I wish I could. My insteps are so high I can only wear hush puppy style boots or dress shoes that tie. I swap the laces for longer ones to reach around my elephant stub feet.
I bought an Italian belt a while ago, it's made out of multicoloured strands of what seem to be stretchy para cord, and there are no holes in it - the tongue just slips through the weave so you can adjust it pretty much infinitely. And being multicoloured it pretty much goes with anything informal. I love it.
They are very cool and separates you from the conservative sheep. In my opinion it demonstrates that you have a sense of fun , creativity and don't take yourself too seriously.
In my experience, with women around the world, what they find sexy, in not particular order: Eyes, smile, hands, butt, culture, manners.. basically things you cant buy, all the things mentioned here are just adds on to the real things.
Women always compliment me when l wear silver rimmed eye glasses, slim untucked shirts, slim fit jeans, and grey suede Clark desert boots! Navy belts are a good add! Love my light blue Polo sports coat (use a tailor)
I was a hold out for awhile as well but bought a pair of “desert” colored from Thursday and love them. Sleek but not douchey, nice heel to make me taller, and the inside of the boots feel like butter (butta). I’m a convert.
Always wanted a pair of Chelsea boots but other more practical shoes or boots always came first. Now that I'm getting divorced, I will be grabbing myself a pair definitely. Thanks for the great content as always. Stay safe.😊
I'm glad I found your channel! I'm 62 I've been married for over 32 years! My wife has never had to pick out my clothes for me and we are not starting now! Matter of fact if she had to do that when we met I doubt if our relationship would have lasted! lolI have raised 3 boys that are now great young men to every one of them the way they look is important! I've taught them that important fact! I also know I don't want to wear skinny jeans or a tight suit! Thank you for the reminder that your clothing should be tailored to fit your body style! In years past all my suits also dress shirts were tailored! Now even my jeans will go to the tailor!
The hat is a great piece of advice. I used to wear a crushable waterproof felt hat to go out on the town many years ago. It definitely attracted the right attention.
I got my ears pierced with some small cheap gold plated cubic zirconia studs. During the six week healing period every time l went out , l had no end of female attention, (this hardly ever happened prior to having pierced ears with earrings). After the six week healing period was up, l went out and brought some quality small gold 3mm diamond studs. If anything this seemed to make me even more attractive to the opposite sex and 30 years plus later at 53, those studs look as good as the day l got them, even if l don't look as good. I still receive complimentary remarks from women even now about my earrings, so money well spent Whether it's a hat ,earrings or an item of clothing, l think some women are attracted to men who are prepared to be a little different, not necessarily following the rules.
Great video John. The most important point is proper fitting clothes. Unfortunately most men have no idea what their inseam, waist, sleeve, collar, and chest measurements are. The money you spend on tailoring is the best return on money spent on your wardrobe. You could wear Armani and still look like a mess if it doesn't fit....spend $50 - $100 on tailoring and BAM!
Hi John, now we are out of lockdown in Melbourne I went to my local bar yesterday and decided that I wanted to wear the good clothing I have. Light blue sports jacket, like the one in the video, pink shirt, cream chinos with a white straw hat and suede shoes. The number of complements I got was amazing. All through watching your videos.
@@hsard Invictus, yet another thing I learned that has to be worn. You really feel great when you dress well, but as John always states. The clothing has to fit well. Had my jacket sleeve turned up so the cuff could be shown, and also the chinos to fit correctly of which they alterations cost almost as much as the purchase.
I switched about 10 years ago and wish I had done so much earlier. Should do a whole segment on things you should just CLEAN OUT and throw away. #1 all your old underwear #2 all your old undershirts #3 most of your silverware #4 your old cologne #5 Socks #6 Sheets and Blankets - most of these things were cheap stuff I bought when I was young and broke or I got as hand me downs and I just hung onto it instead of replacing it with good stuff. My sheets were basically old pieces of burlap from Wal Mart bought in the 80's can't believe how much better life is wearing comfortable underwear sleeping on quality sheets.
Being healthy and fit is generally attractive, but an overweight guy with well-fitting clothes can look a lot sharper and more put together than a fit guy with oversized and unmatched clothes. If you pay attention to the list in the video, a lot of them boil down to "women find it sexy when a man pays attention to his clothing and puts thought and intention into it."
Just being at a healthy weight the clothes look way better! It's the same with a slender woman, the clothes compliment her body more so than a doughy body.
@@adrianasilitonga7335 Fine line between that and , Eewwww, that guy is spending too much time in the mirror. Vain. I think a lot of girls like solid guys without much vanity.
I really appreciate your consistently helpful advice and positive attitude, John. I have been following your tips over the last year and can testify to their many benefits. Instead of chasing women and seeking external validation I have instead focused on self-improvement. As a result, my healthier body and outlook, plus the fine details of a well put-together overall appearance have improved my confidence tenfold. Not only do women take notice, EVERYONE I encounter notices. It has quite literally changed how I move through the world. Thank you!
Exactly! I'm with you and still get more attention than I need because of John's amazing tips. I may have to force myself to stop watching his channel and unlearn his pointers to regain some semblance of just being a normal, anonymous guy again🙂
Your videos are amazing and full of very useful advice. Years ago ( I am 77 now) I watched American Gigolo and was impressed by his style and shortly afterwords I worked at Nordstrom where the female staff gave me a make over to point me in the direction of current styles. It was eye opening as it was from the point of a female perspective. Although your ideas are spot on, the advice I was given so many years age really did help me look the part of a salesman in the mens furnishing dept.
I'm good with the hat and the light coloured jackets. Been wearing those jackets for years. I like the oatmeal textured fabrics rather than a plain fabric. With MPB, hats cover it, and keep my scalp warm in winter. I go for smaller brims than fedoras or borsalinos, a bit too theatrical for me, again mid-dark oatmeal textured fabrics, although I do go full white in hot summer. Green bowls (or cricket umpires) hats are the thing for that. Modern cars aren't great for crown hats. Not much headroom, so watch you don't knock the hat off! I'm with you on the infinite adjust buckle, but I use a webbing belt buckle, which uses a cam/roller action to fasten. It came already with a pair of pants, but I've seen the buckles available separately. I like a looser belt for sitting, and tighter for standing/walking, so the quick adjust stuff is good. For pants I'm currently going for black jeans with no fake wear and black stitching so they can pass for suit pants. They have elastane and what I call a 'streaky dye', so they're again not a plain fabric. Unfortunately that fabric seems to be OOS everywhere, so I'm looking for alternatives.
7:30 “Still running around with fruit of the loom tighty whites, you are missing out”. I absolutely concur! Guys do your self a favor and “Get after it”! When your coworker wonder why you carry your self with MORE CONFIDENCE, just because your JUNK is supported. Some days it makes the work day go a sprinkle bit more quicker.
Always pick up a new nugget from your videos. I was aware of most of the things on the list, but didn’t know about Chelsea boots or light color sports coats. I need a pair of those gray Chelsea boots now.
Chelseas, regardless of upper material are always marred by that hideous tacky looking elasticated fabric panel. If it was on the outside and concealed behind a continuation of the leather upper, forming a covering terminating a little behind the fabric, Its rear edge free to allow the panel to flex while remain hidden from view. then they would actually look pretty sleek, but as currently made, the elastic panel will always look naf, (uk for crap) straight out of the box, and looks crappo majori long before the rest of the boot shows significant wear. Chukkas exude style and quality and look good for longer, and when they are worn in and no longer pristine they pair well with denim or twill, whereas Chelseas when no longer pristine can only pair well with the inside of a trash can.
You're so right about that type of belt. I have several and couldn't be happier with the adjustability. Also, where did you get the sweater you're wearing? Noticed you wore it in a different color in another video and haven't been able to find that texture. Thanks and keep em coming Sir!
He is so right about chelsea boots! I got my first pair, black leather chelsea boots, and on my first day out, I saw a girl checking me out (and turn away when i caught her). how did she see black boots under dark blue jeans? its cuz women do check out your shoes, in that first impression of you.
A high quality, very slim, leather wallet, with a premium grade American Express card always worked for me. You don't use it to try an impress a lady. You just leave with the Bartender when you order your drink before you move to the dining table. In "my day" American Express in some manner "tagged" the cards if you had virtually bottomless Credit, creates a level of service from the Hotel staff that will not only impress a lady, but it will impress every one else who may be sitting at the table. But that was Yesterday for me because I'm living the life of a monk, on Doctor's orders. But it was a lot of fun. Phil.
Never knew about chelsea boots, never knew about the belts, etc. Looks like I’ll be busy this weekend cleaning out this two decade old wardrobe closet. Thanks hoss.
I had not seen those belts. I'm headed over to buy some. Belts are one of the accessories that men under use. They are for far more than holding up our drawers.
@@Gentleman_of_Leisure You can improve your usual outfit, but not necessarily change it completely When I walk the streets for example and observe people's dressing style, online fashion models, etc., I then pick what I personally like and suitable to my taste. The flat white sneakers for example, no way for me to pick one, and that's fine. One good rule is to know the rules then be comfortable breaking them You also could figure out how to check your size. Like placing my hand extended over the arm pit area of a shirt, if it fits the shirt fits. The arm length can be easily adjusted by a tailor. I use that tip to measure trouser/pants waist size as well. I can also add to not give up on finding the proper fit out there. Countless brand names and you can find something somewhere. Just go out and don't be shy to try and know how to deflect those aggressing salesperson. Last tip, try a denim shirt if you never had. I own one from Eaton on a discount, and another from Peter Manning NYC.
Wranglers are cheaper than boots. The "denim puddle" to which you refer disappears when one is in the saddle, and the extra length helps protect the shafts of the boots.
Right...if you dress "western" because of where you live,travel OR just because you like the look its very important to have excess length over your boot.Women (and men) will judge negatively if this is not right, its just not done . IYKYK Wrangler butts still drive us nuts.
Interesting take on Chelsea Boots, i don't have one, but i do own a pair of Cowboy boots i bought in Montana, but i live in the Philippines and it sure attracts attention here when i wear them specially those tap noises they make when i'm walking
This is my 2nd video of yours.. Man I love you already!!! Good job! I loveeeee seeing men in suits/'jackets'../I'm not talking about tux or wedding suits.. Just simple suits..they can use a T-shirt inside with jeans..but still with a suit.. Oohhh
Ha! Before seeing this, posted the exact same comment. And…either you’ve won her attraction or the authorities need to be involved. No middle ground. She either wants to see you in your underwear, or she really, really, really doesn’t.
I remember those belts with detached buckles from early 2000. It was like $5 each on bazaar, and were sported by guys in polyester suits and square toe shoes. It's quite funny, they are back:)
Anson belts. Fantastic. I have eight belt/buckle sets and think they are great. Can't say enough good things about them. They look great and the fit is perfect. What I like is that I can discreetly tighten or loosen them as the day progresses. I've given these belts to my sons-in-law and they were very impressed with them. Seriously, Guys, give them a try. You will go back for more.
Thank you Sir 4 teaching me to dress my age. I've learnt so much from your videos. I'm from St Kitts. Slowly but definitely surely I'm upgrading my wardrobe, keep up the excellent work. GOD bless you abundantly
I’m a plain tee and jeans guy. I don’t have the work or social setting that encourages the wearing of nicer attire. My biggest issue is comfort but mostly the fit. My question is how do you get your clothes to fit so well?
Thanks for commenting! Try sizing down to see if shirts and jeans fits better (but not too tight). Also spending a few dollars at the tailor can help a lot.
I agree😁... i have middle brown suede Chelsea's with a rubber sole, not cheap but it was love on first sight. So comfortable. Fit to any jeans and the suede is by far not so sensible as i feared 👍
Great list! Some of these surprised me though... light colored sports jacket? I don't get it. I have heard that women love men in great fitting, not too tight, not too loose, gray sweatpants...ie, Public Rec. I think well fitting clothes is a must.
Hey John, I'm a young 60 yo and live in Phoenix. The temps are currently in the 60's. Can I wear a light grey suit or sport coat or do I have to be traditional and only wear it in the Spring and Summer?
Thank r you, I'm almost 65 and used to wear suits to work. I have been very slack the past several months; I found your channel and changed it up. Love pastels and feel tremendous but much better when I work a little harder to look my best always.
Hey John …I haven’t read the comments yet but I’m sure I’m not the only one interested in maroon sweater your wearing…would you mind sharing with us, where did you get it? Thanks!
Good haircit, teeth and body shape plus a bit of a glow. Good figure make a good clorhes horse. Also dont forget a positive attitude and confidence. Btw I work with fashion and beauty clients in Europe.
I don't like beards - not even stubble! Beards are uncomfortable when nuzzling and really yuck when kissing. Plus beards make men look older. The only reason I can understand for a beard is if you are trying to hide acne scars or some other facial deformation. Cut back on your fancy shoes and watches. Better to invest in some facials and laser resurfacing.
A good list. Here's a couple of things to think about that are either things I've experienced or things a few female friends have said look good. 1. Hats really don't work on short guys. This is coming from a very short guy. I know Bruno Mars can pull it off but hats kind of put a "lid" on the vertical line all short males try to maintain. Not sure if you or you're female friends would agree but this is my take on them. It's a pity too as I like hats. 2. An item my female friends (3 out of 4) look for is a watch. It doesn't even have to be a really fancy watch just appropriate to the outfit. They say it shows a sign of maturity and "put togetherness" that's missing in non-watch wearers. It's similar to eye glasses in that regard. 2 of them also said fashion watches like MVMT are a turnoff on any guy over 30. 3. I find gun metal to be a super useful colour for a buckle. Depending on its shape it's very easy to dress up or down and works well with any colour belt. As far as shape, stat away from the standard "horseshoe" shape if you want to dress it up. Well in my opinion anyway. Always enjoy the content, Christopher
So I have several different sport jackets, med brown, dark blue and light tan. What is, or is there a “rule” with colour or shade matching, ie: dark jacket/light pant or vis versa, or is there any such rule?
As far as tops and bottoms, there isn’t really a hard rule. I would generally go with a darker jacket personally. With complementary colors, check out the Canva color wheel.
I have a few hats (Flat cap) but find it to be something I only wear seasonally. Specifically in the fall or winter. I find it hard to pull off the look during warmer weather. I like to style the hat with a nice scarf and nicely fitted P-coat. Is there an ideal hat that would work better in warmer weather or is it a thing of less is more in the warmer weather?
I was recently speaking with a sharp, professional woman who owner her own corporate marketing firm. During our conversation I mentioned that I am a firefighter. She said I know. I asked how she knew as I had not previously mentioned it. She said that she saw my Fire Dept belt buckle. I was surprised and felt complimented. Yes, belts work.

One of the best “accessories” LOL

No, not simply money. But fools with money who think little of squandering their fortune on opportunistic women.
Been wearing Chelsea boots and jeans since my mid teens! I'm in my 50s now. Got it right without even knowing 😁
I wish I could. My insteps are so high I can only wear hush puppy style boots or dress shoes that tie. I swap the laces for longer ones to reach around my elephant stub feet.
I bought an Italian belt a while ago, it's made out of multicoloured strands of what seem to be stretchy para cord, and there are no holes in it - the tongue just slips through the weave so you can adjust it pretty much infinitely. And being multicoloured it pretty much goes with anything informal. I love it.
ha ha I brought one of these yesterday, Its great, Im going to buy another
They are very cool and separates you from the conservative sheep. In my opinion it demonstrates that you have a sense of fun , creativity and don't take yourself too seriously.
Does it work on women?
I'm a fan of those too. They retail, in the UK, around £35. On an Italian street-corner? About £5!
1. Glasses
2. Chelsea boots with jeans
3. Accessories - belts
4. Light color sport jacket (light blue, gray, tan)
5. Well fitting clothes - jeans, shirts, etc...
6. Facial hair - short growth and groomed
7. Hats - fedoras etc (not baseball etc)
8. Underwear - Trunks or short boxer briefs - no tighty whitey
In my experience, with women around the world, what they find sexy, in not particular order: Eyes, smile, hands, butt, culture, manners.. basically things you cant buy, all the things mentioned here are just adds on to the real things.

Nice tips John! I’ve definitely been trying to get my wardrobe game more on point a little bit at a time since it all add$ up very quickly..
Wranglers are cheaper than boots. The "denim puddle" to which you refer disappears when one is in the saddle, and the extra length helps protect the shafts of the boots.
Right...if you dress "western" because of where you live,travel OR just because you like the look its very important to have excess length over your boot.Women (and men) will judge negatively if this is not right, its just not done . IYKYK Wrangler butts still drive us nuts.
Thank you John. Your advice is always spot on. I started wearing Chelsea boots about a year ago, I get complements like never before.
Great to hear!
Glad my Chelsea boot addiction made the cut lol .
Great video 👍
You and me both!
Interesting take on Chelsea Boots, i don't have one, but i do own a pair of Cowboy boots i bought in Montana, but i live in the Philippines and it sure attracts attention here when i wear them specially those tap noises they make when i'm walking
This is my 2nd video of yours.. Man I love you already!!! Good job!
I loveeeee seeing men in suits/'jackets'../I'm not talking about tux or wedding suits.. Just simple suits..they can use a T-shirt inside with jeans..but still with a suit.. Oohhh
Thank you so much!!
A suit is a jacket and pants made of the same cloth.
If you get to the point of a woman seeing you in your underwear, then you did everything right. 😉👍
Ha! Before seeing this, posted the exact same comment. And…either you’ve won her attraction or the authorities need to be involved. No middle ground. She either wants to see you in your underwear, or she really, really, really doesn’t.
Hilarious and damn straight!
I remember those belts with detached buckles from early 2000. It was like $5 each on bazaar, and were sported by guys in polyester suits and square toe shoes. It's quite funny, they are back:)
Also there are plastic belt buckles. GReat for frequent fliers.
R.M Williams Comfort Craftsmans boots are the way to go for chelsea boots.
Just purchased my first box of anson belts and buckles. I have to say, they are pretty awesome!
Yes they are! Thanks for watching the video!
Hi John, I must say, your hair looks amazing. Whats the best products for silver/grey hair? My boyfriend has silver/grey hair
Wore a black leather Chelsea with Blue Jeans last week & everyone I mate was complimentary about it.
Happpy new.year bro
Your fashion commentary sounds holistic and passionate
Very impressive and heartfelt.
Good luck to you
Chelsea boots 🥾! You will be WINNING 💪🏾
Been wearing Chelsea boosts for 40 years, I find them very stylish on women
Those Anson belts really are as good as John says. I got the 3 belt, 2 buckle pack. Love them.
Yes they are!
My only problem is my belts keep getting longer each year. It could not be me could it....
Anson belts. Fantastic. I have eight belt/buckle sets and think they are great. Can't say enough good things about them. They look great and the fit is perfect. What I like is that I can discreetly tighten or loosen them as the day progresses. I've given these belts to my sons-in-law and they were very impressed with them. Seriously, Guys, give them a try. You will go back for more.
A sharp-dressed man will draw attention. I love the way my husband dresses!!!
Good information here, always interesting to hear the female perspective on what they consider sexy. Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing. 😀👏🏻
Thanks for watching Paul!
Thanks, man... Using some already and going to use the others.
Haven’t wore underwear in almost 30 years. Women love this even more
Thank you Sir 4 teaching me to dress my age. I've learnt so much from your videos. I'm from St Kitts. Slowly but definitely surely I'm upgrading my wardrobe, keep up the excellent work. GOD bless you abundantly
Ive just bought a box set of belts on youre recommendation john their on there way to England. Thankyou
Excited for you! You’ll love them!
I’m a plain tee and jeans guy. I don’t have the work or social setting that encourages the wearing of nicer attire. My biggest issue is comfort but mostly the fit. My question is how do you get your clothes to fit so well?
Thanks for commenting! Try sizing down to see if shirts and jeans fits better (but not too tight). Also spending a few dollars at the tailor can help a lot.
I agree😁... i have middle brown suede Chelsea's with a rubber sole, not cheap but it was love on first sight. So comfortable. Fit to any jeans and the suede is by far not so sensible as i feared 👍
Hi John great video very helpfull, as always great video, stay safe
Thanks, you too!
Congratulations 🎈🎈👏 for hitting 200k subscriptions.
Thank you!
Great list! Some of these surprised me though... light colored sports jacket? I don't get it. I have heard that women love men in great fitting, not too tight, not too loose, gray sweatpants...ie, Public Rec. I think well fitting clothes is a must.
The light colored sports jacket threw me off as well. I don’t own a sports jacket but I’ll still probably go with navy if I get one.
Agree with the light Color sports jackets. They look great
You forgot grey hair and beard lol they love it great vlog well done
Can’t wait for crocs season. The foundation for all summer attire
Frank & beans...Ball pouch and banana hammock...Gawd That's Funny.
Hello John, how are you? Great job on the video. Thank you for the enlightenment. Stay safe brother
Thanks, you too!
A couple years ago, I ditched all my FTL underwear for Mack Weldon trunks. No regrets!
LOL I was completing my 2nd Anson belt order as this was playing. They have a factory second sale on now.
Have always when i can worn chelsea boots but can wear them when i drive
Love your videos. Greetings from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
6:54 - fedora and trilby hats go with suit. Not T shirt and cargo shorts.
Great advice John
Thank you Ray!
Hey John, I'm a young 60 yo and live in Phoenix. The temps are currently in the 60's. Can I wear a light grey suit or sport coat or do I have to be traditional and only wear it in the Spring and Summer?
You absolutely can.
Another great video John. I almost spit out my coffee when I heard you say ‘’Frank and Beans’’ Have a great week!!!
Thanks, you too!
Buffway belts. Good leather and price. Good video and good advice....
Thank r you, I'm almost 65 and used to wear suits to work. I have been very slack the past several months; I found your channel and changed it up. Love pastels and feel tremendous but much better when I work a little harder to look my best always.
Thanks for watching Jon!
Found a pair of wing tip chunka work boots by timberland at least that’s how they were described to me by Dillards sales associate. Very nice boot
Yeah chukka’s are not in the same level with Chelsea boots when it comes to sexiness
Hey John …I haven’t read the comments yet but I’m sure I’m not the only one interested in maroon sweater your wearing…would you mind sharing with us, where did you get it? Thanks!
Recommend jeans?
Good video. Love the "banana hammock" ! :)
I had Lasik in the 90's, IT IS WONDERFUL.💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Good haircit, teeth and body shape plus a bit of a glow. Good figure make a good clorhes horse. Also dont forget a positive attitude and confidence. Btw I work with fashion and beauty clients in Europe.
Best belt I ever bought.
Love the topic & the responses. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Gregg!
Great items on the list. Frank and Beans lol
Grip 6 belts are really nice, too.
This past year I've bought 4 pairs of Chelsea boots, even black suede, I haven't wore them yet
Make it today!
Do so !
Thanks again John for the tips. 👌
You bet! Thanks Ron!
I agree with all 7 out of 8. I don’t like beards, 3-4 day grow out max! Little stubs is masculine but over that seems unkept.
Thank you for commenting!
I don't like beards - not even stubble! Beards are uncomfortable when nuzzling and really yuck when kissing. Plus beards make men look older. The only reason I can understand for a beard is if you are trying to hide acne scars or some other facial deformation. Cut back on your fancy shoes and watches. Better to invest in some facials and laser resurfacing.
A good list. Here's a couple of things to think about that are either things I've experienced or things a few female friends have said look good.
1. Hats really don't work on short guys. This is coming from a very short guy. I know Bruno Mars can pull it off but hats kind of put a "lid" on the vertical line all short males try to maintain. Not sure if you or you're female friends would agree but this is my take on them. It's a pity too as I like hats.
2. An item my female friends (3 out of 4) look for is a watch. It doesn't even have to be a really fancy watch just appropriate to the outfit. They say it shows a sign of maturity and "put togetherness" that's missing in non-watch wearers. It's similar to eye glasses in that regard. 2 of them also said fashion watches like MVMT are a turnoff on any guy over 30.
3. I find gun metal to be a super useful colour for a buckle. Depending on its shape it's very easy to dress up or down and works well with any colour belt. As far as shape, stat away from the standard "horseshoe" shape if you want to dress it up. Well in my opinion anyway.
Always enjoy the content,
Christopher
Thanks, John, for the great ideas!
Thanks for watching Scott!
Awesome name
One thing I think is really important , is smell nice , woman love men to smell good , but don’t choose cheap , or you will ruin the affect .
Wear old spice sir
Nothing but a good looking gun belt for me. Once I got the first one I never looked back.
Gotta try the trunks with banana hammock!
So I have several different sport jackets, med brown, dark blue and light tan. What is, or is there a “rule” with colour or shade matching, ie: dark jacket/light pant or vis versa, or is there any such rule?
As far as tops and bottoms, there isn’t really a hard rule. I would generally go with a darker jacket personally. With complementary colors, check out the Canva color wheel.
Shirts - I'm tall and slim with long legs and short body so tucked in tends to highlight this. What would you recommend?
Always wear a belt to break the line but with your described build you should be able to pull off most looks with ease
I have a few hats (Flat cap) but find it to be something I only wear seasonally. Specifically in the fall or winter. I find it hard to pull off the look during warmer weather. I like to style the hat with a nice scarf and nicely fitted P-coat. Is there an ideal hat that would work better in warmer weather or is it a thing of less is more in the warmer weather?
I was recently speaking with a sharp, professional woman who owner her own corporate marketing firm. During our conversation I mentioned that I am a firefighter. She said I know. I asked how she knew as I had not previously mentioned it. She said that she saw my Fire Dept belt buckle. I was surprised and felt complimented. Yes, belts work.
Maybe she also liked the fire hose under the belt
Funny, I wear a long beard for exactly the reason you mentioned. I’m only interested in the small percentage of women who like it.
