While I’m not a huge fan of making fashion “rules” (other than “if it looks good on you and you feel good, it’s in fashion”), a lot of the tips here, provided by BuzzFeed Video, are pretty great.
Before I was your handy-dandy men’s magazine editor, I sold and bought menswear, managed a men’s clothing store and spent days in and out styling dudes for everyday, for events, and even TV and movies.
So while I definitely don’t consider myself all that up on current fashion trends, there are some basic tips that stand the test of time, and almost every single one of these is a keeper. Though, frankly, any way you roll up your sleeves is going to be sexy (I’ve always thought rolled sleeves looked hot) – and styling shorts on guys can be tricky, wear what you’re comfortable in as long as they’re clean and not too large or too tight.
What do you think? Were these some pretty solid fashion tips?
This sense of style is definitely very heteronormative. In gay culture, many of these “rules” are considered total BS, or even strongly discouraged. And for good reason.

Last time I looked, neither Warren Buffet nor Bill Gates paid any attention to this nonsense.
And if you go MGTOW, you don’t have to either – and you’ll experience just as much personal freedom as they do.
It’s all about learning how not to care what anyone else thinks…something women are particularly bad at. That’s why the fashion industry preys upon women about 95% of the time. They’re easy marks.
Way to be sexist, guys. Always attacking women for no reason at all, keep it up. Show us your true faces. And so everyone knows: you can pay attention to fashion and be yourself an intelligent person. You don’t have to be part of any ~special group~ to be yourself, just like you don’t have to stop dating to be yourself. And most people, female or male, care about what other people think of them, but many times it is in different ways for both genders, naturally. In fact, Randy says some curious things: females could let their own womanhood… Read more »
You had me until you said pressured into it. Women aren’t pressured into it. Women choose to do that because they’re not willing to go ask men out. Women could collectively choose to stop shaving and men would adjust just fine within a few years. It’s BS to blame society or men for something that women decide to do with or without our approval. This is one of those areas where men don’t really get much of a say. I don’t recall anybody having asked me if I wanted women wearing makeup and dressing with low necklines to try and… Read more »
‘…most people, female or male, care about what other people think of them…’
One of the apparent truths in life that I just can’t get my head around. If I thought like this I’d have to kill myself very quickly.
Unless you’re a psychopath or a sociopath that applies to you as well. Humans are herd animals and our psychological state is based in part on the people around us.
I don’t much care for that either, but it’s easier to spend a few minutes to dress respectably and then free me of having to spend the rest of the day dealing with the consequences.
Some of it’s good advice and some of it’s just questionable. There’s no good reason to be wearing bright colors unless you’re looking to stand out. And the advice on socks is BS. Yes, you shouldn’t ever wear white socks with black shoes or with dress shoes, but there’s no reason not to wear them with most other shoes. Also, I can’t believe that the video implies that it’s OK to wear socks with sandles. If it’s warm enough to wear sandles, then you shouldn’t be wearing socks. If it’s sock weather, then you should be wearing proper shoes. As… Read more »
Well, I do wear white socks wth black shoes- at Work. I go to Make $$$$, not Look Good.
I also wear Socks w/ Sandals-Flip Flops ( a Size 14 Foot+ Hairy Legs= No Bueno- unless you are At the Beach or Pool
That’s your prerogative. It’s up to people to decide how they want to present themselves to the world, but it sounds like you don’t care. And that’s all well and good, but don’t complain when you’re dealing with the consequences of that.
It’s not rocket science, nor does it take a lot of work/money to wear clothes that comply with basic fashion guidelines.
I agree with most of it. But deep V necks and short shorts are just fine. Come on, men can also show skin as much as they want, their bodies are sexy – and even if it weren’t, that is about freedom, freedom of expression, freedom to feel comfortable in your own skin. I really dislike the way North America (and other societies alike?) likes to dictate to men their bodies should, SHOULD be covered. That it is nasty showing much of their legs or chest, or wearing more sensual clothes in general (it seems like men are more accepted… Read more »
