Carhartt jeans and chinos are super durable and really comfortable. I can get Carhartt in 100% cotton; this improves breathability in the 112F Tucson summers.
I would beg to differ. One should ideally dress in a way so as to not offend the sensibilities of those around him. These torn, faded and ill-fitting clothes with a load of ill-suited jewelry or accessories will put one off and should be avoided on all occasions especially on those when one has to have an interaction with another. As for me I would any day prefer to wear a decent set of clean well fitting clothes.

Her "advice" isn't really suited for my generation (I'm gen z, born in 2000). In my experience, we like an outfit that's interest, that draws the eye.

Granted, I don't wear workwear so much, but I appreciate the workwear look when it's put together well. It works for Daniel Day Lewis.

@@michaeltheewolf Same here. I love my carhartt clothes and wear them all the time on the farm. It would be stupid if I thought they look great on me but didn’t want other people to wear them.
Most of these are right. However, when it comes to leather jackets: leather jackets are, and always will be cool. Period. It's a timeless design, and it'll never be out of style.
the strokes are still cool, smart watches are incredibly useful, and leather jackets are never out of style, especially when you actually ride a motorcycle. Although I'm on board with most of this I'm definitely over female influencers wearing business casual when they don't work in an office. It gives me hard multi-level marketing vibes. "No questioning my rules" lol wtf
Even worse, it gives me HR vibes. I could replace them all with a python script, but alas... we need to meet that Affirmative Action quota; no woman wants to do my job even if it pays double her salary.
It's so fun watching this video even though I disagree with most of what she said. It's like some people are still stuck in an older era and aren't able to move on .
I agree with over half. Everyone has their own opinions. I watched a few episodes of Loudermilk recently. If they were actually filming in Seattle, people still look like they did in the nineties. Even the younger ones.
This video made me want to invent the reverse Ashley Uno style: crocs with socks, cargo jeans shorts, vintage print T-Shirt, sport sunglasses and a mullet I will need a stick to swatch all the girls away from me!
As a single guy in my 40s who wears cafe racer leather jackets fairly often, I can assure you 99% of 'worthy' women love the look, when it's well-fitting and accompanied by a confident personality. I'm almost certain Ashley doesn't rate them because most of us guys who do wear them (yes, I do have a couple of bikes) would never approach someone like her because we are just not interested, we don't really like picky princesses, we like actual women, real women not those who got stuck in their 'fashion red-flags tick-box list' perspective of men they jotted down in their 20s.
@@RPGmario64 if unsuitability to task was to determine what looks tacky, then nobody should ever wear underwear, the reason for it's existence is based on old ways of people wearing the same garment, pants for example, several days in a row and underwear would be changed daily to avoid stains or accidents from ruining the garment... I trust most people nowadays wear different things each and everyday so underwear is really not necessary. Point is, people should wear what they want and makes them feel comfortable and more importantly confident in who they are, that is far more attractive than a shy "well dressed" man.
@@samsantana Physique is a definite factor. Confidence I'm not so sure. I see plenty of confident people looking ridiculous in them. It's to do with the material itself at the end of the day. Leather is very, VERY difficult to get right. It makes bad detailing all the more conspicuous and moreover, most patinas are frankly awful. I'd say about 1 in 50 leather jackets look genuinely good. Not great odds. Suede is generally a better bet.
Carhartts are for function, but even they can look great when sized correctly, its COLD here in MT and im in a medium black detroit jacket, fits great, looks great, WORKS GREAT!
I think those jackets are tacky personally, but I don’t think she’s a stylist whatsoever, all of her advice seems to just clean mean up from sloppy habits and discourage any experimentation or dressing outside of the mundane. Which I think a lot of guys could honestly use the advice, so this channel is genuinely very useful, but I think she should recognize that her views of fashion are restrictive and don’t leave much room for discovery.
The fact that she made a point to say it’s 2023 go get your hair cut but failed to reinforce the fact that it’s 2023 and smart watches are the norm and not going anywhere
@@yaakovhassoun8965 I understand that I love the OG watch brands. However just like driving a classic car around having a classic watch isn’t normal. It’s very much niche. Smart watches are everyday watches and if you do have a classic watch like myself, you normally wear it for special occasions or work if applicable. Nowadays, it’s all about utility. 300 for a classic watch isn’t the same value as 300 for a smartwatch.
The added bonus of workwear (if you do happen to be into it) is the fact that it tends to be made of better quality fabrics than the vast majority of fashion out there.
It's not overly masculine where I'm from. Heaps of women wear it, tonnes of dudes with pink hair and nails rock it too. I think Ashley is just classist and doesn't that some people look like they might have to use their hands for something that doesn't involve a computer.
Leave my leather jacket alone. Yes I know I'm too old. Yes I know people think I'm pretending to be a bad boy biker (I usually don't wear leather jackets on my bike). But I love it and I'm keeping it.
Half way through and, NO SURPRISE, ,YOU'RE WRONG AGAIN!!!! Flared pants also DOMINATED the men's runways for Spring and Summer 2023, from Dolce and Gabana to Rick Owens, to Balenciaga, to Moschino, and many others.
I don't like the giant logo, but they seem like high quality rugged clothing. I would give Carhartt a pass as well. I like the simple clean lines of the similar Eisenhower jacket by Dickies.
Much here to agree with, but a couple points I take issue with. First is workwear - utilitarian garb when out hiking, doing work on the ranch, or out in the woods, is a must. It's functional and durable, qualities that win out under those circumstances. The second is the vest -- puffer vests are great during transitional weather, and also when out hiking or on expeditions, where you need some body warmth, but where exertion rules out a full coat.
Yeah I paused it a minute in to reflect that I am glad that I have a career and don't have to resort to making videos about how clueless I am about the other sex.
So many things I don’t agree, like the vests, the boots, the leather jacket. Maybe some people don’t live for trends and just live wearing whatever you feel comfortable with. Here in Shanghai the “trend” is so many things she consider “bad”. And here in Asia you actually see crazy stuff lol
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou i am. You see everything, and many of those things are things the fashion RUclipsrs consider “wrong” or “bad” which is funny because Asia is the number 1 place for trends hahah
I have to disagree about throwing away white socks. I'm not saying to wear them, as they are not a great fashion choice. However, socks are the number one item needed at homeless shelters and similar places. Donate those socks! As far as the Carhardt items, I have a few, but I tend to wear them as rugged outdoor attire, not fashion apparel.
@@FractalSoul1111 It's not "trolling" to suggest we should refrain from mocking people for how they dress, since wealth plays a big role in how well someone is able to dress. If you can't wrap your head around that, you've got a lot to learn.
Agree with most except the workwear take. I think it makes so much sense to include workwear into your casual street wear. It’s built to last and built to be functional. A sun faded slightly worn carhartt jacket is such an awesome look that will never go out of style
I like my boot cut jeans, work jackets, work boots, cafe racer jackets, flannel shirts, vests, and graphic tshirts... but I agree that skin tight jeans and big purposeful holes in jeans look rediculus
The point is that she has a very stereotyped way to think about clothing. She is frozen in the '90s, but in the american nineties. She understand about male fashion as much as i understand about quantum physics
The industry can’t grow when everyone is already clothed. They can only grow by creating a trend that you buy now, only to trash it a year later, to buy the next junk.
This woman is the definition of mid, wants all men to look mid, fashion is the complete opposite of what this middle aged woman is talking about, it’s about expressing yourself but instead you want everybody to dress like a minimalistic 50 year old
I may be 60 but no way am I giving up my biker jackets. I wear them on my Motorcycle. And no I am not going through a midlife crisis’. I have owned and ridden them for going through London and pleasure since my 20s
I've worn a leather jacket for over 20 years. It's the most practical jacket I can think of. Warm in the winter. Not extra warm in the fall or spring. Good in snow or rain. Best all around jacket IMHO
Carhartt was never designed to be a “fashion trend.” It’s heavyweight, durable clothing, designed to be worn by hard working men (and, to an extent) women. They also make well-insulating jackets that few to no one in California have any practical use for. Those of us who have always worn it for its intended use will continue to do so long after the hipsters move on to their next cringe move.
For any guys with athletic legs meaning small waist thick thighs that make slim fit look like skinny fit. There's a brand called Bonobos thats make athletic cut jeans with more room in the the thighs and tapers at the knee for a fitted look. A little pricey but worth it!
I live in the Deep South and unfortunately, you just described 99% of the men along the gulf coast. Equally as unfortunate, is the women are just as fashion challenged. It’s a fashionistas worst nightmare. Their idea of layering is socks with sandals/flops. It’s beyond cringe worthy. Pray for them.
So you’re telling me that I grew up on Metallica but I can’t wear a Metallica shirt cause I’m older, but some kid that never even heard the band can wear there T-shirt? Doesn’t seem right.
As usual, the one thing I just can't get behind is Ashley's hatred of the Cafe Racer Leather Jacket (I've got them in both Black Lambskin and Brown Nubuck). I'd get it if she were talking about guys walking around in legitimate Biker/Motorcycle Jackets whose thickness are meant more for function than form/fashion. I'd definitely get it if she was talking about the Brando/WIld Ones-style Moto Jacket because it's a specific style that very few can pull off. But her hatred for the Cafe Racer has never made sense to me, and she never explains it - she just dismisses it as an option and then moves on (surprisingly not this time to spending 5 minutes gushing over Leather Bomber Jackets).
yea I have watched a few of her videos and by far that's one thing I can't get behind lol. It's the most simple leather jacket that can be dressed down or up, and most men can pull off compared to let's say.. a rough biker jacket, it is very versatile and gives you more options than let's say a brown suede bomber jacket. I love wearing my lambskin black leather jacket with a nice white oxford, a tie, some black denims & black chelsea boots, just like I like just slapping it on a black casual fit to go to the store. A bit juvenile but as a 24 year old dude I think it switches things up sometimes, since typically people see me in chinos, polos, oil jackets & windbreakers.... so I always get compliments from people that see my everyday uniforms. I think her videos are just aimed towards the older crowd, and she really believes men older than like 35 shouldn't be using leather jackets, seems to be more of a biased preference of hers, which when one thinks about it-> it makes sense.. generally speaking most men with dad bods in their 40s don't look great with leather jackets anymore, so she just generalizes her advice of the jacket & hands it out to all of us equally, rather than advising that they can look great depending on your body type, and that they can look great on slim mid age men and younger men or whatever she really feels.
100% correct. I own a brown cafe racer jacket and people love it - gets compliments all the time. Also in one of the pictures of an example of a stylish man (at the 8 sec mark) she showed in this video, he was wearing a cafe racer jacket haha, and looked good!!!
What I love the most about these videos is that I've likely committed roughly 50% of these fashion faux pas and I still couldn't give less of a sh*t. Do you, be yourself, and (most importantly) be happy. Don't fall victim to one person's opinion. As you were.
Only one I don’t agree with is the vest. Well kinda. There are some really nice slim ones. The puffier the worse. I appreciate how you got right to it and held nothing back. Great content.
only 2 disagreements: 1. the jacket at 7:03 - it could be a bit less shiny but there's nothing wrong to warrant the dislike 2. smart watch - sorry, I do absolutely love Tissot traditional wrist watches for the look and value for money, but one must be living in 2010 if they dislike smart watches that much.
Wear what you feel good in. I believe in timeless designs that doesnt go out of style. Following trends fades away. Be who you are and dont listen to her either.
Sorry, but I'm not giving up my puffer vests. I live in the Canadian prairies where it can get to minus 45 degrees in January and February. It's about function as well as style for me...
Most of this list is fine besides the leather jacket. I get complimented on mine all the time, people really love them. Also white socks can be done right, but people seem to wear them wrong a lot of the time.
I feel as tho this video doesn't allow a person to explore their own personal style and should therefore go straight to Banana Republic. However, Ashley does bring up some good points. But at the end of the day fashion / style is a personal journey.
I sort of disagree with the point about T shirts. While it don't think an extremely oversized T shirt will look good, I don't think the ideal ending point for a T shirt is the belt line. I think it looks much better fitting to tuck the shirt so that it ends where the pants begin. Thereby, the proportions look much better as it applies to the rule of thirds and the golden ratio (1/3 your shirt, 2/3 your pants).
I don’t agree with the white socks hate. I believe they can look clean and well put together. They go great with any sneaker color. Black socks and white or blue sneakers a huge no for me. And crocs like flip flops, at the right place and time are okay.
As useful as pages like this can be to clean up a guy that has zero clue how to look presentable, this woman would shun anything remotely fashionable that isnt fitting to an extremely narrow idea of menswear. No room for experimentation.
Cafe Racer Jackets are cool Ashley! I also disagree that larger dudes should not wear Chelsea boots. I get compliment on both of these items a lot. However, you are the master, and I remain teachable and am listening. Other than that, I agree. Thanks for all the good tips! You have an amazing talent!
You're right, cafe racers are cool! if you scroll up, you'll see my commend about them. They fit well are sleek and I would consider a brown or black leather jacket to be a staple items for a man's closet.
In general, I agree BUT for two points - there is nothing wrong with a sleeveless vest if its fitted well. And the racer leather jackets are classy too, as long as they fit correctly. This fashioner does not get men's leather jackets and sleeveless vests. "Women hate" is a broad term - my wife loves my sleeveless vest and my 2 leather jackets. In fact she picked them for me. So much for "women hate".
The only item on your list that I disagree with is the vest. You can get slim fitting vests from brands like Puma and pair it with a ribbed full zip sweater that maintains a sleek aesthetic. I would also suggest that camouflage patterns on numerous items worn at the same time should end. I have always viewed camouflage for men is analogous to animal print for women, where a little is a lot and should be worn sparingly.
What dressy sport sneakers would you you suggest for an older gentle to wear, at 57 I don't know if i can pull off the jordons' like I once could. I want to elevate my sporty casual look. A leather sneaker or something like the Puma super liga. One last note for the guys. Find a tailor in your area. Get slacks and jeans fitted to the waist and the length. Get jackets and shirt tailored to your body. You will be surprised how much you will like your wardrobe when it fits you. I'm a bigger guy, and it has made a difference, plus honestly the process of getting measured for a correct fit, makes me feel more confident.
I have some black pumas supers with clean white laces that I wear sparingly for casual outings where I don’t have to walk much. Get many compliments on them.
1. If you know how to cut your own hair, why not? Go for it. 2. I wear white socks and slides to the gym before switching to my Olumpic weightlifting shoes. And I tuck my compression tights, which keeps the family jewels in their place, in them. 3. Yeah, I don't like Apple watches either. 4. The whole thing about wearing tights under a sleeveless vest is weird to me, too, unless the tights are soem sort of thermal wear I've seen my hunter friends use. 5. It's not like I have an issue with work wear, I have an issue with people who don't work in work wear. 6. I bet you wouldn't dare tell Harry Styles he's unstylish for wearing flared pants. 7. I can agree that flip flops should only be worn in the gym shower and near a body of water. 8. I like my graphic tees, but it should fit properly, unlike the elongated tees you mentioned. 9. The right Cafe racer leather jacket is dope. 10. Jorts are weird, and the only distressing I like on jeans is natural distressing. And I don't mean DIY "natural" distressing. 11. Didn't know tying a plaid shirt around your waist is a thing.
I was gearing up to really hate this video.....but I agreed with every single one of these points! Sincerely, a middle aged bloke / fashion designer of 25 years.
I’ve had a Schott 641 for years and I’ll have it forever. I think wearing a cafe racer is all about personal style and what you feel comfortable in, just like with any piece of clothing. I respect the opinion in this video, but I don’t agree with it. I turned 40 last year and the way I wear my jacket has changed over time.

Skinny fit is supposed to be like skin-tight, hence the word "skinny". Slim fit is just a little less roomier than regular or straight fit jeans.

20 ways men's lives are less complicated when they stop caring about what women hate.
This video made me want to invent the reverse Ashley Uno style: crocs with socks, cargo jeans shorts, vintage print T-Shirt, sport sunglasses and a mullet
I will need a stick to swatch all the girls away from me!
Why does that sound like a pretty cool look
That fit would go crazy too 😭
😂😆😆😂😅
Good one! You might be going beyond the pale with this look.
Hilarious
Bro described an Australian
@@corentin8634 🤣 You are NOT wrong. This woman just hates Australians.
the day I dress for the approval of others is the day I lose my dignity as a person
Hha
Yep
As a single guy in my 40s who wears cafe racer leather jackets fairly often, I can assure you 99% of 'worthy' women love the look, when it's well-fitting and accompanied by a confident personality. I'm almost certain Ashley doesn't rate them because most of us guys who do wear them (yes, I do have a couple of bikes) would never approach someone like her because we are just not interested, we don't really like picky princesses, we like actual women, real women not those who got stuck in their 'fashion red-flags tick-box list' perspective of men they jotted down in their 20s.
@Lava I mostly agree with her too, that's why I watch her videos but she's got it wrong when it comes to this :)
@@samsantana Most leather jackets look a bit crap on most people tbh. Not just cafe racer jackets. That's the harsh reality.
@@sammyb1651 most people are unfit and lack confidence, the rest of us can carry them quite well and stand out in a good way.
@@RPGmario64 if unsuitability to task was to determine what looks tacky, then nobody should ever wear underwear, the reason for it's existence is based on old ways of people wearing the same garment, pants for example, several days in a row and underwear would be changed daily to avoid stains or accidents from ruining the garment... I trust most people nowadays wear different things each and everyday so underwear is really not necessary. Point is, people should wear what they want and makes them feel comfortable and more importantly confident in who they are, that is far more attractive than a shy "well dressed" man.
@@samsantana Physique is a definite factor. Confidence I'm not so sure. I see plenty of confident people looking ridiculous in them. It's to do with the material itself at the end of the day. Leather is very, VERY difficult to get right. It makes bad detailing all the more conspicuous and moreover, most patinas are frankly awful.
I'd say about 1 in 50 leather jackets look genuinely good. Not great odds.
Suede is generally a better bet.
Carhartts are for function, but even they can look great when sized correctly, its COLD here in MT and im in a medium black detroit jacket, fits great, looks great, WORKS GREAT!
@OperationMidnight I think her target audience is urban men. She has great advice but misses the mark with blue collar/western fashion.
Detroit jacket is a classic jacket. It will never go out of style.
I think the leather jackets are still good, at least in solid colors.
Have a schott jacket "storm" in a heavy brown waxed leather and honestly I love it.
cafe racer jacket are best for those who have good proportion body size....... Ashley mentoring like a mom rather than mentoring like a stylist
I think those jackets are tacky personally, but I don’t think she’s a stylist whatsoever, all of her advice seems to just clean mean up from sloppy habits and discourage any experimentation or dressing outside of the mundane.
Which I think a lot of guys could honestly use the advice, so this channel is genuinely very useful, but I think she should recognize that her views of fashion are restrictive and don’t leave much room for discovery.
The fact that she made a point to say it’s 2023 go get your hair cut but failed to reinforce the fact that it’s 2023 and smart watches are the norm and not going anywhere
They are pretty mainstream, but a nice swiss mechanical watch will 100% make you look better.
@@yaakovhassoun8965 I understand that I love the OG watch brands. However just like driving a classic car around having a classic watch isn’t normal. It’s very much niche. Smart watches are everyday watches and if you do have a classic watch like myself, you normally wear it for special occasions or work if applicable. Nowadays, it’s all about utility. 300 for a classic watch isn’t the same value as 300 for a smartwatch.
Go and get your hair cut on the way to your yoga class... & then, only maybe.
Sat here watching this while wearing white socks, lots of jewellery, oversized graphic tee, smart watch and Carhartt hat like 🤨
Speaking of gender equality, imagine a man criticising women’s outfits like that 😂 he’d be cancelled by now
Happens all the time 🙄
I agree
"he’d be cancelled by now
"
Or not.
Sad but true.
@teoleno4019 and what happens when men do it in this climate? They would be called exist etc...
Agree with most everything except for the work wear. You even said it's overly masculine. which is all the more reason for men to wear it.
Yeah, god forbid a man looks masculine
The added bonus of workwear (if you do happen to be into it) is the fact that it tends to be made of better quality fabrics than the vast majority of fashion out there.
@@sammyb1651 good point
It's not overly masculine where I'm from. Heaps of women wear it, tonnes of dudes with pink hair and nails rock it too. I think Ashley is just classist and doesn't that some people look like they might have to use their hands for something that doesn't involve a computer.
I don’t agree the leather racing style jackets being out of style. It’s a classic that will never go out of style. I love ‘em!
I wore a retro patagonia down vest over a red/black flannel and got a smile at the store from a beautiful woman. 😂
Real recognizes real. She notice your swagger 💯
Leave my leather jacket alone. Yes I know I'm too old. Yes I know people think I'm pretending to be a bad boy biker (I usually don't wear leather jackets on my bike). But I love it and I'm keeping it.
Half way through and, NO SURPRISE, ,YOU'RE WRONG AGAIN!!!! Flared pants also DOMINATED the men's runways for Spring and Summer 2023, from Dolce and Gabana to Rick Owens, to Balenciaga, to Moschino, and many others.
She’s obviously not referring to runway fashion which rarely looks appropriate on the masses.
Why would I want to compare to run way fashion?
@@semzip8558 all style trends are derived from these fashion weeks/companies and get recycled every few years
@@jaboi2133 No they're not. Most people don't care about that stuff. Sheesh.
This can be summed up with "just dress plain"
I used to despise that Carhartt worker jacket, and sure enough, 5 years later I love it and just ordered a thick black one 😃
I don't like the giant logo, but they seem like high quality rugged clothing. I would give Carhartt a pass as well.
I like the simple clean lines of the similar Eisenhower jacket by Dickies.
CALLING ALL MEN!
*WEAR WHAT YOU WANT, WEAR WHATEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IN!*
Idiotic statement. I clearly watched this video to hear about someone else’s perspective. I don’t need you to tell me anything clown 🫵🤡
Much here to agree with, but a couple points I take issue with. First is workwear - utilitarian garb when out hiking, doing work on the ranch, or out in the woods, is a must. It's functional and durable, qualities that win out under those circumstances. The second is the vest -- puffer vests are great during transitional weather, and also when out hiking or on expeditions, where you need some body warmth, but where exertion rules out a full coat.
Five seconds in and I bet I had the same thought most dudes had: So glad I’m not married to this woman.
Yeah I paused it a minute in to reflect that I am glad that I have a career and don't have to resort to making videos about how clueless I am about the other sex.
She's really pushing the boundaries with the workwear stuff she's gonna get ratio so hard
I didn't expect to feel so attacked on this fine morning but here we are 😂
😂😆😆😂😂😅 No cap.
I agree with a lot of what she says, but a few things make me want to ask,
"Am I under surveillance?"
So many things I don’t agree, like the vests, the boots, the leather jacket. Maybe some people don’t live for trends and just live wearing whatever you feel comfortable with. Here in Shanghai the “trend” is so many things she consider “bad”. And here in Asia you actually see crazy stuff lol
I'm assuming you're a foreigner living in Shanghai? How is it? Feel free to be frank and honest.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou i am. You see everything, and many of those things are things the fashion RUclipsrs consider “wrong” or “bad” which is funny because Asia is the number 1 place for trends hahah
I have to disagree about throwing away white socks. I'm not saying to wear them, as they are not a great fashion choice. However, socks are the number one item needed at homeless shelters and similar places. Donate those socks!
As far as the Carhardt items, I have a few, but I tend to wear them as rugged outdoor attire, not fashion apparel.
If white socks are something the poor use to keep their feet warm, it makes you wonder if we should be shaming people for wearing them...
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou are you just a full time Troll? Get a life and donate your white socks.
I think the point was get rid of them. Donate, ball warmers, whatever.
@@FractalSoul1111 It's not "trolling" to suggest we should refrain from mocking people for how they dress, since wealth plays a big role in how well someone is able to dress. If you can't wrap your head around that, you've got a lot to learn.
Agree with most except the workwear take. I think it makes so much sense to include workwear into your casual street wear. It’s built to last and built to be functional. A sun faded slightly worn carhartt jacket is such an awesome look that will never go out of style
I like my boot cut jeans, work jackets, work boots, cafe racer jackets, flannel shirts, vests, and graphic tshirts... but I agree that skin tight jeans and big purposeful holes in jeans look rediculus
Flannel shirts will always look good
This is one of the pages that benefited GREATLY when RUclips hid dislikes!
I found this video better to rename "nothing wrong with what you wear and don't dress for women's liking "
No woman will ever take my oversized bball shorts from me
I love how you started the video straight to the point without any unnecessary short talk in the beginning!
Yes. With so many RUclipsrs, I always have to skip the first couple minutes, and it's annoying.
0:15 distressed jeans are bad!
0:47 look at this stylish guy with distressed jeans!
It's funny how everything she hates is the ones you see from the lasted, trendiest fashion scenes.
The point is that she has a very stereotyped way to think about clothing. She is frozen in the '90s, but in the american nineties. She understand about male fashion as much as i understand about quantum physics
I'll admit to wearing a plaid shirt around my waist to a Guns n' Roses concert in December. I also bought a graphic band t-shirt
@@giuseppenativo2123 she belonges to the Denver Clan.
@@giuseppenativo2123 well said
The industry can’t grow when everyone is already clothed. They can only grow by creating a trend that you buy now, only to trash it a year later, to buy the next junk.
Note to self, never take any advice from the internet, it sucks.
I think white sneakers is the versatile accesory that suits with everyone and it's a game changer
This woman is the definition of mid, wants all men to look mid, fashion is the complete opposite of what this middle aged woman is talking about, it’s about expressing yourself but instead you want everybody to dress like a minimalistic 50 year old
I may be 60 but no way am I giving up my biker jackets. I wear them on my Motorcycle. And no I am not going through a midlife crisis’. I have owned and ridden them for going through London and pleasure since my 20s
Don’t OG this is for the lost ppl
@@juru6887 get proper training. Wear the right gear and never ever show off on it
I've worn a leather jacket for over 20 years.
It's the most practical jacket I can think of. Warm in the winter. Not extra warm in the fall or spring. Good in snow or rain.
Best all around jacket IMHO
Are there any major videos on RUclips where a man talks about girls fashion trends that look bad?
Carhartt was never designed to be a “fashion trend.” It’s heavyweight, durable clothing, designed to be worn by hard working men (and, to an extent) women. They also make well-insulating jackets that few to no one in California have any practical use for. Those of us who have always worn it for its intended use will continue to do so long after the hipsters move on to their next cringe move.
So carhartt has a offshoot called WIP, they made it to be long lasting fashion you can have for years
For any guys with athletic legs meaning small waist thick thighs that make slim fit look like skinny fit. There's a brand called Bonobos thats make athletic cut jeans with more room in the the thighs and tapers at the knee for a fitted look. A little pricey but worth it!
Why do I care what women think about my style? Don’t I do it for me? Be true to yourself. Real always attracts real.
I live in the Deep South and unfortunately, you just described 99% of the men along the gulf coast. Equally as unfortunate, is the women are just as fashion challenged. It’s a fashionistas worst nightmare. Their idea of layering is socks with sandals/flops. It’s beyond cringe worthy. Pray for them.
They're comfortable and clearly don't mind it, while it's clearly bothering you. Maybe we should pray for you instead?
You should enlighten folk and recommend Ashley's channel
You cant be a real person
😂
So you’re telling me that I grew up on Metallica but I can’t wear a Metallica shirt cause I’m older, but some kid that never even heard the band can wear there T-shirt? Doesn’t seem right.
As usual, the one thing I just can't get behind is Ashley's hatred of the Cafe Racer Leather Jacket (I've got them in both Black Lambskin and Brown Nubuck).
I'd get it if she were talking about guys walking around in legitimate Biker/Motorcycle Jackets whose thickness are meant more for function than form/fashion.
I'd definitely get it if she was talking about the Brando/WIld Ones-style Moto Jacket because it's a specific style that very few can pull off.
But her hatred for the Cafe Racer has never made sense to me, and she never explains it - she just dismisses it as an option and then moves on (surprisingly not this time to spending 5 minutes gushing over Leather Bomber Jackets).
yea I have watched a few of her videos and by far that's one thing I can't get behind lol. It's the most simple leather jacket that can be dressed down or up, and most men can pull off compared to let's say.. a rough biker jacket, it is very versatile and gives you more options than let's say a brown suede bomber jacket.
I love wearing my lambskin black leather jacket with a nice white oxford, a tie, some black denims & black chelsea boots, just like I like just slapping it on a black casual fit to go to the store. A bit juvenile but as a 24 year old dude I think it switches things up sometimes, since typically people see me in chinos, polos, oil jackets & windbreakers.... so I always get compliments from people that see my everyday uniforms.
I think her videos are just aimed towards the older crowd, and she really believes men older than like 35 shouldn't be using leather jackets, seems to be more of a biased preference of hers, which when one thinks about it-> it makes sense.. generally speaking most men with dad bods in their 40s don't look great with leather jackets anymore, so she just generalizes her advice of the jacket & hands it out to all of us equally, rather than advising that they can look great depending on your body type, and that they can look great on slim mid age men and younger men or whatever she really feels.
Yep. I'm with you too. Cafe leather jackets can be very stylish when kept simple and without the "biker" stripes etc.
I agree 100%.
100% correct. I own a brown cafe racer jacket and people love it - gets compliments all the time. Also in one of the pictures of an example of a stylish man (at the 8 sec mark) she showed in this video, he was wearing a cafe racer jacket haha, and looked good!!!
@@galacticgorillaaah She doesn’t edit these videos or chooses the pictures shown.
workwear is timeless
I agree.
C'est vrai.
What I love the most about these videos is that I've likely committed roughly 50% of these fashion faux pas and I still couldn't give less of a sh*t. Do you, be yourself, and (most importantly) be happy. Don't fall victim to one person's opinion. As you were.
"...stupid Nike or Adidas slides". Couldn't have described them better 😆
Gonna hafta agree
Only one I don’t agree with is the vest. Well kinda. There are some really nice slim ones. The puffier the worse.
I appreciate how you got right to it and held nothing back. Great content.
The worst men's fashion trend is men wearing women's hand bags.
only 2 disagreements:
1. the jacket at 7:03 - it could be a bit less shiny but there's nothing wrong to warrant the dislike
2. smart watch - sorry, I do absolutely love Tissot traditional wrist watches for the look and value for money, but one must be living in 2010 if they dislike smart watches that much.
Basically stop doing whatever you did in 2022 and make the fashion enterprises richer
Imagine if a man made this video about women’s fashion.
Wear what you feel good in. I believe in timeless designs that doesnt go out of style. Following trends fades away. Be who you are and dont listen to her either.
Sorry, but I'm not giving up my puffer vests. I live in the Canadian prairies where it can get to minus 45 degrees in January and February. It's about function as well as style for me...
So why don’t you just wear a an actual puffer jacket???
Most of this list is fine besides the leather jacket. I get complimented on mine all the time, people really love them. Also white socks can be done right, but people seem to wear them wrong a lot of the time.
White socks are almost essential if you are wearing a white shoe
I feel as tho this video doesn't allow a person to explore their own personal style and should therefore go straight to Banana Republic. However, Ashley does bring up some good points. But at the end of the day fashion / style is a personal journey.
I sort of disagree with the point about T shirts. While it don't think an extremely oversized T shirt will look good, I don't think the ideal ending point for a T shirt is the belt line.
I think it looks much better fitting to tuck the shirt so that it ends where the pants begin. Thereby, the proportions look much better as it applies to the rule of thirds and the golden ratio (1/3 your shirt, 2/3 your pants).
Also, if you have an unbuttoned flannel shirt, a tucked in T shirt looks fine
I'm really enjoying this woman just reading straight men for 20 minutes. Lol
Women like you are the reason I started liking men
Disagree with racer jacket and timberland boots! They’re awesome! Also disagree with puffer vest. It’s very useful clothes.
Rename this video: How to dress boring/safe in 2013
I can’t imagine being this sad. I’m sad, but I don’t externalize it. I can’t imagine being this externally sad.
I don’t agree with the white socks hate. I believe they can look clean and well put together. They go great with any sneaker color. Black socks and white or blue sneakers a huge no for me. And crocs like flip flops, at the right place and time are okay.
As useful as pages like this can be to clean up a guy that has zero clue how to look presentable, this woman would shun anything remotely fashionable that isnt fitting to an extremely narrow idea of menswear. No room for experimentation.
@@2000Doriyas right? It gives you a 100% white canvas.
Carhartt and Dickies pants, oversized clothes, Caterpillar and Timberland boots
Don't forget Red Wing boots.
Flip flops for me are ok if you live in a tropical country, not just near a body of water. And definitely clean and clipped toenails.
DRESS HOW YOU WANT BOYS
Cafe Racer Jackets are cool Ashley! I also disagree that larger dudes should not wear Chelsea boots. I get compliment on both of these items a lot. However, you are the master, and I remain teachable and am listening. Other than that, I agree. Thanks for all the good tips! You have an amazing talent!
I am with you on that. Ashley has been against not just cafe racers but most leather jackets. That's one piece of clothing I do not agree with her on.
Racer jackets are cool , IF you‘re young AND tall AND not overweight 👍🏻
Unfortunately 50% are overweight, 36% obese…
You're right, cafe racers are cool! if you scroll up, you'll see my commend about them. They fit well are sleek and I would consider a brown or black leather jacket to be a staple items for a man's closet.
I personally love this style. Have two myself and think I pull them off. I’m 44 but have a tall slim build.
@@scrappymark In all fairness though, on tall and slim people, just about everything looks good.
In general, I agree BUT for two points - there is nothing wrong with a sleeveless vest if its fitted well. And the racer leather jackets are classy too, as long as they fit correctly. This fashioner does not get men's leather jackets and sleeveless vests. "Women hate" is a broad term - my wife loves my sleeveless vest and my 2 leather jackets. In fact she picked them for me. So much for "women hate".
The only item on your list that I disagree with is the vest. You can get slim fitting vests from brands like Puma and pair it with a ribbed full zip sweater that maintains a sleek aesthetic. I would also suggest that camouflage patterns on numerous items worn at the same time should end. I have always viewed camouflage for men is analogous to animal print for women, where a little is a lot and should be worn sparingly.
It's weird that she thinks any self respecting person would care what she thinks.
Bro this girl really said wearing any type of shorts 🩳 is a no-no. 🤡
We wearing workwear, racer jackets, big tees, and shorts all 2023 🎉🎉🎉
What dressy sport sneakers would you you suggest for an older gentle to wear, at 57 I don't know if i can pull off the jordons' like I once could. I want to elevate my sporty casual look. A leather sneaker or something like the Puma super liga. One last note for the guys. Find a tailor in your area. Get slacks and jeans fitted to the waist and the length. Get jackets and shirt tailored to your body. You will be surprised how much you will like your wardrobe when it fits you. I'm a bigger guy, and it has made a difference, plus honestly the process of getting measured for a correct fit, makes me feel more confident.
I have some black pumas supers with clean white laces that I wear sparingly for casual outings where I don’t have to walk much. Get many compliments on them.
I'm going to disobey every one of these rules as a matter of principle.
1. If you know how to cut your own hair, why not? Go for it.
2. I wear white socks and slides to the gym before switching to my Olumpic weightlifting shoes. And I tuck my compression tights, which keeps the family jewels in their place, in them.
3. Yeah, I don't like Apple watches either.
4. The whole thing about wearing tights under a sleeveless vest is weird to me, too, unless the tights are soem sort of thermal wear I've seen my hunter friends use.
5. It's not like I have an issue with work wear, I have an issue with people who don't work in work wear.
6. I bet you wouldn't dare tell Harry Styles he's unstylish for wearing flared pants.
7. I can agree that flip flops should only be worn in the gym shower and near a body of water.
8. I like my graphic tees, but it should fit properly, unlike the elongated tees you mentioned.
9. The right Cafe racer leather jacket is dope.
10. Jorts are weird, and the only distressing I like on jeans is natural distressing. And I don't mean DIY "natural" distressing.
11. Didn't know tying a plaid shirt around your waist is a thing.
I was gearing up to really hate this video.....but I agreed with every single one of these points! Sincerely, a middle aged bloke / fashion designer of 25 years.
I wore a leather jacket and got tons of compliments from girls. Ashley yet again fails to understand men's fashion 🤷🏾♂️
haters gonna hate, In baggy jeans I'm gonna skate
Yessirr I be skating too, love my baggy jeans
I’ve had a Schott 641 for years and I’ll have it forever. I think wearing a cafe racer is all about personal style and what you feel comfortable in, just like with any piece of clothing. I respect the opinion in this video, but I don’t agree with it. I turned 40 last year and the way I wear my jacket has changed over time.
Schott. Excellent choice!
Never thought I could diss like someone so much under 60seconds.
