Brian: I’m Brian of Be Better Guys.com, A guys guide to getting a life. We’re
talking about the fundamentals of a man to wardrobe specifically speaking
about pants right now. Pants and belt actually. The big thing about pants
nowadays is that guys are now wearing flat front pants much more than
more flattering Dave’s got on here.
Here you can see so much more look and now when you buy a suit
frequently still you’re going to have a pleated pants, they still work
particularly if you have a little bit more loving around the middle. It still a
wonderful option but definitely for younger guys you want to get more flat
front pants.
You also want to think about the types of pants you need for your day-to-
day. You’re going to need four to six pair to wear for work occasions.
You’re not always going to wear a suit to work and some people don’t
wear suits at all to work. So you want four to six pair pants. You want a
wool, medium-weight worsted wool that will take you most of the year but
then you want things you’re going to be specific also to the time of the
year.
Heavier weight wools for the winter, cotton, khakis, linen pants for the
summers and warmer months. We’re going to talk about a couple of
different types of pants right now in those lines we have a pair of khakis
right here, light weight, great, the color this color is perfect for jackets, it’s
perfect for summer wear, polo shirts, blue shirts look fantastic.
We have a check here which is a nice summer look actually, summer and
spring look adds a little color adds a little pop actually to your wardrobe
without getting too terribly far out there. Then we’re going to look here at
traditional gray worsted wool. This pant will go with almost everything in
a guy’s wardrobe for his work life so these are the sort of things you want
to look at when you’re talking about pants for work.
Now with casual wear, you have a little bit more range. You have a course
jeans and jeans have been very popular the last several years. You can buy
jeans from everybody from Levis to Dolce Gabbana and you can spend
anything from $30 to $300 on paired jeans.
The big thing about jeans is you want to make sure that jeans like any pair
of pants fit you. Obviously, no one can buy a pair of pleated jeans but if
you look at these here. It’s a very solid jean, it had good design on the
pocket it’s dark you want a darker color jean as opposed to lighter jean
because then you can use the jeans when you go in out at night. They’re
going to last you a bit longer. This is a good looking jean.
In addition to casual pants for guys, we’ll talk about corduroys. We have a
pair right here, a pair of black ones and look really nice. Corduroy is great
for the fall, winter, it’s a good look and then you can go when you get to
spring and summer you mentioned the khakis. You can go with linen pants
and you want to have at least four or five pair of those as well for the
warmer months.
Now if you want any pants you need to have a belt. So the belt you match
your shoes. We have a couple of examples of belts here, this is a great
looking casual belt a little brownish black leather, solid buckle looks great,
here’s a more dressy belt and when we talk about dress belts if you have,
if you wear suits, if you wear things for work you want to have a belt like
this and brown and in black.
You want to have at least a brown and black belt and then you’re probably
going to have one other belt for with none work hours something like this
would be great. Dave’s got on a great distress brown looking a brown
leather belt here that will be fantastic as well for after work hours and we
have a couple of other examples of belts for guys to think about.
Next we’ll be talking to you about outerwear.
