    You are spot on regarding slim fit jeans. About three years ago, I was in a store looking for jeans. The young saleswoman asked if I wanted to try slim fit and I immediately said no, thinking she meant skinny jeans. She suggested trying a pair of regular cut and a pair of slim fit so I could see the difference. It was amazing! The slim fit jeans eliminated all the bagginess in the rear and thighs, tapered beautifully and to my surprise were very comfortable, i.e., not tight at all. I was sold on them immediately and when I told her how amazed I was, she said one of the most difficult things is getting men to even try slim fits on.
    One last comment: regarding shirts, have a few nice button-up shirts that you can take to a local laundry/dry cleaner and have them done for you (always ask for them on hangers!) Then keep those in your closet, ready to go for when you are going out to dinner, etc. It doesn't cost that much and it really stands out when your shirt has a nice crisp look.

    Saw a nicely dressed woman with her significant other at a decent restaurant. He was in his late 40’s. He was wearing ripped jeans and a tee shirt that barely covered his belly. I actually felt bad for her.
    Oh well these guys make it crazy easy for us to stand out.
    The shoes is spot on. Women love shoes. What do you think they look like at? Answer … YOUR SHOES.

      I agree to some extent. However, I prefer to wear decent jeans and t-shirts (in warm weather) based on my own personal tastes in places where plenty of others are dressed the same. I dress more modestly in places where others are dressed the same.

    Speaking about finding the right cut or style of jeans, I made a trip into the city and went to the Levis flagship store. I was able to try on a bunch of different styles of jeans and found, for me, the tapered athletic cut was the best fit for me. Now I can order them online with no hassle and know I’m getting my best fit. Well worth the investment of time one time.

    Good advice as always. I see the given up look all the time. I have a co-worker who has: jeans that don't fit, shirts almost threadbare (one of our female co-workers told him to get new shirts!), and the cheapest shoes with holes at the big toe after so many hours of abuse. I don't buy pricey clothes for my job due to the chemical exposures but I do make sure they fit and replace the worn out items asap.

    Stellar as always John, thank you. Wish I'd heard all this as a young man in the 80s. With spring/summer right around the corner, any chance of doing a video all about tanning foam? How best to use it, what are good and bad foams, how to not look orange, how to apply it evenly (how do you do your back?), any side effects, can you still burn with it on, how long does it last, does it make your skin oily or smelly? I'd wager I'm not the only paleface out here wondering this stuff but don't know who to ask lol.

    I'm addicted to those Anson belts - I have five buckles and six belts. I really like the black invincibelt in woven with a gunmetal buckle. The Owner used to have giveaways on Facebook, and he showed that combo once. Stunning. I also have that blue-and-white striped one, and I've gotten quite a few compliments on that. The only problem is that some of the pictures aren't so accurate on the website. I have an olive one that's lighter than the pic., and I have a graphite nylon that's darker than expected. I might have to go with that gray one that you have pictured at 3:58.

  • @BrianRakowski-c7x
    @BrianRakowski-c7x 6 месяцев назад +2

    Great video, John. Couldn't agree with you more. The baggy loose fit has got to go. That style of fit probably goes back as far as the 80s and maybe in the 90s as well. Some people get stuck in a fashion trend from back when they were in high school. The only time I'm wearing a t-shirt is when doing yard work house cleaning or going for a hike. Speaking of Anson belts I had a 20 dollar gift card they'd given me and I used it to buy one of there belt hangers. So I paid only paid 4.99 plus shipping for it. Have a good day John.

    Until I lost 40+ pounds, the very of idea of buying & wearing “SLIM FIT” anything would’ve sounded like a miserable prospect. Now? Bro, that’s the first thing I look for when shopping for new gear. Tried on a pair of pants that I liked & found the fit too lose so when I inspected the pants closer, I saw yep, “REGULAR FIT”. Put those pants right back.

    Not lying, Fred Durst was an inspiration for me to dress a bit smarter in my early 20's. Mainly due to the girl I was dating at the time said, dressing like that in your 40's is such a turn off. First I corrected her that he was only 29 - 30 (bad mistake lol), but it stuck. Every time I saw an older guy that dressed a bit like him (big baggy shorts, a bad tshirt thats been around the block a few times, baseball cap worn with the peek at the back or sneakers thats really meant for teenagers) all I saw was a Fred Durst and my girlfriend saying "Turn off" and pulling a funny face. It made me steer away from such garments. Not saying I suited up, just dressed more buttoned up with staple reliable options, like Chukka boots, jeans that fit and Polo's and if I needed a jacket, the good old reliable MA1 green bomber with the orange inner lining (20 odd years on, still might get a new one of them).

  • @thullraven1

    Fit is king. You taught me that years ago. I'm in good shape. I wear T-Shirts and dark wash slim fit jeans as my defaults, but the fit is good. I do wear sandals in the warmer months, but only with fitted shorts and not on dates. I have cargo shorts, but they look nothing like the monstrosities in this video. They are above the knee and fit better. Again, I don't wear them on dates.

    Another great video, as always you are a legend. Do you know anyone that does a good job of review fashionable shoes and boots that are for wider feet? It can be very hard to find nice footwear when you have wider feet. Most of the time I tend to wear less than fashionable footwear sadly for 2 reasons. One hard to find stuff and two, I have two manual shift cars one with a fairly small foot box so easier to just wear what I can drive with.

    Shorts? How about leaving this juvenile piece of clothing to hiking, the beach, etc. No one needs to wear shorts - especially in the U.S. where everyone runs into the AC as soon as the temp rises above 55-degrees. Same goes for sandals and flip-flops especially flip-flops; they're shower attire for crying out loud.

    As someone who did it I can spot people looking tired who wear loose fitting shorts n t shirts even in winter for a reason, men and women. You can spot others that are caring 24 hrs for someone that are wearing a certain outfit/uniform where you are dressed but loose enough to enable you to snatch sleep where you can but dressed enough to jump up in emergency or just when required. Throw on a hoody to run an errand still kicking shorts even in a snowstorm. In A way you have given up or paused your own life as your full attention is in someone else’s life whether it be full time care or palliative care. It’s a look how they dress or carry themselves and a look on their face.

    I live in Florida so there's no way I'm going to stop wearing t-shirts. Plus you see a lot of guys in tank tops here, even old guys. I don't wear those (unless it's under a shirt) at least a t-shirt will always look more presentable than a wife beater.

    • @hejiranyc
      @hejiranyc 6 месяцев назад +1

      I’m in FL too and wear tanks or sleeveless shirts around 75% of the time. In my opinion, if you are in good shape, you can pretty much much wear anything (neat and presentable) and you will always look better than an unfit person dressed to the nines. Clothes, especially in the tropics, need to be practical above all else and I just cannot fathom wearing long pants, socks and closed toe shoes in this climate.

      I too am in Florida. I wear polo shirts or dress shirts to the grocery store or to restaurant. I am always the best dress guy around. Not a high bar.

    Valid points and very good tips! If I could make a suggestion, specifically for this video, it would be better to show you wearing the different outfits you are talking about. Some of us, myself included, are better with visuals than just doing a verbal explanation. Thank you!

    The cargo shorts is spot on! I like cargo shorts, but I'm trying to get them now where they're at least 1 to 2 inches above my knee now and not that wide! I've looked at some old pictures of myself in the 'traditional' cargo shorts, and even at 6' 2.5", It made my long legs look too short! Not a good look at all!

    For a more advanced rule of sartorial style, match your belt to your trousers. This creates a seamless transition from your shirt to your trousers, instead of wearing a belt that contrasts and looks like a line that cuts you in half around the middle. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I have still got the baggy cargo shorts from 20 years ago!!! I love them and cannot imagine getting rid of them. Big legs necessitate the need for shorts like these!

    John, great content today. You cannot stress the fundamentals too much.

    Question, so I just bought a navy pair of sneakers and I have the Anson Belt with the navy and red stripe... Would they work together or is the red throw off the matching too much?

      Yeah, I think it could work really well! I have the same one, but I wear the blue and white stripe belt more often.

    This is all so true, "the guy that gave up on life". That hit home, and thank you for being honest. There's a lot to reflect on here.
