Can I click this at work? Is it safe? Lol

This guy is a little extreme on some of his points, but generally good advice even though I break some of his rules with impunity.

If I ever have questions on what to wear, my go to source is Ask Andy About Clothes.

He lost me on the Alpargatas.

I’m too old to be told what I should or should not wear...

toxicavenger · 27 June 2019, 02:07 AM

Anything mentioning the word dapper means it is not for me.

Fencer · 27 June 2019, 04:49 AM

Who is that idiot in short pants? Someone should tell him they are about 3" too short.

The Flood is Coming!

Jesus...

I also only made it a minute into the video. These are what he was suggesting you DO wear. Also, when a video has almost as many dislikes as it does likes, that's typically not a great thing.

Pigeon toed Gramma shoe wearing guy who spends more time in vintage tie shops than at the gym. Thanks for the solid advice sir. I'm good.

"A self respecting man never wears flip flops in public."

What a douche!

I stopped there. The fact he has 17k dislikes says something.

Reminds me of the saying "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and the world is filled with them."

He also reminds me of a quote attributed to General James Mattis, "When you men get home and face an anti-war protester, look at him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend because she knows she’s dating a pussy."

This dude checked his man card a long time ago. Alpargatas? Uh, yeah...

CamSLC · 27 June 2019, 01:46 PM

His suit doesn't fit.

Rock · 27 June 2019, 03:48 PM

Pigeon-toed "Alpagartas" - possibly the ugliest shoe I have ever seen.

They'll call that "slim fit." Right up their with "skinny jeans" for men.

Their domain name is out of Mongolia, I find it hard to believe that such clothing would benefit a nomadic lifestyle.

Brew · 28 June 2019, 12:20 AM

Sven is on the money, except for those silly shoes. You guys should stop inhaling asbestos!

Seriously, right?!

My friend is Princeton grad, Columbia business school and manages hundreds of millions for a hedge fund. I was visiting his custom built home in Greenwich CT and he was wearing sandals

What a dummy! He definitely looks less smart. Well he does wear an Omega.

I think the saying about assholes goes, "Everyone has one and they all stink."

How much money you make or manage has no relevance when it comes to looking respectable.

You can be a billionaire and look like a tool. Or make close to nothing and look decent.

I'm pretty sure this is the meaning of smart as used in the video.

6a : neat, trim soldiers in smart uniforms
b : stylish or elegant in dress or appearance
c(1) : appealing to sophisticated tastes
(2) : characteristic of or patronized by fashionable society

Oh, as in debonair? Thank you for that clarification

I stand humbly corrected.

I prefer to look dashing if I may be so inclined.

erhein · 28 June 2019, 03:43 AM

I think he confused flip-flops with baseball caps on backwards. Baseball caps on backwards make one look less smart, as in dumb. Especially when the wearer lifts his hand up to shield his eyes from the sun.

ashbaug2 · 28 June 2019, 04:22 AM

Yep, the world keeps turning, and I keep wearing my flip-flops with a Rolex on my wrist, Zero f**ks given....

I grew up in Oregon, where flip flops and sandals are like shrimp to Bubba....

"Flip flops in shorts, flip flops in jeans, flip flops with socks on..."

ras47 · 29 June 2019, 02:38 AM

All those opinions on style and he still wears light brown shoes with a blue suit. C'mon dude! I was waiting for him to go into which buttons to leave undone on a vest. Hint: the answer is NONE of them.

Laughed with that too

Pretty sure Socrates, Hippocrates, Pythagoras etc all wore sandals.

Star Ferry · 29 June 2019, 10:42 AM

I didn't watch the video but personally I never wear sandals in public. unless I am at a pool, beach, or locker room. Yes, apparently many flip flop wearers are awesome and are walking to a Patek boutique, but I'm still not sold on exposing my hairy feet to the general public
