Style Mistakes That Make You Look Old [0:00:00]
All right, gentlemen.
So, the key to any battle is to understand the enemy.
And, first up, we’ve got dad jeans, guaranteed to add ten to twenty years to your look.
You want to avoid these like the plague.
Now, according to the Macmillan Dictionary, dad jeans are defined as a light-colored washed
loose fitting jeans which are worn by men.
The urban dictionary though explains in detail why they’re dangerous and how they repel
women.
The definition gives us a few more visual cues, the high waist, the tapered leg, but
more importantly it talks about the signal that these jeans send.
That message that signal that apparently either you are in denial and you don’t even know
that you are no longer hip or even worse, you don’t care.
In fact, you’ve given up on life and you’re just trying to get by.
[Music] Now, gents, before I get too deep into this,
I want to say that you can wear whatever you want.
Take everything I say with a grain of salt.
In fact, just the other day I had a guy reached out says he’s 47, he wears Yeezys and sweat
pants and still looks great.
Why?
Because he’s young at heart and he takes care of his body.
That being said, there are items like the next one on this list, the fanny pack that
it seems like any guy trying to pull this off is just going to overall age his look.
It doesn’t look good.
I mean, yes, there are some guys over in Europe with really fancy ones that they can pull
it off.
But, I think for the vast majority of men, you try wearing a fanny pack, yeah, this is
a look that ages you.
Especially when you’re wearing one that looks like this, it may sit look like you’re
stuck back in 1994 and that you’ve given up on life.
Next up, we’ve got your worn out clothing from your alma mater from your university
from your high school.
Guys, I get it, you had your glory days twenty years ago, thirty years ago.
That doesn’t mean you need to keep reminding everybody that you went to that university
with that sweatshirt, especially when it’s falling apart.
This also applies to those graphic t-shirts that you picked up fifteen, twenty years ago.
Yeah, you just graduated college, had some money.
You bought some nice clothing, I get it, but it’s been fifteen years.
Guys, you want to look to upgrade your wardrobe.
Now, gents, if you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe, specifically your shirts, you’re
in luck.
Today’s sponsor Collars & Co. makes that easy with their dress collar polo.
Yes.
Right here, you get an amazing collar that doesn’t fall apart.
You’ve seen this before.
You buy a nice polo shirt and after one wash that collar falls apart.
This shirt right here, I’ve already washed it five times.
Look at the way that this collar sits up, holds its strength, frames my face.
This is a great looking mature collar.
Any age you can pull this off and it’s going to make you look amazing.
Now, as you can tell, I changed the color of the shirt, went with a nice beautiful lavender.
And when you go over to Collars & Co. their website, you’ll see they’ve got a variety
of collars and patterns.
But, most importantly the thing I love is all the different collar styles you’ve got
over there.
So, this collar style right here, notice they’ve got the button.
They’ve got the button down, but they’ve also go their English spread collar and their
cutaway collar.
And all of these shirts are made to be layered.
Yes, you can wear them as a regular polo, but as things start to cool down, throw a
sweater on top of this, throw a sports jacket.
And for your first shirt, gents, don’t over think it.
Me, personally, I love the white.
Why?
It’s going to go with anything.
Seriously, gents, any color sports jacket, any color sweater, and because it’s a polo,
it’s going to run cooler.
Overall, that four-way stretch fabric with that beautiful drape, it’s going to wick
away moisture.
Guys, I wear this when I’m traveling.
Why?
Because they don’t have wrinkles.
Look right here, okay, you know, something with this other handsome guy and that beautiful
girl, that is my daughter, Marina.
The baptism, that was the godfather.
Guys, as you can see right here, I’m wearing a Collars & Co. shirt.
I am wearing one of their shirts because they look good.
I knew in pictures I wouldn’t have to worry about that collar flapping falling all over
the place.
This is the shirts that I go and I grab when I want to look good, when I want to layer,
when I want a versatile piece of clothing that I know I’m going to look good in those
pictures with.
So, gentlemen, to make sure you get the best deal on the web, use that link in the description
of today’s video and use the code down there.
This is the best deal you’re going to find out there.
It’s a limited time offer over at Collars & Co.
Great company, I love what these guys are doing.
I wear their shirts.
I love all the colors, the patterns, the different collar styles.
It’s an easy way to upgrade your look.
Guys, go check them out, awesome company, proud to support them.
Now, gentlemen, we talked earlier about knowing the enemy.
Well, guess what?
Over here on the right, you need to avoid these like the plague.
These are square-toed shoes.
And they not only make you look old, they make you look bad.
They really bring down your style.
Now, gents, I do read the comments and I know that some of guys stick with square-toed shoes
because, Antonio, hey, they got a wider toe box.
I have wide feet.
And those other styles, well, they hurt my toes.
Well, if that’s truly the case, I get it.
Do what you got to do.
But, I would recommend you look at some of the other styles because I did buy those square-toed
shoes, I know incredibly painful.
And I compare the size of the toe box to all the styles I have in my collection and the
vast majority of the time the size of the toe box on these other styles was the same
if not larger than the square-toed shoes.
But what I’m noticing is that they’re also a little bit longer here.
The only area I think if you’ve got longer little toes, that, yes, they could possibly
get scrunched in here.
[0:05:00] But, maybe look for a longer style or for
a wider shoe.
And there are tons of brands out there that actually make wider styles, you know, in a
style that actually isn’t square.
Now, gents, if you’re enjoying today’s video or you just want to be more handsome,
do me a favor and smash the like button.
By doing this, guys, seriously, there’s statistical evidence that you become one percent
more handsome every time you smash the like button.
That applies to all my videos.
Seriously, guys, I appreciate it when you guys engage with these videos and lets the
YouTube algorithm know that, hey, this video is worth watching.
Now, we talked about dad jeans, but what about dad sweaters?
Yes, there are certain sweaters especially ones that are too large, don’t fit properly,
or have very large patterns on them.
Yeah, I just find that they can age a man especially, yeah, in collars they don’t
compliment, the Cosby sweater.
Stay away from this.
I know it’s trending back and coming back.
But, yeah, not a good look in my opinion.
Now, there are certain styles, cardigans.
These in gen – and this is the button style in the front.
You know, they have a storied history, but they can age a man.
I do think though if you go with a solid color, if you keep it really simple, if the fit is
on point, you can pull it off.
Now, this next one is a bit controversial because initially the t-shirt was meant to
be tucked in.
It was an undershirt.
But, when it become outerwear, it seems that it is to be worn untucked.
That being said, you want to make sure it fits you properly.
But, let me know in the comments, do you think a t-shirt should be tucked in or untucked?
I think that t-shirts in general should be untucked unless worn as undershirts.
But, again, if you disagree or agree, let me know in the comments below.
Now, the next thing on this list isn’t an actual item, but it is a habit and that is
your grooming habits.
Guys, as you get older, here’s thing, you start to lose hair on top of your head and
it starts coming out your ears, coming out your nose, growing in other places you didn’t
expect.
So you want to take care of that especially the nose hair, yeah, the eyebrow hair.
Here’s the thing, as you get like three or four that just start doing their own thing,
they’re all over the place.
You either cut those and your barber can do it or you can just get a pair of trimmers,
you can use a pair of scissors.
The same thing with the nose in your hair.
Get a nose hair clipper.
They’re relatively inexpensive.
You can get one that don’t require batteries or you can get one that does require batteries.
In either case, take care of this.
Make it part of your weekly grooming routine to trim the nose hairs, especially for short
people.
She’s looking up at you and all of a sudden, she sees a forest coming out of that nose.
And on the subject of grooming and hair, let’s talk about the hair on your head.
So, first up, as you get older, you’re 30s, 40s, 50s, your hair actually starts to thin
up.
So, you want to make sure you’re using products which aren’t weighing it down made specifically
for thinning hair.
That’s either at the hair product and even your shampoo.
Again, you don’t want something that, again, is going to weigh it down with that heavy
conditioner.
Next up, let’s talk about as your hair starts to color or you lose the color.
You star to get a little bit of gray.
Not a bad thing.
A lot of guys absolutely love it and a lot of women are drawn to men with graying hair,
that whole, yeah, what is it?
Pepper and salt kind of thing.
A lot of ladies love it.
But, if that’s not your thing and you want to dye your hair, first time, I would advise
going to a professional.
Be very careful with using artificial dyes.
The women, they can spot this because a lot of them dye their hair and they have – they’ve
seen a bad dye job.
You want to make sure that you are not doing a bad dye job if you’re going to be going
down this route.
Again, after you’ve gone through a professional a few times, you see what a good dye job is,
you could take this over if you so choose.
But, I do advise if you’re going to go down this route, understand what you’re doing
and, yeah, you don’t want purple hair or something like that.
All right, gentlemen.
So, what video to watch next?
How to dress as a man.
Seriously, if you’re a man and you haven’t watched this video, you need to watch it.
Otherwise, you’re going to be walking around naked and I don’t want you to get arrested.
Seriously, guys, it’s a good video.
Go check it out.
Boom.
Right here, click it, magically you will be transported to the next video.
It’s amazing how that happens.
All right, guys.
See you in the next vid. [0:08:47] End of audio
