I was a stockbroker in the late '80s. Many of us younger guys took our cues from 'Wall Street'. I dressed like Gordon some days and Bud on others. The old-timers (who mostly dressed like Lou Mannhiem) just rolled their eyes.
Ofc. I read that at the navy weapons fighting school , or how it is named, the top gun, if you quote the movie your superiors give you a penalty of several dollars. Ahahah
Oooh, can you please do American Psycho next? Might have to be at a much later date since the demographic and era are nearly identical, but I'd love to see this.

Keep in mind, the editor has a say in what the intro looks like. Here, Chris did an awesome job. He had that vision of doing it that way. Sometimes we also have a few different takes and the editor chooses what to make of it...
I was in college at the time and oh my did we like that film. We loved the power suit. I moved to Washington DC in 1988 and was there for the end of the Reagon suits. I still have one "banker's" tie from the 80s. Thank you for such a fun story.
I went to high school and college in the 1980s....and saw the progression from the leisure suits of the late 70s to the Wall Street look of the 80s...I interned at a telecom's marketing department from 1986 to 1988 and you could definitely see the influence Wall Street had on men's fashions...namely the power ties and suspenders. From that point on...any suit I have tailored has suspender buttons sewn in...of course I know work in IT and remotely so I rarely have to wear a suit now.
Starting at 16! Definitely not self dependent but when I'll be I know what to do, wear, act like, etc. All thanks to this channel, Love it! Found it yesterday, can't stop watching, Love from India!
hey, im also 16! im getting my first suit tailored (its cheaper to get it tailored in my country) i'd say try to go with the simpler stuff first, take in count that your climate is tropical, i am also used to that so, get some pants, maybe pleaded or not, in some light color, with a shirt, try getting very thin cotton for the fabric, as it helps a lot because of the heat, suspenders make the whole thing look casual but elegant, you can also use a belt, for shoes you can go for either dress shoes like the derby, or you can also get loafers, to try and get a more casual look. Have a good one :)
I love suspenders and wear them to work everyday (there are plenty of women that also find them fascinating, if you happen to have shoulders more broad than your waistline); I have a royal blue pair that is a wider band, a black wider band and a black narrowband. I also have a medium band pastel red, a sharp purple medium band, as well as a Realtree and Pittsburgh Penguins style suspenders. I do have a grey pair yet they are old and do not sit flush
Gotta love his signature "Ace". It's like he was really saying something else. Of course the hair is there and no one else had that. Gekko's power suspenders were actually kinda cool. Not as bold as Mork and Mindy though.
I'm so glad you made this video. I got myself a shirt like gecko's and suspenders. Only my brother got the reference but yeah made me feel great for a long while. I still do so time to time
The resources and availability of the best style is unfortunately wasted on the worst people. Not to only harp on negatives outside of the gentlemens control... Fantastic and thorough analysis fellas. Absolutely great video.
I’ve been watching GG for years now and this is one of my favorite episodes. It would be cool to see a full What Men Wore: 1980s episode someday. Also I find it interesting @19:30 to hear that bold suspenders were used to add a bit of levity, the way that the ‘wacky sock’ fad of this decade does. As a child of the 80s from a blue collar family I used to dream of growing up and emulating ‘big business’ types portrayed in films like this one (heck, just look at my profile name!)
This is awesome. I have a recommendation. Can you guys do a Menswear Expert Review on American Psycho. I think it'll an awesome video just like this one.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a thorough analysis of the suits worn in Wall Street. I loved dressing like this going into work early in my career. I had a Fumagalli maroon paisley tie like Gekko had, I wore it until it fell apart. Heck I might dress like this again once we start going back into the office! Question, what did you think about the suits Sir Larry Wildman ( Terence Stamp) wore? I saw a double breasted Prince of Wales pattern (?) as boarded his plane?
Interestingly the banker collar and cuffs were originally a way to stretch the lifespan of a shirt when the collar and cuffs wore out they were replaced with white. It was an economy which became a fashion, much like elbow patches on a jacket or cardigan.
Hey Guys, I'am a long hair surfer dude, but I love wearing suits and I learned a LOT from this channel, could you make a video on how to wear suits with long hairs??
It's very unfair you didn't mention NINO CERRUTI (he's gone recently, R.i.p.) who is the MAIN reason why this movie and many others (Basic Instinct, Pretty Woman, American Psycho, Fatal Attraction etc...) show off these wonderful and super classy suits and outfits.
9:00 Is spezzatura not sprezzatura. Spezzato, mean broken in half circa, more or less and mean the dresses. Sprezzato mean something like disliked, disprecful. Sorry for my English. Btw i notice that, trough i haven't even watched wall street, i m a little bit too Gekko sometime in my outfit. I mean often i use particular spezzati for my daily outfit.
it would be cool to get an own episode of the GG about "Gold Accessories" in Mens ware. In my mid late 20s i cant see myself ever to wear a gold watch or gold ring. will it come back? when was it cool and when out etc
if the impact on the real men's fashion was there, then why still we do not see men wearing the beautiful suspenders? Bygone era I think. Plus we need a lots of movies to influence on fashion, peaky blinders and boardwalk empire alone are not enough. lets hope!
Say I just wanted to ask if you guys have ever watched Murdoch Mysteries ? They wear vintage (1890) clothes and to me I would like to know if the costumes are accurate to the time depicted, could you comment ?
Hold on a minute I don't see any of these colors you're mentioning that tie was wearing it wasn't a purple and pink Paisley tie that was a dark color tie I think you're seeing the colors differently than I am I'm seeing minimalistic colors honestly I'm seeing are like darker colors not the whole not these colors you're mentioning and also I don't get this why do you see these colors but I don't let me know that in the comments bye
Hold on a minute hold on a minute what what's so in stylish about wearing a polo shirt with a with a literal suit like I don't get this what's wrong with wearing a polo shirt underneath a suit look I understand you're going for more classic looks my opinion I mean I hear like an address for more classical standpoint but in truth why what's so wrong with the guy wearing a polo shirt underneath a suit I think it was at that that looks good I think I copy that in fact bye
Video starts at 1:26 if you want to skip the annoying intro. Also, could you stop with those annoying jokes? I was unable to watched the video because of them.

Haven't watched the video yet, but looking forward to it - the long-awaited format is here!
Thank you for bringing it to us, gentlemen!
I never put together Bill Lumberg as a clearance rack Gordon Gecko, but it makes so much sense.
Which reminds me....I need to update the coversheets on my TPS reports.

Wallstreet is one of the greatest movies of all time. Great presentation, gentlemen.
You all nailed it. Great review of Wall Street.

All good, but do you wear it with high waisted pants?
The biggest mistake I see with suspenders is when they are also worn with a belt. 😫
@@azy63 Oh god, and that too clip ons.

What’s so bad about bankers?
I have to hand it to you guys--I've about abandoned my sweats for more interesting combinations. Thanks, and keep it up!
Great video!! Make one about “American Psycho”.

This man has a great voice
the watch technically isnt a santos cartier but a santos galbee, santos de cartier is the new model from 2018
Very thorough, well-presented and researched. Excellent....I'm off to find a club collar shirt...
Hey! I'd really enjoy a "Peaky Blinders" review because surprisingly, many people started being interested channels like this, because of that show.
He is secretly a kingsman secret service i know
Please do American Psycho also. I think the ensembles there emulate the Wall Street look quite well whilst also being acceptable nowadays.
This is awesome. I have a recommendation. Can you guys do a Menswear Expert Review on American Psycho. I think it'll an awesome video just like this one.

Already the best Video of 2022
Big blooper: They talk about the space shuttle Challenger blowing up in '85; it actually happened in January of '86.
American Psycho, please and thank you!
Who is in for a American Psycho menswear review next?
I should like to see that, myself
This must be the place.
Now that you touched upon Office Space, please do a full review on that with the fashions! Thanks!
Gordon Gekko, Patrick Bateman and Bill Lumbergh all had that iconic 80's style.
you deserve a movie appearance as a classy hit man under-covered as an accountant or lawyer
The fashion in "Mad Men" is also very nice.
Flusser noticeably padded Douglass in the shoulders
Interestingly the banker collar and cuffs were originally a way to stretch the lifespan of a shirt when the collar and cuffs wore out they were replaced with white. It was an economy which became a fashion, much like elbow patches on a jacket or cardigan.
The wide, loose fit as you refer to it, actually originated in the 30s.
Very interesting video...

Please review Shutter Island next!! Lots of great classic mens fashion in that film
Should do American Psycho next
Fantastic!
I was wondering if you guys w'd do a video analysis of men's clothing in Hergé's Tintin universe.
That would definitely be interesting.
Do wolf of wall street
Interested to hear about your modern take on Wall Street and the “power” fleece vest lol
Cargo pants!
Great vid guys.
I think the 2011 series "Suits" is something worthy of a visit!
You gotta get those numbers up!!!
Urban Cowboy & Saturday Night Fever next, please!
im getting scared that when i (hopefully) start working at wall street in some years that people dont wear suits at work anymore
Unfortunately times have changed
Excellent video
Review American Psycho
Say the magic word, geez
@@channingcheese2 the magic word, geez

Lesser known but the Pope of Greenwich Village a good movie with style to review.

Suspenders of disbelief. ;)
What about wolf of the wall street ?
Expert?
Dr. Cox 💙
I just might be the only man in N.J. who stills wears suspenders among his dress clothes.
Wall Street || : Money Never Sleeps? Also a good movie, that ties in with the first film, obviously. Do that one.
Loved this movie, so I'll watch lol
Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. Have you considered smaller glasses?
6:14 That's not "imposing." That's an imposition whiffing of stale KFC gas.
Suspenders: In the 80s, teens wore suspenders dangling behind their butts.
Next up, the Sopranos?
1987
👍
So no one's going to say anything about how this man says Carnegie? 💀
I absolutely love the man whose speaking in this video , he’s so articulate and dapper ! Totally deserves a hot wife !
If you were going to Eternal Sunshine yourself to forget an entire decade of fashion it would have to be the 80s. Terrifying.
How about doing 'Vienna Blood', a BBC crime drama set at the turn of the 19th/20th Century. Worth watching the whole series anyway.
I work at Bluestar if y'all want to “invest“ sport
And leather bags in redbrown, i dont like this color.
First
I hated that look...Valentino suits, suspenders, Oliver Peeples glasses. Everyone looked the same and dorky.
Hold on a minute I don't see any of these colors you're mentioning that tie was wearing it wasn't a purple and pink Paisley tie that was a dark color tie I think you're seeing the colors differently than I am I'm seeing minimalistic colors honestly I'm seeing are like darker colors not the whole not these colors you're mentioning and also I don't get this why do you see these colors but I don't let me know that in the comments bye
What you describe may have been Wall Street style, it wasn't the style in Texas. The style of clothing is totally location dependent.
Competition trumps greed
Ahhh...but people only compete when they want MORE of something - hence the greed. Greed+Competition for the win!
Hold on a minute hold on a minute what what's so in stylish about wearing a polo shirt with a with a literal suit like I don't get this what's wrong with wearing a polo shirt underneath a suit look I understand you're going for more classic looks my opinion I mean I hear like an address for more classical standpoint but in truth why what's so wrong with the guy wearing a polo shirt underneath a suit I think it was at that that looks good I think I copy that in fact bye
