I really liked the differentiation between levels of formality within business casual so thanks for pointing that out. I really enjoy the refinement or more formal options like black oxfords, spread colors, etc. but without going full formal.
While I like the look of leather Chelsea boots when new, when in leather (vs Suede) they are prone to developing large rolls which I think ruins the look. I think Chukkas are a better choice. Plain derbies can be a safe choice if a bit boring. Hatch grain in various shoe types derbies, brogues, or chukkas can be a choice as well - Crocket and Jones has some nice examples but they are pricey so check TLB Malorca. I dont see Monk straps much at all here in the USA but maybe they are.
That's a great point on Chelsea boots, actually. Thank you. I have the hatch grain Norwegian split toe derbies by TLB Mallorca high up on my shopping list. Are you happy with their shoes?
lukas, really interested in knowing about ur fragrance collection - if u can't do a video almost immediately, could you please list your favourite frags here?
Thank you for the suggestion. I have to admit that I'm not very knowledgeable on fragrances, yet, so I wouldn't feel confident making a video on the topic for now.
I really like previous thumbnail because that made you look different but this one is more targeted to video so it would be beneficial for video, btw i really need some classic boots if it weren't for still 43°C😂
Thank you, Sarmad :) RUclips let's me test 3 thumbnails so I'm not sure which one you saw in the end 😅 I know what you mean 😅 Even light suede chukka boots would be too hot in that case
I agree with all points made. When the dress sneaker first arrived on the scene, to me, they were a distraction when worn with suits. Some can pull this look off with some casual outfits. Also, I do not care for the look of thick rubber soles on dress shoes and boots.
It depends on what someone's job is. Someone who is on their feet 10-12 hours a day might want a rubber non skid sole. Sometimes formality needs to take a back seat to basic funxtionality and comfort.
@@ahoneyman Maybe I should have been more specific; I meant to say the soles that are an inch or more in thickness and have tread that can take you up a mountain side in a forest. I have shoes with rubber soles that are very comfortable, but are still dressy and classy looking.
@@arthurcatalanotto1151 Where I live the winter brings a lot of snow and ice. The Dianite soles try in the slush. The Dianite is overmatched. When it comes to winter wear whatever keeps you from taking a header on the sidewalk.
Bro just upload as much short as you can like parker york smith with good short thumbnails your short thumbnails are not good RUclips and other media platforms too are pushing short content so your channel will get boost like parker york smith his channel worked when he started upload shorts with outfits and tips on dressing
In warehouse settings, usually the older machinist journeyman guys wear button shirts [often short sleeve] and chino pants [often pleated, even] and leave the jeans to the younger labor guys and the outdoor labor guys like construction workers. Usually these places mostly have dress code that doesn't allow tank tops but will allow t-shirts. Usually there are few office workers who enter the warehouse space and interact with the wh staff. Call Center employees, who don't interact with the public much, seem to be allowed jeans and t-shirts and sneakers pretty often, but these are usually hourly employees and still considered Entry Level jobs and the company may vary on its dress policy.
I still think "dress" sneakers are the ultimate result of vague terms LIKE Office Casual, so they're still a step up from many types of sneakers that belong only in classrooms or on athletic fields and such. Do I think most of them look Meh? Yes, but some are nicer than others if you don't invest in proper shoes because you know you're only wearing them to some occasions instead of daily, like traffic court or a casual wedding reception. ??
Younger guys can wear this kind of thing on a date, maybe, because she expects you to look nice but knows you're a student or work in a Call Center or something. ???
These days, loafers are considered "dress" shoes by guys who don't own any actual dress shoes, too. I don't like the loafers look as much as the derby style. I would also prefer the monk strap.
Dress sneakers aka Frankenshoes are stupid. A perfect example of a trendy fashion cliche. Face it, shoes convey an important message. The Frankenshoes message is "Hi, I'm a rookie and don't these shoes look stupid." Crocs are a much better choice 😜 Cheers

Putting the "civil" back in civilization. Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
I usually wear business casual when I'm not at work. It's better to be overdressed than not in my opinion.
I agree, always a good choice to be a slightly overdressed.

Chelsea boots work in almost all settings, and can be dressed up or down.
I agree. Thanks for watching, Ben.
Hi, I have a question. Do you have a video where you explain how to combine colors? It would really help.
Thanks for watching.
Yes, I do actually :)
You can find it in my longer videos on the channel.

A fine leather Blucher beats your options (Alden, Viberg). For Boots Id go with Grant Stone Diesel boots in Cordovan.
Great choices 👌

I wear Chelsea boots with suits. I wear penny loafers with chinos and a blazer.
Great choice :) Chelsea boots can very classy
I love plain derbys most
Which color generally?
@@Lukas_Schanderl black. especially with navy clothes. I know some people (redditors lol) dont like black shoes but I love it looks on people
Hm was not aware of the horsebit loafer beeing too casual. In German work Environment it could make the cut I guess.
I agree, Felix.
Especially in Berlin, it's easy to dress better than others (in my experience).
Suede split toes and loafers... i like suede because its casual.
I agree, Andy. They are my go-to choice, as well.
All my shoes collection is from trift store. Raphael from GG have trift store shoes too😂
80% of mine, as well :)
Some people think it's gross but nothing a good shoe cleaning and disinfectant can't fix.
how about belgian loafers?
I think they are great shoes, but they may be a bit too slim/casual for business casual, but I'm not 100% certain.
RM Williams sind ausgezeichnete Stiefel. Carmina ist auch sehr gut.
Das habe ich auch schon öfters gehört.
Hast du Erfahrungen mit TLB Mallorca gemacht?
Loafers and uhhhhh whats the name
Of course in dark brown maybe black
I agree
Actually Lukas, the horsebit loafer is the most formal out of all loafers.
Thanks for letting me know. I always thought they were a bit more on the casual end.

You're also better off not wearing jeans even if it's allowed.

Usually these places mostly have dress code that doesn't allow tank tops but will allow t-shirts. Usually there are few office workers who enter the warehouse space and interact with the wh staff.

Jeans more properly go with boots in most situations.

Dress sneakers - hideous :-)
Sorry, but the most boring and ugly colors for mens shoes are dark brown and burgundy.
