    I think we’re living in a constantly changing time in regard to ‘fashion and trends’. The whole big expensive brand was definitely a trend here in England last year. All the kids wore stone island, moncler, Canada goose etc etc.. but now I do agree Alex, its more of a unbranded look that’s aimed more to show off your muscular and fitness physique as opposed to your ‘worth’. Which I totally support and stand by because not only does this save money but also influences people to go to the gym and stay healthy 👍 😎

His advice in the video is for guys who are willing to shop around to save $$.

    Year: 2019. And I can't believe people are wearing pajamas at the store. For me, this video is not about teaching people how to look expensive. It's about teaching people how to look decent, clean and presentable. I grew up in Costa Rica, I am from a humble home, we didn't have a lot of money but my mother always told us to look our best before we leave the house. I work as an Artisan for LV here in TX and I dress up every day. I don't care if I am gonna be in the line just sewing. I am going to look my best. It makes me feel better about myself. I thanked the Lord that even in the midst of poverty I had a mom that taught us that being clean and presentable was loving yourself. Thank you, Alex, for sharing. Hugs from Texas.

    My method:
    Step 1: posture and confidence
    Step 2: grooming and manners
    Step 3: find a car that looks premium but isn’t a brand new Ferrari within your budget and keep it clean.
    Step 4: same again but this time with watches, you can get some real stunners for under $300.
    Step 5: branded expensive clothes aren’t cool, so don’t imitate supreme. A nice polo, jeans and loafers work just fine.
    Step 6: don’t waste your time watching videos like this or reading my comment. Do what you want and get some self esteem god damn it.

    Just as an example and this won’t mean much to those outside the U.K....
    Plain black polo shirt.
    One by Y-3 £115
    One by M&S £16
    Same fabric composition, same fit, same feel and outwardly, same everything except the small embroidered logo. I’ve got them both and to be honest they are interchangeable.
    The only thing that I’ll really pay top wack for is shoes and jackets/coats. Shoes because comfort is worth every penny and jackets because they’re just my thing. 👍🏼
    Tip, buy clothing bargains, smell expensive. The perceived look/cost of a garment is subjective, but a smell is sensory and will override everything.
