You know, 18 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: I have to say this kind of stuff, but you 19 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: have like it's so embarrassed, she's so modest, but she's 20 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: really the best. Thanks obvious, Slee Justin, Tim really, Chris Pratt, Roblo, 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: lots of other guys. But so we I get questions 22 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: all the time because I address men too, and people 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: are always like, what are your tips? So I thought, okay, 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: I need to bring in Anny. We need to just 25 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: have a full one conversation about this. So what do 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: you keep in mind, like when you're addressing a guy, 27 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: Let's say, because you obviously have a specific style, which 28 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: is why people come to you. But what if you 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: what if a guy comes to you and he's got 30 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: a totally different style than what your vibe is, what 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: do you how do you do that? Well? I think 32 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: it's part of our job to identify what's going to 33 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: work best on that particular client. And I'm sort of 34 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: known for making guys look kind of classic, and you know, 35 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm all about the tailoring. And you know, if you 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: want something like a bit more flamboyant or kind of 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: crazier out there, it's not really what I do, right, 38 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: but um, but you have to have a good fit 39 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: with your clients, and I have a great fit with 40 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: all of my regular clients, Thank goodness. I've never really 41 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: been in a situation where, you know, I was at 42 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: a loss, like I just cannot dress this person were 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: too different, you know, yeah, Like you're just not gonna 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: get paired with guys like that, probably not like people 45 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: hiring me based on my work. So you know, if 46 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: you want like the sort of perfectly fit suit that's 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: super flattering on you, and you maybe want like a 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: Steve McQueen style vintage situation happening, and that's definitely something 49 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: I get um hired for. Ye don't you have a 50 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: challenge to Yeah, I'd love to do things different, you know, 51 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: more outside of the box. I mean, and like someone 52 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: like Justin for instance, he pushes the boundaries a lot 53 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: more than some of my other clients who just you know, 54 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: want like a slick, sleek kind of sheep. He looks 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: cheek as well, but you know, sometimes he wants to 56 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: do something a little more fashion forward and that's really 57 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: fun for me. He'll do a little more like hip 58 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: hoppy type. Yeah, and he's a musician, right, so it's 59 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: a little different when I'm dressing actors. I addressed mostly 60 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: actors for when they're promoting a movie or you know, 61 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: um yeah, usually it's when they're promoting a movie or 62 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: TV show or something, and so they just want to 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: look like the best version of themselves. But when you're 64 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: dressing someone who's a pop star, you know they have 65 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: a lot more freedom to be a little more showy 66 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: or they're also kind of setting a lot of the trends. 67 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: A lot of times. You do that with him, and 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: that's really fun and he has amazing instincts and really 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: great taste and we have a lot of fun like 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: coming up with stuff. Don't you feel like like when 71 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: I think about the way you Jessica, I feel like 72 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: your thing is like you make dudes look like dudes. 73 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: Thank you. You always joke and you're like, it's just 74 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: because if I was a dude, this is how I 75 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: would want to address um. You guys can't see us 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: right now, but I dress like a dude. I'm wearing 77 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: a hoodie and if I do say so, myself, perfectly 78 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: Warren jeans and that's again not to brag, but my 79 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: boots are also perfectly worn. Your boots are amazing and 80 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: I actually bought my boyfriend the same boots. I'm wearing 81 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: red Wing Boo boots, which are a really amazing brand 82 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: that's been around for over a hundred years. And I 83 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: just love stuff like that, the classic stuff that really well, 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: that never goes out of style. The more you wear it, 85 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: the better it looks. You know, same thing with my 86 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: jeans up and wearing them pretty much every day for 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: like eight years, but they're always good, good on happy 88 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: day and in every occasion. Okay, Well, since you're such 89 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: a classic dresser, would you tell everyone about some staples, 90 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: because this is the question that I get most from people. 91 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: It's probably like, as a guy, what do I need 92 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: to have in my closet? What are the staples that 93 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: I need? Well? I think obviously everyone has different needs 94 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: based on their job, or their lifestyle or budget or 95 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: you know, where they live climate wise. You know, everyone 96 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: has different needs. But I'm there's a few things that 97 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: everybody could use. So find yourself a T shirt that 98 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: fits you? Well, Now, how do you do that? Take 99 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: a look at yourself and you want to find something 100 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: that compliments your physique. If you're like a skinnier, you know, 101 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: if you're the type that works out a lot and 102 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: you're thin and you have you know, a good body 103 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: quote unquote. You know, if if you think you're physically fit, 104 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: you want to wear a T shirt that's a little 105 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: thinner that's going to show your body and um, you know, 106 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: something that's tighter to to your body. But what do 107 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: you say tight? Let's talk about that because like I 108 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: know you and I know what you mean, but you 109 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: don't mean like Jersey Shore. Like, I'm not talking like spandex. 110 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: I prefer a dent cotton personally. Get a little polly 111 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: Blend in there if you want. Okay, a little polly 112 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: blend and those actually last a little longer. But yeah, 113 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: when I say fitted, I mean something that like doesn't 114 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: have to be like, you know, a leotard, right, but 115 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: something that is you know, there's not a lot of 116 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: space between the fabric and your body. Here's what I'm 117 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: going to describe it as. Okay, let's think Brad Pitt. Yes, 118 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: maybe we could go Legends of the Fall Brad Pitt. 119 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: But I also just watched Once upon a Time in 120 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: Hollywood last night. My friend designed the costumes from that 121 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: movie Phillip. She did amazing. I mean, he looks amazing 122 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: the whole movie. His clothes are Actually I'm meant to 123 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: text you this last night because his clothes were my favorite. 124 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: It was just like a classic Levi's and T shirt 125 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: best look for a dude if you ask me that 126 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: she could possibly have. But he nails the T shirt. 127 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: Look it's like you can see his muscles through it, 128 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: but it's not like overly gross in your face, like, hey, 129 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: let's go gt L Jim right, is that what Jim? 130 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: I watched Jersey Shore? Okay, I loved it. Would you 131 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: not say that's a good description of the T shirt 132 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: you're talking about the Brad Pitt Yes, oh yeah. And actually, 133 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, even if you don't have you know, a 134 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: quote unquote great physics, well let's talk about that. So 135 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: if you don't what you suggestion, wear a T shirt 136 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: that fits like, it's actually less like sometimes guys who 137 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: you know maybe have a gut or there or beer belly, 138 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: or you know, they're just a bigger guy. In general, 139 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: sometimes guys feel like I need to wear something bigger 140 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: to hide it, but ends up making you look even 141 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: bigger and it's not so flattering you're saying when they 142 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: buy over and it kind of like tents out. Yeah, 143 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: it's better to just like, if you're a bigger guy 144 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: and you're trying to hide maybe some imperfections, get a 145 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: T shirt that's a thicker fabric, okay, like m Jay 146 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: Cruise a good example. They have lots of different kinds 147 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: of T shirts. They have from the very thin kind 148 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: of Brad Pitt body huggy T shirts too, T shirts 149 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: that are excuse me, a thicker material, so they're just 150 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: more flattering, they're not so excuse me, body conscious. Yeah. 151 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: Um so if you if you get like a thicker fabric, 152 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot more flattering, but you 153 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: can still have it a little tighter to your body, 154 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: maybe not tight, maybe not like Brad Pitt, right right, 155 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: but um, but you should try to wear something that 156 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: isn't three sizes too big for you. That's a common 157 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 1: thing I see with guys in general, is just not 158 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: really knowing exactly how close should fit there, just saying 159 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: like this fits. I mean, this is my poor boyfriend. Sorry, 160 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: but this is something we battle with all the time 161 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: because I'm teaching him about clothes that actually fit his body. 162 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: Like he does not understand that because dudes just want 163 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: to be comfortable, right, you just want to be comfortable, 164 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: and I think that they get a little self conscious 165 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: when they're wearing something that actually fits properly. Yeah, like 166 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: they're trying too hard. I don't want to They're trying. 167 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: They don't want to look like who I'm trying to 168 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: be hip, especially guys who are, you know, middle aged. 169 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: Yeah I'm not saying, but if he is, if he 170 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: was the purposes of this podcast, he could be close 171 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: to middle age hypothetically, okay, um yeah. And I think 172 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: also like guys who maybe don't feel so as good 173 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: about their bodies, they also have a tendency to try 174 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: and drown it out with clothing that's too big. But 175 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: actually you look so much more um in shape even 176 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: if you're not. If you total, if you are wearing 177 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: like a Chino that's not baggy and a T shirt 178 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: thats fits you, that's maybe like a thicker fabric. It's 179 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: a much better look. It's way more flattering. The thicker 180 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: fabric is such a good tip. I haven't even thought 181 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: about that for older guys too, you know, Yeah, so 182 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: a thicker fabric. T let's go to China because you 183 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: just brought that up.

You could put it with sneakers and like 189 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: a denim jacket and have a casual look. You could 190 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: put boots on and a blazer and that's kind of 191 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: like business casual. You can put a leather jacket, you know. 192 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean, there's like so many things you can do 193 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: if you just have that initial base.

This is the things we get 221 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: off on every here. It's my favorite part. Honestly, My 222 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: job is when people are like so happy with the 223 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: way that they look and they give me this look like, 224 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: oh my god, thank you. And I just love to 225 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: make people I feel like the best version of themselves. 226 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: Kelly is about to start crying. She's a lot of 227 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: hormone she's extremely emotional right now. It is true though, 228 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: it is such a gift of our job. Okay, so 229 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: we've talked about T shirts, Chino's chest and jeans, the 230 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: Chino and the gene. I mean as far as the fit, 231 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: I think that's a place that maybe you could give 232 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: a little inside as well. Yeah. Well, and also like 233 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: color wise, what do you mean, Um, you want to 234 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: get something that's going to suit your lifestyle, Like if 235 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: you're in an office every single day, maybe you want 236 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: to invest in a couple of different pair of khaki pair, 237 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: a dark gray pair black. You know, it's good to 238 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: have once you find the fit that you like. Yeah, 239 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: you could get it on every color. Yeah. And then jeans, 240 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: of course they're super subjective and you have to find 241 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: the one that's right for you. But again, just give 242 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: it a chance and try something that's maybe a little 243 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: slimmer then you're used to, and you might like it. 244 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: You probably will. And I've watched you do this a 245 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: lot with darks because you also dressed darks. And he 246 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: will put on a pair of pants and be like, Annie, 247 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm never wearing this, And he's like trying to lunch 248 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: and he like, can't move and then that literally always 249 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: becomes his favorite pair of jeans because once they get 250 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: worn in, you know, it's that first initial try on 251 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: is a little tight. Maybe that's a good thing to 252 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: bring up. I always tell my clients when they're trying 253 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: on something that's like a little too tight initially, I say, 254 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: just do a couple of deep knee bends, right, do 255 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: some deep knee bends, do some squats, just a few 256 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: walk around a little bit, just get used to the feeling. 257 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: See what happens after. Reserve judgment for like fifteen minutes. Yes, 258 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: because that's the case with most guys pants is they're 259 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: gonna stretch out a little bit, and you know, you 260 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: can always, um find a I prefer jeans that don't 261 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: have stretched in them. Personally, for myself, A lot of 262 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: guys prefer if a gene has some elastic in it. 263 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's helpful. Um It just even if it's not 264 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: a super tight gene. If even if it's just a 265 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: slim gene, if it has a little elastic in it, 266 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it does, but it maybe just 267 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: feels a little more comfortable. Um. And then as far 268 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: as jeanes go, I think it's good to have one 269 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: dark den and pair which you can wear at night 270 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: or you know, to a nice dinner, or if you 271 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: know you need to look a little more dressed up, 272 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: you could wear dark jeans with a dress boot or 273 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: something and put a blazer on and you could wear 274 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: that too many many events. Yeah, you know. Um, and 275 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: then maybe just like a lighter, more casual Jane for 276 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: daytime chilling. What about a button down? Where do you 277 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: stand on this scenario? Where do I stand on it? 278 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean like, what are your yeah, what are your tips? Um? 279 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: Pay attention to the collar size. I'm a big proportioned person. 280 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: If you're a bigger guy, a tall guy, broad shoulders, 281 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: or if you're just a bigger guy in general, you 282 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: don't want to get a shirt that has a little 283 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: teeny tiny collar or like a little teeny tiny plaquet 284 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: that goes in the plaquet is the um the line 285 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: down the front where the buttons are. So you want 286 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: to get a shirt that maybe has you know, a 287 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: plaquet that's not less than a nich or something. And 288 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: if you're a skinny guy, a slim whether you're tall 289 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: or short or whatever, you can go for a a 290 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: smaller collar, a skinnier plaquet, you know, so you just 291 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: want to put it on and kind of look at 292 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: the proportion. You can your body type, your head size, 293 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: your shoulders. Like you can tell when something is off. 294 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: So just pay attention to that. And let's talk about 295 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: suits because a lot of these men, I mean, that 296 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: would be a staple and a lot of guy's closets. 297 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: I think, I think every guy should have one.

That's the other thing. 328 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: You want to also have a pair of dress shoes. 329 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: And again, if you're only going to have one, just 330 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: get a nice pair of black dress shoes. And again 331 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: you could get a nice pair of shoes for forty dollars, 332 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: or you can get a nice pair of shoes for 333 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars like anything in between. Um, and again, 334 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: I just if you're going to have these staples, which 335 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: I think you should just go for something classic. Yeah. 336 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: If you're on a roll when you want to get 337 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: a few suits, okay, fine, you get one that maybe 338 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: has like a stripe or or like you know, a 339 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: pattern to it, Like, yeah, go for it. I was 340 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: gonna say too, though, if we're with a suit situation, 341 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: if you, you know, don't feel like investing in a 342 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: ton of different suit colors, a tie is a great 343 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: way to like spice things up. And so I think 344 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: a lot of guys probably already know that trick. But 345 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be a wild suit. Like stick 346 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: with a classic and then you can totally make You 347 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: can make a black suit look a lot of different 348 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: ways if you style it differently. You can add a 349 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: coot tie, you can out a pocket square, you can 350 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: do it even Yeah, totally okay. I asked some of 351 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: my listeners for questions today on my Instagram at about said, 352 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: um so this kind of fits in with our suit conversation. 353 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: Someone said, how do you find a good blazer that 354 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: can be worn with jeans and dress pants? That's a 355 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: good question. That's um, that's tough because a blazer and 356 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: dress pants is like not a suit. I actually don't 357 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: love that look either. To me, it looks a little sloppy. 358 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: I think it's better to do a blazer and dark chinos, Okay, 359 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: or they make dress pants that are like cotton, nice cotton. Um, 360 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a better look because when you do 361 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: a dress pant and a blazer and they're not the 362 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: same fabric, it just looks like a mistake. It looks 363 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: That's what I think. It looks sloppy. Yeah, so I 364 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: would say instead of that again, if you're going to 365 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: have only one blazer, charcole gray, maybe black, because even 366 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: if you have nice gray chinos, you can wear a 367 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: black blazer. Right. Is that dressy enough to think about? Like, 368 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: because I how the situation recently where I without a 369 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: wedding and there was the mix and matching going on, 370 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: and I've wed at a wedding, I'm like, I want 371 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: to suit. I want to see guys in suits. I 372 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: think it's better to just go for the suit and 373 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: you can. You can do a suit without a tie. 374 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: Even yes, I'd like to do an air tie, which 375 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: is just the shirt buttoned all the way up with 376 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 1: no tie. That's a cute look. Yeah okay, Um, this 377 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: comes from Tyler and he says our men's roppers rompers 378 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: actually okay, asking for a friend. Oh, I almost don't 379 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: want to answer this question. To answer it, and I 380 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: want you to answer it honestly, I'm I'm not a 381 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: fan of rompers because there for children. Oh okay, so 382 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: even when I wear one, it's not my favorite look. 383 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: Um wow, in general, it's nothing personal noted. Don't wear 384 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: rompers around any I mean, unless you want to make money. 385 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: They're made for children. Um. I just that look to 386 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: me is just I don't know, I mean a little 387 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: bit again, like look, if it's your look and you 388 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: love it, fine, go for it, you know, but you're 389 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: asking my opinion. So I was just my opinion. I 390 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: love that. It's just my opinion. But if if you 391 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: have a romper and it makes you feel like a 392 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: million bucks, you wear that romper, may I also suggest 393 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: maybe instead a um like Kelly wears these a lot 394 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: like um flight suits. They're like kind of military style jumpsuits. 395 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: Those are my absolute favorite things. I tried on three 396 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: today and they did not fit. It was upsetting. You 397 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: know it's upsetting. Yeah. I love a military style jumpsuit. 398 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: It's the most comfortable thing you will ever wear. It's 399 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: super comfortable, is never going to go out of style. 400 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: It's just kind of like a cool, easy look. I 401 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: never thought about a guy in those. It would that 402 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: be cute. Guy's cute in those? And then you can 403 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: like unbuttoned a little bit more T shirt on your knee. Yeah, 404 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: you can roll up the bottoms where boots. I like 405 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: that super cute. Okay, so Tyler, maybe no Berquet, Tyler. Listen. 406 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: All I can do is tell you what I personally think. 407 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: I support you no matter what you do. Um. Okay. 408 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: This question comes from Reuben and he says, I'm having 409 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: trouble with shoe matching, Like my what what color jeans do? 410 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: My brown shoes go with? What color jeans do? My 411 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: black boots go with black boots go with any gene? 412 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: It also depends on the boot. If it's a dress boot, 413 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: I would go maybe with darker jeans. I mean I 414 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: think darker jeans in general are just dress here. Um, 415 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: if it's like a kind of rugged boot, any any 416 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: anal gene to me? It's I'm such a visual person. 417 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: When I read that question, I was like, I literally 418 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: don't know how to answer that without seeing the pair 419 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: of jeans. Yeah, that's a little bit of a tough 420 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: one to answer because it really depends on the on 421 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: the items. Yeah. Um, but the blue sorry, the brown 422 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: dress shoes. So what he said, Well, he just said boots, 423 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: brown shoes, brown shoes. Again, depends on the brown. If 424 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: it's a lighter brown, you don't want to do a 425 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: dark gene with that because that might look a little clashy. Um, 426 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, lighter brown boot, lighter gene. If it's a 427 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: dark brown, you can go for like a raw Denham 428 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: or a dark Denam Okay, if it's like a chocolate 429 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: brown or darker yeah, okay. Um, do you have any 430 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: favorite places to shop for men who just want well 431 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: fitted clothing? Wait? Do I have say that? Again? Like 432 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: any but they say, what are the best places to 433 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: shop for men who want well fitted clothing? Well that 434 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: I can't really give you one. Go to this place 435 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: because it just depends on the body straight first, No, 436 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, of course, it depends on so 437 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: many things. It depends on your body type. It depends 438 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: on your height, it depends on your taste level, depends 439 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 1: on your budget. Um, yeah, I think it's too broad. 440 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: That's too broad. The other thing that I always depends 441 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: on what good If it's good on you. I think 442 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: that's true. And I also think finding a good tailor 443 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: is a key, especially for guys. Like I use a 444 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: tailor myself all the time, but for all of my 445 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: guy clients, there is not there's not really one brand 446 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: that you could say like, oh, this is gonna fit 447 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: you the best all the time, that cut whatever, and 448 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: so you just get a tailor and make it fit. Yeah, yeah, 449 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: you do. I mean I think that that is probably 450 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: hard for people to wrap their head around. Yeah, you know, 451 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: taking it. You're going to buy something, if you're gonna 452 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: have to get it fitted. Yeah, I mean I think 453 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: a lot of guys would probably need help with that. Yeah, 454 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, to even know what what the clothes would need. 455 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: That's a valid point. Um, But if you find a 456 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: good tailor, they can tell you that's true. Yeah, that's true. Obviously, 457 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: if you find a suit that you like and it's 458 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: you know it, it's pretty good off the rock, you 459 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: always have to go to the tailor and get something adjusted. Sure, 460 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: you know, finding a good tailor. Honestly, just if you 461 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: don't know where to start, you don't know anyone who 462 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: knows a good tailor, you have no clue what to do. 463 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: Just go on Yelp. Yeah, read the reviews. Literally, just 464 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,239 Speaker 1: go on Yelp and find yourself someone. And it might 465 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: take a couple of tries to find someone who makes 466 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: you feel comfortable and who gets what you want, because 467 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: sometimes tailors are opinionated and they think like, oh, it 468 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: should look like this, and the hem should hit you here, 469 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: and you need more break on the bottom of the suit, 470 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: and maybe you don't like that, right, So figure out 471 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: what you like and trying to talk through it with them. 472 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: I do think it can make a difference even with 473 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: like shirts, like the sleeves of men's shirts to me, 474 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: are a huge place that I always see. You know, 475 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: they're either oversized or they can be ill fitting. And 476 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: it's just like that's the easiest fix for a tailor. 477 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: That makes such a huge difference in the way that 478 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: your clothes look. Yeah, it also makes a huge difference, 479 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: like if you're wearing a suit with the button down 480 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: underneath it, if the sleeves are. If there's too much 481 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: volume in the sleeves, it makes the suit sleeves look 482 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: kind of crappy bulky. I mean, if you just you know, 483 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: take some bulk out of the sleeves, it's like a 484 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: whole different situation. Suddenly everything is like laying flat and 485 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: it looks great and you're not even sure what it's 486 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: like magic. Um Okay, do you have any suggestions for 487 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: the best blue jeans for forty plus men who you dress? Rablow? Right? 488 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: So maybe he's a great example because they say, you know, 489 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: we're looking for class but also age appropriate that's still modern, 490 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: like not looking you don't want to look maybe like 491 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: two out of the loop fashion wise, but you're not 492 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: trying too hard either. Do you have anything you want 493 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: to look current, but you don't want to look like 494 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: you're trying hard exactly? Totally get that. Um Again, really 495 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: depends on your budget and on your body type and everything. UM. 496 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: I mean something like a j Crew, like because they 497 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: have so many different styles, or like Levi's are the best. 498 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: Levi's has a cut for everybody and for over forty. 499 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have to wear a dad Jane 500 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: just because you might be a dad or because you're 501 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: over forty, you can still wear a slim jeane. Doesn't 502 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: have to be skinny. You don't want to have to 503 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: look like, you know, one of your kids. Um, but 504 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: you don't have to look like a dad either. You 505 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: can you can look like a stylish dad. So I 506 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: would say, you know, just always go for a slim silhouette. 507 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: Slim silhouette, slim silhouette, not not skinny and not baggy. 508 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: I think Jay Crewe is a great place because it's 509 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, it can be fairly affordable. But also they, 510 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: like you said, they have a lot of different cuts, 511 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: So a slim cut is the way to go. I 512 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: just think slim means something a little bit different to everybody. 513 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: Go for like the slim is silhouette that you're comfortable with. Okay, 514 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: start there and again Levi's makes like every fit. Yeah, 515 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: the five eleven. Levi's a really good gene that I 516 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: use on young guys, guys and everything in between. It 517 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: might be a little skinny for for some people, but 518 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: even the five oh one, I mean they've updated the 519 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: cut on something. You know. They make different styles of 520 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: five oh one that are a little slimmer than the original. 521 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: So there are so many options out there. Just you 522 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: just have to keep trying, bring a friend that you 523 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: trust who has some fashion sense when you go try 524 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: some stuff on, and bring this podcast to the people 525 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: trying that you're you're trying on with, and then Kelly 526 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: and me a d M from the dressing room.

So what are your tips for the 537 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: big and talls out there? Because I think that is it. 538 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: That's a hard place to go, and that's a hard 539 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: place to find cool stuff that still fits. Well. Yeah, 540 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: it's true. I mean even when I see like a big, 541 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: tall guy on the street and he looks stylish. I 542 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: always stop him and say, pready shop because it's it 543 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: is hard even you have a hard time. Yeah, I do. 544 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: But um, a lot of companies are starting to make 545 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: like again top Man, they make clothes for big and 546 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: tall now online. Um, I think ass does too. Yeah, 547 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: so so maybe I'm thinking of As I think has 548 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: a really good tall line. Yeah, they have a really 549 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: good line for tall guys and also big and tall. Um. 550 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: And then like ted Baker is a good um brand 551 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: that I like. They make really really good suits that 552 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: are not expensive, and they also do a good they 553 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: make really good suits for tall guys. I didn't realize 554 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: that that's good. Um, But it just depends on you 555 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: know what you're looking for. What about the casual where 556 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: for tall guys? Casual where it is a tough one? 557 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: Man are out there for these tall guys. Yeah, but again, 558 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: like most of the big brands like Levi's like they 559 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: make you can get any size under the rainbow online. Yeah, 560 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: the link different and stuff. Well that's those are the questions. 561 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: So I mean, hopefully that's helpful to you guys with 562 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: especially the big and talls. At the end, a couple 563 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: of brands I think that, Yeah, I mean people don't 564 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 1: know about those, Yeah, like a Soos, Topman, Ted Baker, 565 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean if you I mean, I could give you 566 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: a lot of like high end brands that I put 567 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: on my clients, but they're pretty pricey. So trying to 568 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: think of things that, um are more within reach for 569 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: a for average person. But most a lot of the 570 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: bigger brands, if you look online, they have big and 571 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: tall sections. You may not find it in the store, 572 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: but you can find it online. Check websites that yeah, 573 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: check your favorite places and stuff. If you had to 574 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: walk go away, Like if you were just met a 575 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: random guy on the street and he was like, what's 576 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: your one tip for me? That is just like if 577 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking in the mirror, what do I need to 578 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: be thinking about? What would you say? Well, again, proportion? 579 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: You know, think about proportion. Guys don't really think about that. 580 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: Like when you put something on, whether it's a T 581 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: shirt or like I said, you know, a button down shirt, 582 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: a jacket. I think I said this on the last 583 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: podcast we did. If you're a big guy, don't wear 584 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: a jacket with like a skinny collar or skinny lapel. 585 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: Y um. And you know, Conversely, if you're a slimmer guy, 586 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: don't wear a jacket that has a huge lapel. It's 587 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: going to be a weird proportion. So, you know, just 588 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: think in a in terms of geometry. You know, you 589 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: want balance when you're when you're getting dressed. You just 590 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: want your outfit to look balance. If something looks like 591 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: it's off balance, it probably is. Yeah, maybe your t 592 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: shirts too long or too short, or the sleep is 593 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: on your shirt aren't hitting your bicep on the right spot. 594 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: You know, and you know you just follow your instinct. 595 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys might say, well, I 596 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: don't have any instincts. You actually do. You'll know if 597 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: it's fitting your own so good fit, classic cuts, portion, 598 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: portion keeping a classic. I think that's a good thing too. 599 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: If you don't have a lot of money to spend 600 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: on clothes, don't buy trendy stuff. Yes, you know, just 601 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: invest your money, Like, get yourself one good pair of boots. 602 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean the red wings that I'm wearing. They're expensive, 603 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: you know, there are three fifty dollars, but they last forever. 604 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: They will replace the souls they do. That's good to know. 605 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: But I also feel like they're better when they're worn 606 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: in even they every year they look better than the last. So, 607 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I know a lot of people don't have 608 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: three dollars to spend on a boot, but if you 609 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: can find a way, because instead, you know, I'm gonna 610 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: have these boots from my whole life, and if you 611 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: think about the different say, like, if you think about 612 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: the years that it's gonna last you. That's what I 613 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: always say to people too. It feels like a huge 614 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: investment now and I had to get to this place 615 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: with boots a long time ago. But like you buy 616 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: it and then you keep them and you wear them 617 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: every day for four years even, and it's like so 618 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: much more worth your money than buying new stuff all 619 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: the time. It's trendy because it's not well made, it's 620 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: not gonna last you. It falls apart. The cut is 621 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: kind of trendy, so you don't want it in a 622 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: few months. And also it's I mean, I'm big about 623 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: fast fashion and the environment, and it's really not good 624 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: for you, not good for the planet. It's better to 625 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: invest your invest your money and and pieces that you 626 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: can have a long, long, long time. Yeah, and ultimately 627 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: it is better for your budget. Yeah, ultimately, I think 628 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: it is. It's like it's just hard to see all 629 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: the time and that. Yeah, and the moment you're like, 630 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: why would I buy these three hunder dollar boots when 631 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: I could buy these thirty dollar boots? Right? Three dollar 632 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: boots are going to fall apart? And then you know 633 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: why another pair? Another pair?
