Interesting conversation about “no brown in town”. My understanding was that it referred specifically to brown leather shoes being for the country and black leather for in town.
I would absolutely wear R.M Williams boots with a suit
I'm living on the edge, Brown suit with boots 😅
I love wearing my brown Donegal tweed suit in London.
Best segment yet! Enjoyable back-and-forth banter and insights, excellent topic and certainly some things to learns and consider. Look forward to the next one. I like that Austin and Chris are opposites in many ways yet seamlessly makes their viewpoints mesh.
Thank you
Here's a rule I would not break:
No brown shoes with a black suit.
The chemistry between Austin and Chris is so watchable, it's addictive. Surely sartorial history has been all about the breaking with convention and rules? Think about it; compare a well dressed gent from 1800 with his equivalent of 2023. The rules discussed here are a lot more nuanced and I too have broken most of them at some time or other. For me, as I suspect for most, it all comes down to aesthetic balance in the eye of the beholder - personal style. If to break `the rules' is likely to draw unfavourable attention or comment from others, that is where I, personally, draw the line - says he who embraced the colourful young men's fashions in the latter 1960s!😲 Today, my dress sense avoids fashion extremes (mutton dressing as lamb) and although I like to embrace sometimes bold colours, I am a much more conscious - and derive huge pleasure - in co-ordinating everything in detail. I take a lot of inspiration from these Rampley & Co videos and am now a happy customer. All said and done, what a dull sartorial world it would be if all men dressed alike and no one broke `the rules’.
I thought "no brown in town' referred to shoe color.
5:48 tbh as a woman who is casul, yeah. I don't like wearing white/broght socks with dark shoes and pants, if you're wearing mostly dark colors then a persons eyes is immediately going to the outlier which is the socks.
Another great video, gents! Loved it! I was wondering, as you mentioned black is more formal color in terms of suits, what do you guys think of wearing a black suit during the day, as in a business suit?
i personally don't think black and navy looks nice. or any very dark colours with black. there is little contrast and to me it looks off. the only exception I make is for dark greys, because they act as a gradient transitioning into black.
Black and Blue - I first thought of the two characters from the movie "Dinner Rush" and how their demise came about. As regards clothing, I was instructed no solid blue jackets with black pants, and vice versa, no solid black jacket with blue pants.
Boots and suits - I guess in the US boots brings to mind Western Wear and I am not a fan of cowboy boots and suit. See that in Texas a lot and not a fan.
I really enjoy these videos.
How about color rules and the breaking (or maybe the stretching) of color rules with ties and pocket squares as a future segment?
Different countries have different rules, people shouldn't really wear black here because it's for mourning. Really dark charcoal is the equivalent and worn by nearly everyone daily 😅
I often wonder if the "no black & navy" thing is quite specific to the USA, like "no brown in town" is to England & the City of London. If I imagine a stereotypical London city gent he's probably clad in black & navy head to toe. I've honestly never heard of "no black & navy together" as a rule here in the UK. I personally enjoy breaking the "no black & brown together" rule myself & I especially like pairing black with light warm neutrals like beige, tan, cream etc
Tony Llama goes with everything.
I don't wear black except shoes. Navy is dark enough and black shoes are fine with navy. I do not wear a brown suit. I wear blazers now. No need for a suit in my current life. Brown suit???
I have a brown Donegal tweed suit and charcoal too 🤣
How about the rule of not wearing same colour of your hair above the shoes ? Always found that drastic
Interesting
Convention vs rule. I suggest there is a distiction.
That is a good point. I guess all menswear rules are conventions. Could you give an example of an actual rule?
@@chrismodoo6563Don’t button all the buttons on a suit jacket or waistcoat?
@@badgasaurus4211 I often button all my buttons on waistcoats.
Don't wear black tie before 6pm. Tell me I'm wrong
You’re wrong
Very wrong!
Happy to be! However in what sort of situation would you wear a black tuxedo in the afternoon? Performers would usually wear a formal lounge suit or white dinner jacket if outside. But a tuxedo?
I notice Austin is breaking a rule; he is allowing his tie to show below the button.
Red and Green should not be seen unless there is a colour in between…
One rule you shouldn’t break…shave your neck beard
Yeah, it's scruffy 😂
I'm an American, born, bed and raised. This Austin character is ridiculous ..and..unfortunately, personifies the slobbery that our U.S.A. has become...in all aspects.

How so?
