I wear cargo pants and plain T shirt 95% of the time when not at work. My fashion knowledge is almost zero, it is just enough to know that sagging pants exposing underwear and the Sperry & Polo fashions were started in prison in order to signal other men that you are down for anal sex.


Where can an American male learn this stuff? Are there any good youtube channels that discuss the very basics of fashion and different clothing categories etc?

Thanks for your help. Lots of miscers will benefit from this.

Sounds like you're doing fine to me, they also make cargo shorts for when it's hot

bump for help.

Ten Wardrobe Must-Haves
Your personal wardrobe should always be evolving. The general rule is that you should throw out, or donate to charity, anything you haven’t worn in the last two years. The key is downsizing. Lose the frumpy, sentimental stuff, and change with the times. Keep the T-shirt you love, but lose the reindeer sweater your mother bought you back when you were tragic. In the final analysis, the perfect male wardrobe is infinitely - and thankfully - less complicated than the female wardrobe. Obviously, you need to find what works for you, but here are ten elements that you really shouldn’t be without:
- Three black T-shirts, three new white T-shirts
- Two different pairs of flattering jeans
- One dark suit
- One leather or suede short coat (not a bomber jacket)
- Two rollneck or crewneck cable-knit sweaters
- Two pairs of dark, straight-leg, nonpleated pants
- Three well-cut, solid-color, button-down shirts (one white)
- Quality sunglasses
- One expensive watch, one sports watch
- Flattering underwear
Fashion Don’ts for the Metrosexual Man:
Before you create your new self, you may want to review the following list of unforgivable crimes:
- Varsity jackets
- White shoes
- Colorful vests
- Christmas sweaters
- Bolo ties
- Pleated or cuffed jeans
- Acid-washed anything
- Mesh anything
- Cropped pants
- Boots with shorts
- Gym shorts with shoes
Do’s and Don’ts...
* Pirate shirts, loud patterns, buckles, and zippers are for circus performers and boy bands.
* Pleated pants are history. Slim-fit, straight-leg pants make you look longer and sharper.
* Your clothes should conform to your body. Spend the extra money and have suits tailored.
* Your belt and your shoes should always match, and black on black works best.
* A silver, stainless steel watchband will go with everything. Leather bands should be strong and masculine, and sport watches are for sporting occasions.
* High school or college rings are best kept in the dresser drawer until the reunion is announced.
* A slim billfold or money clip is important, as a bulging wallet will only produce unsightly lumps in all the wrong places.
