10 Things that Menswear Experts Will Judge You For (Silently!)
About this video
The Gazette team identifies ten common menswear mistakes that experienced observers notice and provides practical solutions for each. Covering issues from polyester satin ties and poorly fitting collars to thin fabrics and mismatched outerwear, the team explains why these choices detract from a polished appearance and recommends straightforward fixes to elevate any wardrobe.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that natural material ties, properly fitted collars, and quality over-the-calf socks create a more refined appearance than their cheaper synthetic alternatives
- The Gazette team recommends investing in proper knitwear maintenance, ironing dress shirts before first wear, and implementing regular shoe care routines to preserve garment quality
- The Gazette team contends that high-waisted trousers, heavier fabrics with better drape, varied colors and patterns, and seasonally coordinated outerwear are essential to classic menswear aesthetics
