00:00 Menswear Rules Introduction
The world of classic menswear is a thoroughly enjoyable place to be - with suits, jackets, shirts, and ties just being the tip of the sartorial iceberg. But, for all of the fun that goes with looking at and wearing classic clothing, some of the conventions can be a real minefield to navigate.
we’ve rounded up some of the biggest menswear rules that you’re likely to have heard of and the reasons why they’ve come to be, and we’ll show you how you can live a more fulfilling life by twisting, bending, or even breaking them.
02:57 Rule #1: There is Only One Exactly “Correct” Tie Length
06:14 Rule #2: Trouser Pleats “must” be forward-facing
08:00 Rule #3: Tweed Jackets can’t be worn with jeans
10:19 Rule #4: “No Brown in Town”
11:53 Rule #5: Brown shoes can’t be worn with a suit
12:57 Rule #6A: All metals “must” match
14:22 Rule #6B: All leathers “must” match
16:53 Rule #7: A “true gentleman” doesn’t own short-sleeved button-up shirts
20:02 Rule #8: Black Tie & White Tie Rules
Those were the several sartorial citations that were sidelined successfully. We’d like to know though, what’s your take on our rule-breaking, and do you have any other rules that you’d like for us to add to the list? Just let us know in the comments below.
