“Upwards of about $800”?! 🤣💸🙌🏽Hell no man there are shoes with exposed stitching that would look way better than those easily for a fraction of that price. I mean for less than $100. Leather or suede. There’s abso-fuckin-lutely no need to break the bank specially for those on a tight budget and are possibly upgrading their wardrobe for the first time. Good advice on the styling part nonetheless but come on, that much money for a single pair of shoes? You know people could buy great quality clothes and shoes for at least two years with that much money!!🤣😂😎
This guy dresses nice and obviously has style but he speaks like a 8th grade know it all…. He beats me in style but needs some public speaking, speech classes. Thanks for trying my guy.
Personally I only wear shiny dress shoes with suits, but I wear suede, nubuck or oiled leather dress shoes with jeans and chinos. Agree with brown shoes with blue jeans and a black shirt/t-shirt, but not brown shoes with black trousers. In reality there are really no rules, we should just wear what we are comfortable with.
I respectfully disagree with dress shoes and denim. Frankly, it’s a trend that had it’s time and will probably return again in the future. It reminds me of a time when men wore t shirts with vests, fedoras and a lot of accessories. Also a time when it was rebellious and cool to mix very formal pieces with very casuals pieces.
Dressing down dress shoes is like dressing up sweat pants. You can probably achieve it but it never really ever looks effortless or purposeful.
For the newbies keep it simple and streamlined. Instead try >>
Dress shoes:
Chinos (smart casual)
Suits (formal)
Denim:
Sneakers (Casual)
Chukka (smart casual)
I agree with owning a good pair (300+) of resoleable shoes but I would recomend only wearing them when needed formal events. This denim and dress shoe look will leave you looking like a yuppie or a hipster.
There are much better combinations that will make you look put together, effortless yet masculine.
I also think light washed jeans go well with derbies too, especially suede ones. Throw on a nice patterened button up on and your good to go. Blake stitched shoes are also a good alternative for those who feel like a goodyear welt is to expensive. Great video though.
Great video! I personally love double monkstraps combined with a good pair of denim, but I’m getting some mixed statements from this video, is it or is it not ‘okay’ to pair denim&monks?
Are you sure about your description of a goodyear welt? I understand it to mean that the sole is completely leather, with actual stitching. I have a pair of Joseph Abboud brogues, and they have that exposed stitching on the top of the sole, but it’s aesthetic and the sole is rubber. Also, a goodyear welted shoe isn’t always bulky, and can be quite dressy (Allen Edmonds for example).
Great video as always @Gent’sLounge. I definitely like the thought of the pairing a suede shoe with some dungarees. Goodyear welts are pricier because of the ease of being able to re-sole the shoe, however, due to the labor, it can be more costly. You also want to make sure the sole is actually sewn and it’s not just an embossed mark on the top. To double check make sure you see the stitching on the actual sole of the shoe. While I love the concept of suede for a shoe I would actually leand towards a derby, or captoe double monk as double monks are actually considered pretty informal and speak to an air of casualness. I love the breakdown of balancing the proportions as well as the "weightiness" of denim. It’s definitely necessary.
"Doesn’t look like a monk strap"? These aren’t even the same subject. You can get monk straps that are Goodyear welted. Sorry but the advice in this video is weird & off
What the Fuck? You said don’t wear a Wing Tip!!!, But Yet You show Yourself Wearing a Pair Of Brown Brogue Blucher "Wing Tips" In the Fucking Video???, Again, What the FUCK BRO… Could You Possibly make this Shit Anymore Confusing???? 😡

Great video , love denim with brown shoes . Ben
A goodyear welt can be found on all types of dress shoes.
No monks with jeans? Man…
What are the shoes in the thumbnail? I can’t seem to find them

Maybe it’s a just a fad now, but wearing your pants rolled up looking like floods is silly looking to me.
Bro wtf are you saying
2:22 wingtips are brogues btw. They’re also considered the least formal of the brogues
Im curious about the double monks
Can you guys do a video on dress boots as well?
thanks for the inspiration brotha! Regards Shane (Trinidad)

Great that younger men are giving advice on how to dress properly and not like kids. Keep these excellent videos coming.
