    I have to say, I really appreciate all the B-roll, illustrations, and photos you guys edit to the videos. It really helps me understand and contextualize all the vocabulary of classical menswear. And, of course, it's visually pleasing and inspiring to see all these well-dressed men and how they express themselves through style.

      By the way, nothing to be worried. Just common sense. Naples is a particular kind of city. Someone likes it, someone else no. You have just to follow the same rules you follow visiting Rio, New York, Paris or other crowded cities where the gap between rich and poor is quite significant.

Being obese I thought of it as a necessity back then. The facility was in downtown Chicago. It’s a marino wool and llama blended shell. A year round weight of course. It is the most common outfit I have. 45 places to measure me on order to got the proper look. They guaranteed no

    why does neapolitan mens style matter?
    The Neapolitan men's style matters for several reasons. Firstly, it represents a rich cultural heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation. The style is deeply rooted in the history and traditions of Naples, and it reflects the city's unique blend of sophistication and understated elegance.
    Secondly, Neapolitan men's style is highly respected and admired in the fashion industry for its quality and craftsmanship. The tailors and artisans of Naples are renowned for their attention to detail and their ability to create bespoke garments that fit perfectly and last a lifetime.
    Finally, Neapolitan men's style matters because it embodies a sense of individuality and self-expression. The style is not about following trends or conforming to a certain look, but rather about expressing one's own personal style in a way that is elegant, refined, and authentic.
    Overall, Neapolitan men's style matters because it represents a unique blend of tradition, quality, and individuality that is highly valued in the world of fashion and beyond.

    As a Brit, here is my take on youth British style (London mainly, 16-mid 20s): sports wear, usually black or grey, scruffy, slobbish, stolen or knocked off North Face/Moncler/Canada Goose jackets, or a Nike jacket, Nike trainers (not that there is anything wrong with having comfortable footwear such as Nike). Older guys are better: jeans with a shirt and jumper, or chinos with shirts and a jumper. I think it is British youth who are letting our nation down (and in sooooo many ways!). However, on the whole there is still a level of British elegance (think Royal men), although we are some way from Italian men.

    Imagine the scene, in Glasgow, an Asian sub-continent owner of an Italian suit shop who obviously favoured the Roma style and in I walk wearing a Neapolitan sprezzatura (it was hot, even in Glasgow - the icicles was melting), the discussion went downhill fairly quickly. Insults were swiftly exchanged with reference to me being dressed like a clown (Punchinello) and him being dressed as a gangster (Don Corleone). Needless to say I did not buy anything .... but it was an amusing half hour.

      German - Incredible attention to detail, like pinstripes that match up PERFECTLY at seams, etc... A bit drapier than the English style.
      Eastern European - well made and sturdy, heavier cloth. Boxier than the English and German style.

    ChatGPT response to "What is neapolitan mens style"
    Neapolitan men's style refers to the traditional way of dressing among men in Naples, a city in southern Italy. The style is characterized by its relaxed and unstructured approach to tailoring, with a focus on comfort and natural materials.
    Some key elements of Neapolitan men's style include:
    Soft, unstructured jackets: The jackets are typically made from lightweight fabrics and feature minimal padding, resulting in a more relaxed and comfortable fit.
    High armholes: The armholes on Neapolitan jackets are typically cut higher than on traditional suits, allowing for greater range of motion and a more natural look.
    Wide lapels: Neapolitan jackets often feature wide lapels, which help to balance out the relaxed silhouette of the jacket.
    Tapered trousers: Neapolitan trousers are typically tapered and feature a high waist, creating a streamlined silhouette that complements the jacket.
    Bold colors and patterns: Neapolitan men's style often incorporates bold colors and patterns, including checks, stripes, and florals.
    Handcrafted details: Neapolitan tailoring places a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and attention to detail, with many garments featuring hand-stitched buttonholes and other fine finishing touches.
    Overall, Neapolitan men's style is characterized by its relaxed, comfortable approach to tailoring, its emphasis on natural materials and handcrafted details, and its use of bold colors and patterns.

    I have to admit that I'm not a fan of the (modern version) Neopolitan style...
    I DO like the "Devil may care" aspect of style, ala Gary Cooper... But this particular Italian style falls just short of sloppy to me.
    The lines of the clothing are too "soft" for my taste and I'd never be caught dead without wearing socks, so to me, wearing those "footie things" is only inches away from going sockless.
    Of course, to each their own.

But Rome and Milan are definitely the city with most suited up men. Rome has the majority of lawyers and all the politicians. Milan has the most businessman and high end jobs.

    PLEASE turn down the volume of the intro song. I’m 23 years old btw I’m not just complaining about anything and everything that’s too loud. The intro song is just 5x louder than the rest of the video and I always have to turn it down during the song

    Like somehow you chose the least visual pleasing people for the thumbnail it bothers me so much i cannot watch the video like why would a youtube channel about style show such unstylish people in the thumbnail like a thumbnail is sussposed to say so much its the first line of marketing on a video. Its a make or break and this case it was a bust

    Fur coats when it's unnecessary for the climate. These guys are dedicated to style
