This video does NOT mean you shouldn’t buy good quality items!!!!!
t shirts are one of the most important things you should spend money on. the fit, the material, they are a huge difference. on your body it doesn't make a difference, you are basically a coat hanger, but once you start getting a decent athletic body, the cut of the t shirt becomes much more important.
@@louiscyfer6944 and if you buy a dozen, each individual t shirt will last a long time
Totally agree
I agree with everything, except with the belts. Belts that cost 20-30£ will last around 3 years if you are lucky. If you get one nice leather belt from a good leathersmith, you'll get something that will last for your whole life, maybe more
I suppose it wasn’t the best example. I’ve had my belt for about 10 years and it was about £20 at the time. It was handmade from a good leather maker. I kinda just meant you don’t need to spend hundreds on a designer belt like one from LV or Versace or whatever. Thanks for watching
Fact is 20-30£ isn't that cheap for a belt you can get a handmade option for that price. I've had bad belts but they costed half that.
I have had 20 dollar belts last me almost a decade of regular use.
Bought myself a leather belt from Levi’s. Still use daily after 8 years
@@angelruiz7064 Hope mine will last as long asi that too
Diminishing returns is definitely a thing in fashion. Especially if you like wearing minimal/basic clothing with no obvious branding. Great video!
Absolutely! Thanks a lot man. Have a good rest of your Sunday 🙏
Just a couple of disagreements:
* If you want a leather belt, it's worth spending on a belt that uses actual full grain leather. I bought a brand name belt from Nordstrom's for $80 and a full grain leather belt from Allen Edmonds for only a little bit more, and the Nordstrom's belt fell apart literally within weeks, while the AE belt I've had for years and it still looks great. If you're ok with fabric or nylon belts (or no belts at all), then obviously this doesn't apply, but for leather, it absolutely does
* Socks are absolutely worth spending more on if you use them heavily. My feet feel way better after a whole day of walking in a pair of Darn Toughs than in a cheap pair of Nikes, especially after I've had them for a few months (or years)
I think the real point is that every kind of product category has a sweet spot price bracket you need to find, spend under that and you're getting bad quality that will last you less, spend over that and you're paying for hype/design/ marketing.
Well said
And potentially paying for ethics/sustainability - more important for some than others.
Agree with almost everything here with one major exception. If you want to get a leather belt, $20 is going to buy you a piece of crap. Full grain leather is 100% worth the extra money. I have several cheap belts (made from genuine leather), and a few higher quality full grain leather belts. The contrast in quality is enormous. The cheap belts look plastic, end up cracking, and will last 1/5 as long as their higher quality counterpart. Cost per use ends up higher by initially going the cheap route.
Agreed. If the belt were just an unapologetically thick piece of suede, that would be one thing, but with the embossing and laquering, it just begins to look like plastic. However, if you have a veg tanned belt, do not wear it with light colored pants. I've had the oils and tannins bleed onto my pants.
plus, you get that nice patina which adds a layer of personal touch to it!
Completely Agree.
Never had an expensive belt. Had the same cheap £20 leather belt for over 5 years and looks as good as new. Does look plasticky though.
@@varun009 With many sneakers I think that effect really fits a certain style, but these belts just look off to me.
Harry Has mentioned in a response elsewhere that he did actually get a cheap option from a good leatherworker, £20 spent there is probably very different than crappy £20 branded belts etc., unbranded the terrible ones go even cheaper anyway.
Wool socks are a game changer though. Still not super expensive but worth the price.
I used to wear them but not these days so much.
The real life hack is to buy the cheaper socks for yourself and when it comes to birthdays, anniversaries or Xmas/secret Santa, you ask for the expensive socks.
@@danieldanielson2324 ^This is the real game👌🏼👌🏼
I grew up wearing 100% merino wool socks, they’re so goddam good, they’re 40$ Australian so ~ 20 euro’s from mongrel Tasmania cannot recommend them enough, but they will wear out in about a year or so of wearing them constantly
Very practical and realistic advice. Plus you got me at UNIQLO around where I live and given my age, I go for the minimalist no fuss outfits. Thanks a lot. Live Long and Prosper!
Great video as always and agree with all your tips. What I do to save a bit of money is get all my toiletries when they're on sale, or 3 for 2 or whatever. That way you can also stock up and only have to worry about buying time a few times a year.
Thank you mate
Yeah , i agree with this, Sometimes, the price does not determine the quality! Good video, I enjoyed it, new subscriber here, bro
Thank you very much
Great list! I agree with everything you listed except shirts but I think you mean casual shirts when I have dress shirts in mind. I think you should spend a decent amount on a good dress shirt. I know you probably don't support replicas etc but for people who want those designer hats or anything its really easy to find reps of them that basically look and feel the same. Someone already commented this but I think socks that have wool in them are amazing. You kind find ones from SmartWool and Darn Tough on sale very often and if you have a Costco near you they have some wool blend socks at a great value as well.
2:37 generally agree but not for business shirts. There's a massive difference between cheap and decent white collar business shirts, quality shirts are usually MUCH better in hot weather (more forgiving/better designed fit around cuffs and collar and cooler material ie more cotton less polyester). Only place I spend real money for socks is for hiking socks (absolutely worth).
I agree with you on almost everything but socks, i was gifted a 3 pack of stance icon socks and damn! They’re so much more comfortable than any other socks i had before. I haven’t bought any other socks since.
How much do they cost? From what I’ve seen about £20 for 3. It’s more than I’d pay but not really a crazy amount. Gotta do what works for you.
@@HarryHas luckily I can claim a 20% student discount. Stance socks really do work for me, they keep their shape and last for much longer so £18 a pack of 3 suddenly doesn’t seem all that bad.
I agree with everything except the denim jacket which is quite a tricky one.
Whatever works best for you. Thanks for watching mate
I have the same feeling, but only because I'm deep into the world of raw/selvedge denim. If you research denim in general, you are often times getting what you pay for (although sometimes you're also definitely paying for the brand). If you're just going for the stonewashed / vintage washed look right out of the gate, then yeah, you can get some pretty cheap jackets that look fine in the short term. If you're really a "denim guy" (love the fade process and wearing denim a lot in your rotation), it's worth investing in some higher quality stuff (N&F, Brave Star, Momotaro, Iron Heart, PBJ, Japan Blue, Rogue Territory, etc).
I feel comfort vibes when i watch your videos dude, you're aesthetic i hope you're doing well
Thanks mate. That’s what I like to hear. All good here thank you. Hope your good yourself 👍
6:00 no cap, rhythm made my favourite cap as well! they’re perfect!
Agree about the wallet. I've had the same 20 dollar wallet from tj maxx for like 4 years and it looks brand new
Great vid! Normally you dont get this perspective from other fashion channels
Great to hear. Thank you
So glad you mentioned caps
I agree with the belt. Most of the time, pants or shorts have adjustable strings and it gives more flexibility on the fit. I just bought a $20 vans checkered belt and call it a day.
Yeah for the most part, I agree. Gonna go get some Uniqlo tshirts now ☺️
I have a video on the channel showing all the shirts and how they fit if that helps
Thanks,I will check that video as well. 🙏
You're absolutely right on most things here. When I see Mr Porter advertising £800 t-shirts, I have the urge to call the police as numerous crimes are taking place 🤣🤣🤣
Affordable doesn't necessarily mean disposable. And quality doesn't need to exceed a pre-determined price to be achieved.
😂
I agree with your list. Belts were surprising but I think you may have a point there too.
Thanks for watching mate
Excellent video I was about to buy an polo from brooks brother on my birthday thank God I watched your video.
If you like something and will wear it then it’s never a waste of money though. This is just my opinion. Some people like to spend more on other items.
Absolutely agreed. My most expensive t-shirt is a 25€ polo and i have tons of basic black or white t-shirts
👍🙏
I am an older guy from the states so I don't always agree with all of you advice but I ALWAYS get something good out of your videos. Great work. BTW buy the socks just to rate them for all of your fans. lol
Glad to hear. Thank you
I agree with most of these. I disagree on (1) shirts - I have mine custom made because I can’t find ones with good fit, and (2) socks - I only buy wool blends, as they do help with odours and they’re warmer
Belts are very important, it's use as a tool and also part of your wardrobe. Having it many different sizes and color only add to your styles. Belts are very underrated statement piece. Trust me. I have one very nice wallet and couldn't be happier, and it set the tone of being serious about getting down to business. Last a good quality hair product is better than a cheap one.
I mostly just get the more special stuff at higher prices, but even cheap brands are putting out great style here and there.
I am lucky to like a lot of things that come in cheap, just gotta get a size up most the time to suit my style. Shorts are a great example, I get so many in various colors that my outfit options grow multiplicatively, and they last longer cause my rotation is so long. I also love modular styling with layering and accessories, a great way to spice up the more basic things and get some color/shape accents. (Ohh! Many accessories also come very cheap, and if you've got a crafty friend you can customize with cheap mats)
Great 💡ideas , great content
Thank you very much
Agree with everything apart from shirts and belts. I understand the idea that shirts don't tend to look that much better the more you spend, but the feeling and durability certainly does increase when you spend at the right places.
Also cheap belts break and crack. You're better off copping one full grain and leaving it there.
A man of the people 🙌🏼
🙏
Thanks Harry!
Agreed with everything except the shirts. Good video
Thanks a lot mate
Excellent idea ❤️
Thank you
Great video mate, i agree...... kind of 80% lol,
Here is why. When it comes to leather products, you get what you pay. For decent leather wallet and belt, it start around $30-50, and you could spent until $100-250 for better leather, for ex: italian calf , shell cordovan, kangoroo, ostrich, phyton etc. basically, they last lifetime, you won't regret it.
My belt in this video is hand made and beautifully made. Had it for about 10 years. It was about £25 back in the day. Inflation happened and the same belt probably costs more but I don’t wear it, so either way, it’s not worth it as it sits in my wardrobe not being worn. The wallet, nah! I’m afraid I can’t agree there unless wallets are your thing. They aren’t mine. Thanks for watching and sorry if I seem dismissive. Just the way I feel.
Very good topic Harry.👍
Thanks a lot
In the US we have TJ max, and I had no idea there was a TK max lmao
Very good video and nice reality check
Thank you very much
damn man, thanks a lot. your video this one open my eyes a lot.
🙏🙏🙏
Welp, I just spent a fortune on a Tom Ford black denim jacket...but i love it! I live in it most days :D
If you love it then it’s money well spent 👍
I can’t argue with you on this lol
i have an expensive wallet and dont regret it for a minute. its something i use every single day, no matter what im doing or where im going, and its aged great and still holds up. if i use something daily, i typically buy nicer.
Also maybe you should mention the second hand items. EBay is a great place to find some classic denim jackets for good price 👍🏻😁😁😁
Second hand is always a good idea and you can save a lot of money and get something very good quality.
great video, thanks!
🙏
the new hair cut looks great on you bro!
Thank you mate
I would say with denim jackets go to like a middle place as Levi's maybe, I have a cheap one from Pull and Bear and while I loved it and used it a lot, it started to suddenly break in the arms and I don't understand how. My gf has a Levi's jacket that is older than mine and it doesn't look distressed so I guess they are a nice option
I agree with this. For me, there is no need to spend hundreds as I hardly wear them
I have a Levi's denim jacket that I thrifted a few years ago and it looks the same as it did when I first laid eyes on it. And my sister has a pair of jeans (Levi's) from high school that she's still using until now so they're a great option if you want high quality denim.
Have to disagree with shirts. I have some, I got on sale for 50$ to 70$ that have last me over 8 years and still look as good as new. One should be able identify good materials and fabric though , some that go for $500 odd are so vile , companies should be ashamed trying to sell them. Good video all in all.
You are so handsome!
Love the cap!
Love your style
Love your steaze!
Keep pushin'!
FACTS, tell em Harry!
🙏🙌
Thanks for video Harry, what grey essential hoodies do you recommend ?
I think you can get a lot of items in second hand shops. Old school wool coats or denim jackets, leather belts or even shoes that people give away because they don´t fit them well. I buy my basic T-Shirts for wearing at home there too. Doesn't´t matter if they are a little oversized when their gonna be stolen/shared by your partner anyway.
The only problem I´ve encountered is that the majority of second hand stores are directed mostly towards women.
Second hand is great for so many reasons. Haha I know the feeling with clothes being stolen/shared. A lot of charity shops definitely have a lot more women’s clothing. Luckily there are a lot more vintage shops opening here in the UK with focus on both men and women’s clothing. You can always use things like eBay and depop for second hand too
Great subject to discuss
🙏
Love your vides < 3 ✨
Thank you mate
The shorts depends on your location i guess. If you live on a hot humid temperature country like Philippines, Shorts is a daily fashion. Of course if you were on a cold, winter country, you might not use it all the time.
Exactly that. I still think I’d be in sports shorts the majority of the time though
I would add trousers to the list because at the end of the day it's just a black trousers no need to get expensive one.... Although that issey miyake is always on my mind 😆
Hahaha. My other video Styles otherwise. I think they are the most important part of my wardrobe
Your hair looks great like that.
All spot on. But then what’s the stuff it’s okay to spend a little bit more on?
👏 great massage, style it's not about money
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Check out Darn Tough socks! Worth every penny.
I like the feel of wearing a good t-shirt tho, the ones i like the most are about 75-90$ which is steep but It makes me feel better on the daily
Gotta do what works for you 👍
With shirts and pants. Yes you can get the same look at cheaper places, but I’m usually paying the extra for comfort in material used
i got all my socks from decathlon, KIPRUN series pretty durable.
Agreed!
Good man! But consider sustainability: Buy one or two good quality leather belts (brown and black), which are tanned without chrome or other harmful chemicals. They will last you decades. And for socks or t-shirts, buy natural fibers if possible.
I tend to splash out on socks because its the one thing you can add a design touch to your outfit without breaking the bank.
Great video!
Thanks a lot mate.
@@HarryHas 🧡 from Nyc
I feel like every guy in the UK wears and has a couple pairs of white socks with black ankle stripes lol!
Mine are navy stripes 😉
@@HarryHas Oh, to me they look black lol.
Harry never misses!!
🙏🙏🙏
please make a video on the shades you use .
I don’t wear them much. I have a couple of pairs from Cutler and Gross
Cool socks Harry😁
🙏
agree!
I thrift most of my clothes. If I want to get new clothes then I will just wait for it to be on sale.
I would add underwear like Versace , D&G, etc for $40-$70 for one pair lol
Couple of things in my opinion, i got a comme des garçons wallet 4 years ago and it’s been by far the best wallet I’ve ever owned. In terms of shirts, the quality and fit definitely improves as the price goes up. A flannel from Portuguese flannel is miles away from a h&m or uniqlo flannel
I do like Portuguese Flannel shirts a lot. For me, I don’t get excited or wear shirts enough to justify spending a lot on them. I’d definitely like a better wallet but I’m not paying for one. Thanks for watching mate
The basic plain t shirt , I don’t know how many I have ruin from plain to a pieces of art these past year. I can’t just keep them plain all year round.
i think that being generous for hair products is totally reasonable and also for leather product, paying for the quality of the leather is better than for the branding
My wallet is just some pocket from an old bag I ripped out off. It's been 5 years and still awesome.
Great video! Love your work ❤
Thanks so much mate
Can you do another good pants trousers? I really like the Simplí easy black trouser but it sold out. I can’t find a similar ones.
I did a trouser video a few weeks ago
George by asda tshirts. 2 for £5. Fresh white tee all the time. Sharp.
In my opinion, it is worth it too spend extra on jackets, footwear, and sweaters!
I have a video about that from last week 👍
Nice video mate...however the only item I don't agree with u is the Wallet.. A nice leather wallets last a lifetime.other than that spot on.
Need a video talking about tartan pants :)
Everyone should have one pair! :)
A nice denim jacket is 400 American and is selvedge denim. And heavy weight.
If you love denim jackets and will get a lot of wear out of it then go for it. I don’t wear denim jackets much at all
Harry I wanted to ask if what do you think about the Adidas Originals Forum …especially the low🙏I’d appreciate your response
I like them but I won’t buy a pair myself just yet. I’ll wait for the hype to die down a bit then see if I still like them enough to buy them
Harry can u make a video about bags and backpacks?
I don’t have the most exciting bag collection. I have a few but I’ll see what I can do 👍
@@HarryHas great thanks
The addition I'd make to your video is to look at the slow fashion aspect of your purchases- how environmentally sustainable are the items? How long will they last? And how are the workers treated and paid throughout the supply chain? If these are good, then buy them. Companies like ASKET are doing a good job at making wardrobe staples like t-shirts that cost more than a lot of places for a basic, but I think are absolutely worth it because of the environmental and social benefits of them compared to most high street brands.
I always try and do that with my clothing. I know there is a lot of talk about Uniqlo but I haven’t bought from them in a long while myself
@@HarryHas Great to hear that you do it! Would love to hear you mention it more often in your videos- we need to break the habits of fast fashion and get people thinking about the footprint of their purchases :). And thanks for putting out the content that you do- it is always interesting to see what your style is from week to week :)
@@SimonChambers I feel like I talk about it a lot in videos and comments on my videos. I might make some videos all about it though.
@@HarryHas You do talk about it for sure. I just think that we all need to talk about it more. But a big part of my professional life is climate justice and work at COP each year, so this is an issue I'm very passionate about :)
this is a great video
Thank you very much
My man literally lists my whole wardrobe 😛
COS makes great basic tees
Facts ✅
So I shouldn't buy the Prada plain white shirt 3 pack for 800 dollars? 😂😂😂😂 Great video and I agree with pretty much everything!
Hahaha I think that’s a bargain!
Could someone offer another store other than unuqlo, they don't ship to my country :(
I like a good leather wallet and a better denim jacket. I've spent money on socks, but not anymore. I agree with you about the T's and shorts. Oh, you cut yr hair! When did this happen? Take care.
I was too busy to go to the hairdresser so I shaved it off a few weeks back
11. Hype sneaker. Solution : Buy timeless sneaker.
Actually good content
Thank you. 🙏
I spent a little more on good black socks. Most likely i will buy them from Falke if they are on sale
your hair looks nice today
My biggest t shirt secret is finding and buying Son of a Tailor custom t shirts secondhand.
The brand make expensive, exceptionally high quality custom tailor fit t-shirts, but aren't well known. So secondhand ones go for practically nothing
Myself I've been on a kick of only buying clothing i can figure out was made ethically. I'm ok spending $50 on a t-shirt as long as it's made and sourced in the US.
