How to Dress Like the 1% Man (Mastering Outfits, Fabrics, and Quiet Luxury Brands)

About this video

Centeno presents outfit combinations for various occasions—from casual business meetings to formal presentations and weekend outings—and explains the styling principles behind each. He then educates viewers on classic menswear garments like Oxford shirts, polos, and dress shoes (Balmorals, bluchers, brogues, and loafers), detailing their construction and versatility. Finally, he categorizes major menswear brands as either ‘old money’ or ‘quiet luxury’ based on their design philosophy and heritage.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that contrast in formal wear creates a more polished look, and he recommends navy suits for men over 25 and charcoal gray for those under 25
  • Centeno teaches that shirt collar choice matters: point collars pair with neckties, while spread collars and button-down collars work better without ties
  • Centeno contends that shoe construction details—closed versus open lacing systems—signal formality levels, with Oxfords being dressier than bluchers
  • Centeno classifies brands like Brooks Brothers, Allen Edmonds, and Church’s as ‘old money’ style, while Tom Ford and Common Projects represent ‘quiet luxury’
