12 BASIC Style Mistakes EVERY Young Man Makes!

Today is a good old-fashioned Alpha M. style tutorial where I will review a few style mistakes that young men make.

Pathetic partial tuck. A partial check is when you want to show off the fact you're wearing a badass belt, like my Anson Belt. If you want to make this look like it happened accidentally, you must know how to do it properly.

Overstuffed pockets. Many dudes look clean and sexy, but their pockets are packed with crap. To solve the problem, invest in a minimal wallet designed to go into the front pocket. Carry only essentials such as your insurance card, discount cards, one credit card, and a bit of cash.

Huge suits. One of the big mistakes I see a lot of guys making is wearing suits that are way too big. Grab a sales associate to get measured and then try on the suit. If you're 42 regular, chances are you're more of a 40 regular. Size down anytime you go into a store to buy a jacket, whether a winter jacket, overcoat, or suit. This will help to reduce the amount of tailoring you need.

Long pants. This mistake blows me away because so many dudes are dressed well, but their pants are too long. They end up puddling down by their ankles. This sucks because it doesn't look clean, makes you look shorter, and breaks the clean aesthetic from your eye to your toe.

Belt screw-ups. First, The leathers on your dress shoes and belt must match in color, style, and texture. You need a casual leather or canvas belt if your shoes are more casual. I love Anson Belts, with their track system of micro adjustments and no holes. The straps and buckles are interchangeable, and Anson has an extensive selection from which to choose. Mix and match!

Fake leather. It won't wear like genuine leather if it looks, feels, or smells fake. The truth is that leather and fake leather jackets have the same prices. But if you want fake leather, opt for fabric instead.

Visible undershirts. Seeing in an undershirt is an absolute style deal breaker. If you're wearing one, have a deep enough v that the undershirt is not detectable. You could also wear a white wife beater underneath, but never solo out in public.

Buttoning too many. You're a man among men, so why are you covering up so much? The truth is that women find dudes who expose a little man-cleavage sexier. I'm not saying go 4 buttons down, but allow the placket to open up. This goes for polos and Henleys.

Incorrect shirt length. You will reach up and look like Britney Spears if your shirt is too short. It's not a good look. Conversely, if your shirt is too long and covers your crotch, that's not a good look either. Your shirt should fall midway down, about halfway down your crotch. Additionally, don't wear button-up shirts that are intended to be dress shirts untucked. Untucked casual button-ups are shorter than dress shirts. Dress shirts are designed to be a bit longer, so they don't become untucked when you're sitting.

Muffin top. The dreaded muffin top kills your style due to the bunch of fabric hanging out of your pants. One way to solve this is to wear an Anson Belt. Another option is to have more tailored shirts. Standard off-the-rack shirts tend to be a bit boxy and roomy. Look for tailored or slim-fit dress shirts or button-ups.

Sloppy sleeve rolls. Expose your forearms, but do it right. Don't do a half-ass, sloppy roll which is not stylish. Here's how.

Baggy clothing. Wear clothing that fits your body. If you're going with a trend like oversized, it will make you look skinny.

Trend hopping. You'll be wasting a ton of money when trend hopping because trendy clothing won't be in style months from now. Build your wardrobe around the basic and timeless styles, and add one or two trendy items.

Flashy clothing. The 'look at me clothing' will be worn once or twice, but you spent a ton of cash on it

Anyone who refers to themself as alpha is not alpha. They’re just obnoxious.

[AllAmericanAJ]

Alpha, you forgot one thing to help avoid muffin top. The third option, shirt stays! I swear by kkandjay shirt stays when I wear dress shirts. In fact you might want to consider contacting them for a video, the product line is incredible.

Theses are the videos I missed. This is why I started watching Alpha M .

Don’t put anything in your back pocket unless you’re ready to lose it. Back pockets are way to easy to pickpocket

[christopheroswald]

If you want someone to be able to easily steal your phone, but still keep the ascetic of the front of your pants, put your phone in your back pocket. Other than that, good content.

[nah]

Back pocket point is pretty dumb, that’s how a thousands of people got their phones stolen.

[princebricosta]

I have an opinion, come in india visit here after putting phone in back pocket....after half an hour 😂, u will realise...

[TSierra]

I like when you make these style videos even though you made so many lol, thanks for the tips.

[paragongeth]

The best way to get your phone robbed is sticking out your back pocket, I've seen it happen.

[chroniclesofg]

I stared watching you 5 years ago after my divorced. Changed my life. Love the Anson belts. Thank you for the tip on the partial tuck.

[GEORGIABOY]

Something I hate is wearing a tie with button down collars..I don’t know if it’s allowed but it doesn’t look good to me.

[phantomvibrator]

this guys no bs style gets me everytime

[dpkmrwt]

The only shouting guy who makes sense. ❤️

[Joey]

Keeping your phone in your back pocket is not safer than keeping it in the front pocket. Speaking of things that are hurting the boys. Wearing jeans that are too tight can also cause problems.

[GCT]

Can you please make a video on trench coats or over coats? You have one on Pea coats but we never got one on trench coats, Those are so sexy but I don't know what I'm doing when picking one out. Love that content Alpha you've been a huge upgrade for me. Wishing you nothing but the best in life 😊

Someone missed the PM about Sprezzatura.

[murmor]

The pants shown look like a proper full break from what I could glance at. High pants also tend to look like they are too small on taller men.

[alfredbonnabel]

Thanks for the partial tuck tip 👍 I think your gold Rolex is a lil dressy for your look...

[DaLeSy.]

Where did you get that nylon bomber jacket or whatever you called it?

[austinhoward]

I disagree with the sleeve roll. I think the half arsed roll works better because it looks less try hard in my opinion.
