I’ve been at a loss to explain why I love this channel but I think I’ve figured it out. Brian has perfected the art of subtle style; being stylish without having to resort to the ‘look at me!’ approach such as too many accessories, too many buttons undone (a.k.a., the Alpha M), and so on.
My general talking point about the whole "influencer" business is that you've got two kinds of people--look at me people and listen to me people. Pretty obvious who's who. Very much appreciate you honing in on and sharing that with me.
Your entire channel is just a style masterclass. You're a rare gem in menswear. P.S: While look #6 looked effortlessly stylish, look #7 was simply breathtaking!
I have been wearing chinos for a very long time but not exclusively. I have chinos in kaki, navy and white. Lands End are my favorites because I like long rise, pleated. I like how my assortment of chinos contrast to whatever sweater or shirt I choose, including linen. I am not comfortable wearing a shirt under a v neck sweater however. I don't wrinkle up my shirt in that way. I just wear either a crew neck sweater or a shirt or a colored t-shirt. White jeans are also in my wardrobe and dark denim. I also have wool trousers. Living in the Midwest, an assortment is essential. A blazer works with chinos. For me it is usually camel colored or a navy blazer. Thank you for your videos.
That Billy Reid suede jacket is the boots!! I like the look with the navy jacket, repp tie and the tassel loafers. Chelseas would work too since the weather is getting colder. That collared sweater you had on at your desk paired with the collared shirt is another unsung look that works well. I have several vintage Polo collared wool sweaters I wear the same way. I would triple that with the BR suede jacket or a cord blazer to go ultra-rustic and add another layer if warmth if needed. Rugby shirts are also a great layer to wear this time of year (I have several worn in rotation I wear in business casual environs). I also own an earth-toned canvas JCrew barn coat with a flannel lining & contrasting cord collar I've worn many a season until the top of the patch pockets have frayed but I can't bring myself to retire it or move it to lesser duty. I wear it with a heavy wool sweater or a snap-button Eddie Bauer feather down jacket underneath when the temps get below 30° F here in Ohio. Thanks for your posts-gives me good upscale aspirations to adopt into my own lifestyle.
Loved the commentary on this vid, man. You’re just stating each outfit as it is. The “this would’ve broken the internet in 2012” bit was hilariously accurate. Great vibe. Edit: Woah! That’s a nice looking polo sweater at the end.
Dylan Lundgren thanks, Dylan. Glad you like the approach. Only thing that would have made that look more 2012 internet-lethal would be adding a navy silk knit tie with horizontal yellow stripes.
#early - i remember #1 from when I started following HSS. great, casual look! #2 is a more mature version of #1 - #3 and 4 are fine smart casual outfits. looking great! - #5 has a great direction, but the polo and jacket you featured aren't my cup of tea - #6 is another cool, casual look. #7 - i love monochromes, it exudes a level of style maturity. that suede jacket is killer! - #8 is a look that is very Brian Sacawa haha. idk if i can ever pull off smth like that. and i think it will look better on you with the sleeves folded up! Cheers man!
Love these outfits. I must say, I'm 38 soon and am gravitating toward many of your outfits. Great style: approachable, charming, flexible, refined, modest. Zero douchiness.
Really enjoy your videos as they are very informative and helpful for guys like me...older... Can't wait until I hit my goal weight so I can finally change up my wardrobe. Thanks, and keep up the great videos!!
@@hespokestyle Still have about 25 pounds left to go so it'll be while. I just let myself go WAY too far after being so much more active earlier. Don't ANYONE do that as it's just soooo much work to get back to where you were! ;>)
Great video Brian. I have abandoned my khakis outfits , don’t ask why lol. Time to go back and step it up . These outfits are amazing. Classic, simple, elegant doesn’t get any better 👍
Great looks as usual! I love chinos because of their versatility but I've found I usually feel more comfortable wearing darker ones to keep the attention higher up. I guess khaki/beige pants work fine in the summer for me too though! I liked looks 3 through 5 best by the way.
Look #6 the easy weekend, an awesome look, and now I finally know how to pair a black denim jacket. I got one 2 weeks ago and was trying to figure out what to pair it with. Thanks Brian!
Hi Brian ! Sorry for my not very good English (I'm living in France) but thank you very much for sharing all these videos ! They are all very inspiring and of very good quality ! Please continue like this :)
Super outfits 2, 3, 6, 7, rock my boat. J&M loafers sit flat on the floor, perfect, only prob with AE shoes is they curl up at the toe. great news with the 80K
Nevermind the khaki pants (styled really well with these eight outfits) you wore the tan long sleeved polo over a denim shirt?! Very cheeky! Works really well though...
Enjoy your videos. For all the casual looks except the first one, you have your shirts tucked in. It may not look good for someone with a little stomach sticking out :) What would you recommended? OK to have the polo shirts, shirts tucked out? Thanks.
I love your dexterity in combining these outfits. I'd wear almost all of them! With all your different shoes, I've been wondering: In what timeframe did you gather your footwear? It's an impressive range, and given the price tag of e.g. Allen Edmonds, it also appears to be an expensive one. Doesn't seem like a collection to be put together quickly to me!
@@hespokestyle That's good to hear! Over roughly two years, I've accumulated five pairs of classic dress shoes, basics each. Now the goal is variation! ;)
Is khaki flat-front with crisp center crease and 1 to 1.5 " cuff doable? My signature look when younger, beltless with side adjusters; your take please..
Thank you so much Brian, I just started following you here and on your blog a few months ago. I've learned so much and you have helped me improve my wardrobe and style! I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm in my late 40's. One of my fears is looking like I'm "trying too hard" or dressing too young for my age. With the looks you've shown here, would you discourage me from any of them given my age (specifically the white tennis shoes) or I am safe with styling similar looks in my late forties? Thanks, man!
Quality Goods Racine so good to hear. Makes me so happy to know that I’ve been able to help/inspire you. Rule of thumb is that if you’re not comfortable with anything, don’t do it.
I like the adventurer/explorer look now that was a super stylish look. The vest and hat kicked it off for me. Thank you for making this video I have two kinds of khakis one is more demim and the other are dicky brand. I am trying to change my look a little bit with the clothes I have. until I can afford a new wardrobe!
Hey Brian. I have been into style for a number of years, but now I finally wanna look towards purchasing proper leather shoes (i.e. blake stitch/goodyear welt). could you recommend a few AFFORDABLE brands that I could look into as i get started in this area, please? thanks in advance!
Hi, I really love your channel! Sadly though, I'm from a tropical countries and temperatures are above 30C/90F year-round, so I can't wear many of your outfits. Are there be any outfits you recommend for this type of climate?
hey brian, where did you get the belt at 2:30? I've been looking for a more casual belt like the one here so I don't wear the same belt on my jeans and casual trousers as my suit
Regarding the suege jacket in the #7 outfit, what is an acceptable length? Seems like a few inches below the waist, but what if you have a higher rise pant?
Which look was your favorite?
My favorite was nr.7 (loved that suede jacket)
All of them looked nice 👌 . What I learned from your videos is fit of clothing is so important .Thanks man
The combination with navy jacket.
Definitely the one with the turtleneck!
Awesome! Will be available soon!

All classic looks, can’t decide which is my favorite! I can’t overstate the value of a good chino and OCBD.
Neither can I!
Love the college prep look. Simple, comfortable yet so elegant and stylish
Many thanks. Appreciate the comment and support.
Khaki and grey, a very underrated color combo IMO. As with all your lookbooks, I wouldn't hesitate to wear any of them. Thx for the casual elegance!
You're super kind. Thanks so much for the comment!
Your entire channel is just a style masterclass. You're a rare gem in menswear.
P.S: While look #6 looked effortlessly stylish, look #7 was simply breathtaking!
That's very kind of you to say, Aziz. Thanks so much for the comment nd support.
loving the more "grown up" look from ur channel! really help those coming from teens to up their style
You're very welcome.
Those khaki pants fit perfectly ! I need a pair in every color !
Awesome looks Brin! This is probably your most practical look book yet. Nearly everyone wears khaki pants. Keep up the good work.
Best Dressed Dad cheers! Thanks so much for the support.

The quality keeps improving on these videos recently, excellent work guys :)
I love wearing chinos with blazer or sport coat. Thank you for the video.
You're welcome, Gabriel.
just got myself a pair of khakis, almost exactly like the one you have! Thanks for the tips, will most definitely use them in the future.
Very welcome, Omar. Thanks for chiming in.
Hey Brian, is that a tailored fit or a slim fit? Also what is the specific name of the chino?
College prep/ easy weekend were my favs.
The dalton boot is my fav! I love my walnut color pair
Very cool! It's a great boot. I've had mine for about six years.
Great combos! Just got some great ideas on how to pack less for a business trip! Thank you!
Rene Brito many thanks, Rene!
The urban sombrero. It’s here.
Looks 6 and 7 are my favs. An effortless style.
L B thank so much for the comment.
The 8th look feels like a magician, in a good way.
I really your colour pics , I’ve always been more black colours, but now I want to get into earth tones, great video
man I really like your style
Thanks! Appreciate the comment!
Ah, you made me look at khaki pants in the online store.... should I go for it? I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this video. Great job, Brian!
Haha! Everyone needs a pair. And I have to say that these bonobos are quite good.

Always great videos form you.
Thanks so much, Alvar. Cheers.
Great as always!! 🔝
Many thanks! Really appreciate the comment.
Would love for a whole video on "grown up casual". Currently a stay at home dad and suits don't fit the bill!
The most perfect man ever!
If I feel any style I tried don’t look cool, it’s time for watching this video again and back to basics.
Waiting for khaki combinations and found it , very good video and great content, best of luck
Nevermind the khaki pants (styled really well with these eight outfits) you wore the tan long sleeved polo over a denim shirt?! Very cheeky! Works really well though...
Thanks so much. Appreciate the comment.
Call me basic, but I liked the pairing with ocbd and navy blazer the most. Second maybe with the denim jacket and white shirt.
Basic isn't a dirty word. Simple is often the most powerful.
Fantastic 👍👍
Thank you, sir. Appreciate the comment.
This is a channel of men...real men!

I just do it with white proclub and black cortezes

Where can you buy that suede jacket in outfit #7?
Nice video thanks for listing each accessory. That's a nice watch, but it's $21,700? wow...
You're very welcome.
Tasteful as always thank you!
Most stylish man on UA-cam. :)))
You're too kind. Cheers.
#7 and #5.
What color are those Allen Edmonds he's wearing on Look 3?
Is khaki flat-front with crisp center crease and 1 to 1.5 " cuff doable? My signature look when younger, beltless with side adjusters; your take please..
I would do a 1.5 or 2" cuff. 1" isn't enough.
Where is your belt from?
Arts Khaki pants, Chinos and Dockers all in the same category?
I never get to wear khaki, my girlfriend hates the color haha.
Great looks though Brian!
Bummer! Thanks for chiming in.
This is a great classic manly style compared to those other videos I saw here on YT were too gay 😂
What type of fit are these? Tailored? Athletic? Also have you washed and dried them and if so any noticeable changes? Thanks!
