You should try minimizing the sound effects :) but overall, you have such a nice vibe to you that I absolutely love! I was curious so I clicked on the video, and I’m already loving your style and the video. My style is pretty similar, though leaning more on the feminine side. ✨
I'm always interested in what styles people are attracted to. I was a goth in high school and early college then became more punk rock indie noise pretentious whatever. And now in my 40s I went back to my goth roots. But I never wanted to be a trillionaire -- I just wanted to fuck shit up. I still do. So you be that trillionaire! And I love those fucking boots!
Good for you! We all gotta chase what we love. The boots fit into literally any style; punk, indie, goth, old money, hipster, whatever...that's why I love them so much!
Unlike idkuhh621, I think the sound effects are appropriate, even if the video would work just as well with fewer sound effects. Maybe it's because I'm familiar with the older videos and find the current editing style to be another refreshing facet. Overall a great style, elegant and often classic, but with a twist. Influenced by you, I recently bought my first linen shirt. May I nevertheless make a few suggestions for possible improvements to details?
@@FineasJackson *Color* 0:29 Fabric in soft cream should not be combined with black leather because the contrast is too harsh. Brown, white or dark blue leather looks more harmonious with cream, as the product photos from Gutteridge show. *Handkerchief/ scarf* Your curly hair naturally looks a bit chaotic. If you wear the scarf as in 5:47 with a distance between the scarf and the shirt collar, I find the surroundings of the face too chaotic overall. I can think of three ways of smoothing out the area around the face: - Combine the scarf with a cap as in 1:50 - Do without the scarf (with the open white shirt in the Florence video, you could become the first trillionaire model) - Tie the scarf like a day cravat, i.e. without leaving any space between it and the shirt collar. Although this is a very classic way of tying, it is so rare today that you would still look individual. *Proportions* Torso length and trouser length should be clearly different from each other, and the length ratio should ideally correspond to the golden ratio or a simple numerical ratio. This is the reason why the outfits at 4:53 and 5:10 work so well: length of trousers = 2 x length of torso. The outfit at 7:00 violates this rule and even worse, it violates the design law of decisiveness: two design elements must either be clearly the same or clearly different. The torso and shorts here appear neither clearly the same length nor clearly different lengths. The two lengths would be clearly different from each other and the length ratio would correspond to the golden ratio if you took one of these measures: - Wear shorter shorts (rather theoretically) - Wear the shorts at a lower waist height - Choose a wide belt in the same color as the top I think I have too much free time ...
I think we all just have different preferences which is fine, and I honestly love sound effects in videos, they add flavor but I think I prefer a bit less. Though I have to agree that his style is very nice .
Fabian, thank you! I agree with much of what you've said, but I want to push back on a few things. *_Black leather and cream_* Cream and black-like white and black-work well in my opinion. Sometimes the contrast is a feature not a flaw. In the white linen/black loafer outfit at 3:44, the contrast gives great separation and visual interest that that serve the style and language of the garb as a whole. I will concede that the black belt and loafers are a bit jarring with the cream linen shirt under the blue blazer. But, this is also a product of my video color grading, as I upped the contrast, and accentuated the blues in this segment of the video. Nevertheless we can agree to disagree on this one. *_Handkerchief at _**_5:47_* I wholly agree with your points here. If I was going to wear the handkerchief I should have either reduced it's height so there was a smooth line with my neck, or added the linen cap. I had been looking for the cap the whole video while I filmed different segments and was only able to find it later...in my basement. sigh. Also, definitely going to tie the handkerchief like a cravat at some point. I've been planning to do this for a while now. *_Proportions: shorts at _**_7:00_* For this outfit, I tried something different than how I would typically wear it. Usually, I would go with a no show sock, that gives the appearance of wearing the loafer sockless. To your point, this would lengthen my legs, and correct the proportions of the outfit. On reflection though, I think the problem here is the waist area where excess fabric build-up gives a non-tailored frumpy vibe (seen at 6:59.) I definitely see your point about the proportions, but part of me doesn't mind the high sock look. I will have to try this outfit again, tucking in the upper section better, to see if it leads to a more visually satisfying experience. When I do we can revisit and see if it makes a difference, or if the problem is truly in the proportions. This is a lovely discourse, and I have been thinking about this comment all day! Reflecting, considering my response, and now finally replying. Please keep the feedback coming! Ciao, Fineas

Thank you so much! That is incredibly kind of you! I will work to make it sound more natural in the next video!
Very nice 👍🏻
Thank you!

Please do! Glad you bought a linen shirt!
