How To Build A Men's CAPSULE WARDROBE | Part 3 of 6 - Pants

Paul Nagaoka’s Instagram Account

This 6 part series is a sequel to my Men’s Style Guide, where I introduced the 6 key rules that every man should follow in order to achieve timeless style. Using that as a base, I will bring you through, step by step, everything you need to know about building a perfect men’s capsule wardrobe. It’s a one stop shop for timeless men’s fashion and men’s style guide.

A capsule wardrobe follows the concept of minimalism, in which many people do not know how to go about. Every episode will target a particular aspect of a typical men’s outfit. By the end of the series, you will be able to maximise your minimised capsule wardrobe.

Pants, along with your shirt, is the base of your outfit. Because of this, we don’t want anything too fancy, but something versatile and simple. Through this episode, you will be able to learn how to pick a pair pants that’ll fit you perfectly, as well as the specific colours that will be ideal for your capsule wardrobe. You won’t believe how few pieces of pants you’ll need to pull off timeless outfits.

Don’t forget our golden rule, which is that ‘men’s style transcends men’s fashion trends’. Also, do leave me some feedback in the comments section and tell me what you would like to see next!

i like the fact that you are not afraid to express your personality and your content is amazing, exactly what I was looking for!! thank you man, all 6 videos are great and you did a great job and explained it very very good

[FARISWOLF]

maaan please don't change your way of presenting these videos, most youtubers play it safe and become so formal or mask themselves you have the personality and you will go far and hope you hundreds of thousands of followers

"Keep those!" wasn't expecting that hahahah!

Are white jeans a must? I have a hard time seeing myself in a pair of those. Anything I could exchange them for and still have the warderobe work? I'm thinking grey maybe?

Watched your videos, great stuff man! Got some great advice!

Thanks man, you have put it just right, much love.

I can't say no to the chinos man lol I'll get these jeans of course but chinos are by far always my favorite things to wear in my wardrobe.

[Variaman]

I get the reasoning, but I would probably replace the white jeans with a pair of chinos for the sake of looking a little nicer for work.

How would you dress diverse ways during a summer heat wave with only 1 pair of short and no more than 3 tshirts ? You would always wear the same pair of shorts everyday with a capsule ?

@paulnagaoka what's your feelings towards distressed versus regular white jeans?

[ofelsuperman]

hi Paul, this so comprehensive video :) However, our company doesn't allow jeans at all during Mon-Thu for business casual. Any alternatives? Thanks a bunch :)

[Ryan-zsbk]

What do you think about a dark blue pair of jeans, light blue pair of jeans, and possibly gray chinos? I look ridiculous in white jeans, only skater around where I live war them and they only look good if you are skinny and I'm 6'4 250 lbs lol

I really think Burgundy would look great in your Capsule Wardrobe.

[aguafria]

No mention of corduroy or tweed. i'm feeling let down.

[morelwilliams]
