Oh my gosh, you outdid yourself. I’ve been critical of your videos in the past, but your outfits are some of the best of I’ve ever seen you put together in this! So great!
I'm a nasty, picky old man, but I must say, these videos always bring me back. It's nice to settle down and watch a solid video on men's fashion after spending the day fighting tractors out in the field.
This is my favorite style to wear. Unfortunately, the people I work with behave as if I’m wearing a tuxedo because they’re wearing their superhero t-shirts, shorts and flip flops. I’m not kidding. 😒
Me too. If you ask my opinion, flip-flops look bad on anyone. Doesn't matter if your a guy, woman, or something else. One teacher at my school wears sport shirts, sport shorts and the worst part of his outfit, flip-flops. 😒
Bukson Oh, that’s already happened, but some people still have the occasional reaction. What they don’t realize, I think, is that the reason they think I’m so overdressed is because they are so UNDERDRESSED.
I think business casual strikes a good middle ground in the modern world, even for everyday stuff. That's my typical level of dress so I look smart but not like I am attending a fancy ball.
@@karsonmccarbe5263 You do you. People will always try to change you to their level. It’s an evolutionary reaction when someone stands out from the herd. Be who you want to be, not what they think you should be.
Honestly, I hardly use more than two colors for my outfits, I think it helps to look less "aggressive" to others eyes. It's my opinion, my thing. Anyway, nice job! Thumbs up!
Hey Raphael can you do a video on casual but classic dressing for men. Clothes we can wear in a hot climate such as India where even seersuckers are a bad idea.
How about linen in a loose weave? Silk or silk-linen blend? With humidity, airflow is crucial, as you know. So, unstructured and unlined jackets are cooler. I would even go so far as removing any unnecessary fabric in trousers, such as back pockets. Hope this helps.
Lots of people will talk about open weave and light weight fabrics. I would also take a shot at wearing your jackets shorter than most. You can also look for jackets with deeper V cuts . It will really help with keeping the sun off while allowing maximum ventilation. My seersucker suit works great here in Texas when it’s over 40c and sunny. But it’s much less humid and the wetness makes seersucker a lot less effective in my experience.
So glad to see seersucker making its way back into the office. I was just in a department head meeting for a major city in Texas and saw not 1 but 2 seersucker suits or combinations.
Why did this have to come out after I just had an interview that was business casual? 😑 love your videos Raphael! It's gentlemen like you helping out people like me in being better dressed
Great business casual ideas, Raphael. Here are some additional ideas. 1) Pick your watch and other jewelry carefully. I suggest not wearing a dress or dive watch for business casual. The dress watch is too formal and the dive watch too casual. Rather wear something with three hands (hour, minutes, seconds), a metal bracelet, and a day date complication. 2) I don't recommend wearing a ring unless it is a wedding ring. 3) Keep the belt conservative. For example, wear a solid black, brown, or shoe-matching color belt with a buckle that matches your watch band. Just some ideas to consider :-)
Yes, especially the woven belt, which is a great casual look. I generally only wear fabric belts in social settings. However, if you're comfortable with it, go for it :-)
Great video. However, I'd like to make a question regarding business outfit. My father works as a lawyer and he loves elegant and stylish clothing, however, working as an attorney in a big city, he constantly has the need to move a lot, also, like most big cities, he takes the public transport a lot, and cannot take the risk of moving by car because of the traffic, and as any attorney, he must always be punctual. My question is, which kind of suit should he wear that is still formal and elegant but easy to maintain and resistant to the constant movement and atmosphere of a big city, without risking it getting stained or sweating it too much? What would you recommend?
Hello, sir, I would suggest a cotton suit, Haspel is a great brand to check out and they're currently having a half off sale. They can generally be washed delicately in a machine and I've had set in stains come right out of my jackets with Woollite detergent. They are also light weight and come in a variety of styles and colors. I hope this helps. Seersucker would be best for anti wrinkle but it's not as formal.
Some of Sven’s videos can veer towards “self-indulgent dandyism” that’s difficult to pull off in the average office job (or let’s be honest, in *public* unless you have zero f’s to give about others’ opinions), but this is all solid, _usable_ material with strong options across a range of “business casual” styles. Kudos.
Loving the video. I have to wear business casual, at work, so always like a little inspiration. Also with the fall coming I can pull out my tweed again.
For those of you who are interested, Simon Crompton of Permanent Style has loads of outfits which could be considered business casual on his blog, I highly recommend checking it out
Any suggestions on “work wear” dress? I’d like to see tips for the foremen on job sites type of clothing. I’m looking for something more than just a flannel shirt and blue jeans.
Hello, Raphael! I have a video suggestion. I think a video about what clothes to pack while traveling on vacation where you'll be asked to walk a lot as a tourist would be interesting. Cheers!
I have heard, might have been Rafael, first dress pant is a grey wool. Then go by this video and others, navy, brown, and kaki/sand/stone pants. BTW, since you are starting out, look into proper high rise dress pants. I discovered by accident and way more comfortable having pants sit on the natural waist and some people like me no longer need a belt as the hips hold the pants up. If too much, there is a mid rise option. Hope this helps.
I have 4 pairs of slacks already and each pair I have gotten made a bit different to see what I like. I have one pair that feels like I am wearing sweat pants (mid-light grey) but I don't wear them at my natural waist, I wear them much lower. I am not sure why but wearing things at my natural waist feels wrong and often makes things look very disproportional. I have a pair of mid-light grey, navy blue, khaki, and a black/white checker pants.
Can say from 28 years of wearing low rise, took time getting used to. I wear jackets and sweaters (sometimes both) even in the Summer, so can see how this addresses the extra height, never thought about that before, thank you. Mid rise sit between the hips and natural waist, so is that what you mean? There once was a study done on where men's pants sit at certain ages, and it is a curve, going from high rise as a child, to low rise as a teen and young adult, to high rise after about 50.
Different strokes for different folks. Just sounded like you were just starting out, never bought dress pants, and just wanted to help avoid the mistakes I made. Cheers!
Could you do something on siren suits? They're a more classic item of clothing that I got made custom for myself, they're incredibly practical and stylish with a touch of British class.
Hello Raphael! I really wonder what you think about bowler hats. I never saw a picture where you wore one. Do you own one, and could you please make a video about it? Grüße aus Franken Greetings from Franconia
These outfits are only suitable if you work in a fridge and need to stay warm. But most office environments are heated to about 30 degrees C (summer temperature) so linen trousers and a polo shirt are FAR more practical and functional.
Raphael glad you have came out with very important topic. I have request you earlier to create a video about Safari Suit/jacket. Your response would be more appreciated. Thanking you.
Raphael, I sometimes see photos of gentlemen, mainly back in the thirties, wearing a double breasted suit with a matching, or occasionally an odd, waistcoat. Is this correct to do today, and if so what are/where the reasons for it?
Great video as always, much appreciated. Are you able to suggest a boutonnière from your shop to wear with a black tie ensemble (that would also work with slightly more casual suits)? Many thanks.
On that case you can see that the jacket is a riding-type jacket, so the bottom button is over the belt level, and that makes it look weird not to be buttoned. Sven made a whole video on buttoning, and he explains it.
This is amazing. Great guide. I thought you could maybe do a bowler guide next? Anyway, great suits. Amazing ideas. I wear a lot of business clothes after finding your channel. I used to wear a lot of printed tees and hoodies. After I found this channel I changed my wardrobe around. The most "casual" outfit in my wardrobe now is jeans, sneakers, fedora, and a dress shirt. This channel is amazing. What's funny is that compared to more popular channels your content is way better. Amazing work Sven, I love this channel. Edit: Is your name Sven or Raphael? I want to say Sven but in all the comments I see Raphael.
Sven is his first name and Raphael Schneider is his last name. Either that or Raphael is his middle name but I am pretty sure he has a two name last name.
In your casual wear video, you said that a t-shirt should not show as it cheapens the look. What authority are you referencing for that comment? Thanks and I am enjoying your videos
While you're "technicially" right that this is business casual. In the the modern context this is simply business, and you will be seen as over dressed.
amazing that this is stating the obvious , when ever someone is wearing a pair of khaki trousers and an open collared shirt and a non matching blazer it's casual attire , again the 60's 70's 80's and 90's till now
If you ask me, if you want to go with anything jacket you may as well go full dress clothes. In my opinion, people with a T-shirt, jeans and then a blazer just look odd. If you wear a jacket, it looks a lot better with at least a dress shirt.
Oh my gosh, you outdid yourself. I’ve been critical of your videos in the past, but your outfits are some of the best of I’ve ever seen you put together in this! So great!
I’ve always loved corduroy as far back as I can remember. It’s like a painting at a museum.

This is very relatable, I’m a just a teenager I want to just dress with shirt and chinos, but my parents think it’s too formal

Hey Raphael can you do a video on casual but classic dressing for men. Clothes we can wear in a hot climate such as India where even seersuckers are a bad idea.
Regarding the fact that seersucker originated from India, I’m surprised that even that is too hot for the climate there.
i agree, but because of the excess pollution specially in Ahmedabad it is useless and insulates rather than serve its purpose
How about linen in a loose weave?
Silk or silk-linen blend?

When it gets to a point where it's HOT, no kind of clothes work. Your only option is turning the air conditioner on hahaha

I'm incredibly envious of Rafael's vest collection!

Savvy Life Strategies in spring and summer, one could opt for a woven belt or even a fabric belt.
Yes, especially the woven belt, which is a great casual look. I generally only wear fabric belts in social settings. However, if you're comfortable with it, go for it :-)
A navy blazer and tan chinos is probably my favourite business outfit 👌

Medium weight cotton, Wool gabardine or high twist wools suits. Any of those, ideally not super structured.
