10 Commandments of Building a Man's Wardrobe

Creating a perfect man's wardrobe isn't about following a prescribed list of items. It’s about having a method in place that guides you through creating a sense of personal style.

To help you navigate this I’ve created 10 commandments of building a man's wardrobe. These have evolved as I have built my wardrobe and I wish I had them when I started. It would have saved me a lot of time, and money… and looking like a bit of a prat.

Great your back Ive been waiting for the next installment nearly as much as the mandalorian. 👍👍👍

Great principles! Late last year I had my ‘maybe I should plan my wardrobe out more’ moment and have been thinking about it very similarly to your first few commandments.

I would love to see more of your take on menswear in media. Specifically a reaction to the clothes in the TV show the Bear. The main character has a deep love for denim and his collection is used to drive the plot at times.

a no date sub Rolex works with every outfit perfectly. Its an iconic timepiece and conversation starter.

Welcome back! We've missed your videos!

Finally some levelheaded, sound advice. Much appreciated, Matthew. By the by, what do you make of Ace & Tate glasses? They‘ve got a reasonable range of quality timeless acetate styles, usually in two sizes to fit smaller/wider faces. Something I’ve come to appreciate with the years. Service is excellent and they haven’t let me down yet. Strikes me as a sensible alternative to ordering glasses from the US.

Which is not to say I‘m against Huckberry, some fine articles to find there. Their waxed Trucker is a personal favourite of mine. I just prefer to buy my glasses in a physical shop. And it’s actually quite lovely at their premises.

Great video. What jeans are you wearing in the scene with the overcoat?

[andrewwatson]

URA a million, spend a million....on whoever makes you feel safe, stay lucky and keep cranking out now have a totally different wardrobe and enough denim to sink a battleship
God Bless you and yours

Hey man, love your channel! Speaking of Novesta, are you planning on reviewing some of the made in Europe brands such as Big Star Jeans and the made-in-Mönchengladbach clothes that C&A has started making or even some smaller makers?

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the video. Sorry who made the Chelsea boots? The link goes to Benzak denim....

[wiliamthirkell]

website looks great never seen it before will for sure be using it going forward

[jamesmaddock]

Nice overcoat ! I’d like one of those
I like all your choices but I can’t get with those white shoe things or khaki chinos .

[swankm]

Would you consider brown a neutral as well? I recently purchased a couple brown t-shirts

[elisovic]

I like the design of that wallet! Where’s it from?

[johnsprason]

So true quality over quantity 👌 just joined great info and I’ve got a lot to watch

For someone who is starting to build their own wardrobe, hopefully this video will help me avoid mistake i made in the future. The first thing i bought is a pair of boots(still waiting for delivery) and i will slowly make my way up, let hope that i will not fuck this up

[sammyb]

Great video!

Any particular reason for the Andersen Andersen pick? (I'm assuming it's the turtle neck you meant). I love sailor/fisherman knits due to their quality/tight gauge knit. I recently got a North Sea Clothing one. Always on the lookout however. What's the particular merit of the Andersen Andersen in your esteemed opinion?

[austinfletcher]

Any advice for a hot climate? 6 months of the year here are sweltering… feels hard to style something other than changing my shoes and shirt around the denim…

[nietzschegustav]

really really appreciate your channel, content & your personality but i was a bit amused by your rolex statement … wearing a watch from the sister brand & steinhart inspired by rolex :)

[pedrohenriquemagalhaes]

matt, im such a big fan of your work. If i could give you some advice, please make your videos just a little bit slower paced. English is not my native language (im from brazil), and i also like to take notes of some sort with your recomendations..but nonetheless, keep up with your work!
