11 Bad Men's Style "Rules" to Ignore
01:35 1. Wear A Suit And Look Fantastic
While this piece of advice does advocate for dressing up which of course we support, it's a little bit too simplistic in nature. Fit is the most important factor when wearing any outfit.
02:16 2. More Clothes, The Better / If It’s On Sale, Buy It
Here's the thing about these two related pieces of advice. Ultimately, quantity does not equal quality.
03:30 3. Expensive = High Quality / Buy Only Name Brand Items
Just because something is very expensive or has a brand name associated with it doesn't necessarily mean that it's high quality.
04:22 4. Follow The Current Trends
It's never a bad thing to want to upgrade your personal style unless you're just doing it for superficial reasons or to fish for compliments. If you go out and buy a bunch of items of clothing that are trendy at the moment chances are that they're probably going to be out of fashion in a year or maybe even less time.
05:12 5. Outfits Should Match / Black And Brown Don’t Go Together
People often advocate for a monochromatic look because it's a relatively safe way of looking put together after all you won't have any wildly clashing colors if you're wearing all the same color. Similarly, people say that black and brown are two fundamentally different in terms of formality to be paired together. Both of these tips require a bit more nuance to be helpful.
06:53 6. Advice On Fit
The bottom line with any advice in terms of fit is this, properly fitted garments are ones that are proportional to your individual frame and thus that flatter you well.
08:08 7. Old Chestnuts About What Not To Wear
Like no wearing white after Labor Day, no wearing white before Memorial Day or no Brown in town. All of these supposed rules are entirely antiquated today.
09:19 8. Trousers With Belt Loops Needs A Belt
This tip comes from the fact that above all, most men's clothing really is rooted in purpose and utility. Belt loops are another similarly utilitarian feature.
10:44 9. Leather And Metals Must Match
This guideline is designed to help men who are just starting out with the principles of classic style to assemble outfits that are more harmonious. And while it's never going to look bad if you match the metals or the leathers in your outfit you can also be tasteful about bending this rule.
12:04 10. Always Match Your Socks To Your Pants Or Shoes
While these two fundamental rules are true and sound, that doesn't mean that you always have to feel like your socks should match your pants directly.
13:21 11. Follow The Advice Of Your Favourite Style Site
Obviously, we here at the Gentleman's Gazette think that we're providing the best advice possible to all men who are looking to upgrade their style. And while we do hope that you'll follow the guidelines we put out. Keep in mind that they are just that guidelines. If you want to experiment to some extent to find your own personal style and expression, go ahead and do so!

I don’t understand all the negative comments on Preston as a presenter. I think he does a great job, not just a great job for his age, but a great job. Period.
I Like the new guy more than Sven, thats why I came back. Sorry Sven
Well that’s one opinion...
I mean honestly I don't care much about little quirks or looks they have. They both look amazing almost all the time, and the information they have is incredibly valuable.
He's not bad, but he does, uhm, look like an evil corporate executive from a dystopian sci fi movie...
Its also fine to have a slimmer man on the channel, I cab realy place myself in him... 👌🏼
Preston, as an instructor with 25 years of experience, I give you an A+ on your presentation. The content was organized and clear, your diction, likewise. The length of the video was appropriate for the topic as well. Adding the links to other videos was helpful. Well done!
To everyone pointing out Sven is better:
A: duh, Preston's "new" (been here for months actually) so give him a break,
B: be grateful GG is now able to put out professional video content more often,
C: do the Gentlemanly thing and provide constructive criticism if you actually want Preston to improve.
If you can't do any of these things you really don't belong here.
You're spot on. Above all "C" is correct: it's just not cricket. You can't reconcile the two terms "gentleman" and "troll".
Please stop comparing. Both teachers offer wonderful style that resonates depending on ones tastes and experiences. Both offer helpful consulting/advising.
@@westlisbon6307 exactly
Comparing is not appreciated. They both have their own style of explaining and speaking, so preferences are completely biased and do not rely on facts or principles
That's exactly what we want: not a you suck, but here is how you can improve specifically.
Preston is the man. Also, to everyone criticizing Preston, just watch some of Sven's older videos. He was much more awkward then and I would say Preston is adapting very quickly. It's hard being on camera!
Don't teach me to dress, teach me to talk. This was a wonderful presentation. The style advice was informative, but, Preston, rarely have I heard the English language spoken so fluently. That alone, pushed me to step up my game. Thank you.
@Trump Won What
Don't worry Preston, while there are a few people who complain about you and want Rafael instead. All of the people who watched the video and didn't comment anything like you. Keep up the good work!
A "silent majority," perhaps? Whatever the case, Ian, thanks for your kind words. Affirmation is always nice, of course, but I welcome constructive criticism as well; it's a constant journey to improve!
- Preston
You're welcome Preston! A "Silent Majority" is an good description. From what I've seen most people who don't have a problem, aren't saying that they don't care.
@@@gentlemansgazette hmm, so I'll be a little less silent then:
You're doing fine. Now I can get away at 1,5 speed without any information getting lost. More GG video's in the same amount of time. GG, GG. (:
Not too sure about the glasses though. They are fine by themselves, but they seem to make your face a quite stern while emphasising statements. Could be the height of the things, but I'm just not sure.
@@gentlemansgazette To be honest, I prefer you over everyone else.
Don't want to be from the silent majority, Preston, you rock!
It is unclear to me why RUclips recommended these videos to me, a female, but I watch them with enjoyment even though I do not always agree with everything said. What I do NOT enjoy, however, is the rudeness of some of the individuals who make comments. Personal attacks are never appropriate and certainly are not gentlemanly. Constructive criticism is one thing, but I have seen some truly brutal personal comments posted after some of the videos and directed at both of the presenters. I do not understand why those posters are on a site intended for gentlemen. Certainly people should feel free to criticize, provided their criticism is intelligent, polite, and constructive; otherwise, they are just trolls.
I enjoy Preston Schlueter's delivery. The speed of his delivery is perfect, not too fast and not too slow, and so is his enunciation. Never do I have an issue understanding anything he says. If some people find his delivery a little stiff or unnatural, I am sure that will cease to be an issue with time; I have noticed improvement just in the few weeks that I have been watching the videos, although I never found him displeasing to begin with. In other words, cut him some slack; sometimes it takes a little while to get comfortable in front of a camera.
It's recommending you the videos because you're it sees you're watching them :)
Rebecca Boothby Yes ma’am, you are SO right. Same for me. It appeared the same way in my recommendations, and I’ve been watching since. Many of these principles can be applied to women’s fashions as well, and it really helps me buy good gifts for the gentlemen in my life. Both presenters are informed, articulate, and enjoyable. Sadly, the same cannot be said for some of the commenters. Keep it classy, gents!
Rebecca
Well said & I agree completely.
Both there style and personality blend quite well, I think it makes for even better content. It's sad to see Ppl constantly arguing back and forth almost everywhere on YT. If it's not nice, it's better not to say anything Imo. In regards to having you apart of the videos now, I really enjoy it having both perspectives and a build size I can finally relate to. Your doing a great job and I wish ya nothing but the best going forward.
Support from Canada
Amen. A woman who started watching to see about textile care. How I love textiles.
if you've ever watched any fashion videos I think that's why they come up on recommends
You speak so well. Excellent accent so clear and pleasing to ears.
True, generally I do not like listening to an American. But his enunciation is top notch.
I like Preston's smiling eyes, he's a gentle young man!
Amazed at the ignorance and rudeness at some of the comments; there are some who just seem to be permanently angry with someone or something else, and rather than deal with that honestly, they make personal remarks about a person they don't know at all. This young man is extremely tall, quite thin, and clearly has a degree of physical disability: that does not make it acceptable to mock him. And anyway, there's nothing to mock - he dresses well; his advice is good; his voice is clear and understandable, which is very useful for those of us with hearing problems - sheer volume is no use to me, for one. Even the worst of comments here aren't as bad as some things you'll find on RUclips - but that doesn't make rudeness, cruelty, and offensiveness any better.
To the one who said 'this guy creeps me out' - well if so, go and watch someone more to your taste. What creeps me out are people who can master a computer keyboard, but can't manage to stop themselves behaving like jerks.
I want a channel called Lady's Gazette! Oh this would be so nice. I'm so geeking out right now with all the colour coordination and harmonies. It runs in my family the obsession of colour/style harmony.
would be amazing to have a ladies channel like this that isn't focused on trends and "ig-style". really would be amazing with some guidance on women tailoring
@@blah914 yeah, even as a man, i think there should definitely be a channel about classic womenswear
This gentlemen's cheekbones are awesome.
Returning to this channel. The new guy is improving! Slower and calm deliveries, keep it up!
Great video! I enjoy bending the rules slightly, when appropriate.
I personally enjoy Preston’s good use of English and his clear annunciation. Too many of us get sloppy with our speech. Kudos, Preston, for NOT! Your facial expressions and gestures soften and liven the presentation nicely. Keep up the good work.
enunciation
All of the presenters of these videos are both knowledgeable and present themselves like polite gentleman. We need more of that in this world.
I'd rather use my Late Grandfather's suit, he was my build and was a sharp dresser. I still wear his wool overcoat from 1952, keeps me warmer than any down parka I could own and looks ten times better. Great video.
There’s just something special about Preston that I like. I feel like he’s the announcer on my favorite radio show, or that teacher whose class I really enjoy.
Preston is nailing it. Great job!
I watch alot of men's channels but the gentleman's gazette is my go to
Thank you! We appreciate the support. :)
Perhaps it's because I'm older (61) but trousers with belt loops and no belt look goofy; like the person didn't finish dressing. I see it fairly often so I suspect it's just me. :-)
You can count me in too.
Totally agree
@@mikew742 I'm half your age and I agree 100%
TovarichSputnik ,start a support group, I’m in!
I agree unless you really pull it off but if there's no belt I feel like something is missing.
Honest suggestion for the cinematography: zoom out.
The presenter has a natural weight shift and uses hand gestures.
This is fine except the frame of the video is cutting him off at the bust.
Thus a relaxed, confident demeanor becomes an odd, un-natural lean with hands hovering at the bottom of the screen.
You have a competent speaker. Play to his strengths.
You guys are the only style guide channel I subbed to. Some of the things you mentioned is what I've thought about before. Also, I've just learned you can use a tie as a belt. Splendid!
I almost cut my eyes looking at that jawline
too bad he is a grandpa larper
@@Pauliminator I suppose you mean he likes to dress up like a grandpa.
But does wearing suits make you a grandpa? Is dressing formally for old people only?
I am 17 and I really like the looks of a well fitting suit.
But go ahead, wear your sweatpants to a wedding ;)
@@pilt6569 ok
insert funny name here yes
@Mata Man people who are insecure say negative comments to vent about something. I would know cuz I do that too
Preston, you are doing just fine, my friend. Glad you are doing what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
Preston, you're such a great host! Thoroughly enjoyed the video, thanks for your dapper presence and excellent presentation. More from you please! :)
Great video Preston! You are a wonderful addition to the GG. I hope you will ignore the complainers who comment. I love the way you speak and truly appreciate your great diction and clear pronunciation. You have great style and it is so encouraging to see a younger man doing it right.
Nicely researched and well presented, good job Preston! 👍
I’ve been a person who likes dressing in suits for over 30 years since I was 18 years old. I find myself agreeing with your videos and even learn new things. I show these video to my kid because videos on table manners was a great way to learn and the video has enough humor to keep my kid entertained as well. Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching more videos.
Really improving Preston. I like the pace changes you have adopted in your speech. Only criticism now is work on enthusiasm in your presentation.
I love coming back and seeing your comfort grow. Great job. Keep up the great work.
Nice to see you again Preston.
One of the things I like about this site (apart from the actual content): the self-irony and the willingness these chaps have to "pull their own leg". At: 13:20
As for following style guides: why I like your site and channel is because you guys provide good rationalisations for your advice; which means that I have room for personal interpretation.
Keep up the good work!
Yeah, I'd love to see more of his videos. I love almost all of gmg videos. You're the man Preston. Cheers!
I think you are doing a great job. I like how clear you speak and your pace of speech.
Don’t listen to the haters Preston. It was a great video!
I enjoy both Preston and Sven. I am very pleased that I subscribed,keep up the excellent work!
In Germany, we call people like Preston "Ehrenmann".
So how I see it, it’s like the Pirate Code
“They’re more like guidelines than rules”
I like Preston. I see people say otherwise, but both Preston and Sven have their own unique delivery and are better suited for different subjects. On-point delivery man! Thank you for the continuous stream of great videos!
Excellent advice, Preston!!! Thanks!
Quality information with in depth suggestions while being upfront. Thank you for the video not a bad way to start next years shopping with tips like these.
Preston, you are incredibly well spoken.
Nice job. Enjoying the different dynamic of your videos Preston. Keep it up!
Perfect presentation. Everyone enjoys the Preston!
Preston, you're doing a great job!
Preston is great... another good video, thank you.
Wonderful episode and advice!
You two are a great help to me! I just wish I had found you sooner than the fall of 2018! Thank you.
Hi! Thank you Preston. You give amazing advice! Ignore all the negative comments and keep educating everyone gentleman watching the videos! 👍🏻
Thanks, Preston!
You are the best in giving style advice!
As always, an excellent video!
I usually match my socks with my tie or shirt, to create a continuity with my attire. You are a great addition to to the channel.
Preston really seems to be getting more comfortable in front of the camera
Great video, always helpful. Nothing ever is forced. Good advice 👍🏻
Thanks Preston 🤟🏼
Preston, you are doing great!!
Preston looks like Marcus Halberstram from the movie "American Psycho". Keep up the good work guys!
I very much enjoyed this video. I think Preston does a nice job, and has been a great addition to the channel
You're great Preston!
Great video as always ❤
Amazing video,thank you.
I always appreciate your Videos particularly, Preston. I am a rather tall man myself, and thus it's easier for me to see myself in one of your outfits as opposed to Sven's. Keep up the great work.
Great presentation! Agree there should only be guidelines and each individual needs to choose his own set for his own time, place, and social circumstances.
I still follow no white after Labor Day to Easter as just going to get muddy in sloppy weather. Plus, ingrained in me and old habits die hard. Even hard to wear bright colours during this time too.
There also is the rule about no more than three colors to be worn at the same time. I find this to be helpful as keeps focused and not look like a clown.
I like Preston.
A very kind and illustrative presentation. Thanks
Wonderful video!
Hello , good video , well and clearly articulated . I understood all words (which is not always easy on you tube) and grasped most of the explanations . I also agree with most of the filosofies behind the dress-instructions , because of their logic . I have learned , good job , Erwin , Belgium .
Hi from Wales. Another informative video.
Great videos to use as a benchmark.
Hearing you speak Preston, is as pleasant to the ears as hearing Sven talk.
Loved the last tip. Time to experiment!
Great tips. Thanks.
The selfrosting part is AWSOME ^^
A great video... lots of good points.
I do want to say that I really like your attitude of "at the end this is you, find what your style is". Far to often I've heard people treat the rules for men's dress like they were brought down from a mountain on stone tablets.
Very well-made video! Look forward for more.
Good job. Will be fun to watch you grow into the role.
Old tie as a belt is an absolute leader tip. Thank you
I like this guy. He's easier to understand.
Preston has a lovely presence. He articulates clearly. He is animated in a pleasant way. Preston is a strong asset. I genuinely appreciate all of his presentations. Those who disagree are sadly incorrect. Thank you Preston!
Preston, you are awesome!
These are cracking videos. I agree with the main point: the inclination of men to follow 'rules' is an expression of how insecure we are about clothes. Well done for using your influence to buck this trend.
This guy did a great job!
I love this video, Preston! The information is clear and well-organized. The cadence and pitch of his voice makes it that much better.
Also, I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but Preston looks like Taron Egerton (Eggsy from Kingsman)... and that’s a MAJOR positive for ladies who enjoy that look... like me :)
He reminds me of Waldo from little rascals
Long live to Sven and Preston ! They brought to me the interest in gentleman dressing
I am absolutely looking forward to the "body type" video because I have found myself wearing the "Olymp No.6 super slim fit" shirts way to frequently. They look really good and by now I almost consider them to be "muffin top proof". Hassle free so to say. That is until I take off my jacket. At that moment I go from razor sharp businessman to upscale nightclub bouncer.
ratzikratzi ,too.
Thank you for sharing.....
Nice job Preston
I'm late to this party. Style is coming later in my life. At 40 years old I am learning. I haven't seen the negative comments, I don't go looking for them. But you, Preston, are an excellent presenter. I am watching as many videos as I can and I have not found one presented by you I have not enjoyed. Thank you for all the information.
Really good, well nuanced video as always! I have to say though, I think black and brown rarely go well together, at least not black pants with brown shoes.
How refreshing to listen to an articulate Young Man who obviously respects the legacy that MUST SURVIVE.
Thanks mate
Very nice video.
Great video... Preston you’re doing great. Can we see some more videos about luxury accessories like watches and pens?
#10 was the best! Appreciate all your guidance and can now chose an appropriate ring and tie a bow tie in less than 10 minutes!
For color harmony it might help to think of color like music. Black and white are your major and minor chords. The colors in between are like musical notes that bridge those two chords together and create harmony. Always use your eyes when matching colors just like you should use your ears when writing music.
Even though I've never heard of these "style rules" from anyone and thus the video is a little silly to me, this channel is by far one of the best classic/elegant menswear youtubes (if anyone has any suggestions for similar content please tag me). Several people mentioned that they prefer Sven to Preston and personally, I can go for either. Maybe in the beginning Preston wasn't as smooth as Sven but now he's doing just fine.
This is Advise is BETTER than Alpha M, Teaching Men's Fashion, Real Men Real Style & Alex Costa
Magnus ronning though....
I don't really like to compare those channels to the Gentleman's Gazette because those channels tend to gear more towards casual style and they have many videos which the youth can actually follow. To make it simpler, I consider the advices of this channel as more advanced and sophisticated compared to the channels you mentioned which I think give simpler and easier tips for men of all ages.
Another thing special about this channel is that the Gentleman's Gazette doesn't endorse random brands for sponsorship. They actually pick sponsors carefully compared to the other channels.
Alpha M yells at you. I don't really like being yelled at for ten straight minutes. If I did I'd just go hang out with my ex girlfriend.
Hello! As for 9th point. Should the leather type match? I'm speaking of smooth leather and suede. If this okay if I wear suede boots and gloves from smooth leaser, and vice versa? Thanks!
Thank you for the great ha ha. where did you learn your style from? skid row? the thrift store special?
Im new and although i dont know this mans name,he does awesome job,hes a great presenter and i hope to see him in future videos
