Congratulations! You just graduated college, maybe high school, maybe grad school, maybe
you're leaving the military. In any case, you're a young man looking to make an impact
on the world. And, you're looking at all these fashion, image, and style stuff and you're
asking does it really matter, what what do I need to know, what's important?
Well, in today's video, I've got ten tips for you on how you can use fashion and style
to get what you want out of life.
Tip number one. Have confidence believe in yourself.
I know, I'm not going to start off talking about jackets and shirts and all of
those other stuff because all of that is window dressing if you don't believe in where you're
going and who you are and what you stand for. Understand, you've got to have a strong base
you've got to have a direction. Find a mentor, find a direction, find a purpose.
And I understand, it may take a while to do this, but go forward with confidence because
nothing sends a signal of strength and attracts people than a man who is confident, a man
who believes and has something that he stands for.
Tip number two. Understand that image and presentation is a lot more important than
colleges or your friends or family have led you to believe. And for a lot of people this
is a hard one to swallow because they really want to believe that what's in our heart and
what's in our head is the most important thing and I'm not going to argue with that.
I have four children, I want I mean I truly focus in on these things, but we make split
second decisions about people every day the vast majority of people based off of what
we see. We never get the chance to actually find out what how smart they are or how good
of a person they are. We have to make a snap judgment decision and oftentimes in business
you will not even have opportunities come your way because you're simply are not given
the chance if you don't look the part. You start to realize, okay, like I am going to
either use these rules and you're free to reject them. But, understand if you do that
you're going to be fighting an uphill battle. I'm a big fan of actually working within a
system and then getting to the top and then trying to change it.
All right, guys. So, at this point I want to bring in the paid sponsor of this video,
Vincero watches. I've talked about this company before. You guys know I love this company.
Over the last eighteen months I've been wearing their watches. In fact, when I travelled the
world, I took this watch with me right here. Look at these beautiful watches and look at
the different styles from the Marble Collection. Have you guys gone over and looked at that
Italian marble and everything that they've got going on over there?
Now, my favorite collection is the Chronos Collection, but I want to hear from you guys
down in the comments. What is your favorite particular style? If I have extras, I love
to send them your way, but you've got to be specific, you got to tell me the exact style.
The exact type of watch. Now, for me I love Chrono S in silver gold. I also like the Chrono
S in blue black, but there's many different watches to choose from.
And look at the details. If you go in there and you look at the specs in on the watches,
316L surgical grade stainless steel, you're going to see the sapphire coated mineral crystal
glass which basically makes it scratch resistant. You're going to see that they're using a beautiful
Italian leather watch strap. It's about 22 mm wide. Other important things to note, free
worldwide shipping. Also, look at the reviews. Guys, you can go in there and see real reviews
from men just like you who are talking about how they love these watches.
And I get notes all the time. People talking about how they got this watch and they're
like, Antonio, I knew you said great things about this company, but I wasn't expecting
it to be so nice especially at the price point. I'm going to link to Vincero down in the description.
Go click on that link and use the discount code I'm putting down there so you can get
the best possible deal.
Tip number three. Fit is king. Gentlemen,
understand the style pyramid. I talk about fit, function, and fabric. I'm not going to
get into fabric and function. If you want more, I go into that over at Real Men Real Style.
But, I am going to say if it doesn't fit you, don't buy it. Don't even take it
if it's free because if it doesn't fit you, it will never look good.
Now, if it's a little bit big, yes, you can get it fitted to adjust. And I do recommend
you know the name of your tailor and you take everything to him or her to get it adjusted.
But, if you can't get it adjusted to fit you, if you're not going to get it adjusted to
fit you, then don't even bother with it because if clothing doesn't fit on you, it doesn't
look good. If it's too tight, it just makes you look really bad. If it's too loose, it
makes you look like you're wearing your big brother's clothing and it just makes you look
smaller. It never compliments you. So many people wear clothing that's two sizes
too big. So, find clothing that fits you. How to do that? I've got plenty of infographics
over at Real Men Real Style. Talk about how a shirt should fit, how a suit should fit,
how other details how trousers should fit. Understand gentlemen, that fit right off the
rack whenever you're buying something pay attention to that because if you nail it,
you're going to look better and you're going to feel better about your wardrobe and your
clothing.
Tip number four. Ignore fashion trends. Don't
try to follow the whimsical winds of fashion. You're not going to be able to keep up, you're
going to spend a lot of money and you're going to end up with a wardrobe which is going to
be outdated very quickly. Instead, look at classic men style. One of the things I recommend
is look at older pictures that a man is wearing something maybe like Steve McQueen, maybe
James Dean and say, wow, I like his look and then realize that's a fifty-year old picture,
that's a seventy-year old picture. And if what they're wearing there still would work
today, that's a classic item. Now, I list down a number of classic items
over at Real Men Real Style, but classic button-downs, a classic well-fitted suit, a classic sports
jacket, a classic leather jacket, well-fitted jeans. Don't fall into, okay, everyone seems
to be wearing skinny thighs, everyone seems to be wearing, you know, that fit of particular
jeans that is maybe a little bit tight or is a little bit short. Be very careful with
those things because, yes, you may look good this season, but next year you're going to
find that, hey, it's out it out it's out of fashion and all of sudden you've got that
sitting and taking up space in your closet.
Tip five. Take care of your clothing.
I do recommend that you educate yourself.
You find out, okay, how to treat stains immediately,
how to properly wash and dry certain types of clothing that are made from luxury materials
such as wool such as silk and understanding that you have to treat these things with care.
Ideally though you'll start to build up a wardrobe which I like to stick with cottons
I like to stick with a little bit rough things that can take a little bit of a rougher beating.
And then I like to wear them again and again because what you want is something that you
can wear a hundred times before it wears out.
Tip number six. Own a quality suit that fits you well.
Let me go into a little bit more detail here. A suit is a jacket and a pair
of trousers made from the same fabric. You want to go with something that is classically
been in style for the last fifty years. So, you're going to look at notch lapels, you're
going to look at something that, you know, that has the right length that just barely
covers your buttocks, isn't too short isn't way too long.
Other little things you want to make sure that, you know, you get rid of that tack stitching.
So, open up the breast pocket over on the vents, make sure that those aren't still sewed
together. If you still got a tag right here, make sure to take that off. Make sure it fits
you well, so every year you're going to want to make sure and put it on, look at yourself
in the mirror and say, okay, do I need to take this to get adjusted.
Now, other things that go with the suit, you want to have a light-colored dress shirt.
We're talking white preferably, but light blue will work as well. Then, you want to
look at going with simple ties and we're talking a solid maybe in a burgundy maybe in a dark
blue maybe in a dark green. All of those are going to be fine or you can go with small
repeating pattern. Just make sure it's not really attention grabber because here is why
you need a suit; someone's going to get married, someone's going to die, something is going
to happen. You may get recognized in your company for a top award and in those moments
when you want to feel and look like a million bucks,
that's when your suit is going to pay dividends.
Tip number seven. Quality over quantity.
So if you've got a closet with tons of clothing,
but you have nothing to wear, understand that
you've got a quantity problem not a quality problem.
Ideally you start to build a wardrobe
that is interchangeable and everything in there is something that you love when you
put on. I'm looking at this outfit that I just threw
together and I'm like, man, I love this suede jacket. This one all egregious works for me
and I looked at this shirt, I picked it up and I I love this color. Then, I'm looking
at the dark-colored jeans I have, I've got these shoes right here, I just love the way
this all falls together. And this is my wardrobe that I've built up over time and it's something
that I love it, but I've really focused in on the quality aspect of my wardrobe not the
quantity. So, now I own less, everything works together
and whenever I get dressed I feel great.
Tip number eight. Get rid of the clothing
which is distressed which is torn which is stained and you want to start to upgrade especially
your leg wear, your jeans. This is something that a lot of guys they stick with those light-colored
jeans or maybe they've got something distressed. Your legs aren't something that you normally
want to draw attention to in an outfit. It's an area which we're going to look up and down,
it should bring the outfit together, but it's not going to draw attention in and of itself.
So, you want to start bringing in a pair of nice dark-colored slacks, maybe look at some
chinos, get some if you want to stick with jeans, try some dark well-fitted jeans something
that's going to and maybe bring them a little bit sizing down just a bit, I'm not talking
skinny, but I am talking maybe a slimmer or a straight cut. But, you know that big baggy
stuff you want to avoid especially in the light colors and don't wear carpenter jeans
unless you're a carpenter.
Tip number nine. Level up your footwear.
So, if you're still wearing running shoes and you're not going running,
then really rethink that
there's so many different options out there for shoes and it is one of the things
that people make a quick judgment on. I've talked about this in other videos, but people
look at status they judge your wealth, they judge your position in society sometimes based
off your footwear. I know, it sounds crazy and people shouldn't
do that, but they do. They look down and they make a quick assessment. And why not send
a signal that, yeah, I'm somebody worth talking to, I'm somebody that's going places, I'm
somebody that you want to engage with.
Tip number ten. Throw out the t-shirts and
the hoodies. Now, I'm not going to be that extreme, but I will say that if you've got
a lot of graphic tees that are way too big, if you've got a lot of hoodies that have all
types of messages on them that are not very professional, understand that, yeah, you may
be wearing that in your off time, but if you run into your boss or you run into your boss
boss who was looking at you for a promotion, he may have second thoughts.
And, I'm not saying that you need to be wearing a suit on your off time, but you can upgrade
that, there are actually some very nice well put together hoodies. But, why not look at
some nice button-downs, why not look at polo shirts, why not look at long sleeve polos,
why not look at some really nice sweaters
which are going to functionally do the same job.
Actually, if you make sure they fit you properly they're going to look great and when
you run into your boss's boss he's going to look at you and say, you know what? I think
Mike is ready for that promotion. I want you guys to succeed. And one of the
things that I push here at Real Men Real Style is for you to be able to use clothing as a
weapon to get what you want out of life. Go check out Vincero. I'm going to link to them

you in the next video.
