2:40 That word she used was sprezzatura boys. "studied carelessness, especially as a characteristic quality or style of art or literature." Which I now realized is what my personal favorite style is called lol.
I really needed a change in my life so I took valuable advice from Courtney and went with it, changed my look, started taking more care of myself, got new and better clothes and I've got women and men telling me I'm looking more attractive and respectable. It's crazy how much you can grow in other people's eyes when you value yourself.
Both you and Teddy have great style because you both favor looks that I would call timeless and tasteful as opposed to trendy and ridiculous. Best of luck with your channel.
I'm goth, so apparently I'm doomed. OTOH, many years ago, when I was first moving toward a dark aesthetic, a friend of mine took me aside and said that if I wanted to be attractive to women, I had to start wearing dark colors. Being a then young man with a perfectly functional set of hormones thank you very much, I took this advice to heart. It didn't work. Oh, there were other things involved (an issue "getting" social cues, crippling social anxiety, that sort of thing) but wearing bright colors didn't noticeably help. I was just vaguely uncomfortable in my own skin and had so internalized the "advice" that I never knew why. About a decade ago, however, things happened and I rediscovered that long buried dark aesthetic. My fashion soon shifted to match. Now, I still don't get social cues and still have crippling social anxiety but I'm comfortable in my own skin so they don't loom as large as they used to. And that, I think, being comfortable in yourself, in kind of the trump suit in the deck as it were.
@hoe bitches This is the problem with western society. You are now called a "simp" or a "white night" for being respectful to a woman who took time out of her day to make a useful video for men.
Great Video, Courtney. Congrats!! I think you missed one important topic: A woman loves a great cologne on a man. Depending on the situation, the right cologne is a plus to any man. :)
Very well done, you comport yourself perfectly. I stumbled across your video by accident and look forward to more. I am glad to see a women saying what they like, not some guys personal experience which is only a small percentage of people.
"2nd thing she looks at are your shoes. It can be a make it or break it for you" If she decides to walk away b/c of your shoes, then you most likely dodged a bullet.
referencing to 6:21, Back in the '80s, there was a song called "Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Hart. Throughout that time, I wore my sunglasses at night as I was inspired by the song. It was so great. People at random (especially the ladies) would sing that song whenever I walk by them. Nowadays, they don't do that much anymore; or perhaps most women have never heard of the song. But that's the first thing I thought when Courtney said, "Don't wear your sunglasses at night."
I have a video suggestion. How about you start a series changing Teddy’s hairstyle? Maybe shooting for all the many doos of Keanu Reeves. He’s got the locks. You have the skills. And it would be fun to watch. Will he go for it? 🤔
Love your channel. Since you're a fashion major, what's your take on influencers saying that the mens' suit is dying? As the workplace becomes more casual and style in general becomes more casual today, do you recommend a good way to wear a suit without feeling out of place in the setting?
I would add to that list a classic wool peacoat. If you live in a colder climate a peacoat is a must and can be worn over a suit or Jeans & sweater. And they look expensive to women....
Suggestion for dudes: Courtney is right on about suits- fit comes first, above fabric and even quality. If your budget is tight, find a decent suit in your size and have a tailor make adjustments. You can do magic with a $250 department store suit and $100 worth of alterations. This goes beyond suits too- my biggest pet peeve with t-shirts is loose sleeves. If you don't have big biceps that fill out your sleeves, a tailor/seamstress can narrow the sleeves to fit your arms for not a lot of money. You'll get that James Bond fitted tee look at 2:39 without spending ridiculous money on designer t-shirts. Also, a note on matching accessories: all your leather should match. Brown shoes, brown belt, brown watch strap, etc. And with suit pants, your socks always match your pants, NOT your shoes.
@Richard Noseworthy. I support your suggestion and would like to add a suggestion. While a lot of UA-cam Channels, covering menswear repeatedly advise to get a Tailor to adjust the fitting of an OTR, none of these Advisers appear to have any Specialist knowledge about the recommendation they make, even if they have the Industry experience to know what changes a Professional Tailor can make. While it may not be easy for a relatively new Channel to get a knowledgeable Tailor to act as an occasional Guest Commentator, it has got off to a good start and would be a good platform for a range of Tailors, in Capital Cities, to be offered a 2 minutes Guest Commentator spot.

Bless your heart for saying the watch doesn't have to be luxury. In my experience (speaking as a middle aged man), though, women do pay attention to the brand of watch men wear. It's the one piece of jewelry that men can (and should) splurge on. Wearing no watch at all is better than wearing a piece of junk.
Interesting comment Hugh. My experience as an “older” guy and a watch enthusiasts, the vast number of people, regardless of gender, have no clue the manufacturer of my various watches. I did have a 30 something female express liking my understated yellow gold 1965 Gruen on a brown lizard strap on a past occasion. I appreciate Courtney pointing out there are reasonable options to the luxury brands, something non-watch guys and/or guys on a very limited budget often don’t realize. I appreciate your comment.
Most of these are fairly straightforward. IMO, the perfect fitting suit is as rare as a unicorn because so much is going on with a suit that it is hard to find a perfect fit in an off the rack suit is hard to do. The best solution is to go full bespoke, but that is way too expensive for most guys. The next best is to take your off the rack suit to a tailor and get the suit altered. It helps to be on a first name basis with your tailor, and that is the rub. Not many guys are these days.
@Martin Tanz. A major problem with OFR suits sold in Department Stores, is that the enormous growth of online shopping has caused the leading brands to reduce the range of fractional sizing, and trying to work around the limited range of suit sizes by selling the suit jacket and pants as separate items. But you nearly always need to go to a Tailor for a good fit, because the Department Stores no longer have an in-house alterations service and recommended Tailors are not always up to the same standard as traditional in-house experts. Phil.
I am not sure how old this girl is but she is so mature and so down to earth. She seems so surreal in a very positive way. The type of good girl a man would want to be next to. Secure, pretty, intelligent, wise and such a nice toned voice!
It does seem that way, but you don't have to buy everything at once or even buy everything. There's also a lot of good advice on building a minimalist wardrobe. You can start with that and add some other pieces later on. But it does cost a good bit of money upfront, if you want well-fitting, quality items that are going to last for years. Cheaper items (especially dress shoes) generally need to be replaced more often, and you'll probably end up spending more money overall and not looking as good.
Hi Courtney can you please make a video talking about the differences between classy and having class, and also explaining the different types of attitudes that is professional and unprofessional.
my favortie parts on this is casual jackets Fitted suits (haven’t worn suits long timee) Button down Sunglasses & boots/shoes I don’t know about a watch.. I suck at math
Not necessarily good looking but definitely at least mildly fit. Lots of superchunks out there who can't swing this stuff. Eat less, move more or shut the f up

Fact is,the average-looking or not-so-handsome guy can get a girl's attention by being confident and following the rules Courtney suggests. Knowledge about men's clothing doesn't hurt either.
That is some phenomenal advice. To the point and you emphasized in the end it’s about confidence. I think changing up styles is scary for most people at first but after time you get used to it and don’t feel so uncomfortable. I think a lot of people are used to buying less expensive items to save money but since the quality is not very good they actually end up spending more in the long run because it falls apart so quickly. I like to spend a little more on something that will last. Some brand suggestions would be nice and helpful. Myself, I like Frye boots, Diesel boot cut jeans, Soul Revolver slim fit leather jackets, Ray Ban glasses, white Puma sneakers, nice slim fit above the knee or just at the knee shorts. Most of those are all expensive but you don’t need a lot of them and they will all last for years and years and they will look better over time. Jeans don’t need to be washed after every wear either so they keep the color. Where I go cheap on is shirts. You can load your closet full of t-shirts, Henley’s, sweaters, etc by getting them for cheap during holiday sales or just shopping around. Different cuts, styles, colors etc. I don’t think anyone should spend more than about $20 on a top, you just gotta search around.
Your videos are great! Can you possibly tell me where I might find the blouse you're wearing? My girlfriends birthday is coming up and it's very much her style.
Some great tips here. Specially button shirt, leather jacket, dark denim jeans and watch (I wear all these). Yes women do look at shoes! Great stuff and you have a lovely delivery.
My personal thoughts on this topic 1. A great suit is nice. 2. Button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up looks fantastic, but your models have it wrong. Two folds, the depth of the cuff, is the key. Flat rollbacks look way better than these guy's arm-restricting rolls. Shirt sleeves done right, look so cool! Especially if you have darkish hair on those forearms. 3. Can't stand t shirts that have a crew neck. You look like you're choking. Get a handful of great v-necks. Skip the pastel-ly stuff. Go for masculine colors, such as gunmetal, brownish tans, black and navy. (Navy can almost look dressed up.) 4. Pullover sweaters are for city guys or sissies. Sorry, I don't know any manly men who regularly wear those. Date? Okay, a sweater with a shawl collar is pretty hot right now and really attractive! Also, a thin tech knit pullover in a dark color is alright. Much more sexy than a bulky knit. 5. Blazer, good idea but lose the white pants!!! 6. I LOVE leather jackets--very cool, never out of style! Worth the expenditure in the budget if you have a fairly trim body. If you are overweight though, I'm sorry, but it changes into "trying too hard". Don't really care for denim jackets. 7. Skinny jeans look silly on guys and make them look like teeny boppers and their feet look enormous. 8. I like the first shoes she shows, the leather ones. White sneakers (men actually wear "sneakers"?) are for sissies. Shoes are almost the last thing I notice, though. 9. Totally agree on the sunglasses. 10. Totally agree on the watch. She's right, a girl's not going to nosey up to see what brand watch he has on. If it looks cool--that's good enough! 11. A great look for a date is a pair of black jeans with a fine-checked button-down (in black also, but red can work). Roll those sleeves!
solid list. dark blue/navy denim jeans are the best. that is my most important clothing item, any t shirt goes with them, but white t shirts look amazing with them, plus a pair of red converse-that three piece is perfect for the casual outfit. navy-white-grey colour scheme has been found by psychologists to be the most attractive colour scheme for a man to wear. it makes any one look good. just a note on the sunglasses tenth point-tinted glasses are massively on trend in hollywood.these are suitably for indoors specifically as they are made to counter photophobia from florescent light and phone/computer blue light specifically. and are lightly tinted so designed for indoors. for some celebrities though, they don't use them for light sensitivity, -only for the style element. johnny depp is known for blue tinted ones. robert downey jr is the king of these and has made them very cool with lots of different tints. but usually an orangey-brownish light tint, and we all know how stylishly cool he is. i'm photophobic-migrainal, so i have to wear them,-i've got four different pairs-different tints-a few of them similar to downey junior's, and they definitely get me noticed and plenty of complements.
Debating between a suit & a sport jacket (not sure what I got is this)...for a highly formal event....I think you got it down pretty simply, suit it is...
I used to wear sunglasses indoors lol, not anymore tho it's so dumb, with one exception. I use sunglasses indoors when I play peekaboo with a baby, one of my mates has a 10 month old bundle of joy and blessings, and he (baby) has this weird liking for glasses on people's face, and funny faces make him smile so yeah I sometimes indoors wear the sunnies and flip em up and down to make baby laugh and play around (I take em off when I'm done 🤣).
Watches: you should own at least two, one casual and one spiffy. Also, a brown band with brown shoes/belt, black with black. Stainless or gold goes with anything except athletic wear.
Nice video! What break would you recommend for suit trousers? I usually go for something like a half-break on jeans and chinos, but prefer something a little closer to a full-break for a suit.
Courtney, great vid! I think most guys who make these videos are doing a good job, but it is nice to have it from a girl’s perspective. Keep up the good work. I liked and subscribed.
I wear polo button downs with the sleeves rolled up..which shows my other sleeves..LOL All good choices you made. Might be worth looking into a online business doing coordinated collections. I've seen online stores that have personal shopper reps that put together outfits and ship every month. Not sure how well the personal shopper pay is but thought of it while watching this video.
You're absolutely correct about the suit thing cause I love a perfect fitting suit cause I have quite a few of them...ohhh Ive seen all of these before its all a matter of style...and class some scenarios just don't agree with me...Ive got my own style...
Just came across this video. Thank you for sharing these great tips. When I am out I noticed that a lot of guys do neglect their footwear. I always make sure my shoes are clean and polished....and the last item i would add is SMILE....😄
A list of classic style elements. One would be hard pressed to take issue with these suggestions. I disagree on watches though...it needs to be quality, but that's just me.
I wear a lot of black clothes, almost the 90% of my clothes are black, I have all those clothes you said Courtney but in black color haha I just love minimalism
"They say" you are what you wear. So to turn that topic the other way around (maybe an idea for content): I work in the restaurant business, father of three, single, house owner, have active kids that does swimming, soccer and taekwondo. WHAT DO (or should) I WEAR? 😃
...and my watch preference are the Nomos Ahoi Atlantik (my weekend watch), Casio MDV-106 Duro (super, cheap daily beater), and my hopefully next purchase, Grand Seiko SBGA211 Snowflake.
Thank you again. I REALLY need to buy new clothes..... the problem is that I dont like to go shopping so much, not for myself at least. But I really should. (I Subscribed to your channel now, you do really great videos.)
Hey! Is it okay to wear slightly more dressy looking boots over dress shoes for formal wear? I personally hate the look and fit of dress shoes. Would a boot like thursday boot get the job done? Curious to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
Great video Courtney. I would like to share my opinion with you and this marvellous community and to know if you agree or don't agree with me. I am italian, so I hope that my english Is clear enough. First of all, I must say that a lot of girls find me physically attractive. Each year in my school about three girls of others class wanted to know me and this happened sistematically. Personally I think to know why girls was so interested in me. The only think that I did is to be in health, tall, thin with a bit of muscle. Actually, I am like a lot of men. So why girls was so interested? My answer is this: I show off these characterists of my body with my tight-fitting clothing: simply t-shirt and jeans (usually I weared also a leather jacket, always tight-fitting). I also play with contrasto colors, do example with t-shirt under Brown leather jacket. These are absolutely unexpensive but they did so much to attract woman. What let me gaped, Is that a lot of men do not understand that and they wear large t-shirt that Hide their body. I do not know why, It Is simple to understand that. After all, this Is what all women do and allow them to be so attractive for men. Think One Moment, If girls wear large t-shirt or/and jeans, these, of course lose a lot of attractiveness in men. Why men do not do the same? That is what I think, I would like to know what you think about my thought Courtney. Of course I do not know you, but I listened so much videos that you created and I feel you have a sincere and good soul. Usually that characterists Born when Life Is not so Easy with us, that what I percive. Thanks for what you do. Have good time Courtney!!
I'm fairly wealthly and generous so my women friends and my main girl friend let me get away with almost anything and any look exept maybe a dirty fingernail or two. Life is good. I enjoy your comments. Thanks, Thailand Paul
Nick Magliano thank you! I like Henleys a lot. The only thing to keep in mind is the way it fits! If they’re too big it looks sloppy and if they’re too tight it looks like the jersey shore show 😂
Great topic Courtney and well presented, this applies to men from your generation. How about one for the more mature gentleman, we know that you young ladies are looking . 👀😀😷
I’m going to do a video soon for more mature men too! You’re right, a couple of these are definitely targeted for younger guys. Thanks for the feedback Kevin! ❤️
"A watch shows that you are punctual, and a girl really cares about that" Yea, women should never talk about punctuality tbh. I wear a watch so that I know I should ditch a date when she is 10 mins late.
The only problem I have with the suit thing, is where the heck would I even wear it to? What's the point of having clothes, even if it is the sexiest thing a guy can where, if there's no where you go where it would make sense
Fun video -- thank you, Courtney. Your personality made it enjoyable to watch. I own multiples of all these items, but it's good advice for younger guys. It's also always good to know what women think, which is often a mystery to us dudes.
Have you done a video on mens scents? There are a whole bunch on UA-cam but I still cannot decide on the one to spend money on. I want a casual, every day fresh scent that will get positive comments :)
Personally I am not a big fashion guy. In general when I hear women talking about fashion in public. It's a turnoff. Kind of like what women think of men who like a lot of sports. And then talk about it a lot.
Well i live in Sydney Australia so 90 % of the time here is board shorts/cargo shorts, singlet and thongs / flip flops and possibly a flanno if it's cold, bit like California suppose !!
In essence good looking guys wear whatever they feel like and look great right? Recently I had a casual date, two days later we spoke on the phone, she quizzed me what was I wearing: to that I answer I have no idea I wasn't paying attention to your clothes. Turns out she was able to describe my clothes down to my shoes.
Sorry, but for me, the message a WRIST watch sends out is that you HAVE to care about the time, not that you are successful... having a POCKET watch, on the other hand, shows that you actually have the time to check the time when needed (to be punctual, which in this case means NOT TOO EARLY!), and that you have style (with the right clothing, that is - and yes, that small pocket in your - hopefully dark - jeans actually *IS* for a pocket watch, not for change, and works just fine for one if you don't wear a vest ;-) ), but that the watch is not so important that you have to have it right in front of you all the time, which would mean it kind of dictates your life and that you are worried you might be TOO LATE (read: it looks like OTHERS decide about how you spend your time, or that your natural timekeeping is so bad that you have to have it in clear sight all the time to not miss appointments - which as such shows that being organized is probably not one of your main qualities, either!)... People who are successful (and have a good work/life balance because of that - which doesn't necessarily mean to be rich, btw) don't *need* a wrist watch. They *might* wear a pocket watch, but nowadays, you have so many watches around you all the time that you really don't need one on your wrist anymore anyways... if you are wearing a wrist watch, that shows me that you have some issues with your time keeping and organizational skills, that's all (or, if it is an expensive one, that you have to brag about how much money you have - it's the same thing as with an expensive sports car, or big SUV, or truck btw... I think "need to compensate for something" was the term... ;-) ). But that's of course just my personal opinion. ;-)

It does seem that way, but you don't have to buy everything at once or even buy everything. There's also a lot of good advice on building a minimalist wardrobe. You can start with that and add some other pieces later on.
But it does cost a good bit of money upfront, if you want well-fitting, quality items that are going to last for years. Cheaper items (especially dress shoes) generally need to be replaced more often, and you'll probably end up spending more money overall and not looking as good.
Nope. Hardly that simple. Clothes that fit is hardly "all the clothes". Being a bit discerning goes a long ways
Hi Courtney can you please make a video talking about the differences between classy and having class, and also explaining the different types of attitudes that is professional and unprofessional.
my favortie parts on this is casual jackets
Fitted suits (haven’t worn suits long timee)
Button down
Sunglasses & boots/shoes
I don’t know about a watch.. I suck at math
The title of the video should be :
10 things that good looking men wear that women love.

Not necessarily good looking but definitely at least mildly fit.

Fact is,the average-looking or not-so-handsome guy can get a girl's attention by being confident and following the rules Courtney suggests. Knowledge about men's clothing doesn't hurt either.
A crisp white shirt with black trousers looks and feels so good.
That is some phenomenal advice. To the point and you emphasized in the end it’s about confidence. I think changing up styles is scary for most people at first but after time you get used to it and don’t feel so uncomfortable. I think a lot of people are used to buying less expensive items to save money but since the quality is not very good they actually end up spending more in the long run because it falls apart so quickly. I like to spend a little more on something that will last. Some brand suggestions would be nice and helpful. Myself, I like Frye boots, Diesel boot cut jeans, Soul Revolver slim fit leather jackets, Ray Ban glasses, white Puma sneakers, nice slim fit above the knee or just at the knee shorts. Most of those are all expensive but you don’t need a lot of them and they will all last for years and years and they will look better over time. Jeans don’t need to be washed after every wear either so they keep the color. Where I go cheap on is shirts. You can load your closet full of t-shirts, Henley’s, sweaters, etc by getting them for cheap during holiday sales or just shopping around. Different cuts, styles, colors etc. I don’t think anyone should spend more than about $20 on a top, you just gotta search around.
While the information is very basic, it was a good "Check List" and a well presented reminder. Phil.
Your videos are great! Can you possibly tell me where I might find the blouse you're wearing? My girlfriends birthday is coming up and it's very much her style.
Some great tips here. Specially button shirt, leather jacket, dark denim jeans and watch (I wear all these). Yes women do look at shoes! Great stuff and you have a lovely delivery.
Men do too. Along with the rest of the look. It's a simple fairly accurate vetting process
My personal thoughts on this topic
1. A great suit is nice.
2. Button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up looks fantastic, but your models have it wrong. Two folds, the depth of the cuff, is the key. Flat rollbacks look way better than these guy's arm-restricting rolls. Shirt sleeves done right, look so cool! Especially if you have darkish hair on those forearms.
3. Can't stand t shirts that have a crew neck. You look like you're choking. Get a handful of great v-necks. Skip the pastel-ly stuff. Go for masculine colors, such as gunmetal, brownish tans, black and navy. (Navy can almost look dressed up.)
4. Pullover sweaters are for city guys or sissies. Sorry, I don't know any manly men who regularly wear those. Date? Okay, a sweater with a shawl collar is pretty hot right now and really attractive! Also, a thin tech knit pullover in a dark color is alright. Much more sexy than a bulky knit.
5. Blazer, good idea but lose the white pants!!!
6. I LOVE leather jackets--very cool, never out of style! Worth the expenditure in the budget if you have a fairly trim body. If you are overweight though, I'm sorry, but it changes into "trying too hard". Don't really care for denim jackets.
7. Skinny jeans look silly on guys and make them look like teeny boppers and their feet look enormous.
8. I like the first shoes she shows, the leather ones. White sneakers (men actually wear "sneakers"?) are for sissies. Shoes are almost the last thing I notice, though.
9. Totally agree on the sunglasses.
10. Totally agree on the watch. She's right, a girl's not going to nosey up to see what brand watch he has on. If it looks cool--that's good enough!
11. A great look for a date is a pair of black jeans with a fine-checked button-down (in black also, but red can work). Roll those sleeves!
solid list. dark blue/navy denim jeans are the best. that is my most important clothing item, any t shirt goes with them, but white t shirts look amazing with them, plus a pair of red converse-that three piece is perfect for the casual outfit. navy-white-grey colour scheme has been found by psychologists to be the most attractive colour scheme for a man to wear. it makes any one look good. just a note on the sunglasses tenth point-tinted glasses are massively on trend in hollywood.these are suitably for indoors specifically as they are made to counter photophobia from florescent light and phone/computer blue light specifically. and are lightly tinted so designed for indoors. for some celebrities though, they don't use them for light sensitivity, -only for the style element. johnny depp is known for blue tinted ones. robert downey jr is the king of these and has made them very cool with lots of different tints. but usually an orangey-brownish light tint, and we all know how stylishly cool he is. i'm photophobic-migrainal, so i have to wear them,-i've got four different pairs-different tints-a few of them similar to downey junior's, and they definitely get me noticed and plenty of complements.
you can wear anything and looks good as long as you know what youre doing and being confident with it.
I wear squidward hat, everybody laugh to me
I want to start a swearbox type thing for every time someone talking about fashion on UA-cam says ‘nice’.
Nice bro cool dude
Oh man, so true 👍!
nice
Debating between a suit & a sport jacket (not sure what I got is this)...for a highly formal event....I think you got it down pretty simply, suit it is...
I feel confident in my Star Wars tee and Brooks running shoes with jeans.
I'd say be healthy and hydrated, and most things will look pretty good on you
Just discovered this channel and I love it. Love it.
That makes me happy! Glad you’re here! ❤️
Great content and importantly you come across very genuine ,thank you . You have a new subscriber in me ,from England Uk 🇬🇧
I used to wear sunglasses indoors lol, not anymore tho it's so dumb, with one exception. I use sunglasses indoors when I play peekaboo with a baby, one of my mates has a 10 month old bundle of joy and blessings, and he (baby) has this weird liking for glasses on people's face, and funny faces make him smile so yeah I sometimes indoors wear the sunnies and flip em up and down to make baby laugh and play around (I take em off when I'm done 🤣).
Watches: you should own at least two, one casual and one spiffy. Also, a brown band with brown shoes/belt, black with black. Stainless or gold goes with anything except athletic wear.
Nice video! What break would you recommend for suit trousers? I usually go for something like a half-break on jeans and chinos, but prefer something a little closer to a full-break for a suit.
I recently found your channel and I absolutely adore the videos you make.
Content aside, you seem so genuine and pure. I Wish you the best.
Nice video, I like your presentation, straightforward, and honest.
Courtney, great vid! I think most guys who make these videos are doing a good job, but it is nice to have it from a girl’s perspective. Keep up the good work. I liked and subscribed.
Could you give some advice for men's vests (with jacket/without jacket...with ties/without ties, etc. Thank you. Great info!
I wear polo button downs with the sleeves rolled up..which shows my other sleeves..LOL All good choices you made. Might be worth looking into a online business doing coordinated collections. I've seen online stores that have personal shopper reps that put together outfits and ship every month. Not sure how well the personal shopper pay is but thought of it while watching this video.
Haha! Thank you so much. I’ve never looked into that but I probably should 😂 could be a nice little side hustle if anything!
You're absolutely correct about the suit thing cause I love a perfect fitting suit cause I have quite a few of them...ohhh Ive seen all of these before its all a matter of style...and class some scenarios just don't agree with me...Ive got my own style...
always good to get a ladies view!
👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Just came across this video. Thank you for sharing these great tips. When I am out I noticed that a lot of guys do neglect their footwear. I always make sure my shoes are clean and polished....and the last item i would add is SMILE....😄
Yeah, it can be pretty groundbreaking when you realize women are more attentive to your footwear than your hair. I learned this truth at an early age
Could you make a video on dressing style for men (chubby, broad shoulders, muscular legs) we have clothing size problems everywhere.
@1:37, the left shirt is a button up shirt, while the right shirt is a button down shirt.
There's a slight difference.
Love the videos Courtney! I did want to ask, where can I find a girl that shares traditional values?
Love your voice! and the way you explain everything about men’s fashion...
A list of classic style elements. One would be hard pressed to take issue with these suggestions. I disagree on watches though...it needs to be quality, but that's just me.
I have all 10 covered. I have and wear them all, except for the T-shirt. I wear a shirt (button down) instead.
I wear a lot of black clothes, almost the 90% of my clothes are black, I have all those clothes you said Courtney but in black color haha I just love minimalism
All very helpful tips- thank you!
Just realized that this is geared toward guys that live in the city
Another great video to your credit. Keep up the good work. Brian
"They say" you are what you wear. So to turn that topic the other way around (maybe an idea for content):
I work in the restaurant business, father of three, single, house owner, have active kids that does swimming, soccer and taekwondo.
WHAT DO (or should) I WEAR? 😃
...and my watch preference are the Nomos Ahoi Atlantik (my weekend watch), Casio MDV-106 Duro (super, cheap daily beater), and my hopefully next purchase, Grand Seiko SBGA211 Snowflake.
This is such a great idea!! 👏🏼
Thank you again. I REALLY need to buy new clothes..... the problem is that I dont like to go shopping so much, not for myself at least. But I really should. (I Subscribed to your channel now, you do really great videos.)
Hey! Is it okay to wear slightly more dressy looking boots over dress shoes for formal wear? I personally hate the look and fit of dress shoes. Would a boot like thursday boot get the job done? Curious to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
I agree with other comments that wearing cologne makes a difference
Great video Courtney. I would like to share my opinion with you and this marvellous community and to know if you agree or don't agree with me. I am italian, so I hope that my english Is clear enough. First of all, I must say that a lot of girls find me physically attractive. Each year in my school about three girls of others class wanted to know me and this happened sistematically. Personally I think to know why girls was so interested in me. The only think that I did is to be in health, tall, thin with a bit of muscle. Actually, I am like a lot of men. So why girls was so interested? My answer is this: I show off these characterists of my body with my tight-fitting clothing: simply t-shirt and jeans (usually I weared also a leather jacket, always tight-fitting). I also play with contrasto colors, do example with t-shirt under Brown leather jacket. These are absolutely unexpensive but they did so much to attract woman. What let me gaped, Is that a lot of men do not understand that and they wear large t-shirt that Hide their body. I do not know why, It Is simple to understand that. After all, this Is what all women do and allow them to be so attractive for men. Think One Moment, If girls wear large t-shirt or/and jeans, these, of course lose a lot of attractiveness in men. Why men do not do the same? That is what I think, I would like to know what you think about my thought Courtney.
Of course I do not know you, but I listened so much videos that you created and I feel you have a sincere and good soul. Usually that characterists Born when Life Is not so Easy with us, that what I percive. Thanks for what you do. Have good time Courtney!!
I wear my sunglasses indoors sometimes so I people don’t look directly into my eyes and to mainly avoid people.
I'm fairly wealthly and generous so my women friends and my main girl friend let me get away with almost anything and any look exept maybe a dirty fingernail or two. Life is good. I enjoy your comments. Thanks, Thailand Paul
Great video! Thoughts on Henleys???
Nick Magliano thank you! I like Henleys a lot. The only thing to keep in mind is the way it fits! If they’re too big it looks sloppy and if they’re too tight it looks like the jersey shore show 😂
Great topic Courtney and well presented, this applies to men from your generation. How about one for the more mature gentleman, we know that you young ladies are looking . 👀😀😷
I’m going to do a video soon for more mature men too! You’re right, a couple of these are definitely targeted for younger guys. Thanks for the feedback Kevin! ❤️
"A watch shows that you are punctual, and a girl really cares about that" Yea, women should never talk about punctuality tbh. I wear a watch so that I know I should ditch a date when she is 10 mins late.
The only problem I have with the suit thing, is where the heck would I even wear it to? What's the point of having clothes, even if it is the sexiest thing a guy can where, if there's no where you go where it would make sense
2024 we wearing suits to the gas station to fill up on pump 7. 💪
Teddy is a lucky man is all I’m saying, thanks for this video Courtney! 😎
Fun video -- thank you, Courtney. Your personality made it enjoyable to watch. I own multiples of all these items, but it's good advice for younger guys. It's also always good to know what women think, which is often a mystery to us dudes.
Have you done a video on mens scents? There are a whole bunch on UA-cam but I still cannot decide on the one to spend money on. I want a casual, every day fresh scent that will get positive comments :)
Personally I am not a big fashion guy. In general when I hear women talking about fashion in public. It's a turnoff. Kind of like what women think of men who like a lot of sports. And then talk about it a lot.
Sooooo... a well fitting suit, jacket, t-shirt and a sweater. Well done.
great video Courtney, do you think it's a good idea to wear a hat or a sports cap ?
I’m not into dressing up too much, not into dress shoes. I will put them on and all that but sneakers is my thing.
Waaaaait a second! Is Teddy Baldassarre your guy?! That’s my guy! Way to go Courtney, a proper gent!
Well i live in Sydney Australia so 90 % of the time here is board shorts/cargo shorts, singlet and thongs / flip flops and possibly a flanno if it's cold, bit like California suppose !!
Good idea for fashion items!
In essence good looking guys wear whatever they feel like and look great right? Recently I had a casual date, two days later we spoke on the phone, she quizzed me what was I wearing: to that I answer I have no idea I wasn't paying attention to your clothes. Turns out she was able to describe my clothes down to my shoes.
I think you could add Henleys, I think it can bring up some casual look.
Henleys are great.
Very helpful. Keep growing ❤️.
Great advice, thank you for the video, Courtney.
Hi Courtney, I’m just wandering what are your thoughts about a dress shirt with a collar bar?
Sorry, but for me, the message a WRIST watch sends out is that you HAVE to care about the time, not that you are successful... having a POCKET watch, on the other hand, shows that you actually have the time to check the time when needed (to be punctual, which in this case means NOT TOO EARLY!), and that you have style (with the right clothing, that is - and yes, that small pocket in your - hopefully dark - jeans actually *IS* for a pocket watch, not for change, and works just fine for one if you don't wear a vest ;-) ), but that the watch is not so important that you have to have it right in front of you all the time, which would mean it kind of dictates your life and that you are worried you might be TOO LATE (read: it looks like OTHERS decide about how you spend your time, or that your natural timekeeping is so bad that you have to have it in clear sight all the time to not miss appointments - which as such shows that being organized is probably not one of your main qualities, either!)...
People who are successful (and have a good work/life balance because of that - which doesn't necessarily mean to be rich, btw) don't *need* a wrist watch. They *might* wear a pocket watch, but nowadays, you have so many watches around you all the time that you really don't need one on your wrist anymore anyways... if you are wearing a wrist watch, that shows me that you have some issues with your time keeping and organizational skills, that's all (or, if it is an expensive one, that you have to brag about how much money you have - it's the same thing as with an expensive sports car, or big SUV, or truck btw... I think "need to compensate for something" was the term... ;-) ).
But that's of course just my personal opinion. ;-)
Leather jacket and fabric both like to use
Thanks Courtney, love your presentation and manner, excellent.
