10 Things Elegant Men NEVER Wear (Buy THIS Instead!)

About this video

Centeno identifies common menswear mistakes and explains when certain items are appropriate versus overused. He covers what to avoid—like smartwatches with suits, running sole dress shoes, flip-flops, and outdated trends—and recommends alternatives such as mechanical watches, proper dress shoes, and sandals. He also emphasizes wearing classic, timeless pieces in neutral colors rather than chasing fashion trends.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that items like smartwatches, performance pants, baseball caps, and quarter-zips are casual and should not be worn when dressing up in suits or formal attire
• Centeno recommends investing in timeless basics—mechanical watches, proper dress shoes, dress slacks, and classic suit cuts in navy and charcoal—over trendy pieces that quickly become dated
• Centeno advises wearing undershirts with dress shirts, matching sock color to trousers, and ensuring proportions between lapel width and necktie width for a polished appearance
• Centeno recommends Anson Belt and Buckle’s micro-adjust belt system for proper fit and their interchangeable buckle-and-strap combinations for versatile wardrobe building
