to ruin the look with sneakers or t-shirt or tank top or polo shirt or a combination of all of the above. For sure a top of the range polo shirt with a nice linen sports coat can look smart, but anything other than a good quality dress shirt, or at least an OCBD with a siut makes everything look haphazardly thrown together. This is the reason I despair at most young people's idea of fashion.
Mate it gives character. I understand what you’re saying but this isn’t 1955 a classical suit and tie just isn’t appropriate for all occasions
