00:00 Menswear Mistakes: Introduction

Once you’re in the realm of classic menswear, you have a greater knowledge of clothing in general, too. This is a blessing and a curse, as you can’t help but notice when other people’s outfits don’t hit the mark.

02:19 1. Polyester Satin Ties
04:15 2. Tiny Shirt Collars
05:25 3. Sloppy Socks
06:38 4. Tired Knitwear
07:54 5. Creased Shirts
09:21 6. Poorly Cared-For Shoes
10:53 7. Low-Rise Pants
12:36 8. Too-Thin Fabrics
14:55 9. Dull Solid Colors
16:17 10. Outerwear That Doesn't Match

While learning the basics of dressing well can be simple, the nuances are what will truly set you apart. And while it comes more instinctively to some over others, these issues are easily mitigated.

As we’ve said many times before, we at the Gentleman’s Gazette are here to help you at every step along your style journey.

The subtle stubble as a way to harmonize with the casualness of the outfit was an interesting detail I've never thought about.

When I was in music university, I’d see the men wearing all sorts of atrocities including party shirts with tuxedo jackets and tuxedo jackets with blue jeans and that same party shirt, formal patent leather shoes with blue jeans, etc. not to mention their tuxedo jackets often had notched lapels. Drove me nuts

Dear Gentleman’s Gazette
I just wanted to thank you for sharing all of your amazing knowledge with the world. I discovered your channel in September of 2021 and now, nearly two years later, I dress in three piece suits, dress shoes, ties, and hats everyday. I am also a pre teen, by the way. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
Much respect and best wishes,
Theo

Another good Preston video. Well done! Informative without being condescending.

[mattbellal]

I noticed that the drumming in the background was almost unnoticeable wich is so much more pleasurable, thank you for listening to the viewers

[corym]

I like that you give specific remedies instead of leaving the viewer hanging as some other channels do. Also, thank you for not shouting.

[MikeBenko]

If I'm not called a peasant in this video, I'm 100% ready to completely ignore all your advice.

[znovosad]

Definitely want to get back into the classic menswear. I took most of the summer off from it, partially due to working most days of the week. I’d wear chino style shorts, sometimes a polo or a very basic cotton dark colored t shirt and often sigh, I’d go back to my basic adidas flat sneakers. But I’ve definitely realized my low waisted dress pants really don’t suit me that well, and don’t stay on/up well. And shirts don’t have enough length to accommodate this to tuck in properly. I’m looking forward to overcoat season. I’ve also come to the realization how unflattering most jeans are for me personally.Experimenting time for this fall season.

[PsychoticLeprachaun]

I like the "classy" nature of these videos and then they hit you with some sick memes at 5:00. This channel is something else, I love it. And I don't even wear this type of clothing

[EugeneSalandra]

You are a gem and a delight, dear Preston.
The greatest "pet peeve" that often ruffles my proverbial feathers is people wearing what appear to be foundation garments and underwear as outerwear in broad daylight. This is especially prevalent among women in California, where I currently reside, but it is woefully common among men as well. I fondly remember the days of my youth when foundation garments were restricted to the privacy of home, and the intricate ins-and-outs of the body were happily left to the imagination.

[Pilzmaxe]

Worst for me is wearing a navy blue blazer with a pair of pants that's also in a different shade of dark blue but from a different cloth.

[christianmaurer]

My style pet peeve is Raphael's tie knots! I've seen several videos where he preaches the importance of the knot fitting the size of the collar, yet every time he wears a cutaway collar, or anything similar, he still uses tiny knots, the edges of which don't meet the edges of the collar! XD I say this with love of course, you guys are one of my favorite channels! I've been watching for years :) Keep up the good work, cheers!

[SpamMouse]

Preston you win the GG award for the CORRECT pronunciation of the word "Niche", Jolly Well Done. 👍

[SundayNightFringe]

Outfit at 7:22 is the coolest look. Going to keep an eye out for that sweater.

[infinitecosmos]

sheesh it seems like Preston is getting a lot of flack in the comments. especially about the high waisted trousers. With my personal experience, I tried them, and fell in love with wearing them! They are extremely comfortable, and if you don't like the look of how high they are, then that can be easily midigated with a waistcoat during the colder months, wearing an untucked camp shirt in the hotter months, or by wearing a jacket.

[frankmartinez]

Sgt. Preston! You out do yourself, w/ great materials, information! 😅I salute you Sir!! 🎉

[ashutoshpatra]

after years of practice today's video made me I don't know anything I have to learn more that's the beauty of knowledge

[Durandalite]

Agree with just about everything except for the wax jacket comment. A Barbour jacket over tailoring can look superb, I wear mine over my grays and browns all the time.

[masterkamen]

Shoes that aren't cared for are the worst. I've got a 35€ pair of leather derby shoes that I wear day to day (which includes walking long distances on asphalt, walking over dirt paths, sometimes walking in muddy fields, rainy weather, etc., basically anything that destroys expensive shoes in a few months). I regularly manage to scratch them up quite badly, so I go over them with matching polish and brush every few days which hides/fixes any damage very well. It's as simple as that to make sure your shoes look good, even if they are heavily abused.

[Padoinky]

I’ve always followed the theory that one is best served by:
1) buying the best quality that one can afford
2) buying classic/traditional styles and designs
3) buying for the longer term (per #1, #2) and then investing both minimal time and funds to maintain what you’ve procured… easy peasy!
