I'd dress nicer if I didn't live in Louisiana. There's not many worse sensations than a drenched cotton dress shirt and swampy wool dress pants in the middle of summer.

I sometimes dress sloppy. I will admit it. I was also raised to recognize what I was doing was sloppy and not right for being out in public unless you are ok being judged .

I have pointed out to slobs before they should hold themselves to a higher standard and they are judged, the reaction was “frick yku, I have the right to be comfortable.”

bullshite, good clothes are comfortable

This is just an excuse, and shows that you don’t know how to dress.

There are seasonal fabrics. You don’t wear the same dress shirt and wool slacks in hot weather that you wear in cooler or cold weather. When it’s hit, you should make sure that you’re wearing poplin, fresco wool, and quarter or unlined jackets and blazers.

Work from home. Worst thing to ever happen to Americans having pride in themselves and their look

Shoot, I set the standard in the office.

Wear the appropriate matching watches too. None of that digital crap.

And ill be honest, I can thank StichFix for updating the office wardrobe.

How often and long are you outside for this to matter? It’s 72 everywhere that has climate control. If you’re still hot, stop being a fatass

This is the liberals fault for banning smoking



Back when everybody smoked you could get away with wearing the same few sets of clothes because nobody could smell that well

Taste, class, refinement, sophistication. It would be great to let go of this American slob culture.

It's just as bad for women.

Dress well and you get more respect. Stand out from the crowd!

I try to dress well. When my wife sees a good looking well dressed man while we are out, i want that man to be me.

A lot.

I'd say that a well fit button down and slacks looks better than a coat and tie in most business settings anyway. Wearing a jacket when there's no reason to is stupid.

Cheaper to have normal clothers than get a tailored suit? Probably wasn't the issue 100 years ago

Because people aren't going to actually watch the video. His arguments are as follows:

1. Society's push against "toxic masculinity" and towards androgyny has pushed people towards wearing clothes that appear unisex as opposed to gender coded.
2. Because of #1, the modern man is afraid of standing out and being memorable as a man, so they are inclined to dress in a way that doesn't draw attention.
3. The fashion industry figured out that men "dressing well" means fewer, higher quality pieces that last for decades, which hurts their bottom line. It's better for those large fashion conglomerates to push "fast fashion" on men in the same way they have women for decades.
