      @Max-lw2rt 6 лет назад +2

      For myself I prefer brown, but that's because I'm still very young and have a rather casual style (within the classic style spectrum). Also brown has a wider range of colours and ages better

    Having grown up in the 1950-60s, these tips were familiar to me. It's great that you're educating contemporary young men regarding their appearance, since I believe they have been largely led astray by incongruous style choices of late. Cordovan (or Shadow Antique Brown as it was also known) was the most ubiquitous shoe color back in my high school days, since, as you noted, the shade was extremely versatile.

      eronavbj yes, Cordovan is versatile and also a sophisticated option.

  • @RubbelisPro
    @RubbelisPro 4 года назад

    I own a pair of brown boots and I find it hard to match sometimes with my more business casual outfits, so I have a pair of black dress shoes that I wear when I need to dress a bit nicer. They just look more sleek and formal than brown leather, but there's a time and a place for everything.

    Antonio, any suggestions to prevent/remove yellow stains from shirt collars? preventing would be a better option actually!
    nice video btw! i think brown can work well with grey suits too. just that charcoal grey-dark brown. lighter greys-lighter browns.
    LOL, that last part haha

    • @toobalkain
      @toobalkain 6 лет назад +1

      Once the stain is set in, it seems impossible to get out. I failed to notice the rings on a couple of my favorite shirts due to specific lighting in the walk in and by then they were very much set in, I tried everything, from various oxi products to baking soda, pretty much every bleaching chemical available OTC that one person or another claimed would work, tried borax as well, nothing worked. The only thing I haven't tried is hydrogen peroxide.

There are just times more options with 'em. Didn't you think, sometimes it even works when you take a dark blue brown-caged jacket with brown shoes and a belt to a formal meeting?

    I like your suggestion but i try to buy vintage clothing anywhere i can get it, it doesn't matter if it's used it matter about your style and taste in clothes, my favorite dress shoes are a candy apple pair of shoes i got to get them resoled but there really nice but at the end a nice pair of American shoes made back in the day from the 40s, 50s have lasted longer than some of today's dress shoes that's why i go with vintage you pay up or pay down for a peace of American history you can wear.

    Hey Antonio, I really enjoy your videos, they’ve helped me a lot. Can you please make a video on how to shop when you are somewhere between two sizes. I’m a bit more muscular but still lean, so with shirts, Polos and jackets I’m usually between small and medium (European sizes if it matters). Small sometimes gets a bit too tight especially in the chest and shoulder area, but medium is very saggy and too long on arms and the torso. Are there any tricks on how to approach this, are there any brands that have a more muscular cut? I think many guys have that problem, would make a nice video, especially because it seems like you are also a bit more on the muscular side...

    Antonio, in one of your videos, you mentioned that ostrich or exotic shoes despite being oxford or Chelsea, would be consider casual. But what's about nice looking alligator belly oxfords or dress shoes? I'm talking about the ones with smooth nice scales. Not horn-back scale. Would those consider formal or casual? I have a few pairs of those and cowboy boots.

  • @saulmoran7369

    All this shoe talk reminded me of a question, how formal is a split toe ( kinda like a more formal moccasin) versus a cap toe. Could it be worn with black tie?

  • @joshbenton810
    @joshbenton810 5 лет назад

    When I was in school and my parents were buying things, my mother wouldn't let me get brown shoes because she thinks they would have less versatility for me, but now I have one pair of decent dress shoes, one pair of nice brown suede chelsea boots, and two cheap fake leather chukkas, and the only ones that are black are one of the cheap chukkas 😂😂.
    Brown just works with my style a lot better. Currently my go to style is grey/navy chinos, my suede chelseas and either a black or white T-shirt (it is summer and we are 25°C+ with massive humidity)

    • @joshbenton810
      @joshbenton810 5 лет назад

  • @Matt_Nor
    @Matt_Nor 6 лет назад

    So basically, brown is mainly for the casual vibe, whilst black is for more formal occasions. I'd have a real hard time choosing between Black Chukkas or Chealsea. What's your opinion though? Black Chelsea's and a suit, or no? 'Cause i really don't want to wear square shoes...

    • @RealMenRealStyle

    I think about two-thirds to three-quarters of all my dress shoes are black (and yes, I do wear them with jeans). I am a little wary about wearing too light of a brown shoe even though I found a pair of walnut Allen Edmonds Strands that look great. However, my uncle has a pair of wingtips that are supposedly light brown, but their discoloration kind of reminds me of vomit. Most two-tone dress shoes, though, are not appealing to me at all.

The entire ofice started chanting brown shoes over and over again so the dude ran to the nearest shoe store and bought a pair of black Oxfords. So don’t wear brown with a business suit.

    I love brown and black and I use both of my wardrobe for what I wear suits and jeans. I like to dress down my black and dark brown shoes usually with dark colored jeans such as indigo navy dark blue and my black jeans. Usually of course black on black especially the monochromatic look along with some of my gray in my wardrobe. Even though I have dark brown hair I love wearing my dark brown suit with my brown shoes and I usually wear brown most the time with my navy blue and true blue suits but also when I wear my navy or true blue suit depending on my shirt and tie combination I will wear my oxblood Black shoes because blue is a very versatile color tray sometimes I also wear ox blood with my Gray suit. I just do not like when you mix suede with leather and the two-tone stuff. In my opinion that’s fashion forward if anything
