Welcome back to the Gentleman's Gazette!
Today's video is about the things I get most complimented on and I want to share them with
you so you can adapt them and get compliments too.
Getting a compliment is a confidence boost for everybody I know and probably also for
you.
One of the benefits of dressing well is not that you just get better service, people respect
you more, but naturally, you'll also get more compliments.
Because you dress up, people automatically assume you know about clothes, they also assume
a certain level of wealth and status, and they just think of you more highly.
In my experience, it is also a great conversation starter, if you are a little shyer, receiving
a compliment is a perfect way to start the conversation.
Now unfortunately, a lot of people aren't used to getting compliments once they dress
up, they get them, they don't know how to reply properly because of that, we did a video
on how to reply and accept and take a compliment and you should definitely check it out here.
Now I like to dress up and in 95% of the cases, I am always the best dressed man in the room
or in the situation and because of that, I stand out in a certain way.
I do so subtly and most people can't pinpoint it at the same time, it just earns me compliments
automatically.
Dressing differently and especially dressing up will earn you compliments too I guarantee
it.
Over the years I've received a lot of compliments, and so I sat down and thought about what I'm
most complimented on and what are the things that I earn compliments for so you can cut
right through the chase and do it yourself as well.
One, I often get complimented on my general outfit or on the way I look.
Sometimes people will say "hey great suit man" even though it's a sport coat combination,
and so all I do is thanks and smile because I don't want to insult a person and not give
other people compliments in the future and also don't look like a jerk.
Most of the time, people will just say "hey you look really great" and they don't notice
all the individual elements that are in my outfit but they just think overall, it's very
pleasing to their eye.
In order to create outfits like that, you want to have a harmonious outfit with no single
item that stands out too much.
You can do that with colors, and with patterns, with textures, and it's really too much to
discuss in one video, so I'd suggest you check out our videos here regularly on this channel
and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
Two, boutonnieres.
Probably the single most item I get compliment for are the lapel flowers or boutonnieres.
While most men haven't heard of them today, they're actually something that have been
around in classic menswear for a long time.
They've just fallen out of favor because it was a lot of work to get a fresh-cut boutonniere
from your florist everyday; not only was it expensive but you also needed a florist close
by that knew how to make a boutonniere.
Unfortunately in this day and age, it's very rare to find a florist who can actually do
that.
When I went on a cruise, I realized I wanted to wear boutonnieres a lot more but I couldn't
find them, so I decided to design them myself and we've created silk boutonnieres that look
like real flowers but they're actually not.
It has the advantage that they will never wilt, you could wear them day in and day out,
and it's also a lot less expensive.
It's really such a simple thing and it takes even less time than putting in a pocket square.
In our shop, we also have over 40 different kinds in different colors so no matter what
colors you prefer or if you have a lot of blue tones or red tones, we have the right
flowers for you.
The minute you wear it and no matter if you are in the airport, at restaurants, and a
meeting, people will always notice and compliment you on it.
Honestly, that's not just my experience, I talk to lots of customers and my father-in-law,
my father, whoever wears it gets the compliment.
The third item I get a lot of compliments for are colorful gloves.
Obviously, you can only wear them during the colder months of the year or during the transitioning
seasons, but if you go with unlined gloves, you really only can't wear it in the summer.
Most men today wear either black gloves or brown gloves, however, elegant gentlemen in
the past would often wear grey gloves because they weren't as dull as black and it would
combine with a lot more items.
Also, they would have chamois yellow gloves or burgundy gloves or very light cognac colored
gloves because of that, I decided to design a range of gloves in different colors and
materials with a little button for old twist that provided a really great range of movements,
out of very soft leathers, in colors that are easy to combine in your outfits.
So if you're in a market for a pair of gloves, I urge you to check out our shop because we
have gray, we have burgundy, we have dark green, we have petrol blue, we have cognac
with brown, and anything else you would want to have in a nice pair of gloves.
We even have bronze rust orange gloves because most men wear boring black and brown gloves,
I always get a compliment from at least one person whenever I wear them.
The fourth thing I'm probably most complimented on is a three-piece suit.
People won't say "oh what an awesome great three-piece suit" because sometimes they
won't even notice but I can tell that I get more compliments with three-piece suits than
with two-piece suits.
I suspect that's because a three-piece suit is less common, it also shows less of your
shirt at the same time, you wear your jacket unbuttoned and people can see the pattern
of the suit, and it just provides a different air around your appearance.
So if you're in the market for a suit, consider getting a three-piece suit next time because
that way, you can wear as such or maybe combine it with other items in your wardrobe.
The fifth thing I get most complimented on is probably my rope stripe navy suit.
While some people think of it as an Al Capone suit, most people really like it and for some
reason, they think it's a 30s suit even though the 30s suit is not quite cut in the same
way.
Most people are not so familiar with the intricacies of suit cuts and they just associate a double
breasted peak lapel suit with stripes with this kind of era.
It's just a very interesting look and some people would consider you to be a banker,
or someone of a certain standing, because other people would not wear a suit like that.
The funny thing about this rope stripe suit is that it was actually my first quality suit
and it was from Ralph Lauren Purple Label.
At the time, I could have never afforded new so I just bought it off eBay for a few hundred
bucks but it was an investment and it's to this day the favorite suit of my wife so I
wear it on occasion and whenever I do, she's particularly pleased.
The sixth thing I'm complimented on most often are vests.
I love to wear vests especially during the fall winter season because they add a layer
to my outfits, they keep me warm yet they provide an opportunity for me to change the
look of exactly the same outfit with just a very small investment.
My favorite odd vest to combine is probably the burgundy vest and you can learn more about
our vests and how I combined them in this video here.
The seventh thing I get most compliment on are jackets in an unusual color.
Most men today wear colors in let's say black, charcoal, or some form of Navy.
If you wear a different colored jacket such as this Brown and off-white Prince of Wales
check with a blue over plaid, it just shows that you are different than other men and
the same is true if I wear for example, a green jacket, or a seersucker jacket, or any
kind of thing that is just outside of the usual realm of what most men would wear.
This is not only true for suit jackets, Blazers, or sport coats, but also for more casual items.
For example, the other day, I took a walk around the lake with my light green linen
Safari jacket and three separate people stop me and complimented me on my jacket, as well
as on my driving gloves.
One man even went so far as to ask me where I got it so he could get one himself.
Another jacket I get complimented on very often is a quilted jacket made of a houndstooth
tweed in brown, green, and caramel colors.
It's something I wear a lot during transitioning season; sometimes just over things or when
I run some errands, and people always look at it and are like "wow this is an awesome
jacket where'd you get that" so if you want compliments try to get something that is out
of the ordinary without being too flashy.
No one wants a bright orange or bright red suit because that's just over the top.
If you go with subtle patterns and colors such as brown, that's enough to make a difference
and stand out and earn a compliment.
The eighth thing I'm most complimented on are bowties.
Most men today either don't wear any form of neck wear or maybe they wear ties but very
rarely knew they were bowties.
It takes a certain kind of man that can pull off a bowtie and if you're not sure you can,
I urge you to watch the video on how to pull off a bowtie because I firmly believe every
man can do it and once you do so, you become more confident and automatically you'll get
more compliments.
I know some people associate a bowtie with a certain kind of standing such as a college
professor but you can even pull them off as a young guy and it's just about a matter of
confidence and how you combine them with your colors.
So, All these eight things are something that you can do as well in your wardrobe and I
guarantee you once you make those changes, you will get compliments left and right!
in today's outfit I am wearing a more untraditional suit in the sense that it is a Prince of Wales
check with an overplaid most of the time people only see this as a sport coat but not as a
suit that in itself makes it special because of the blue over plaid I combined it with
a blue dress shirt from and with it I have a bow tie from Fort Belvedere in a shantung
silk fabric that is red and blue because of that it's not a very bright color but it's
very subtle and it goes well with the shirt in the suit yet it provides a certain amount
of contrast the yellow stripe likewise provide contrast in my bow tie but it's also picked
up by my bright tan shoes my pockets square is also from Fort Belvedere in a different
kind of blue tone that just ties everything together my socks are solid Brown with clocks
and I could wear them very well with this outfit because it's not a solid suit or solid
pair of pants but a pattern pair because of that it's very easy to combine solid socks
with it to learn more about how to combine shoes with socks and pants please check out
this video here because blue is another one accent color in this outfit I went with a
gold ring and the blue stone as well as a light blue delphinium boutonniere because
like I said don't years are in the number one item I had compliments for you can find
all these accessories in our shop here if you enjoyed this video definitely make sure
to watch the video on how to take and accept the compliment because otherwise it's a moot
point to get compliments in the first place
