10 Style Rules Nobody Explained to you UNTIL NOW

About this video

Centeno teaches fundamental menswear styling rules covering jacket buttoning, trouser breaks, color blocking, belts, shirt tucking, pattern matching, and texture. He emphasizes that these design principles help create a more polished, balanced appearance and encourages viewers to find their personal style while understanding the reasoning behind classic menswear conventions.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that jackets should be buttoned according to their design: one-button jackets always buttoned when standing, two-button jackets only at the top button, and three-button jackets with middle and top button options
• Centeno recommends using monochromatic or low-contrast color combinations and strategic belt colors to create visual lines that can elongate the leg or torso depending on body type
• Centeno teaches that shirt tucking depends on garment design—dress shirts should always be tucked, t-shirts worn untucked, and polos can go either direction—and recommends tailoring casual pieces for a better fit
• Centeno explains that pattern formality decreases from solids to stripes to checks to larger patterns, and that matching patterns requires different scales to avoid visual confusion
• Centeno encourages viewers to try unfamiliar clothing styles and understand that discomfort from newness differs from actual discomfort, advocating for personal style discovery
