    Future video suggestions: 1)Dressing down(gentleman style) for chores or errands.
    2)A closet tour of how you organize and store your clothing would be awesome.
    3) Outfit inspirations from different decades, I know it sounds like a gimmicky concept but I think considering you do advocate for buying vintage pieces, it could be a cool video. Thanks :)
    Also: I appreciate all the b-roll, especially new shots, it really ups the quality

    • @20thCenturyManTrad

      For Chores and errands (Being an aspiring blue collar worker), wear buttoned work shirts (Dickies Still sells'em), Jeans (I'm old school jeans are for work) or Khaki Work pants, depending on the work. For dirty work, I recommend coveralls. Shoes I'd recommend work boots or shoes, that can take a little bit of a beating.

I have been waiting for this video for a while now and I am well pleased with it, thank you Preston and Gentleman's Gazette!

    I'm still waiting for the "How to wear and pair Dark Red" AKA Burgundy, Maroon and Wine vid.
    I love dark red colours like that. I already have several items including ties, pocket squares, a waistcoat, a bomber jacket, sweaters, a velvet sports coat, and I even have Oxblood shoes with a matching belt.
    I like to think I wear and pair them just fine. But more ideas to incorporate are always good.

  • @ThunderRazorYT
    @ThunderRazorYT 4 года назад +1

    Great pieces to own and have fun pairing for sure. Gray, blue, and brown get so much rotation because they pair with so much and enable other pieces to be more adventurous. Gray and blue shoes are definitely harder to pull off and may not see as much wear.

    Really interested on what you feel would be appropriate to wear for Church especially here in AZ where it tends to get hot. I know it's not a subject everyone is open to so if you are uncomfortable with the topic there are absolutely no worries as I could just google it on my free time. Although personally during the cooler months I'll go for sweaters, dress shirts, and a few slacks planning on adding a few sport coats later on and maybe someday investing in a linen or fresco suit for the hotter months all the best to you all!

  • @myoldyoutubechannel
    @myoldyoutubechannel 3 года назад +1

    The real key about contrast is to match the contrast in the suit to the contrast of your own face.
    EG. If you've got very dark hair and pale skin, or very dark skin and strikingly pale teeth or eyes, then you're high contrast, so a high contrast outfit isn't going to look harsh on you.
    However, if you've got similarly toned hair, skin and eyes -- low contrast -- then you need a suit/tie/shirt combo that is, similarly, low-contrast with itself -- because vivid colours and high-contrast are going to be too visually 'loud', steal focus and wash you out.

    Can you please help me. I have heard from growing up that a blue suit is 'down market' apparently. and you should wear brown shoes with black/grey/blue etc (only with tweed)?
    So is this out dated I think.

    • @tedstudt8550
      @tedstudt8550 4 года назад

      Personally, I think brown harmonizes best with colors like blue, grey, tan, beige, etc. I personally wouldn't mix brown and black unless, for example, it were a black shoe with light brown details, which makes the black of the shoe a little more casual imho. I know that there are gentlemen who can mix brown and black like you describe and pull it off, but I am not among them. Other than black, it honestly depends on the shade of brown in the shoe and the shade of the suit in question. As long as the shade of the brown shoe is slightly darker than that of the suit, you should be just fine in 99% of cases.

It slows down the pacing a lot and as a viewer I find myself tuning out before a lot of the videos actually get to their core content.
