I love how your take on casual style is much more formal and dressier than what the Average Joe (90% of population) "casually" wears every day. Happy to see that GG holds the high standards even on the casual side of things. 💥👍💪
I bet most of the people who follow this channel would show up in jeans and a tshirt to help someone move. And those of us who don't drive aren't going to change before stopping at walmart to buy trash bags.
Love to see a notification from you gents. You guys are the main inspiration as to why i created my own men’s style channel a few weeks ago. Keep it up gents 😀
I do love all your videos, but I doubt any will be as influential as this one, I'm currently in the process of transferring from super casual, jeans and hoody all day every day, do a formal style, this is like my bridge, my gateway
I'm a big fan of chinos these days as my go to "casual" look. I do wear jeans for everyday wear - they're practical and hard wearing. So if I am just out doing the weekly food shop or picking my daughter up from school, a pair of jeans and a polo are just fine, usually with a pair of boots. But if I am going out for a social occasion, I like to dress it up a little bit and for that, chinos are usually the foundation of all my outfits. I currently have 4 pairs - Desert/Khaki, Navy, Off White and Burgundy. Paired with a nice shirt (and I have a few really stylish casual shirts I picked up while I was in Venice), I think they're a much better option than jeans, especially so during the summer months. And you can go one step further and build up with a waistcoat and/or sport coat and it still looks quite smart while being comfortable and casual. I went out a few weeks ago to a friend's birthday party (my Italian tutor) and some of her other friends were there. I hadn't met them in over a year and that was the only time I had ever met them. But they remembered me, not because they remembered what I look like but because they remembered my style, which is usually built on a foundation of chinos, shirt and brogues or loafers
Yup. I’ve landed in a similar place lately, with chinos, Oxford cloth button-downs and loafers. For a super casual summer look I’ll roll up the sleeves of the OCBD and leave it untucked
As a father of young children, I find this one spot on. It's very difficult for me to dress at an high formality scale, as I need functionality to be around those little guys, yes all guys. I aspire to dress casually, but with a certain style, keeping quality garments that fit well in my wardrobe. (edit:) I usually like knitwear in the winter and good polos in the summer, both for function and comfort. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for shouting out the Guyabera. Some people sleep on Cuban style of the 40s and 50s, It’s worth looking into. Reminds me of my father, he was Cuban born but lived in Manhattan and was obsessed with classic style.
I love the Gentlemen's Gazette's classic and timeless styles featured here.Every look is great.Great video as always. I want to be well dressed for any and every occasion. Thank you!!! You guys take style to the highest level. I love it!! IThat's why I've followed you for many years. 💛
A great addition to the GG library. As a team you never fail to produce high quality, informative and easily understood and accessable videos. I love how a brief history of specific garments gives great context to their application, such as shackets and the Cuban collar shirts as two examples from this video.
Usually I quite like to wear cardigans, Arran sweaters, and wool roll necks, but also nice tweed sports jacket’s aswell, with some Barbour and trench coats aswell
Would Gentleman's Gazette be interested in making a video about "sport shirts" in the future? Referring to the loop collared, generously cut shirts, often with one or two chest pockets and worn casually with or without tailoring in the 1940s & 1950s, often in bright colours or flannel, rayon etc. Ethan Wong has written a great deal about them on his blog. You covered some of its descendents in this video; the Cuban collared shirt for one, and I know Preston calls his short sleeved patterned summer shirts "sport shirts", a kind of modern equivalent.
I strive for a casual elegant look. Black jeans, a loosely buttoned shirt and I also have a waistcoat with matching back and an almost jean-like material. On colder days I use my beloved nice and long, black trench coat.
Formal overcoats are the most versatile winter garments, they pair great with anything, specially single breasted ones with hoodies. I'm middle aged and when I wear a very long one with a hoodie (zipped works best) I get compliments. You can accessorize them with scarfs hats and BUM BAGS. Yes a loose fitting coat paired with a fanny pack acting as a belt, If you want to look stylish but not boring look how women assemble their outfits. Men tend to sameness and blandness and sometimes baldness
Apologies if I missed it somewhere but is it fine to occasionally wear Dress pants casually as well? Currently I have a couple pairs of lightweight Wool, Herringbone, and a Plaid. The Wools definitely look nice with Polos when it's warm which is often out here in AZ. Thanks for the content as always.
luke5100 UA-cam keeps deleting my comments so I'll try to keep this brief. I dress for myself and have been getting in better shape so no worries. Although I agree if too loose the fit then it will look more grandpa like as you stated but since I'm lean and toned it's not too bad. I'm in my 30's so I stopped wearing certain pieces and have upgraded since. I enjoy long sleeve linen shirts more than polos in all honesty but still own both. Thanks for the response. Classic fits most of the time look too baggy so I go for slim and it shows off my toned physique obviously.
Such a great piece! I tried both the official G9 Harrington jacket as well as the Brooks Brothers version of it, and I say go for the real one, all day. The quality is unparalleled
Sounds pretty slick, though I don’t really get the V-neck T-shirt thing. I think a crewneck is more classic. The only time I wear a V-neck is when I want to wear a sweater over a button-down. Otherwise, I feel it just kind of creates this needless gap. Then again, you might be swole lol. I’m a skinny guy with lots of chest hair, so the less people see of that, the better 😂
I was just trying to find some shorts or something to wear at the office, chinos are working now but its just getting too hot. Finding that casual/formal line and being cool enough is proving difficult.
Rafael: A little off topic, but at about 2:00 into the video, there's a shot of Rafael in white tie holding a classic walking stick/cane. Can you tell me where I might purchase a stick like that. I want a real deal quality one, and all I seem to find are cheaply made costume remakes. And definitely the type you're holding, with the round knob handle instead of the typical curve-handled cane. Thanks for the help!
This is a game-changer for my casual wardrobe. I appreciate the tips and insights on how to dress stylishly without sacrificing comfort. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Liebe deutsche Gentlemans, wo kauft ihr eure Kleidung? Ich bin grade am Anfang mir klassische Outfits zusammenzustellen und so begeistert von den Videos, kann aber schwierig diese Kleidung finden, insbesondere Hosen und Anzüge im klassischen Schnitt. Gibt es hier Erfahrung oder Empfehlungen?
Florida Man here. Do you have a style video for Florida / hot climates? Suits and ties are non-existent here for 9 months out of the year. Shorts are quite prevalent.
It’s not hard to transform that into a hip Americana look. Vintage rock ‘n’ roll T-shirt beneath an unbuttoned flannel or chambray shirt, perhaps a Harrington or moto jacket, Levi’s 501s and casual black boots or Chuck Taylors. A bit outside the bounds of this channel, but I love Americana fashion as much as I love classic menswear
What do you guys think of wearing Derbies or Chukkas for Casual Wear? Worn with Chinos and a Polo or a casual shirt, for example. For context, I use an Orthotic insole, so Loafers are almost always out of the question for me.
Hello My favorite channel! I have a question, I am getting a khaki/light tan suit tailored, could I wear the same color tie as the suit, but it is patterned? And if I have a tan tie, can a burgundy patterned pocket square or a red pocket square match with the tie?
Couldn’t have been better timing! Also! Random request: Could you ask Nathan what brand he got his Army Green Jungle Jacket from? I’d really like to know! Thank you!
Right, the kind of guy who wouldn’t be afraid to rock a leather sneaker or a more modern cut now and again. That’s kind of closer to my personal style - take inspiration from the past and tastefully blend it with the current
Being one of "those guys", I have a pair of cowboy boots (dress boots with a round toe, not square toe work boots) that I like to wear to concerts, rodeos, etc. so my question is how far up the formality scale could you wear these? Obviously, I'm not expecting to wear them to the office but could they be paired well with a more casual suit or a casual ensemble (like with a sport coat etc.) or do they not really fit in to 'classic' men's style and are best left for special events?
If we are being strictly classic, I’d reserve those for western and Americana inspired looks. Maybe get yourself a pair of chukka or desert boots for a more traditionally classic look
All that new denim is just an overhyped trend. Obviously, corduroy is out of season now, but there's little reason to wear corduroy jeans, anyway, unless there is some specific color that can't be found in a nicer pair. I really don't want to unpack this whole thing now.
Yes, I would rather wear a flannel shirt with cord jeans than denim ones some of the time, since that can be a bit more "earthy" than just typical indigo blue.

Video idea: What clothing hangers to use overall and for what type of clothing.

The guayabera is Mexican. They're still made in the Yucatan peninsula. The pockets were made to hold guayabas (guavas) hence its name Guayabera.

Great Friday video as the weather warms up for everyone. Hope y'all have a good weekend!
Could you make videos covering the style in the Knives Out films? Excellent formal and casual styles in those films!
Thank you very much do you have anything for the tropics something semi casual
Great episode ❗💯👍
Very informative and enjoyable! Thanks for providing.
Some great advice on dressing casual. Thank you Kyle
Kyle's classic casual style is so well put together 👏 great style from a great gentleman!

I love this channel ❤
I love how this guide shows us diverse body types
Safari or field jackets are an excellent choice, too.

Great video with a good variation of styles and staples. Good to see you guys back
Exquisite take.
1:50 What’s the brand of Raphael’s dinner jacket it looks awesome!
Where is Raphael?
3:03 if you send my boy to the nearest gym I'll pay for the monthly subscription.

I only wear t shirts as a base layer undergarment.😊
Some suede chukkas and a floppy brown fedora are always welcome too!
Great video love this channel
Thank U 🫵🏼

Creo que definitivamente Kyle fue el indicado para abordar el tema.
I when I dress down I wear Polo short sleeve sweater with light weight wool pants with sip on Wing tip dress shoes in wine
In addition to dark blue jeans I have grey, green, and brown jeans.
He reminds me of Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince
What is your opinion on Ashley Weston and her saying how men show dress?
What about derbies or quarter brogues as a casual dress shoe?
Both work. Light(er) to mid brown and burgundy will get you where you want to go. Suede is a great option. Although, more broguing will be more ideal.
no mention about the harrington jacket ?
You can learn more in our dedicated guide: www.gentlemansgazette.com/harrington-jacket-baracuta-g9-guide/?

Casual style recommendations for more humid climates?
This should help you out! www.gentlemansgazette.com/summer-hot-weather-outfits/?
My go to causal outfit:
Suede Chelsea boots
Dark blue jeans
A v-neck t-shirt
And My light brown leather jack
Sounds pretty slick, though I don’t really get the V-neck T-shirt thing. I think a crewneck is more classic. The only time I wear a V-neck is when I want to wear a sweater over a button-down. Otherwise, I feel it just kind of creates this needless gap. Then again, you might be swole lol. I’m a skinny guy with lots of chest hair, so the less people see of that, the better 😂

Awesome leather jacket , is it from Coach or Thursday ???

Oh for real?

Florida Man here. Do you have a style video for Florida / hot climates? Suits and ties are non-existent here for 9 months out of the year. Shorts are quite prevalent.
Try realy light weight and colour fabrics for suits
In my opinion people have became lazy apparel wise . Most think flip flops , faded jeans and a punk rock T shirt is dressing up today.
It’s not hard to transform that into a hip Americana look. Vintage rock ‘n’ roll T-shirt beneath an unbuttoned flannel or chambray shirt, perhaps a Harrington or moto jacket, Levi’s 501s and casual black boots or Chuck Taylors.

I enjoy a cashmere turtleneck for casual’ dress’
Thank you for this informative video’
Where is that striped shirt from?
What do you guys think of wearing Derbies or Chukkas for Casual Wear? Worn with Chinos and a Polo or a casual shirt, for example.
For context, I use an Orthotic insole, so Loafers are almost always out of the question for me.
Derbies are on the dressier side, but chukka boots are versatile. You might also look into desert boots
Hello My favorite channel! I have a question, I am getting a khaki/light tan suit tailored, could I wear the same color tie as the suit, but it is patterned? And if I have a tan tie, can a burgundy patterned pocket square or a red pocket square match with the tie?
Kyle, I thought you'd just taken your shirt off mate 😁
Couldn’t have been better timing! Also! Random request:
Could you ask Nathan what brand he got his Army Green Jungle Jacket from? I’d really like to know! Thank you!
Nordstrom 1901 house brand. On sale from years ago.
- Nathan
I really hate any casual shirt that has the two buttons on the neck
Kyle's style is more of my style. He appeals more of the modern Gentleman to me and not the dandy/vintage/Gatsby type.
Right, the kind of guy who wouldn’t be afraid to rock a leather sneaker or a more modern cut now and again. That’s kind of closer to my personal style - take inspiration from the past and tastefully blend it with the current
At some point you should cover history of clothing in the hot tropical country’s, former colonies. Pyth helmets, Bermuda shorts, etc.
More Kyle please
Alright guys, put the jokes away, Kyle the Style is here
Being one of "those guys", I have a pair of cowboy boots (dress boots with a round toe, not square toe work boots) that I like to wear to concerts, rodeos, etc. so my question is how far up the formality scale could you wear these? Obviously, I'm not expecting to wear them to the office but could they be paired well with a more casual suit or a casual ensemble (like with a sport coat etc.) or do they not really fit in to 'classic' men's style and are best left for special events?

Bomber Jackets...
Like these? www.gentlemansgazette.com/bomber-flight-jacket-guide/?
All that new denim is just an overhyped trend. Obviously, corduroy is out of season now, but there's little reason to wear corduroy jeans, anyway, unless there is some specific color that can't be found in a nicer pair. I really don't want to unpack this whole thing now.
Yes, I would rather wear a flannel shirt with cord jeans than denim ones some of the time, since that can be a bit more "earthy" than just typical indigo blue.
Polo shirts are basically underwear. They are sportswear and don't deserve to be treated as "dress" shirts.
Polo shirt with jacket is complete No-No. Hard stop.
If you just wear t-shirt under other shirt WHERE IT BELONGS you won't have to worry about "styling" correctly.
I found a BUNCH leather jackets that suit me.
Never feel like you need to belong in a group.
Good morning from ny..as always impressive video....more important right now...to all mothers around the world..HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY..PEACE
Casual style is just naff
That suggests that you don’t know how to pull it off. Don’t blame the style - blame the wearer
Preston looks like he needs to spend more time at McDonald’s or a Baskin Robbin’s store. He’s way too skinny. I hope he’s not sick.
chicken
A casual is other people's formal.
