Tim Dessaint is one of the best. Stepping out from his comfort zone to try new things.
Tim dessaint has influenced me so much and he basically turned me into dressing like a bum to dressing actually decent lol, that man is incredibly smooth
@@sonymicronin surprised she didn’t pick any of his newer fits in his post hair cut era. They’re way more fire
@@gilly2026 Yup I agree. And when fashion channel say that men should not wear sandals then tim wears it and it looks fire. That's what I love about his style.
Fact
Nah. His main audience are gay men.
Telling a man how to dress because they’re too old: ✅
Telling a woman how to dress because they are too old: ❌
?
Double standards everywhere
you sound really butt hurt...we talking fashion here
Men don't complain about stuff like that.
? That's literally their job
In my opinion, Ashley is very limited in her style.. she wants to dress every guy the same. Not everyone and not every occasion is good for her sharp/business casual outfit advise.
I try to take any aesthetic advice with a grain of salt because they each only provide one perspective-and who is to say theirs is the only correct one?
@@PHOBlIA if that what makes you feel better about yourself.
Just wear whatever you like. Don’t turn a molehill into a mountain
Hot take
That is very true however she does dress celebrities that at appears to be what their default uniform at the moment. So it's not exactly unexpected.
It also does help that her chosen range for the video don't exactly deviate too far from that type of style. Making anything that's "wrong" seem far bigger than it really is, like single small scratch on a new polished car.
I'm 42 years old, and last fall I bought a Tasso Elba leather jacket, and literally everywhere I go I got compliments on it.
seasons is just a mindset
Seriously, age does not matter. I'll be wearing Rick Owens and a metric fuckton of sterling silver when im in my 80s lol.
@@samgray4566 factsss
@@thepirateking1178 I really don't know why everyone acts like this side of men's fashion is the end all be all look that you have to go for, it's so boring. I'd put it at the very bottom of the tier list. Avant-garde isn't for everyone but you should still be trying to break the mold. Buy some tech ware, buy some designer shit. Look like a million bucks when you leave the house instead of looking like everyone who watches these videos lol.
@@samgray4566 exactly. I feel like people think good fashion equals look like a cookie cutter boy scout who your boomer parents would approve of. Where is the edge?
Wearing my leather jacket means having a midlife crisis? Really? How bout all those 40+ year old women wearing those skin tight yoga leggings as if they're 18-25 y.o.? Thats just sad to see.
Oof! That hit a nerve 🤣. Triggered!
And I guess the countless amount of men who wore leather jackets all throughout history were all having midlife crisis as well
Facts leather jackets aren’t even cool among the younger crowed it’s a older thing.
@@youreannoying depends on who you hangout with. I get compliments on my leather jacket all the time (28).
@@youreannoying oh no, it's more on the affordability of a good quality leather jacket. We love them, way more than cheap made Levi's denim jackets (modern ones), but leather jackets are timeless and not something related to age. In fact, a man buying things during his 40s should be recognized as a man who finally has the money to afford whatever he wants and nobody should talk smack about them
Agree with pretty much everything except the leather jacket-I don’t think they should be limited by age
Me too. It's a classic style not limited to age
I agree but I think the style and fit of a jacket can skew young/juvenile or mature/sophisticated. His jacket is definitely one that screams early 20s to me.
@@blerksnarfgut7332 That's marketing nonsense. Look at Gen Z wearing 90s fits nowadays, when less than a couple years ago, they were considered mom or dad style aesthetics.
Wear whatever you like. People that try and shame you and claim that you're trying to recapture whatever youth is spewing brainwashed, judgmental, double-digit IQ drivel, and have nothing better to contribute to the world than that.
@@12801270able Of course ppl can and should wear whatever they want. I personally feel, though, certain garments and styles of clothing lend themselves better to certain age groups. It's probably just societal conditioning informing my feelings but seeing a fitted leather jacket on a 50 year old man for example, to me, always reads more as a desperate attempt to cling to youth (no matter how good the man may look or feel in it). But to each their own and everyone has the right to express themselves as they see fit.
@@blerksnarfgut7332 If people believe the only reason an older man is wearing a leather jacket is to cling onto youth, then it says more about the people than it does the man in question. There are many other reasons as to why that could be the case, so why must it be the negative, shaming, insecurity version?
A fitted leather jacket on someone like Jared Leto and Keanu Reeves looks more at home than a non fitted leather jacket. Furthermore, fitted leather jackets simply look sleeker and sharper than their baggy variants.
Body shape for this kind of style is more important than age. Age should be a nonfactor here. Only reason is because people have these propagandized ideas of what x age range of people should be like with how they act, dress, behave, live life, whatever. Screw that. Life is short.
Imagine going on a date with this girl ☠️☠️
Not even if it cured my diabetes
Imagine introducing her to your family...
Tim is one of my favourites. Even though I don’t feel like I could pull off a lot of his looks(the baggy, comfort chic trend), I really admire his ability to put outfits together.
Have a look at Harry Haas' channel. Same clean aesthetics just slimmer and trimmer fits.
Same he looks awesome in his style it fits him well, what I really learn from bis channel is to dress for your body, your style and don't be afraid to experiment and truthfully not follow these UA-camrs where it's all about looking as plain as possible and like everyone else
Good overview but I disagree about leather jackets over 40.
True...I ignore that as well.
Leather jackets are timeless
She is a girl bro they dont know anything about guys
I agree.
I've seen comments which absolutely changed their mindset on leather jackets and wanted to throw them away.
They still haven't realised that we mostly dress for ourselves to feel good & confident. Not much for others.
If one feels they look good in a fit, then they look good in that fit. We dress to feel good about ourselves and be confident
@@crow_g1639 most male celebs who hit gq best style are styled by women

The only other reason to wear sunglasses indoors is if your light sensitive or have a disability like an aspie or are blind
i knew u looked familiar
Please rate "one dapper street".
@@clarens9425 ummmm i think it's too late for that, bc they already made a vid on this and just to go back to ad this one extra thing is kinda unisissary altho they might rate others and that could be one of them so u might be in luck :>
@Clarens - Did that in this video - ua-cam.com/video/J-2wM4zXFKM/v-deo.html
I think Alpha m’s jacket is timeless. Maybe the jeans are a little young but he absolutely kills that look.
@@ashisrasaily9448 Obviously 😂 all clothing is subjective. No item of clothing is objectively right or wrong, it's all based on preference (even if the masses go for a trend, it doesn't make that trend objectively correct). Your comment is so strange.
I think he looked great too, people are just bizarre. Being so judgmental of the fabrics other people drape themselves in is SO strange. There is no right or wrong, there is only what feels right to each individual.
I think he look like a kid, like old kid
@@thenae8572 the whole point of fashion commentary is to give opinions in other words to judge. We need to judge to learn.
Midlife crisis jacket?? Any man at any age can wear a leather jacket. Leather is classy no matter what.
And she's supposed to dress celebrities for a living.
Ashley’s style is very 2013 chic she does not seem to have moved on very far from that era
and that's why she is a mens stylist
Keeping us eternally in the past
Ok. I see what youre trying to say. That also made me think, how do we dress in todays time and still look clean and up to date? Do you know any channels that has that?
True. I occasionally hate watch her videos when they pop up in my recommended. She just has this condescending nature with everything and a really bland sense of style. It's no wonder mainstream men's fashion is so boring when people like this are the ones styling celebrities
yeah she wants everyone to dress like with the outfits you see displayed on mannequins at shopping malls lmao
With celebrity advisers like this it's no wonder that Alan Flusser can't name one Hollywood present day style icon !
Quite right.
Nothing wrong with alpha wearing a leather jacket. Saying he can’t cos his age is a bit ridiculous, a good classy leather jacket is timeless. Also older men can get away with nicely faded jeans too, but I agree alpha’s are wayyy overly bleached but I say each to their own (well maybe). Other than that I agree with pretty much everything else, good vid Ashley
Ashley is bit of a fashion narc
His jacket isn’t classy. It’s cheap looking and a silly design. She’s right
@@mundie33 yeah like wearing a leather jacket screams classy lol.
She is right it looks tacky and desperate
@@miguelcardenas2413 there are decent options but what he's wearing sucks
Tim Dessaint is one of my favorite fashion channel, because his videos are all about finding your own fashion and standing out, he also helped me to boost my confidence through good clothing specially when i go out with my friends or go somewhere else
Ouch! That “middle aged man, trying to look young” comment hit me in the gut. I liked that Aaron’s leather jacket, and I’m 41. 😬
Aaron look great you can wear it too. It's just fine you shouldn't follow everything.
I'm 22 and it even hurt me.... Alpha is an amazing person
And that’s why you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what to wear as long as you like it. Especially this girl, I disagree with 99.999% of what comes out of her mouth.
My guy. My brother.
We dress for ourselves; In fashion there are NO rules.
Never mind this girl and keep dressing how you like. Also Leather Jackets have no age group which suits them; like i've seen 67 year olds rock it.
Just keep dressing like who you are as a person. Good luck.
Alpha I love his outfit man that hurt me what she said about him
I get so frustrated, when fashion people make statements like “this outfit is just way too young for him” “midlife crises” and others. A leather jacket is not too young for someone haha.
Honestly I don’t know why she’s regarded so highly, most of her criticisms in this video were too harsh making her seem like a really restrictive stylist. Not at all how people in 2022 feel about dressing. I would appreciate a lot of “misfitting” styles these days, it’s ok to have a bit of a mismatch on purpose, adds some pleasant surprise and gives people an impression that you’re either adventurous or too confident to care. Which is quite attractive.
I just discovered these men's fashion experts on UA-cam (thanks to the weird algorithm), and each one is funnier than the other.... This lady is probably around the top... Absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I just realized this is the same channel that has multiple videos about leather jackets and age. They must have some sort of obsession with this topic lol
It kinda hurts to see Tim thrown in with those guys in the thumbnail. His approach has always been much more positive, creative and fashion forward than anything on those men's fashion channels (I'd have to say this one as well, sorry).
True he looked out of place in the thumbnail
Tim is the only one of these guys I can say has any actual personal style. Chop the heads off all the other guys and you couldn't tell who was who really.
@@Ultramagnetic808 it seems like they changed the thumbnail
@@Ultramagnetic808 Exactly! Tim seems to be the only one who follows what style suits him the best and doesn't seem like he tries too hard. He just seems more genuine to me while all the other guys all dress the same and follow what's trendy. Aaron seems alright I guess but Jose and Alex are kinda waay into themselves who try too hard to look like prettyboys.
Yeppp
Sunglasses indoors are a lifesaver when you have light sensitivity and or chronic migraines. So next time you see someone wearing sunglasses indoors, don't immediately assume they're a douche.
Well she's not judgemental at all is she 🤣
Also, imagine having a wardrobe with no pastel shades and just blacks and browns. Her idea of perfection is so fricking bland!
Yet those colors you find bland make up the basic uniform of the higher educated middle classes and old money. The lesson is to wear the uniform of success, not necessarily what you think is cool.
@@giloro85"uniform of success" LOOOOOOOOOOL.
@@Feemy try it once. Wear a a Brooks Bros white dress shirt properly fitted, grey dress pants and polished black Oxfords with an actual dress watch no bigger than 38mm. See what happens...
@@giloro85 Gil, I'm a guy, I don't wear dresses LOL! Also, I don't require style tips TYVM.
@@Feemy you afraid boy?
The problem with “fashion” is that people follow trends and do things that they feel are hip, up to date and accepted by others. Wheat what you want to wear regardless. Don’t let people dress you and dictate what you need to look like. I’ve always followed my own style and it has never affected in in any way. Matter of fact I’ve gotten compliments as a result. Be original and f### every else’s opinions.
Wear
I used to do this ("wear what you want to wear"), and it didn't work out for me. I used to get compliments for doing that when I was in high school and college, but as I got older I would get less compliments, and soon people thought that I was much younger than I actually was, partly because I dressed immature for my age. A lot of people probably thought I dressed terribly but didn't have the mean spirit to tell me (so just because you get a few compliments, that doesn't mean you aren't looking silly to most other people).
I thought I was wearing what I wanted to wear, but I was never really happy with my outfits and wardrobe. I looked and felt immature. It was only after I started doing research and looking into fashion norms that I was able to chose the style that suited me best.
I find it similar to writing music (or creating any art, for that matter). My piano teacher once told me that you can throw the notes you like on a sheet of paper all you want, with no experience, but it will sound terrible and amateurish. The great composers of the past first learned basic music theory until they became experts. They understood the rules and how to abide by them, so that they could intelligently and stylishly BREAK THEM and thus create their own styles of music. Same goes for painters like Picasso. His early work was very traditional, identical to all the other painters of that era. Once he acquired all the skills and knowledge, he broke the mold in a way that was notably intentional. Same goes for most poets and writers. They learned how to write a standard poem/essay/story before they were able to break the rules intelligently. Great writers even break grammar rules for added effect, but they must learn those grammar rules first in order to achieve that effect.
Likewise, if you really want to have a style that you will truly appreciate, then I highly recommend learning the basics of style. You aren't obligated to exhibit any of the basics in your outfits, but I guarantee that once you see what is available and expected in terms of outfits, and have those pieces of knowledge at your disposal, you will be able to choose or create a style that not only you will appreciate more but that others will appreciate more as well.
This is especially important in professional settings, and in places where you need to look respectable. You won't always be able to wear what you want. In some settings, you will lose a ton of respect for dressing recklessly.
I learned the basics of fashion via this channel in particular. I don't blindly do everything that Ashley recommends, but I apply the tips that I agree with. My style has drastically improved and matured as a result, to the point that I have hooked up with and dated people in the fashion industry (girls who were definitely judging me based on my outfits), while not being a try-hard or sacrificing my own tastes. I never ever wear anything that I don't like. In fact, my style is super plain, laid back, and inexpensive, but others like it and I couldn't be happier with it myself. I'm definitely happier with my style now than I was when I aimlessly wore whatever I wanted to.
As Ashley says, you don't need to worry about the latest trend or hot items. Learn what outfits, looks, and pieces of clothing are TIMELESS and will always be respected. Learn them once, and then you can move on with your life and never have to worry much about fashion ever again. I haven't watched videos like this in ages. I just invested a few weeks/months learning as much of the basics as I could in 2016-2017, and then I applied the lessons and moved on. That knowledge has made all the difference, and continues to do so, 5-6 years later.
Sorry that was a rant, but I just wanted to put my two cents out there, in appreciation for this channel. Watching this video brought back good memories.
@@obtsfan you’re entitled to your opinion. Do I care? No!
@@jerichosavage578 hey no need to be rude, just trying to have a civil conversation. I didn’t mean to upset you, if I did. Take care.
@@obtsfan I also used to be that way. But I'm really enjoying learning about style and quality clothes now.

at the end of the day, wearing nice clothes is an art. i am an Architect and in the design world, one of the basics is "what is beautiful for you might not be beautiful for me. in design theory, it is a big no no if you use the word to explain to the client the phrase "because it looks beautiful". I appreciate how she explains how she mix and match using the basic theory of design (contrast, balance, etc)
Is this why so much modern architecture is awful to be near?
@@shraka maybe yes for some.. if people deeply believe that there is no rules in the world of beauty, people are wrong. because in Architecture, we study 10 semesters of design and 3 semester of design theory what's the purpose of studying Architecture if you only give the client an answer "because it is beautiful".
@@solo8827 I feel like architects should stop pretending to be artists - most aren't any good at it anyway - and get back to being designers for spaces people actually live in and near.
@@shrakatoo much hate dude. back off
@@shraka I'm happy of what I have and what i become. and you, your full of hate. stop being so hateful. i may not be a famous architect but i can say you need to do more research and look for famous Architects who indeed are great artists in their own greatness. ✌🏼 same in other professions, some are not successful. you can't just put your statement in a box exclusively for Architects. there are even people who are graduate in visual arts and yet they fail. and yet we still call them artist. singers who failed but still consider themselves artists. so what argument you're trying to convey?
Now, I see where you're going with the "age restriction". The points about clean jeans and stuff is understandable too, and I agree with almost all your points. Still really proud to see my guy Tim being the favorite of this video with the least critique ✨✨
Always good to have a qualified female perspective. Btw, I’m 50 and have always taken care of myself. I’ve earned the right to still sport a leather jacket!!! 😀
You do you! Confidence is the single most important thing a man can wear, regardless of age. Everything else is secondary.
@Ξεχαρβαλωμενη Μητρα Σσδδ What's so bad about Chelsea boots? They look great if worn correctly
Agree with everything apart from the ageism towards alpha men. He can dress however he wants and if he wants to dress like that at 60, he’s more than welcome to and would look just fine doing it. We need to stop these stereo types of what people should wear at what age. This would go along way in peoples mental health & also for sustainability, there’s no point telling people a jacket would last a lifetime and then criticising them if they do decide to wear it for a lifetime.
Mental health has more to do with genetics than what a stranger thinks or says about you.
@@robertelee4135 even if your extreme oversimplification is true, which I seriously doubt is the sole contributor of a multifaceted problem; living in a world full of judgements doesn’t help. So I fail to even recognise what your point is?
He is free to do whatever he likes, of course. But every person's individual attributes like: age, body type, height and skin tone should be taken into account if they want to present themselves in a particular way via their appearance. Each one of those things can be turned int some "-ism" if you want to go to the extreme ends of it. That's just not realistic or helpful, though.
@@MensFashioner I agree with your points and you are a professional that I really do value the opinion of (as I’ve been a sub for quite some time). Would you agree however that the way people should dress are social constructs of that particular region or ideology? And if those social constructs do more harm than good then shouldn’t we try and break those constructs for more healthier ones? That’s all I’m saying. You know there was a time where women wearing jeans or wearing trainers was regarded negatively, we changed that perception so why can’t we change this one?
Right she made it seems so biased style shoudnt be abiut age thats retarted
I’n dying. She kept calling him short 😭
I agree with others on the leather jacket. The style of it makes a huge difference. DIsagreed with her on Aaron's jacket. It's on the conservative side aka has a traditional collar, minimal zippers, and classic black color.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this was really good because you explain exactly what you like or not and how you would fix it - that provides insight into your styling preferences which I feel align well with mine!
Hi Ashley, I followed your advise where the other day, I ended up browsing through a clothing store and found pants that were really good priced (bargain actually) and decided to buy a few. They're pants that I don't normally wear but for the price, I told myself "Why Not?". So one of the pants were light gray patterned slim fit joggers, yes joggers. It was a little long so I've decided to take off the garter, hemmed it just enough so my ankle will show. Once ironed, I wore it and paired it with a light coloured sneakers and black fitted t-shirt. I then went to visit my teenage daughters and son. When my stylish teenage daughter saw me, she said "you look nice". I don't know about others but to be complemented by your daughter on how you look is one of the best feelings in the world. We went grocery shopping and I felt she was proud to be walking side by side with me. The cost of the pants? $5 Australian Dollars.
Next day I wore another pair I bought (Cost a little more at $10 😀), light brown patterned skinny chinos (another statement piece) and paired it with fitted navy t-shirt and black sneakers (white bottom). I also folded the pants' bottom this time to make it look more casual again showing the ankle. I met with a friend for coffee and when he saw me, he said "Hello fancy pants". He's never seen me wear pants like this. While having coffee, there were a bunch younger looking people and one girl keeps glancing our way. I noticed she was wearing something casual but stylish and most of her friends were wearing clothes you normally wear at home. Maybe she was thinking "I wish my (male) friends would dress up like that stylish dad over there". Lol.
The most important thing when a man style himself is confidence and a eye to see if u look good or not in the mirror . That’s about it
Every influencers have their own mindset on fashion.... So no comparison please
Great feedback, it's really nice to see your take on their outfits. Keep it up, Ashley.
Thanks Ashley for respectfully pointing stuff out from other men's fashion stylists perspectives. I normally experiment most of the time with Alpha M's advice, which most of the time kind of gets positive feedback from women that I interact with, but still you bring up good points. It's great to hear tips from other people like you as well. I will ensure to add your advice to my fashion ideas as well. Thanks for bringing this up.
The exemple of well dressed were hilarious 😂 the man with the dressy brown jacket and the white socks 🤣. It will be for sure a classic for the next 100 years.
Imagine rocking a YSL leather jacket and first thing people think is “mid life crisis”.. 😂
I can assure you no one thinks this. Regardless of age, seriously even bringing up age in fashion is absurd. Let people have fun 😂
No one really cares any more. Maybe back in the day they might have, but nowadays when it comes to fashion the only rule is 'if it works, it works.'.
Funny thing is in my twenties I always thought leather jackets were for guys in their thirties and forties aka the ones who could afford a quality one. It’s bizarre to hear forties is too old.
@@sharinglungs3226 it's even more bizarre to have someone describe your fashion sense as midlife crisis
Great vid. When you spotted the black strap watch with AlphaM, it hit me how good women are at spotting details in clothes like that, so you got me on alert! Please do more like this
I think a professional mens stylist is probably not the best benchmark for women in general - i think we are fine :D

Exactly.... half baked
Imagine if there was a channel telling how women should dress lol.
Good: be boring. White, brown, black, blue.
Bad: anything remotely unconventional or anything she doesn’t get.
On point...men are stereotyped to be in their neutrals as per her and just a statement piece should be the hero...mix and match and complex styling is the way to go😎
Right
Midlife crisis lmao...
Yeah...I wore black leather jackets in my 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's...and it isnt stopping until I cant climb onto a motorcycle anymore. Some guys can't wear certain things at any age, it's just part of one's personality.
I must say having you review outfits and provide insight is very helpful!
I used to be really into these channels in middle school and tbh I think it’s more important to wear what you think looks cool instead of this super heavy business casual style as a young guy.
I think older men can wear leather jackets. I’m 63 and I wear a biker jacket with a grey hoodie. I often get complimented on how stylish it looks.
I think the leather jacket is timeless.
Love this type video! Hope to see more! ❤️
With Alpha M,
I agree on the part with trying to make legs long thing but to me, personally, the dude looks badass with the first outfit. I would totally give it a good score.
And what's up with you deciding if he has a midlife crisis based on his clothes which actually look good?
If he were wearing shorts and baggy sweatshirt, i would agree that it's a little not for his age. But whatsup with that outfit?
The outfits he wears looks like for 20 -30 year olds
Agreed with everything you said except for AlphaM's fit 3. I think the grey jeans work really well here (except for that 1 spot on his right thigh although that doesn't look like part of the garment itself). It provides a bit more of a rugged look which pairs well with the camo pattern. A black pair of jeans will also blend too much into the cuff and hem of the jacket since those are a pitch black colour. The grey jeans also really highlight texture, and having a less notable texture with black jeans would probably make him look too shiny due to the texture of the jacket and boots.
You have a preference/bias for clean styles, and as a man that apeal to me occasionally, but not as much as other styles aomething more adventurous or outdoorsy. I like the style of Carl Murawski for example which I bet you won't like.
Good video. I have definitely did a overhaul in my wardrobe and got rid of some items because after watching your videos I must say some clothing pieces didn’t match my age. The pieces didn’t look bad but I can honestly say I outgrew them style and maturity wise. I can’t be walking around here looking like a mature teenager. 😂😂
That’s too bad. You should rock what speaks to you.
I still rock basically the same style but I was trying to keep up with what’s trendy(this generation style) and will admit I knew certain items of clothing didn’t really fit me but because it was trendy I jumped on the bandwagon anyway but now I’m back on my 80’s flow. Eddie Bauer parkas, puffer coats, Gerry ski jackets, brown label North Face, Benetton, Suede Pumas and Adidas, Clarks Wallys, Ben Davis shirts, and the old reliable vintage Polo bits and pieces.
My ranking:
1. Tim Dessaint (short hair)
2. Jose Zuniga
3. Alex Costa
4. Ashley Weston
5. Alpha M
Love that you weren't afraid to call out other YTers. So rare. I agreed with all her takes. Subbed.
I like Ashley's suggestions! She does a good job of explaining the why behind her suggestions. She tends to be more classic, and timeless with her suggestions, which I appreciate. Good Job!
Great video!
I had yet to find a female perspective on the same level as RMRS and Gentleman's Gazette.
I'm impressed and it's really obvious you know what you are doing. Subscribing 👍
„on the shorter side“ hahahah 😂🤣🤣
Now, I don't mean to start a whole debate about this, it's just something I casually noticed. She keeps saying "he's on the shorter side," while almost grimacing sort of. It's like she's trying to point it out while being nice about it. However, with Jose she just straight up says "he's tall."
With people trying to reassure men that no one cares about whether you're short or tall, this shows that (some) people do care and believe it is not something you should highlight with your outfits. It's probably unhealthy to tell someone it's ok to be short and then try to get them to make themselves appear taller.
I'm not saying the tips are bad! I just think it was a small detail that implicitly said a lot about how we think of short men.
his the alpha of dressing I had 0 girls before him with the style and confidence he thought me the women come to me I slay to him his a absolute legend😎
you definitely know how to dress up anybody despite their body shape, you’re real precise on the critiques and use great judgement. don’t stop the content i’ve had such a elevated wardrobe thanks to you!
There is inherent value in fashion advice coming from someone that has made a career out of assisting those in the public eye faultlessly present themselves. If you are similarly invested in these things based upon career advancement, mingling with successful people, to attract the notice of potential dates, or for your own self confidence, those are all legitimate reasons for style self improvement.
But at the end of the day, it’s still a facade and window dressing. Who is inside the clothes, is still more attractive than whether your watch strap is the correct colour. There is always room for personal style, and visually, it’s a lot more interesting than a perfect, but sterile look. Whatever you do, be yourself. The taste of the people you meet any given day for the most part aren’t going to critique your look like a professional stylist. In the modern world, if you’re putting any extra effort into presenting yourself well’ your’re leagues ahead of the fast fashion, athleisure crowd.
I didn't know someone's age dictated what we could wear. I thought how young you look and the physical shape you were in was what was important..
no, you thought wrong
i actually liked this. I hope these chosen fashion content creators actually make the outfits changes she gave advice too, to actually visualize what she meant.
Thank for your styling tips. I’ve been following all of the included UA-camrs without realizing the small mistakes they’re making. I’m a fan of Tim Desaint because I have a similar body type and build. And I’m happy that he almost went 3 for 3. You mentioned that a younger man can get away with wearing hoodies and sweatpants. Would you consider brands like Fear of God worn by guys in their 40’s to be seen as a mid life crisis? Jerry Lorenzo looks great but that’s his style, however, he’s in his 40’s. Appreciate your fashion knowledge!
I love Tim‘s Outfits. He’s one of my favorite UA-camrs
Shots fired!🤣
But no, this was really helpful. Sometimes context can be deceiving, and seeing Ash nitpick outfits that _almost_ work really helps solidify the concepts she consistently preaches. Sometimes we just really need that 'why' an outfit doesn't work.
Lol. Literally 😂
You are honest with detailed guidelines..🥰😍😍 you got a new sub
Forget everything wear what you like important thing is you should feel confident in your outfit
Finally. A video on all my favorite men style influencers 😅 would be great to hear comments of 40 Over (John) too.
I really appreciate your calling out age appropriateness in your critique. As a gentleman with 6 decades behind me, I find some of the men's style sites and their suggestions too young for me.
Hey bro! Toy should check the Chanel: 40 over fashion
I don't watch any of those four style channels, because they're too young for me. Even this site tends to be a little young for me, but there are enough timeless styles here to provide some really valuable suggestions.
@@karlr750 I seldom look at them. There are other channels I like better.
You're at an age that certain styles will look out of place, unfortunately. That being said, I think Ashley and many other fashion influencers take their opinions too far. Many of the looks that Ashley and others hate are nice and appropriate for people of many ages. I'm 37 and I still rock streetwear, preppy, and minimalist looks. I wear clothes with logos and clothes without. I get many compliments on clothes I wear by men and women of all ages. Don't take everything they say like it's gospel. Wear what you like and what you feel most comfortable with, just don't get too crazy because there are ages when you have to be more careful when choose your look.
@@renzoprs910 That's one site I have bookmarked.
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this 10:57 outfit, everything you said made sense until you got there.
He is the frikin guy who started it all .
80% of us were introduced to this community by him.
He can make an insure dude shout I'm a bad ass at the screen.( True followers will get it)
Even if the entire world turn against him I will stand by his side.
AlphaM: don't listen to what women say about mens fashion (shots fired at Ash)
MF: don't listen to middle aged guys clinging on to their youth (counter attack)
Great video. You totally put your points across through this.
I think this kinda video series will help better to know what mistakes we are making rather than a guidelines video.
Different outfits discussed, many mistakes corrected 👍
Fantastic review, guess I'm gonna keep watching this channel for some time, subscribed
For me, every single outfit looks dope no cap. Everyone's killing it
Nah
Thank you for giving your honest opinion. It's really great to hear what someone in the profession of men's styling thinks of the information being put out there on men's styling. Much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
Love this video Ashley! I agree with almost everything here (I’m a fan of distressed jeans hehe sorry) but I did notice that a lot of these pics are older photos. It’d be interesting to see you rate newer, more recent looks that these guys are wearing because some of their style has changed over time (Tim Dessaint wears more baggy, oversized fits which is a huge no no for Ashley). Just my 0.02 but otherwise keep it up and would love to see a series on this!
I've veen following Aaron for about 9 years now, I absolutely love the guy. Truly the best and besides he just wants you to feel better as a man. Very passionate honest down to earth friend we as men need!!
Hey ashley,
beside you, who would you recommend to see in youtube for men style influencer?
thx
Thank you for the honest review. I watched a video where you recommended tucking your shoelaces been doing it ever since 😀
I’ve always heard the comments on blending colors to elongate proportions and I think it’s one of the most overhyped/tried things. Sure it looks fine in pictures but there’s no time where I’m wearing all black (for example) and standing next to my friends that I don’t look like my short self lol
how tall are u
@@p10rambo 170cm
Soon as I seen dude saying Shiittedd I knew you were a trusted source and sub immediately 😂😂
imagine her reacting to hypebeast clothing 🗿
I actually agree with everything Ash said, her pointers really make the outfits better.
Yeah definitely!
Nah
Part two is a must. Try these youtuders

You really have a thing about leather jackets for men over 40
I just have a thing for making men look their best. Most men can’t or don’t know how to pull off a leather jacket, including influencers.
@@MensFashioner :)
@@MensFashioner I wear a potato sack with a rope tied around the waist as a belt.
jackets are a real big thing to hold your overall style together. I've seen enough 'these are the 7 jackets you need to own' videos to know that I personally should stay away from bomber and leather jackets - they just don't work and I've asked women in my life I trust on this and they agree.
it took an eternity but i eventually settled on a barber jacket for the autumn weather. I have winter jackets under control but the less cold weather is not appropriate for a winter coat.
I mean you are free to wear a leather jacket because it's what you are feeling but in most cases for a lot of us 9-5 office job people watching the videos, it's going to look out of place
Just found your channel. Enjoying it. Question. I'm heading to Savannah for a vacation in a few days and need a hat due to being bald and the heat will destroy my head lol. So in your opinion, if you have white shoes, simple black t-shirt, darker blue jeans, what color hat would you wear? Black or white?
You’ve been a big inspiration. I didn’t really notice over the last 3 months I’ve revamped my entire wardrobe based on your tips It’s been a game changer I can’t believe all the women I see doing more looking and smiling. I’m 62 200 I always bought huge clothes never focused on fit till you. Thanks Ashley 👌🏾
Disagreed with everything she had to say about jeans. She’s stuck in the dark wash / raw denim age from like 2005.
I appreciate Alex critique but at the same time it’s her perspective, her opinion and not facts. Nothing is wrong with a man getting a perspective from a woman who is a stylist but you as a man have to figure out what works for you as well…that’s key! Plus you can listen to all the UA-cam gurus you want but you wearing or buying something they tell you to get but your not confident or comfortable in it just defeats the purpose 🤷♂️. And if your not comfortable or confident then no woman will pay you attention anyway
I dress to feel well. As long as I feel clean and sharp, I really don't have any worries. Looking good comes secondary to me, and it usually takes care of itself anyways. I usually dress myself in a room with no mirrors. Then, I go into a room with one and simply see if there are any problem areas I need to check up on.
I had to watch this video and subscribe right away I needed this
I mean.. suede is exceptionally impractical. Leather should be perfectly acceptable for any age, maybe different style or colour, but still - leather is universal
I mean, she gives good tips, don’t get me wrong but her judging Aaron because of his leather jacket is a little fruitless just because her expertise is in styling celebrities. His leather jacket was a nice piece. The outfits/pieces celebrities wear are some most of us won’t have access to and frankly not a lot of us would wear out anyways. Those celebrity outfits, while some pieces are nice, are more out there and akin to a runway fashion show. Not for practical wear that you and I would wear. A lot of the the celebrities she styles are taking photo shoots and going to award shows, basically like I mentioned like a runway not so much for actually going out for drinks or dressing for a date. I also think Tim’s last outfit was literally dapper af and legit the jacket was what put it together. Idk what she’s talking about.
This is the Fashion UA-cam equivalent of releasing a diss track. Since the guys can't weigh in on Ashley's style I can't wait to see what they're gonna say about Ashley's husband 🍿
What do you think about hemming jeans just above the ankle joint? is it a trend or is it here to stay?
Ashley just found you and subscribed. Love your confidence, energy, humor, and of course knowledge. Thanks so much!
Great video and really helpful, Ashley, thank you. Some more content on appropriate outfits for the 40+ gentleman would be amazing 🙏 Keep up the great work!
big fan of your channel i've been watching for years and my wife really appreciates when i follow the advice you put out. with that being said have you considered making a video with more streetwear styling? I'm 32 years old and latino, darker skin tone who worksout and a lot of your outfits really do complement more the preppy thin lighter skin gentleman. Just a suggestion... still do agree with almost everything you suggest.
Ehh…I agree with only like half of this. Ultimately, my philosophy is to dress to impress MYSELF first regardless of age. I’m 40, but my twenty year-old co-workers had no idea for a long time until I revealed my age to some of them. Not because I dress like a 20yr old, but because I have a refined sense of style that I feel unspokenly impresses them. I have a streetwear background and have found a mature way to refine this style. I’m never getting rid of my Vans! lol
UPDATE: I just wanted to add…instead of “rules” the keyword here is REFINEMENT. I think following rules makes you sacrifice personality. These “rules” are good pointers, but I wouldn’t follow them to a tee. Do YOU boo-boo.
I don't mind seude jackets, I like trucker jackets as well but I'm only 31 but I prefer to rock leather, even with my boots. Just the way some of us men feel when we wear leather, we feel confident. I think it's every person's opinion, I don't think leather jackets will ever go out of style, I believe some outfits never go out of style, they're timeless. I will have a variety of jackets in my closet when I'm 40 but pretty sure I'll still have a leather jacket for Fall time, I just love jackets in general. I'm finally finding my taste in style. I have a few leather jackets in my closet but I prefer to wear my brown one over black, I just prefer brown with leather over black.
