Real Men Real Style those belts are sweet I have not made that leap but love those ratchet systems they use cognac with rose gold is a sweet combination
Hi Antonio, I got 8/10 which I consider to be great since I am only a 17 year old. Missed out on the first two points but I am gonna work on it. My favourite points out of these one are buy classics over trends and I follow it whenever i go out shopping for myself. If I am fortunate enough to be selected for the gifts you are giving out,I would like to receive a gift box with black,light brown and grey leather straps with classic in black and classic in silver buckles with 1.25 inches in width. It would be wonderful to win since these belts would bring a lot of versatility and interchangeability into my still growing wardrobe. But as always KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,ANTONIO. KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING.
Real Men Real Style hi Antonio I am 16 years old I got 9/10 I liked the black and cognac leather. For the buckles I liked the traditional in silver, traditional in gold and classic in formal gunmetal.
8/10...I'm working on getting a 10/10, though. The classic Black Leather and the Cordovan Leather belts would look rather sharp with the Classic Silver, Classic Matte Gold, and Classic Gunmetal, I think. (Thanks for introducing me to that company; they have an intriguing product!)
Great vid Antonio & offer ✌😎🤘 The 11 style rules: 1. Know your measurements. 2. Control your message. 3. Buy items that you absolutely love. 4. Develop an eye for quality. 5. Spend more on what you wear more. 6. Buy classics over trends. 7. Buy clothing strategically. 8. Buy needs not unnecessary deals. 9. Develop your uniform. 10. Invest in your education. 11. Know the tools of your trade. My Anson belts are: 1.25 Black leather strap, 1.25 Dark Brown leather strap. 1.25 Classic Buckle Black, 1.25 Classic Buckle Antique Gold.
I'm happy about the community we built in RMRS. It's great to see when people are helping each other out in the comment section or in Facebook discussions. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.
Yes, Antonio, I got these. I've been following you for a good while, at least over a year. My wife and I always watch for your new videos each morning. We watch them together. My style has certainly improved.
I don’t know how express my self on how much you have done an impact in my life! My boss compliments me,my gm compliments me,my ceo compliments me,people at the club compliment me specially señoritas,other business people compliment now I have other people asking me for help thanks to you and of course I share your videos with me!! Thank you so much 🙏
This video perfectly captures why you are my go-to men's style guy on UA-cam. You encourage us to think of style as a Tool for Living. Miles ahead of the average men's style channel that only talks about what this season's fashion picks are. You offer us the foundation, the 'why' to do this or that fashion move, not just the 'what.' So grateful for your efforts!
10 out of 10. Being sixty I've long learned these are the basics for style rules. Of all these rules I've learned how much more important style is over fashion. When a younger man I was more fashionably dressed. Today I'd say I'm more stylish. I found it too expensive to keep up with fast changing fashion trends. A simple rule of thumb to learn to tell the difference between fashion and style is look online at a 40 year old Sears catalogue. You will readily see some items you could more or less wear today and many, many that are nightmares! Learn to apply the same eye to today and one can quickly and almost perfectly see the difference. Style is classic and within reason nearly timeless. Fashion often tends to look very silly in a few years or even a few months. White knee socks anybody? How about a powder blue leisure suit? Surely you'd wear the platform shoes?
Antonio, Ever since I have watched Real Men Real style. It has taught me a lot. It also has showed me how I can be a better man and what it is like to have respect for others and myself. Every morning I wake up just about every suit I put on or casual clothes I wear I look great and I always feel confident. I don't know if you'll read this but either way. Thank You for what you do! And thank you for the things you've taught me
You got me at the belts!! I bought the belt box... I took me 1h to choose the 2 buckles..finally I m happy because I replay need it!.. I wanted the old style gold golf buckle that I could't afford..:) SCORE is 9/10..great video!
I like you more than Alpha M or Jose. You dont joke around and do spin jumps or full of yourself. You get straight to business and you are definitely more mature! Love your stuff!
Considering how long I have been following you, neither of us should be surprised that I got most of the items right. But I always learn things from you which is why I keep following. I just wish I had known all this about 55 years ago!
Yes a perfect score on every item, however this did not happen overnight it’s taken years of trial and error to get to the point you feel, look and project the image you want. As for Anson belts, they are the only belts I wear and have been give them away as gift for years, the adjustability is what I enjoy as well as the awesome selection of colour options available. Thanks for reaffirming my own style rules are spot on.
Thanks again Antonio for another great video. I'v learned, being a bigger guy, 6'1" and 260# fit is critical. It can be disheartening when shopping. I learned a long time ago, that I can't buy a suit, or jacket off the rack. If it fits my chest and shoulders, it doesnt fit any other part of me. If i get good sleeve length and fit thru my mid section, the shoulders are too narrow. I know they're gentle men that watch your channel and feel like I felt for years. Fit, fit, fit, get a good fit, and the rest will come easily. The easiest path for me, is #1 fit, #2 function, #3 form (style). I've found that by following those steps in that order, spending money on my wardrobe staples less gut wrenching when I see the price.
You are so on point with Anson belts. Just got my second 3 straps 2 buckles and I have to say that you have guided me on a path that I didnt know that I needed to walk but am enjoying the journey as I go!!
In the last year since I started to watch your channel and the others mentioned I have started to take those lessons and invest more in myself and not just style but controlling the message I put out there. This helped me to get the courage to go out and ask for that pay increase and ultimately a new better job. Anson belts look great hopefully they have them in a size that fits I'm a 42 waist. I like the 1.25 cordovan, cognac and black belts. I really like the traditional buckles, both the formal and regular gunmetal. Keep up the good work Antonio.
Damn, I love your videos and your work Antonio. I can pass many months without caring much about style but I always come back at some point to your channel and it's every time a delight listening to you. Please, continue. You make a difference in our lives, I assure you.
7/10 Let's go!!! One day I'll get to 10/10. Greta video as always. If I do get selected, here's what I'd pick: Buckles: 1.25" traditional silver buckle, 1.25" classic formal gunmetal buckle Strap: 1.25" black leather, 1.25" dark brown, 1.25" chocolate vegetable tanned leather.
Shoppinh with a list is the best advice there. Good for life too: Make a plan, stick to it. That and NEVER STOP LEARNING. Anson belts look great. For me it would be classic and onyx in silver. All my watches/jewelry is silver. Black, cognac and grey canvas would get everything covered in my opinion.
As someone who has always worn T-shirts and jeans because he was never taught how to dress properly, thank you. Thank you so much. I wish that I had learned this years ago.
I've been following this channel for so long that I already knew all the rules. Still, it's great to be reminded of them, and have them all organized together in a single video. Thank you Antonio, for helping me change my style, and thus my life, by being someone I can look up to and use as a role model. Edit: Oh yeah, for the belt I'd go for a traditional silver buckle and a strap in cognac leather. All 1.5", since I usually go for business casual.
up until a few years ago I couldn't care less about my clothing. Lately I am more and more interested in being well dressed. I think I am still discovering my own style. Video's like this definetely helps. So thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
Awesome video Antonio! Thanks for all the lessons and i hope one day to attend to Menfluential! If i would choose some of those awesome belts, my choices are: 1.5" Traditional Buckle in Gunmetal or 1.5" Traditional Buckle in Antiqued Gold 1.5 black microstrap or 1.5" Cognac Leather Strap Have a nice day!
Got 6 out of the eleven. Got to work on not falling for the sale and working on my list of things I know I would buy use regularly. Great tips I must say.
7 out of 10 , I have learnt to be strategic with my purchases of items that can be interchangeable as well as buying things that makes me extremely confident and raise my status.Spending on items that have value as well as using it as most often as possible has brought in high returns in terms of my quality of life. I love the Classic Silver 1.25 Buckles as for the straps i love the Formal Black Leather Strap and the ReD WHITE Blue CLoth Strap :)
Hi Antonio, I got 8/10 which I consider to be great since I am only a 17 year old. Missed out on the first two points but I am gonna work on it. My favourite points out of these one are buy classics over trends and I follow it whenever i go out shopping for myself. If I am fortunate enough to be selected for the gifts you are giving out,I would like to receive a gift box with black,light brown and grey leather straps with classic in black and classic in silver buckles with 1.25 inches in width. It would be wonderful to win since these belts would bring a lot of versatility and interchangeability into my still growing wardrobe. But as always KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,ANTONIO. KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING.
I got 8 out of 10. And as a former mechanic I had the same philosophy with tools. Any tool that was in my hand every day/often I bought quality or updgraded quickly. Paid off and it fit me well. I do that with clothes to.
At 22 I have not finish developing my taste yet. I was very much into just throwing on a band T-shirt and jeans and benign on my way. But I as grew into build myself confidence and self esteem up more and more I realize that old school gentleman fashion is what I like. I like to to keep things simple as well with blues, blacks, browns, grays and whites. Occasionally throwing in some pink and purple. I would like to continue to expand my wardrobe but I do only like get great quality think and at this time I am not financially secure to finish, but ever now and then I add one or 2 items. I enjoy watch videos to learn about new items that I could keep and eye for and add on to my list. I’ll have save up and invest in these belts I do like the chocolate vegetable strap with onyx smoke buckle.
Eye for quality Buy strategically Control my message Buy items I love Spend more on what I wear more Definitely buy classics not trends Buy needs Develop my uniform I definitely love the green red stripe strap and the cognac leather strap. As far as buckles go I like the silver. I lived this video by the way, it was really good to hear ways to really make sure that I’m doing all of the thing I need to to present myself, thanks Antonio!
I love your videos, and your emails as well, as they often have profound quotations and thoughts. I pretty much failed this quiz, but what a great list to write down! Also, Antonio, I've turned on a close personal friend in the business world to your channel, and he's thrilled with the amount of information you offer. I'm retired from radio broadcasting at 56, but you've got me working on a NEW ME! THANKS!! PS: Heavy Metal music served me well!
Loved the video! If I were to get an Anson belt I'd probably pick up a more casual one and grab the 1.25 navy - white cloth strap and the traditional 1.25 buckle in silver!
I got 7 of the 10 but 8 of 11 if you count the last one no.11. I was surprised that no 11 wasn't further up the list. I take exceptional care of my clothing and my shoes. My youngest mimics my mannerisms almost to a tee with her clothing and shoes also. I liked the 1.25 gunmetal. Silver, and onyx gold buckles with the black, lt brown faux croc, and chocolate micro straps. Keep making these videos Antonio
I got an 8/10... Two years ago before I started watching you I think I would've gotten a 1/10 haha. My favorite buckle is the 1.25" onyx buckle-matte gunmetal and my favorite strap is actually a tie between the 1.25" black vegetable tanned leather strap and the navy canvas strap. Thanks for teaching me so much about style over the years!
I got a 10/10! And I have to say, these were rules to which I started paying attention not so long ago. I'm now in the second half of my 20's and I'm really taking the time to study and improve my personal style and way of life. Thanks to channels like this, it's been a very gratifying task!
If I get selected for the belt giveaway, please send the 1.25" cordovan leather strap with the 1.25" classic buckle-gunmetal. Thanks, as always, for the awesome tips, Antonio!
I have learned most of these rules the hard way, by making my own mistakes, but I will give you credit for a couple of them, Antonio. I will add a personal one: ALWAYS be on TIME! It shows you respect other people's time. I'd love to try an Anson belt, if I would pick one, I'd go for Traditional Gunmetal buckle and black belt.
A sewing kit was always on our gear list for any kind of operation in the marine corps. I remember having to go to the px all the time just to buy one.
Hi Antonio, I have learnt so much from your content and I am confident with my style. I have started my financial education channel and thanks for inspiring me because I spent time in front of clients so your guidelines are always on point so as my closet.
Just made it! 7/10 (or 8/10 with the bonus tip). My big pitfalls are that I haven't decided on my message, that I'm not experienced with spotting quality (your videos have helped), and I haven't spent much on education... Granted in my situation, of course I'm up to speed on all the thriftiest style rules. Super interested in Anson Belt and Buckle! I'm eyeing the Saddle tan casual leather strap, and the beige microsuede strap (these aren't met by my current belts), and my favorite buckle has gotta be the nickel free traditional buckle-- all in 1.25" widths.
I love your value equation. I used a similar one not only for style but for everything. IMy equation was value = time of usage / price. I absolutelly need to add the feeling factor, but i'll stick with time of usage instead of number wear.
Thanks a lot Antonio for this great video, I really loved the first 6 rules, and got benefit of them. My belt is black leather strap with silver colored buckle
Indeed an excellent video certainly full of a plethora of use knowledge I personally appreciate the great effort you put in this video to help your subscribers educate themselves on 10 style rules every man should know!
Another excellent video Antonio. I like the idea of a belt system. I will work towards incorporating that into my wardrobe for sure. It'd be nice to get the gift set with two belts three buckles to start off though.
Knowing your measurements before going into the store is brilliant! 8/10!! For a while now I have owned a rose gold with a white face watch from the fifth watches. I love it! Super sleek and classy. It’s my most complimented watch. However, I don’t have a rose gold belt buckle. So I haven’t been able to wear my watch with my suit. It would be great to get 1.25” dark leather, chocolate, and cognac leather straps with rose gold and formal gun metal buckles so I can finally complete my look with my favorite watch! Thanks Antonio! You’re the best!
1.25" Black leather strap 1.25" Dark brown leather Strap 1.25" Classic buckle-black 1.25" Onyx buckle-matte gunmetal Thanks for the rules. Grate video.
9/10 because of watching your videos. After leaving my last job I was told the style bar would now be lower. That is thanks to you. Gun metal grey and saddle tan. I would also say a video from Anson on how to match colors with popular shoe brands (Allen Edmonds) would be awesome.
I’ve been watching for about a month now, and I’m genuinely surprised to say I got 9/10, soon to be 10 once I get a tape measure. I have to say, guys like you and Alex Costa have helped me transition my life from the bland position of not knowing how to present myself at all into the ambitious man I am today. If you decide to choose me for the belt giveaway I’d prefer the saddle tan leather strap with a traditional silver buckle, to go with a certain pair of Florsheims that’ve been particularly hard to find a matching belt for
I love the Anson belt concept. I'm saving up to get the brown and black leather straps with the brushed steel buckle, polished steel buckle and matte black buckle.....every outfit covered for me ;)
Thank you Antonio, this video was such a great recap of so many things you’ve taught in other videos. I shouted out loud when I scored my 10/10...!! I’ve taken the time over the last few years to craft a wardrobe that has both current style and classic designs so that I can mix & match s well as sticking with my signature look. I’ve invested in bespoke as well as off the rack, so I wear Hawks & Curtis for my everyday wear, along with TM Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt, and then I have Brioni, Pal Zilleri and Gieves & Hawkes in my bespoke items. I’ve even applied similar principles to my shoe purchases so that I always have the right shoes to wear. The Anson belt and buckle collection looks awesome. I really like their black & dark brown formal belts with the silver and gold basic buckles. I think a belt should be elegant and understated, after all it’s thereto enhance and create a break in the outfit, rather than make a statement on its own...!! Thanks for all the advice...!!
As an educator, I really find your videos very informative. I have just started updating my wardrobe after watching several videos from your channel and it has helped me a lot when it comes to presenting myself in public. I speak in front of my students, colleagues and parents. I was not very confident before but by applying your tips and advices, I slowly become more confident in presenting myself now. Thank you so much Antonio for this channel. You have done a lot of men great service! I love the classic look when it comes to belts, the silver buckle with black and brown leather always works with my uniforms.
Tfw you got didn't get any pointers right. This was posted on my birthday and it was the perfect wake up call. Thanks for this video. Any combination is fine if i get lucky, gotta ditch my wardrobe anyways
I have to admit that I got all of them except the measures, because most of my suits are custom made and my classic and casual styles are almost from the same range of brands, after that, I actually have a “uniform” for 3 different occasions like elegant, casual and sport. By the way thank you for the knowledge and keep going, because every time that someone ask me about how I learn to dress, I take them to your channel.
I agree. it is easy to fall into the sales trap--thinking you are getting a deal, but when you go to your closet and look at the purchase and find that you veer away from it- then it was only spontaneous buying and I agree you waste money even if it is a sale. BTW ANSON is the best . Besides the fact that I own many and it has multiplied by their combinations, they are the go-to company if I need to send a gift and introduce people to the best belt system
Hi thanks for the inspiration in the video. Although I didn’t have a very good score I’m determined to use your tips to improve my style. These belts also look very nice and if it is possible I would love to get: COMPLETE BELTS Width: 1-25 Strap 1: Navy Leather Strap Buckle 1: Traditional Buckle in Gunmetal or a similar one.
Thanks Antonio for the knowledge that you shared with me.Your a bog part on the success on my life and career. Hope to hear more from you. More power and keep it up 💪👍🔥
Amazing video! I got 7/10 correct. I know my measurements, shop strategically, shops needs not wants, know what I stand for, invest in my education, buy what I really love, and spend more on what I wear more. 👍☺
If I'm able to get one then I'd like the 1.5" black leather or graphite canvas belt with the onyx buckle or the traditional buckle in silver. Thank you Antonio
Thanks, Antonio for the info on Anson belts which will be my next investment, I've learned tremendously from the blake stitch, Goodyear welt, and belts to using collar plackets which I just purchased and I feel like a million bucks. I went to your website to register for the Anson belts and couldn't find the link.
This is more than likely a no-brainer. But since my mother and I were very poor when I was young, I had to make do with very limited clothing and grew to appreciate what I had. I also learned at a young age to take care of my clothing myself since my mother was always working. Therefore I had to do my own laundry and... here it comes... ironing! Even when I joined the military, I was surprised to find young men who had never done their own laundry and had no clue how to properly use an iron. Just a thought. Oh BTW: Love these videos! Please keep up the excellent work. Take care.
Probably 8/10 for me; I need to learn how to sew! I would love to have the 1.5” Cordovan Leather with a Rose Gold or Gold (Preferably Traditional) Buckle, or a 1.5” Black Leather belt with a Black Classic buckle! I love watching your channel and I appreciate the quality information you offer!
Amazing video as always Antonio sir. Love you always. Yup got many of them right☺. Simply love Anson belts . I have been following you for a long time and have been with you on your journey to 2M and will always support you . I don't get time to open you tube but i make sure the first thing i do when i open is watch your latest video. If you choose me ,I would prefer the following configuration: 1.5 inch width Cordovan or/ Navy leather strap Traditional buckle in Rose Gold or/Formal Gunmetal . ☺😊
Been a follower for a long time, I really enjoy how you talk about finding your message and displaying it; I never thought about that before. I would love a 1.25'' ESPRESSO VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER belt with a traditional belt buckle in gun metal. Thanks Antonio! Got 8/10 right.
I wish I knew more about fashion and what to purchase so I really felt this video hit home and will give me the confidence to know what i want and not fall into a trap
I would say I knew 8 of those 11. I need to get a button sew kit. I notice that my vests and jackets tend to have loose buttons. My style I've been getting the most compliments on is with browns and golds. It works well with my skin tone and facial hair color. I would go with the gold buckle and the light brown 1.25" or the faux croc strap.
Thanks good points when I was going into the ministry I had suits & sport coats I was younger and thinner , now I am in Barbering, I like the vintage look it is basic and foundational I am a short man measurements count, Your info is helpful to my profession.. I wear mostly brown shoes I do have one pair of black oxfords.
9/10! Not too bad. I'm young so I'll still hop onto trends every now and then BUT only if it will strategically works with my wardrobe. Thanks Antonio!
I got a 8/10, not too bad! I really like the light brown and saddle tan leather 1.25" belts with classic matte gold and traditional rose gold buckles, if you got them. Thanks Antonio and keep up the amazing work! From your biggest fan in the Philippines.
8 of 10. I will definitely implement the other 2 rules. The 1.25" chocolate leather strap with a 1.25" classic silver buckle would be perfect for my wardrobe. especially in combination with my new brown double monks!
I just love the classic belt combination: Brown leather with a silver buckle. It works great with my boots too, and actually that's the only item I am sure I will use forever. Right now I own two belts, both Brown/silver, but both of them are getting those cracks at the holes as you mentioned. So I really would love a new belt (system).
Thank you for this information. I watch you regularly to learn more about modern men’s fashion to fit with my business and this was perfectly timed for me. Oh and I scored 8/10. My favorite Anson is the formal black leather btw. Keep up the amazing work!
Love your work! Got 9 out of 10. Working towards that 10. For the Anson Belts I love: 1) 1.25" Dark Brown Leather 2) 1.25" Cognac Leather 3) 1.25" Picante Vegetable Tanned Leather 4) 1.25" Cognac Micro-Suede If you had any of these to give I would be extremely grateful.
I got an 8/10 and two things to work on. One of the most important things I need to start doing is knowing my measurements. As a result of not knowing them, I have a lot of pants that are too large in the waste (plus, losing weight makes them even looser). What's the solution? Obviously I need to get my hands on an Ansen Belt! I'm a simple man with simple needs- a black leather belt (1.5" preferably) and a silver buckle. I wear my current basic holed belt constantly and I need to upgrade to something that'll withstand the wear and love. That versatile belt will work like a charm! Thanks Antonio!
8/10! Hey Antonio, I’d love to check out Anson belts! My favorite is the 1.5” traditional buckle in silver or gunmetal, and I’d pair it with the Cognac or Chocolate styles. Thanks! :)
Greetings Antonio, I'am your regular follower from INDIA.Your work is really appreciable.i personally adapt your dressing techniques for my collage and they are very helpful. I personally liked the classic buckle black and 1.25" black strap.

Real Men Real Style hi Antonio I am 16 years old I got 9/10
I liked the black and cognac leather. For the buckles I liked the traditional in silver, traditional in gold and classic in formal gunmetal.
8/10...I'm working on getting a 10/10, though.
The classic Black Leather and the Cordovan Leather belts would look rather sharp with the Classic Silver, Classic Matte Gold, and Classic Gunmetal, I think. (Thanks for introducing me to that company; they have an intriguing product!)

My boss compliments me,my gm compliments me,my ceo compliments me,people at the club compliment me specially señoritas,other business people compliment now I have other people asking me for help thanks to you and of course I share your videos with me!! Thank you so much 🙏
This video perfectly captures why you are my go-to men's style guy on UA-cam. You encourage us to think of style as a Tool for Living. Miles ahead of the average men's style channel that only talks about what this season's fashion picks are. You offer us the foundation, the 'why' to do this or that fashion move, not just the 'what.'

And thank you for the things you've taught me
You got me at the belts!! I bought the belt box... I took me 1h to choose the 2 buckles..finally I m happy because I replay need it!.. I wanted the old style gold golf buckle that I could't afford..:)
SCORE is 9/10..great video!
The Classic Antonio...mentions every UA-camr. Humble personality
Gotta respect the shout outs. I love when UA-camrs respect each other and can recognize others in the same space.
I like you more than Alpha M or Jose. You dont joke around and do spin jumps or full of yourself. You get straight to business and you are definitely more mature! Love your stuff!
Considering how long I have been following you, neither of us should be surprised that I got most of the items right. But I always learn things from you which is why I keep following.
I just wish I had known all this about 55 years ago!
Awesome!
Yes a perfect score on every item, however this did not happen overnight it’s taken years of trial and error to get to the point you feel, look and project the image you want. As for Anson belts, they are the only belts I wear and have been give them away as gift for years, the adjustability is what I enjoy as well as the awesome selection of colour options available. Thanks for reaffirming my own style rules are spot on.
Thanks again Antonio for another great video. I'v learned, being a bigger guy, 6'1" and 260# fit is critical. It can be disheartening when shopping. I learned a long time ago, that I can't buy a suit, or jacket off the rack. If it fits my chest and shoulders, it doesnt fit any other part of me. If i get good sleeve length and fit thru my mid section, the shoulders are too narrow. I know they're gentle men that watch your channel and feel like I felt for years. Fit, fit, fit, get a good fit, and the rest will come easily. The easiest path for me, is #1 fit, #2 function, #3 form (style). I've found that by following those steps in that order, spending money on my wardrobe staples less gut wrenching when I see the price.
You are so on point with Anson belts. Just got my second 3 straps 2 buckles and I have to say that you have guided me on a path that I didnt know that I needed to walk but am enjoying the journey as I go!!
🔥 RMRS tips + guy = stylish guy 🔥🔥
In the last year since I started to watch your channel and the others mentioned I have started to take those lessons and invest more in myself and not just style but controlling the message I put out there. This helped me to get the courage to go out and ask for that pay increase and ultimately a new better job.
Anson belts look great hopefully they have them in a size that fits I'm a 42 waist. I like the 1.25 cordovan, cognac and black belts. I really like the traditional buckles, both the formal and regular gunmetal. Keep up the good work Antonio.
I'm so much better in style because of you Antonio. The complements are overwhelming. Thanks!
Damn, I love your videos and your work Antonio. I can pass many months without caring much about style but I always come back at some point to your channel and it's every time a delight listening to you. Please, continue. You make a difference in our lives, I assure you.
I actually got 9/10. I was surprised about that. As for the formula, that’s the tried & true “cost per use” calc. Glad you mentioned it.
7/10 Let's go!!! One day I'll get to 10/10. Greta video as always.
If I do get selected, here's what I'd pick:
Buckles: 1.25" traditional silver buckle, 1.25" classic formal gunmetal buckle
Strap: 1.25" black leather, 1.25" dark brown, 1.25" chocolate vegetable tanned leather.
Shoppinh with a list is the best advice there. Good for life too: Make a plan, stick to it. That and NEVER STOP LEARNING.
Anson belts look great. For me it would be classic and onyx in silver. All my watches/jewelry is silver.
Black, cognac and grey canvas would get everything covered in my opinion.
As someone who has always worn T-shirts and jeans because he was never taught how to dress properly, thank you. Thank you so much. I wish that I had learned this years ago.
I've been following this channel for so long that I already knew all the rules. Still, it's great to be reminded of them, and have them all organized together in a single video.
Thank you Antonio, for helping me change my style, and thus my life, by being someone I can look up to and use as a role model.
Edit: Oh yeah, for the belt I'd go for a traditional silver buckle and a strap in cognac leather. All 1.5", since I usually go for business casual.
One of the best videos on style I have seen and I have watched a few. Simply well done and thanks.
up until a few years ago I couldn't care less about my clothing. Lately I am more and more interested in being well dressed. I think I am still discovering my own style. Video's like this definetely helps. So thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
Awesome video Antonio! Thanks for all the lessons and i hope one day to attend to Menfluential!
If i would choose some of those awesome belts, my choices are:
1.5" Traditional Buckle in Gunmetal or 1.5" Traditional Buckle in Antiqued Gold
1.5 black microstrap or
1.5" Cognac Leather Strap
Have a nice day!
I really like your message. Makes good sense and I was glad to see you refer to your UA-cam "colleagues" as they have great information.
Got 6 out of the eleven. Got to work on not falling for the sale and working on my list of things I know I would buy use regularly.
Great tips I must say.
7 out of 10 , I have learnt to be strategic with my purchases of items that can be interchangeable as well as buying things that makes me extremely confident and raise my status.Spending on items that have value as well as using it as most often as possible has brought in high returns in terms of my quality of life.
I love the Classic Silver 1.25 Buckles as for the straps i love the Formal Black Leather Strap and the ReD WHITE Blue CLoth Strap :)
Nailed it, in part because I have watched you for years and taken the advice on fit, quality, and basics to heart. Good stuff Antonio.
Hi Antonio,
I got 8/10 which I consider to be great since I am only a 17 year old.
Missed out on the first two points but I am gonna work on it.
My favourite points out of these one are buy classics over trends and I follow it whenever i go out shopping for myself.
If I am fortunate enough to be selected for the gifts you are giving out,I would like to receive a gift box with black,light brown and grey leather straps with classic in black and classic in silver buckles with 1.25 inches in width.
It would be wonderful to win since these belts would bring a lot of versatility and interchangeability into my still growing wardrobe.
But as always KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,ANTONIO.
KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING.
I got 8 out of 10. And as a former mechanic I had the same philosophy with tools. Any tool that was in my hand every day/often I bought quality or updgraded quickly. Paid off and it fit me well. I do that with clothes to.
At 22 I have not finish developing my taste yet. I was very much into just throwing on a band T-shirt and jeans and benign on my way. But I as grew into build myself confidence and self esteem up more and more I realize that old school gentleman fashion is what I like. I like to to keep things simple as well with blues, blacks, browns, grays and whites. Occasionally throwing in some pink and purple. I would like to continue to expand my wardrobe but I do only like get great quality think and at this time I am not financially secure to finish, but ever now and then I add one or 2 items. I enjoy watch videos to learn about new items that I could keep and eye for and add on to my list. I’ll have save up and invest in these belts I do like the chocolate vegetable strap with onyx smoke buckle.
Eye for quality
Buy strategically
Control my message
Buy items I love
Spend more on what I wear more
Definitely buy classics not trends
Buy needs
Develop my uniform
I definitely love the green red stripe strap and the cognac leather strap. As far as buckles go I like the silver. I lived this video by the way, it was really good to hear ways to really make sure that I’m doing all of the thing I need to to present myself, thanks Antonio!
I love your videos, and your emails as well, as they often have profound quotations and thoughts. I pretty much failed this quiz, but what a great list to write down! Also, Antonio, I've turned on a close personal friend in the business world to your channel, and he's thrilled with the amount of information you offer. I'm retired from radio broadcasting at 56, but you've got me working on a NEW ME! THANKS!! PS: Heavy Metal music served me well!
Loved the video! If I were to get an Anson belt I'd probably pick up a more casual one and grab the 1.25 navy - white cloth strap and the traditional 1.25 buckle in silver!
I got 7 of the 10 but 8 of 11 if you count the last one no.11. I was surprised that no 11 wasn't further up the list. I take exceptional care of my clothing and my shoes. My youngest mimics my mannerisms almost to a tee with her clothing and shoes also.
I liked the 1.25 gunmetal. Silver, and onyx gold buckles with the black, lt brown faux croc, and chocolate micro straps.
Keep making these videos Antonio
I got an 8/10... Two years ago before I started watching you I think I would've gotten a 1/10 haha. My favorite buckle is the 1.25" onyx buckle-matte gunmetal and my favorite strap is actually a tie between the 1.25" black vegetable tanned leather strap and the navy canvas strap. Thanks for teaching me so much about style over the years!
I got a 10/10! And I have to say, these were rules to which I started paying attention not so long ago. I'm now in the second half of my 20's and I'm really taking the time to study and improve my personal style and way of life. Thanks to channels like this, it's been a very gratifying task!
If I get selected for the belt giveaway, please send the 1.25" cordovan leather strap with the 1.25" classic buckle-gunmetal.
Thanks, as always, for the awesome tips, Antonio!
I have learned most of these rules the hard way, by making my own mistakes, but I will give you credit for a couple of them, Antonio. I will add a personal one: ALWAYS be on TIME! It shows you respect other people's time.
I'd love to try an Anson belt, if I would pick one, I'd go for Traditional Gunmetal buckle and black belt.
A sewing kit was always on our gear list for any kind of operation in the marine corps. I remember having to go to the px all the time just to buy one.
Hi Antonio, I have learnt so much from your content and I am confident with my style. I have started my financial education channel and thanks for inspiring me because I spent time in front of clients so your guidelines are always on point so as my closet.
Just made it! 7/10 (or 8/10 with the bonus tip). My big pitfalls are that I haven't decided on my message, that I'm not experienced with spotting quality (your videos have helped), and I haven't spent much on education... Granted in my situation, of course I'm up to speed on all the thriftiest style rules.
Super interested in Anson Belt and Buckle!
I'm eyeing the Saddle tan casual leather strap, and the beige microsuede strap (these aren't met by my current belts), and my favorite buckle has gotta be the nickel free traditional buckle-- all in 1.25" widths.
I love your value equation. I used a similar one not only for style but for everything. IMy equation was value = time of usage / price. I absolutelly need to add the feeling factor, but i'll stick with time of usage instead of number wear.
You dont know how i am grateful for you . You are real gentleman.
9/10
Thanks a lot
Thank you, Abzal!
Thanks a lot Antonio for this great video, I really loved the first 6 rules, and got benefit of them.
My belt is black leather strap with silver colored buckle
9 out of 10 Wow! I was able to get a high score because I educate myself through your blogs and videos. You're inspirational, thanks Antonio
Awesome - Did you have a specific belt style in mind?
A dark brown belt with a golden buckle, but a silver one is fine. Thanks!
I'll make the strap a bit more specific. Dark Brown leather strap 1.25"
Indeed an excellent video certainly full of a plethora of use knowledge I personally appreciate the great effort you put in this video to help your subscribers educate themselves on 10 style rules every man should know!
Another excellent video Antonio. I like the idea of a belt system. I will work towards incorporating that into my wardrobe for sure. It'd be nice to get the gift set with two belts three buckles to start off though.
Knowing your measurements before going into the store is brilliant! 8/10!!
For a while now I have owned a rose gold with a white face watch from the fifth watches. I love it! Super sleek and classy. It’s my most complimented watch. However, I don’t have a rose gold belt buckle. So I haven’t been able to wear my watch with my suit. It would be great to get 1.25” dark leather, chocolate, and cognac leather straps with rose gold and formal gun metal buckles so I can finally complete my look with my favorite watch!
Thanks Antonio! You’re the best!
1.25" Black leather strap
1.25" Dark brown leather Strap
1.25" Classic buckle-black
1.25" Onyx buckle-matte gunmetal
Thanks for the rules. Grate video.
Did you get at least 7/10? :)
9/10 because of watching your videos. After leaving my last job I was told the style bar would now be lower. That is thanks to you. Gun metal grey and saddle tan. I would also say a video from Anson on how to match colors with popular shoe brands (Allen Edmonds) would be awesome.
I’ve been watching for about a month now, and I’m genuinely surprised to say I got 9/10, soon to be 10 once I get a tape measure. I have to say, guys like you and Alex Costa have helped me transition my life from the bland position of not knowing how to present myself at all into the ambitious man I am today. If you decide to choose me for the belt giveaway I’d prefer the saddle tan leather strap with a traditional silver buckle, to go with a certain pair of Florsheims that’ve been particularly hard to find a matching belt for
I love the Anson belt concept. I'm saving up to get the brown and black leather straps with the brushed steel buckle, polished steel buckle and matte black buckle.....every outfit covered for me ;)
Thank you Antonio, this video was such a great recap of so many things you’ve taught in other videos. I shouted out loud when I scored my 10/10...!! I’ve taken the time over the last few years to craft a wardrobe that has both current style and classic designs so that I can mix & match s well as sticking with my signature look. I’ve invested in bespoke as well as off the rack, so I wear Hawks & Curtis for my everyday wear, along with TM Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt, and then I have Brioni, Pal Zilleri and Gieves & Hawkes in my bespoke items. I’ve even applied similar principles to my shoe purchases so that I always have the right shoes to wear. The Anson belt and buckle collection looks awesome. I really like their black & dark brown formal belts with the silver and gold basic buckles. I think a belt should be elegant and understated, after all it’s thereto enhance and create a break in the outfit, rather than make a statement on its own...!! Thanks for all the advice...!!
Glad to hear it!
As an educator, I really find your videos very informative. I have just started updating my wardrobe after watching several videos from your channel and it has helped me a lot when it comes to presenting myself in public. I speak in front of my students, colleagues and parents. I was not very confident before but by applying your tips and advices, I slowly become more confident in presenting myself now. Thank you so much Antonio for this channel. You have done a lot of men great service! I love the classic look when it comes to belts, the silver buckle with black and brown leather always works with my uniforms.
Tfw you got didn't get any pointers right. This was posted on my birthday and it was the perfect wake up call. Thanks for this video.
Any combination is fine if i get lucky, gotta ditch my wardrobe anyways
1.5 inch black canvas belt with classic gunmetal buckle! My style is definitely more casual! Great video as always!
Knowing the quality that they provide, I'd be grateful for any belt that you send over, not a picky guy. Amazing content as usual, keep it coming!
Did you follow the directions in the video?
I have to admit that I got all of them except the measures, because most of my suits are custom made and my classic and casual styles are almost from the same range of brands, after that, I actually have a “uniform” for 3 different occasions like elegant, casual and sport.
By the way thank you for the knowledge and keep going, because every time that someone ask me about how I learn to dress, I take them to your channel.
I like the lite brown faux croc with the silver brushed buckle. Would match a pair of boots i have. Great channel thanks for all the great tips.
I agree. it is easy to fall into the sales trap--thinking you are getting a deal, but when you go to your closet and look at the purchase and find that you veer away from it- then it was only spontaneous buying and I agree you waste money even if it is a sale. BTW ANSON is the best . Besides the fact that I own many and it has multiplied by their combinations, they are the go-to company if I need to send a gift and introduce people to the best belt system
7 for 10!! Cleared the mission by following you!! good for me!!
9/10 Cognac Micro-Suede Strap with rose gold buckle. Big fan of rose gold. Like you videos they are a big inspiration to gentleman's style.
Yes, I got 8, and I ordered a belt set. Been looking at those for a while
Hi thanks for the inspiration in the video. Although I didn’t have a very good score I’m determined to use your tips to improve my style. These belts also look very nice and if it is possible I would love to get:
COMPLETE BELTS
Width: 1-25
Strap 1: Navy Leather Strap
Buckle 1: Traditional Buckle in Gunmetal
or a similar one.
Thanks Antonio for the knowledge that you shared with me.Your a bog part on the success on my life and career. Hope to hear more from you. More power and keep it up 💪👍🔥
Amazing video! I got 7/10 correct. I know my measurements, shop strategically, shops needs not wants, know what I stand for, invest in my education, buy what I really love, and spend more on what I wear more. 👍☺
If I'm able to get one then I'd like the 1.5" black leather or graphite canvas belt with the onyx buckle or the traditional buckle in silver. Thank you Antonio
1.25" on the leather for formal events please
I got 10/10. Since I'm rebuilding my business and wardrobe, you videos have been helpful.
Thanks, Antonio for the info on Anson belts which will be my next investment, I've learned tremendously from the blake stitch, Goodyear welt, and belts to using collar plackets which I just purchased and I feel like a million bucks. I went to your website to register for the Anson belts and couldn't find the link.
This is more than likely a no-brainer. But since my mother and I were very poor when I was young, I had to make do with very limited clothing and grew to appreciate what I had. I also learned at a young age to take care of my clothing myself since my mother was always working. Therefore I had to do my own laundry and... here it comes... ironing! Even when I joined the military, I was surprised to find young men who had never done their own laundry and had no clue how to properly use an iron. Just a thought. Oh BTW: Love these videos! Please keep up the excellent work. Take care.
Hey!
10/10 here!
The formula for value of clothing worked well for me!
7/10. Their website is awesome. I do like the black leather and definitely the Cognac leather. You always come through. Great Blazer by the way
Probably 8/10 for me; I need to learn how to sew! I would love to have the 1.5” Cordovan Leather with a Rose Gold or Gold (Preferably Traditional) Buckle, or a 1.5” Black Leather belt with a Black Classic buckle! I love watching your channel and I appreciate the quality information you offer!
Amazing video as always Antonio sir. Love you always. Yup got many of them right☺.
Simply love Anson belts .
I have been following you for a long time and have been with you on your journey to 2M and will always support you .
I don't get time to open you tube but i make sure the first thing i do when i open is watch your latest video.
If you choose me ,I would prefer the following configuration:
1.5 inch width
Cordovan or/ Navy leather strap
Traditional buckle in Rose Gold or/Formal Gunmetal . ☺😊
8/10 - Definitely remember making a few of these mistakes myself over the years. Great Vid
Hey Antonio, nice video and I like the combination of the grey jacket with the pink shirt very much.
Been a follower for a long time, I really enjoy how you talk about finding your message and displaying it; I never thought about that before. I would love a 1.25'' ESPRESSO VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER belt with a traditional belt buckle in gun metal. Thanks Antonio! Got 8/10 right.
always great to watch your show,s its the little thing,s i find are great to pick up one in the style,s and grooming love your work
I wish I knew more about fashion and what to purchase so I really felt this video hit home and will give me the confidence to know what i want and not fall into a trap
Great video!🔥🔥 I like the cognac leather belt and the cordovan leather belt, both with traditional buckle silver. 🙌🏻✌🏻
I would say I knew 8 of those 11. I need to get a button sew kit. I notice that my vests and jackets tend to have loose buttons.
My style I've been getting the most compliments on is with browns and golds. It works well with my skin tone and facial hair color. I would go with the gold buckle and the light brown 1.25" or the faux croc strap.
Thanks good points when I was going into the ministry I had suits & sport coats I was younger and thinner , now I am in Barbering, I like the vintage look it is basic and foundational I am a short man measurements count, Your info is helpful to my profession.. I wear mostly brown shoes I do have one pair of black oxfords.
9/10! Not too bad. I'm young so I'll still hop onto trends every now and then BUT only if it will strategically works with my wardrobe. Thanks Antonio!
10 out of 10! Thank you for these videos! While I am away, you are helping me to reshape my style!
I got a 8/10, not too bad! I really like the light brown and saddle tan leather 1.25" belts with classic matte gold and traditional rose gold buckles, if you got them. Thanks Antonio and keep up the amazing work! From your biggest fan in the Philippines.
8 of 10. I will definitely implement the other 2 rules. The 1.25" chocolate leather strap with a 1.25" classic silver buckle would be perfect for my wardrobe. especially in combination with my new brown double monks!
I just love the classic belt combination:
Brown leather with a silver buckle.
It works great with my boots too, and actually that's the only item I am sure I will use forever.
Right now I own two belts, both Brown/silver, but both of them are getting those cracks at the holes as you mentioned.
So I really would love a new belt (system).
I agree about buy what you love, I love gray tweed or wool sports jackets with elbow pads... it's an old look but I love it.
New subscriber here, made a 9/10. You helped me a lot over the recent month. I think traditional silver would fit me the best. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for this information. I watch you regularly to learn more about modern men’s fashion to fit with my business and this was perfectly timed for me.
Oh and I scored 8/10.
My favorite Anson is the formal black leather btw.
Keep up the amazing work!
Love your work! Got 9 out of 10. Working towards that 10.
For the Anson Belts I love:
1) 1.25" Dark Brown Leather
2) 1.25" Cognac Leather
3) 1.25" Picante Vegetable Tanned Leather
4) 1.25" Cognac Micro-Suede
If you had any of these to give I would be extremely grateful.
I got an 8/10 and two things to work on. One of the most important things I need to start doing is knowing my measurements. As a result of not knowing them, I have a lot of pants that are too large in the waste (plus, losing weight makes them even looser). What's the solution? Obviously I need to get my hands on an Ansen Belt! I'm a simple man with simple needs- a black leather belt (1.5" preferably) and a silver buckle. I wear my current basic holed belt constantly and I need to upgrade to something that'll withstand the wear and love. That versatile belt will work like a charm! Thanks Antonio!
Antonio very nice combination of the pink shirt with the gray jacket!
8/10!
Hey Antonio, I’d love to check out Anson belts! My favorite is the 1.5” traditional buckle in silver or gunmetal, and I’d pair it with the Cognac or Chocolate styles. Thanks! :)
I've been looking for a good belt! Now I have one!!! I want the black leather strap with the traditional buckle in matte gold!
Greetings Antonio, I'am your regular follower from INDIA.Your work is really appreciable.i personally adapt your dressing techniques for my collage and they are very helpful.
I personally liked the classic buckle black and 1.25" black strap.
9/10 Because no one is perfect. Croc strap is awsome!
