Thank goodness I found you guys. Ashley's expertise in men's fashion is on point and Dorian's take is really useful and informative for me because I'm a tall thin guy. Well done y'all.

I love how Dorian accompanies you in your videos. As a man he brings an empathetic touch to your presentation.

Thank you for the advice. I am a slim but physically fit guy at age 56. That being said, I stick to the classic fit suits, dress shirts and pants, etc. imo It suits my age a little better. A guy my age could be perceived as being immature by wondering around in a slim-fit suit. In addition, it has been my experience that if I stay with the classic fit suit for example, (medium lapels, medium width neckties) my clothes tend to stay in style almost indefinitely. This strategy combined with buying quality suits can give a man quite a savings to his pocket book over time.

I personally like well fitting Henley's. Long sleeve not short sleeve. I think they are more stylish than a Polo. While a have a few I rarely wear them. I think they are old manish looking.

I really love the way Ashley presents her videos. I can feel her passion oozing out from her and from there her lovely smile comes out naturally too.
But, and I say this with a laughter, she is trying to get her diction right when she speaks 😅
Thank you Ashley and Dorian. Always love your videos 😘

Yes! Finally! As a thin/slim guy, I agree with Dorian that this video is for us.

Dearborn Denim, you can find them online USA made. When you order they size both the waist and length by the inch not every two inches. So you can order a 33x31 for example. Saves the hassle of going to a tailor since they will do it for you.

Amazing videos as usual. Love how passionate both of you are and succicient the material is articulated! When is your channel winning another award? Want to share the early congrats :)

Ashley, I like all your videos. When you do them with your husband, I prefer the ones where you are on the left side of the screen. This is because you become the one where the discussions "originate". Dorian then becomes the "reactor" to the discussions, even when he starts something. It lends you greater power, and makes you look much more like it's your brand. Nothing at all against Dorian, I just am looking out for subtle perceptions/impressions of entrepreneurial women who lead their lives well. I did some TV work, and I saw the same thing when I was sitting across from Al Roker and Stephanie Abrams on Weather Channel. You can see what I mean on my channel, as I have copies of those videos there. Al's the star, and he's shorter than Stephanie, so he shows leadership by being on "house left" or "stage right". All the best!

Ashley and Dorian, I regularly follow all your videos and they are amazing and informative. Keep it up. Thank you and love from INDIA

@6:40 No donot buy longer length. Slim fit pants or jeans taper from knee down as you said earlier. So if you buy 30 length it will have norrower opening than if you hem 34 length to 30. The 34 hemmed to 30 will fit almost like a straight fit.

When you have a slim body (just like me) you should defenatly look for italian brands. Italian clothing is slim fit, so it suits my bodytype.

I agree with everything! I have had all the problems, and I have tried all the things you guys are talking about. Definitely agree with the tailoring, do it!! 👍👍

And another thing, try out turtle necks. They look great on slimmer guys since it strengthens the neck area. For example a navy turtle neck, sand trousers and a navy or olive sports coat 👍👍

Unfortunately, for slim men's pants you need to nail the thigh fit and then take in the waist.  Most manufacturers make slim fitting pants thinking that all slim guys have no muscle mass.  If you are athletic at all, you will have a small waist (like a 29) with reasonably large thighs and calves.  Buy the right waist size and the thighs are too tight.  Buy 1 or 2 sizes larger in the waist and have the waist taken in at the tailor and you have a better chance on getting a good fit.

Yes its true.. my favourite slimfit jeans is Massimo dutti.. its pricey than zara but the quality 👍.. comfortable as well

[jamiecoburn]

What to do when you have sparrow arms:
1) Follow Ashley's guidelines
2) Hit the gym and pump those muscles up! :)

[escobiasean]

Yes! Uniqlo has like a perfect slim fit pants for me! ❤️❤️

[adambailey]

Thanks, another great very informative video.cheers.

Would love to hear your opionion about Hawaiian/floral shirts.
Should you wear them? If yes, how to style them and how shoukd they fit?

[wendaltvedt]

I totally agree with you when it comes to v-neck tees on tall slim guys. A big no no. Sucks because I really like how v-necks look on guys who are more solid and they are comfortable but on tall slim guys like me it just doesn't look for feel right. And I agree on tapered slim fit pants/jeans.
