Never said he wasn't. The difference in the middle of the video isn't that big between both hosts. But whenever I start watching a video from the beginning Raphael just makes it so much more wholesome and that just sets the entire mood for the video for me. So if he works on that, just the way he greets the viewers, he'll be just fine..
I haven't watched this video yet but... Maybe you'll change my mind. I do wear jeans with a classic white Oxford and maybe a simple vest. I live in a city and am active walking to the park maybe a city cookout and in this environment you can end up sitting on surfaces that are not smooth and could snag and damage slacks and or dress pants. But I never wear black jeans usually a deep indigo. Let's see if this changes after the video.
Too bad Raphael says jeans and jackets are not his style. He looks amazing in all he showcased in this video! Elegant, casual, understated, very well combined!
I need to disagree for once. I really like this outfit: Black dress boots, dark jeans with a nice, but not too tight fit, leather belt, a white or light blue dress shirt and a 2 button navy jacket. Love it!
I'm now 50 so all graphic tees skinny jeans and young man's swag are getting the boot from me now time to become a gentleman :) Thank you for the good ideas.
I tend to like black jeans, a black turtle neck and black brogues or something similar, combined with a brown Tweed or tan camel jacket. On rainy/cold days, I'll include a beige trench coat.
Wow Sven, you're a mind reader. I started today as a controlling intern and they told me that I'm overdressed, so I was about to look into jeans and what I should pair with them... Excellent timing!
A Sports Jacket with a pair of starched creased wrangler jeans along with a Starched white shirt and a nice pair of boots I think is still pretty sharp for a casual evening out.
Jeans are comfy AF. Blazers are comfy AF. Be confident and contrast your jeans/jackets correctly. As long as you put some thought into it, it looks fine.
Nice jeans/jacket combinations. The somewhat lighter colored jeans with a navy blazer works works well too. I think it still is a common mediterranean look, sockless, great fitting expensive jeans, nice shoes/loafers.
I absolutely love your videos. Yes, I'm a woman, but I like to learn! Plus, I pass on some information to my son. I don't care that he's only six, it's never too early to learn to be a gentleman. Off-topic, but I love your accent.
Im so glad that there is another woman that enjoys these videos. I find them very informative. And actually I will wear some of the outfits but with a feminine twist. I was first inspired by a french woman in paris that loves similar looks which is very classic.
I am not fashion savvy when it comes to formal wear and combinations. I found this channel because of upcoming Vegas trip and Ive got to say this is whole new science for me. But just like he said "dress a notch above the dress code". Im going to run with that idea
Very well done, Rafael. I often wonder what newer elements of men's style are simply trends (the vast majority, I believe), and what will one day be considered classic style. I have a feeling that this pairing is here to stay; however, even if it is not, I very much appreciate that the Gentleman's Gazette addresses many of the more popular current trends and helps us make them work within a classic framework. Keep up the good work!
A turtleneck also looks great with a jacket and jeans in my experience because it bridges the potential clash of formalities really well in my opinion.
I personally hate the look of jeans with sportcoat/suit jacket. I don't know why, just something about it. But I'm glad you're out here giving tips so hopefully men can make the best of that look.
If you don't want to wear a shirt under your jacket, I personally find that a turtleneck sweather combines very well. It's a bit of retro late 60's early 70's vibe, but I really like it
Silicon Valley is driving this kind of thing. They often make heinous mistakes in matching and balancing, despite being intelligent and performing admirably when dealing with electronics, network engineering, and software engineering. They seem to derive their dress habits from extreme desire to obtain comfort and to have no care problems with garments and shoes (and probably to fit in with the very young staff who are quite numerous). Therefore they use cotton, polyester, and acrylics. Shoes are often sneakers or tennis shoes, but often the most expensive models of these shoes. The shirts are T-shirts all too often. Sometimes a top is a solid thin sweater. Some tech moguls have decided to always wear exactly the same clothes, and have purchased several copies of the same thing. They believe this eliminates mental effort which dilutes their other efforts. I believe this is an error regarding how the human mind works. It can handle far more than we credit it. I agree with this video that the problem is mismatching of formality and subtle cues. I favor button-down oxford shirts (open neck, no tie), brown loafers, matching belt, and tweed jacket or tan camel hair jacket when I do this. It is very important that the jeans be of good quality and not bunching or pooling. Far more often I use a set of chino pants and forego using jeans. I am comfortable with presenting a sort of "preppy" look, as long as it is not obnoxious.
I picked up a tan corduroy sport coat at Brooks Brothers to wear with jeans. Wore a v-neck and oxford with a bow tie with it to work. Got lots of compliments!
I only wear jeans and/or other types of denim with very casual, highly patterned jackets. Usually I wear them in fall and earlier spring when it isn’t too hot and not too cold for jeans and denim.
I'm 23 and I mostly wear my blazers with jeans because otherwise I would be simply overdressed in my informal environment. I disagree with few of the items you listed as not to wear with a blazer and jeans but I think that stems from the generation gap. A white slim fit t-shirt always looks good with a very informal blazer and I tend to wear my black chelseas or double monks with a grey or blue blazer.
I have chinos that are cut like jeans. I think they are just a little bit more formal and don't have the contrast stiching. I use my navy ones at the office all the time with my windowpane patterned blue sports jacket.
I don't really wear denim with a suit jacket or blazer all that much, but I do wear it with a button up shirt and tie, and I like it. I think wearing denim with somewhat formal garments works only if the denim is black or very, dark/navy blue. It doesn't work at all with regular blue jeans.
I agree. The look needs dark, new-looking, well fitting jeans. Unless you look like George Clooney, in which case you can get away with a bit more than regular people.
I also don't like pairing dress jackets with jeans, but I follow the same idea about jacket fabric mixed with solid color jeans, and type your shoe look that fits.
for occasions I have worn BLACK Levi 501" starched and pressed from the Cleaners, with a Black Velvet Dinner Jacket with shoes being Ox Blood Wing Tips and for a splash of unexpected color a multi color socks, White Button down and a Paisley Tie... pictures taken at the occasions come back looking very dapper.... I would never wear a pair of Levi's that are stone washed faded in any way only have one or two of those to begin with and those are only for extremely casual setting where Shorts are not appropriate
I pull this look off all the time though I skip the tie. I'm an account executive in the South and a lot of my clients idea of dressing up would-be khakis and a golf shirt. I enjoy wearing a sport jacket so rocking a nice pair of jeans with a jacket is a great solution for me not to come across as overdressed.
Wow! just like in asia fascinating.. we do business that way since modernization! But most asian (except japan and korea) still have lower standard even for a “strict” formal events, like short sleeved oxford shirt is considered formal and a must for wedding guests doesn’t matter the usually given lumberjack plaid/tartan pattern Haha!! Most people here can’t differentiate casual blazer jacket vs News anchor ultra formal suit jacket either.. so it’s a beneficial for people like us, wear it all with every combination as you please!
I wear Stefano Ricci blazer with my brioni jeans with a t-shirt or sweater underneath always. Or I wear my Brioni overcoat with t-shirt underneath with jeans. Quite casual, classy and sophisticated look. It's how you wear it that matters.
My jaw dropped when he suggested that. An unironed shirt under a jacket is hideous just like his multi-coloured, striped shirt at 9:47 and the Trump length tie donned by the Asian gentleman at 1:33.
I wear an RM Williams wool sports coat in houndstooth with a simple white shirt over Levi 501s, they require cuffing but paired with RM Williams stockman's boots in tan kangaroo leather the ensemble works as a kind if smart/casual farmer look. Ideally an Akubra should also be worn but I can't pull off hats!
Lochlan Denton, get an Akubra Campdraft in silver belly or moonstone. Really a nice hat, and would go well with denim. The hat is open crown so you can shape it however you’d like.
Raph, the suit was originally a working man's everyday clothing late in the Victorian age, or so I read. I completely agree about the no holes or painters jeans though. Out west, rural west, we generally consider black jeans to be more 'formal'. Personally I really like natural or kahki colour jeans with my Navy blue jacket or blazer. Is that off?
I wore the exact same combination you talked about it. The button down shirt with red and blue checks, the prince of whales check jacket with a pair of medium double monks with dark wash denims
This video could not have come out at a better time - with fall quickly approaching I'm going to start wearing jeans more often. Growing up in sunny southern California I never had the need or interest to wear jeans. Now that I'm in Indiana jeans are much more of a necessity. Still I've never really liked the jeans + sweater look. This is a great way to incorporate dressier menswear a and still wear jeans. Thanks for the advice, Gentleman's Gazette!
Never wear a suit jacket with anything but the suit it was made for. Brown tweed blazers with flap pockets are acceptable with jeans. That's pretty much it.
At 2:24, the guy on the left with the good pants and jacket, ruins the whole look with that t-shirt with graphics.......unbelievable. It is also a complete distraction.
It makes me think that I don't have a single pair of jeans in my wardrobe... only chinos. I thought to buy a pair anyway and this video gave me ideas on how to wear it. Thank you!
In Texas we of course like to incorporate this look with boots, but here again (and to your point) there are color and even material variances that allow a complimentary look to the overall ensemble.
I personally think that jeans with suit jackets is too much of clash of formality for me. I think that jeans with a white(ironed) dress shirt with a leather jacket is a good combination. I tend to undo the two top buttons of the dress shirt for a more casual look.
At the start of the show is the best Iv seen you being urself....that is you, the haircut and the lay of your clothes, plus the colors were a great match. Later on during parts of the show the shirts were too tight in your stomach area. I can taylor the cut best for you with a good neck fit with a fuller cut in your stomach area. Nothing wrong with fuller body types as a result of good living.
I've seen occasionally people using t-shirts with jackets, and I don't think it looks bad. You wouldn't use it for any formal activity, but what about doing so for a night out with the boys?
Sooooo yes you can wear a blazer with jeans... Totally accepted. Just know who your audience is and where your going to make sure it still fits the situation... You don't need loafers or any of that
Black oxfords - really well-styled ones - can work with the right denim. Great video, lots of ideas, even though I don’t agree with 100% of it (as I usually do).
For me, the answer is NO! Unless of course, one is going for the full-on 1975 look... And only then if the Sport Coat is ALSO made of denim... Welcome back, Kotter.
Jeans are kind of unforgiving, but other than that, a simpler answer is yes unless there is a dress code, but is is that not true for anything? There are lots of blazer type jackets (with lapels) that go very well with jeans. I am specially fond of Emporio Armani unstructured blazers that are packable and look neat with almos everything. And for shirts, Hugo (not boss) non business, some of them have dressy look but work for the club too. They don't even need ties and come with studs and cuffs.
Raphael, while I agree with you on almost every point, I must disagree about peak lapels and ….. It is not the lapel that dictates the formality of a jacket, but the clothe. A single breasted, cord or tweed jacket, with peaked lapels, would never be considered leaning towards formality. Thus, could be paired up with jeans. Square ended knit ties, an oxford shirt, jeans, and a sport coat also can create a fine presentation, so a tie with jeans? Sure, if it's the right tie / short combo. French cuffs and jeans? Sure why not. Silk knot play full cufflinks, with a pattern shirt with French / double cuffs, will work. Fabric, pattern, and link selection are key though. The rules are meant to be bent and sometimes broken. The trick is being confident enough to pull off the look.
So much of what you said was like "duh, that's obvious" to me. But then I recall all the people I meet that wear jeans and jackets and I think we should broadcast your videos on Times Square monitors or public TV in prime time :)
Hello Sven, in the video I believe you said that patch pockets are more formal than jeted and patch pockets. Is that right? I thought they were less formal(patch) than their counter parts.
I also noticed that he said that. I think it was a mistake that did not get caught in editing. Patch pockets are less formal or more casual than jetted pockets. He probably should put a comment on here to address the mistake if he is aware of it.
What are your thoughts on cowboy boots in this particular dress combo? I have a pair of nice, well maintained boots that I think would meter the clash between Jean's and a suit jacket well
End of the day, you do what you like. I wear cowboy boots daily, paired with the right jeans and proper shirt with even a vest and it looks great. And I feel way more confident wearing. There is a huge generational gap in the comments, times are changing and you might as well be at the forefront. Rock those boots and look great doing it, brother.
Jonathon Cox: Not an option here in dear old England. Although my wife did pick up a pair of Cowboy boots in California many years ago. They looked good in your country - incongruous in ours 🙁
I’m wondering, can you use a tie with jacket and jeans if you use a more informal knot? My thinking is that if the tie, and the knot you use, you can make it less formal, and with the button down shirt, you can make the formality gap just fine.
Imo, a casual tie, not a dressy one, would probably be fine with a good jeans/blazer combination. New-looking, well fitting jeans, casual blazer (like a tweed), Chelsea boots, and a casual tie could be a winner look.
i like the combination jeans, good shoes and WHITE shirt very much. The jacket then has to be not so far away in color.....for me a linnen jacket in light sand, khaki or something By the way, for me, your trousers could be half an inch longer and the cuffs not so big....only my opinion
I'd like to offer some advice. If you have a vintage jacket with large lapels and go for a tie, it looks more like a costume. It is fancy enough without. Vintage jackets should be worn with jeans and no tie and they look great as a more casual look.
I am looking for a good tweed suit and would like to know your thoughts on Cornings of Piccadilly or Chester Barrie? Or if you know any other good suppliers of tweed?
I disagree with one small point he brought up, the one about T-Shirts and suit jackets. I especially like combos like black jeans combined with a white t-shirt and a black (single breasted) jacket which would be unbuttoned. That is a look mostly seen in small concerts or jazz clubs. I really like this particular combination, because it doesn't make you look too formal for a mini concert but also makes you look somewhat different from the crowd. But about why I don't like dress shirts in this particular situation is it make you look almost too formal concerning it's only a bar or a jazz club you're playing in where nobody else would even think about wearing a suit. A nice bonus is that it will be not too warm or too cold, which might happen with eighter just jeans and T-shirt or with a complete suit. With everything else in the video I totally agree and I think it's too bad, that you don't like the look of jeans and jacket because you look just too good in them.
Hmm I have mixed feelings about it. I usually/mostly dislike it, but when in a pinch, it's OK. ESPECIALLY THIS IS AWESOME=SPORTS JACKET+JEANS! Sports Jacket or Coat is fine with Dark Blue Jeans. But if it's a black blazer with light blue jeans? horrible. Yep, gents gazette agrees. Tweed Jacket+Jeans=Perfect.
"Welcome back to the gentleman's gazette" sir I like the way you say it.
this so much. It just sets the mood for the videos. Maybe the other host could work on that
The other host is new. Let him get used to being in the videos and I'm sure he will be fine. :)
Never said he wasn't. The difference in the middle of the video isn't that big between both hosts. But whenever I start watching a video from the beginning Raphael just makes it so much more wholesome and that just sets the entire mood for the video for me. So if he works on that, just the way he greets the viewers, he'll be just fine..
I haven't watched this video yet but... Maybe you'll change my mind. I do wear jeans with a classic white Oxford and maybe a simple vest. I live in a city and am active walking to the park maybe a city cookout and in this environment you can end up sitting on surfaces that are not smooth and could snag and damage slacks and or dress pants. But I never wear black jeans usually a deep indigo. Let's see if this changes after the video.
SRS: Welcome back to the gentleman’s gazette
People who are new to the gentleman’s gazette: o_____0
Too bad Raphael says jeans and jackets are not his style. He looks amazing in all he showcased in this video! Elegant, casual, understated, very well combined!
I need to disagree for once. I really like this outfit: Black dress boots, dark jeans with a nice, but not too tight fit, leather belt, a white or light blue dress shirt and a 2 button navy jacket. Love it!
Nah.
nope
Your clothes, your choice
Green is the most underrated color . It looks amazing!
I'm now 50 so all graphic tees skinny jeans and young man's swag are getting the boot from me now time to become a gentleman :) Thank you for the good ideas.
My former elementary school principal used to wear a sport coat with jeans and brown dress shoes, and he looked really good
I tend to like black jeans, a black turtle neck and black brogues or something similar, combined with a brown Tweed or tan camel jacket. On rainy/cold days, I'll include a beige trench coat.
Wow Sven, you're a mind reader. I started today as a controlling intern and they told me that I'm overdressed, so I was about to look into jeans and what I should pair with them... Excellent timing!

Nice jeans/jacket combinations. The somewhat lighter colored jeans with a navy blazer works works well too. I think it still is a common mediterranean look, sockless, great fitting expensive jeans, nice shoes/loafers.
It doesn’t really have to be expensive jeans, they just have to be free of wear and tear.
I absolutely love your videos. Yes, I'm a woman, but I like to learn! Plus, I pass on some information to my son. I don't care that he's only six, it's never too early to learn to be a gentleman. Off-topic, but I love your accent.
Thank you!
Im so glad that there is another woman that enjoys these videos. I find them very informative. And actually I will wear some of the outfits but with a feminine twist. I was first inspired by a french woman in paris that loves similar looks which is very classic.
good kitty As a guy, I'm really glad that women are feeling welcome to enjoy the amazing world of suit fashion!
Good mother, hope he remembers you on mother's day!
I am not fashion savvy when it comes to formal wear and combinations. I found this channel because of upcoming Vegas trip and Ive got to say this is whole new science for me.
But just like he said "dress a notch above the dress code". Im going to run with that idea
@7:59 I’ve seen this work though.
A pressed t shirt that compliments the denim-coat combination is ideal in startups.
I’ve worked it in other places
Very well done, Rafael. I often wonder what newer elements of men's style are simply trends (the vast majority, I believe), and what will one day be considered classic style. I have a feeling that this pairing is here to stay; however, even if it is not, I very much appreciate that the Gentleman's Gazette addresses many of the more popular current trends and helps us make them work within a classic framework. Keep up the good work!
The dark green with red checks and jeans are a great combination for you.
A turtleneck also looks great with a jacket and jeans in my experience because it bridges the potential clash of formalities really well in my opinion.
Can you make a video about how to style leather jackets?
Jeans and plain or cap toe boots or shoes
I personally hate the look of jeans with sportcoat/suit jacket. I don't know why, just something about it. But I'm glad you're out here giving tips so hopefully men can make the best of that look.
If you don't want to wear a shirt under your jacket, I personally find that a turtleneck sweather combines very well. It's a bit of retro late 60's early 70's vibe, but I really like it
There you are... good to see you back.
Wonderful topic and video Rafael! Personally, I think you look fantastic with this combination of jacket and jeans!
Black boots with jeans and blazer are accepted here in Texas. Even in daytime.
1:37 I just came here because of the right guy. Its Bastian Pastewka he is a german comedian.
Love the way he says ‘casual’ 👌🏻
Silicon Valley is driving this kind of thing. They often make heinous mistakes in matching and balancing, despite being intelligent and performing admirably when dealing with electronics, network engineering, and software engineering.

Agreed about the shirt. It's a generation thing. If you work out it helps as well

Oh a Pastewka example picture. I like the little details about your origin😉
I wear Stefano Ricci blazer with my brioni jeans with a t-shirt or sweater underneath always. Or I wear my Brioni overcoat with t-shirt underneath with jeans. Quite casual, classy and sophisticated look. It's how you wear it that matters.
"Maybe skip ironing" Never thought I'd see the day XD
Yeah it made me laugh too
My jaw dropped when he suggested that. An unironed shirt under a jacket is hideous just like his multi-coloured, striped shirt at 9:47 and the Trump length tie donned by the Asian gentleman at 1:33.
The last 2 years on my job, I basically stopped ironing.......ha ha ha, but I did wear permapressed clothes
I wear an RM Williams wool sports coat in houndstooth with a simple white shirt over Levi 501s, they require cuffing but paired with RM Williams stockman's boots in tan kangaroo leather the ensemble works as a kind if smart/casual farmer look. Ideally an Akubra should also be worn but I can't pull off hats!
Lochlan Denton, get an Akubra Campdraft in silver belly or moonstone. Really a nice hat, and would go well with denim. The hat is open crown so you can shape it however you’d like.

Out west, rural west, we generally consider black jeans to be more 'formal'. Personally I really like natural or kahki colour jeans with my Navy blue jacket or blazer. Is that off?
Very solid tips. Personally I would also forego the pocket square in this situation; I think it increases the contrast.
Nice to see you adress this topic so nicely.
I wore the exact same combination you talked about it.
The button down shirt with red and blue checks, the prince of whales check jacket with a pair of medium double monks with dark wash denims

Never wear a suit jacket with anything but the suit it was made for.
Brown tweed blazers with flap pockets are acceptable with jeans. That's pretty much it.
What about random suit jackets you find 2nd hand?
At 2:24, the guy on the left with the good pants and jacket, ruins the whole look with that t-shirt with graphics.......unbelievable. It is also a complete distraction.
It makes me think that I don't have a single pair of jeans in my wardrobe... only chinos. I thought to buy a pair anyway and this video gave me ideas on how to wear it. Thank you!
jeans with a suit jacket is a common local style where I live. live in central Tennessee
Are you a Ryan Upchurch fan?
RHEC..
In Texas we of course like to incorporate this look with boots, but here again (and to your point) there are color and even material variances that allow a complimentary look to the overall ensemble.
Yessir a lighter sport coat with a complementary colored shirt and polished Justin boots works down here!
Great video and great advice. Now I know how to pair a more business casual look.
I personally think that jeans with suit jackets is too much of clash of formality for me. I think that jeans with a white(ironed) dress shirt with a leather jacket is a good combination. I tend to undo the two top buttons of the dress shirt for a more casual look.
What do you think about a finely knitted roll neck with a jacket and jeans?
that's an interesting idea!
Thanks for the panama jacket suggestion.
I have watched in your content in a while,your style has losen up alot.I enjoy it.
Great video! My father who wears jeans on a regular basis needs this.
As this is my everyday go-to style, looks like I've already done it quite right for all this time.
Sorry to hear that. If you wore chinos instead you'd look better. But hey, not everyone has a sense of style.
@@seybertooth9282 chinos are not my style to begin with, they don't have any place in my wardrobe
great video, I'm 68 and I have been doing this for years.
I really like the green tie, grey blazer combo at 3:14.
Every outfit you wear is absolutely great
At the start of the show is the best Iv seen you being urself....that is you, the haircut and the lay of your clothes, plus the colors were a great match. Later on during parts of the show the shirts were too tight in your stomach area. I can taylor the cut best for you with a good neck fit with a fuller cut in your stomach area. Nothing wrong with fuller body types as a result of good living.
A Great vid & when I'm shopping I could watch this again & know what to buy 🤘🏼
Button down shirt with three buttoned patch pocket jacket is the best look with a pair of pleated chinos...
I've seen occasionally people using t-shirts with jackets, and I don't think it looks bad. You wouldn't use it for any formal activity, but what about doing so for a night out with the boys?
Sooooo yes you can wear a blazer with jeans... Totally accepted. Just know who your audience is and where your going to make sure it still fits the situation... You don't need loafers or any of that
You should also have mentioned to wear a matching belt with the shoes
The best channel on RUclips.
No I am afraid that would be Swedwoods but yes this channel is a close 2nd
Raphael sir could we wear derby shoes with jeans?
Black oxfords - really well-styled ones - can work with the right denim. Great video, lots of ideas, even though I don’t agree with 100% of it (as I usually do).
For me, the answer is NO!
Unless of course, one is going for the full-on 1975 look... And only then if the Sport Coat is ALSO made of denim... Welcome back, Kotter.
One exception to the DB rule. You can wear a lightweight, unconstructed, and somewhat shorter (than a suit) db jacket with white jeans in the summer.
Jeans are kind of unforgiving, but other than that, a simpler answer is yes unless there is a dress code, but is is that not true for anything? There are lots of blazer type jackets (with lapels) that go very well with jeans. I am specially fond of Emporio Armani unstructured blazers that are packable and look neat with almos everything. And for shirts, Hugo (not boss) non business, some of them have dressy look but work for the club too. They don't even need ties and come with studs and cuffs.

hello, is it ok to wear a black denim as a formal wear? black denim pair to a black shoes and cooat and tie? thanks
Nope
I disagree on the black shoes. There are some really good full brogue black dress shoes that look really good with jeans
Excellent video and it really made me think about how to wear my black denim jeans with a blazer and shoes.
Raphael, while I agree with you on almost every point, I must disagree about peak lapels and ….. It is not the lapel that dictates the formality of a jacket, but the clothe. A single breasted, cord or tweed jacket, with peaked lapels, would never be considered leaning towards formality. Thus, could be paired up with jeans. Square ended knit ties, an oxford shirt, jeans, and a sport coat also can create a fine presentation, so a tie with jeans? Sure, if it's the right tie / short combo. French cuffs and jeans? Sure why not. Silk knot play full cufflinks, with a pattern shirt with French / double cuffs, will work. Fabric, pattern, and link selection are key though. The rules are meant to be bent and sometimes broken. The trick is being confident enough to pull off the look.
If I want to be casual, I would choose chinos rather than jeans.
Yes, this.
How about a cashmere sports jacket with jeans & white shirt.
So much of what you said was like "duh, that's obvious" to me. But then I recall all the people I meet that wear jeans and jackets and I think we should broadcast your videos on Times Square monitors or public TV in prime time :)
I pull it off all the time
Marcel Floruss and Blake Scott give great examples of how you should wear a Blazer with Jean's.
I'm not a big fan of this style either, but of all who have worn it you definitely pulled it off best.
I love this video.... very timely... thanks Raphael!
Hello Sven, in the video I believe you said that patch pockets are more formal than jeted and patch pockets. Is that right? I thought they were less formal(patch) than their counter parts.
I also noticed that he said that. I think it was a mistake that did not get caught in editing. Patch pockets are less formal or more casual than jetted pockets. He probably should put a comment on here to address the mistake if he is aware of it.
What are your thoughts on cowboy boots in this particular dress combo? I have a pair of nice, well maintained boots that I think would meter the clash between Jean's and a suit jacket well
End of the day, you do what you like. I wear cowboy boots daily, paired with the right jeans and proper shirt with even a vest and it looks great. And I feel way more confident wearing. There is a huge generational gap in the comments, times are changing and you might as well be at the forefront. Rock those boots and look great doing it, brother.
Jonathon Cox: Not an option here in dear old England. Although my wife did pick up a pair of Cowboy boots in California many years ago. They looked good in your country - incongruous in ours 🙁
I wear iron ranger, red wing boots with this look.
I wear double cuff shirt s all the time even with denims and bow ties
Good man
Similar texture would work really well
Look up images of Ralph Lauren wearing old faded jeans with western boots and formal wear up top. Looks fantastic!
Wasn't he Rachel's fella?
I’m wondering, can you use a tie with jacket and jeans if you use a more informal knot? My thinking is that if the tie, and the knot you use, you can make it less formal, and with the button down shirt, you can make the formality gap just fine.
Imo, a casual tie, not a dressy one, would probably be fine with a good jeans/blazer combination. New-looking, well fitting jeans, casual blazer (like a tweed), Chelsea boots, and a casual tie could be a winner look.
Well I am going for it this weekend, if I crash and burn I'll let you know.
i like the combination jeans, good shoes and WHITE shirt very much. The jacket then has to be not so far away in color.....for me a linnen jacket in light sand, khaki or something
By the way, for me, your trousers could be half an inch longer and the cuffs not so big....only my opinion
what kind of black oxfords are those !?
I'd like to offer some advice. If you have a vintage jacket with large lapels and go for a tie, it looks more like a costume. It is fancy enough without. Vintage jackets should be worn with jeans and no tie and they look great as a more casual look.
Charles Kos will it work with chinos too?
I have one vintage blazer and instill don’t know how to style it.
David August always wears blazers with denim and he looks very fashionable
I am looking for a good tweed suit and would like to know your thoughts on Cornings of Piccadilly or Chester Barrie? Or if you know any other good suppliers of tweed?
Cordings is great. Otherwise I would suggest Bladen, they even offer amazing some hacking jackets which look terrific, great value and quality.
I'm sad this is not your style because you look gorgeous with jeans and blazer. IMHO
I disagree with one small point he brought up, the one about T-Shirts and suit jackets. I especially like combos like black jeans combined with a white t-shirt and a black (single breasted) jacket which would be unbuttoned. That is a look mostly seen in small concerts or jazz clubs. I really like this particular combination, because it doesn't make you look too formal for a mini concert but also makes you look somewhat different from the crowd. But about why I don't like dress shirts in this particular situation is it make you look almost too formal concerning it's only a bar or a jazz club you're playing in where nobody else would even think about wearing a suit. A nice bonus is that it will be not too warm or too cold, which might happen with eighter just jeans and T-shirt or with a complete suit.
With everything else in the video I totally agree and I think it's too bad, that you don't like the look of jeans and jacket because you look just too good in them.
10:34 I loved the brown jacket,it looks amazing on you....👍🏻👌🏻could u please tell me where could I buy it??
What are those shirts called that the collar covers the tie? You know the shirts that they wore in the 70's in the goodfellas movie?
Hmm I have mixed feelings about it. I usually/mostly dislike it, but when in a pinch, it's OK. ESPECIALLY THIS IS AWESOME=SPORTS JACKET+JEANS! Sports Jacket or Coat is fine with Dark Blue Jeans. But if it's a black blazer with light blue jeans? horrible.
Yep, gents gazette agrees. Tweed Jacket+Jeans=Perfect.
