5 Most Common Beginner or Young Man Style Mistakes ( I made them too)

About this video

The Gazette team covers five common style mistakes they made as young men and how to avoid them: wearing dated or inappropriate ties, investing in black suits instead of navy or charcoal, choosing boxy square-toe shoes, overcombining patterns and accessories in single outfits, and buying clothes exclusively on sale rather than investing in versatile classics.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends building a tie collection around classic styles like dark navy silk and burgundy grenadine rather than trendy, dated, or novelty ties that limit versatility
• The Gazette team argues that dark navy and charcoal suits are more versatile investments than black suits, which have limited daytime use and look harsh
• The Gazette team advises focusing on quality foundational pieces over sale items, as marked-down garments often didn’t sell for good reason and have higher cost-per-wear despite lower purchase price
• The Gazette team emphasizes restraint in outfit composition by limiting accents to one bold statement piece paired with solid basics rather than mixing multiple patterns and colors together
