He's alright though for basic stuff for people that know nothing about dressing well and wear jeans and graphic tees every day. His style is fairly conservative and timeless and he doesn't really ever give advice that will make you look like a buffoon. If you're into even slightly more out there outfits/pieces like almost everyone on this board is then beyond the very foundational stuff theres no point in watching him.

He gives practical advice for men who may be lost fashion wise. What I like about him is he doesn't break into costumey levels of fashion like a lot of other channels. He's my favourite channel next to Ash at the Chaps Guide.

if your goal is to look plain he's fine

RMRS along with other menswear youtubers are clinging onto a fleeting sense of social acceptability

That is to say, they continue to insist that the way they dress is in some way normal.
>I'm respecting formality by wearing a suit, its everyone else who is wrong
>I might run into a wealthy executive so I wear suit to give a good impression
>Actually it's casual because it's a LOUNGE suit
etc. But the reality is that suits are antiquated, they are out of fashion and will soon be no longer required in even the most formal of situations (in many cases that is already happening)

Now don't get me wrong, I like suits, I wish everybody would wear a suit everyday, but the reality is that it's not the 1950's anymore and most people don't own a suit and never will, and they don't want to.
Rather than trying to cling onto the fashion judgements of the wider public that is rapidly abandoning them, they should instead abandon them in turn.
>Why are you wearing a suit?
>Because I like it, fuck off
You don't need a reason, you're not dressing up for some event, you're not putting on your Sunday best, you're wearing a suit because you like suits, there doesn't need to be anything more complicated to it, and you don't, or rather you can't appeal to the normies, so don't even try.

tl;dr
Unironically just be like Reviewbrah, wear the suit because you like it, don't bother trying to justify it or fit in

>>18489240
I actually think alot of these menswear youtubers will just straight up abandon the suit, but they won't even realize they've done it, because they'll delude themselves into thinking that their newer more casual styles are actually classic menswear

pic related is what they'll go for.
They'll point to the jacket and say it's just like a suit jacket, or maybe the shoes are leather so they're totally classic dress shoes, or hey look they're wearing slacks, that's classical right? They'll start dressing more and more lke this because it's socially acceptable whereas a traditional suit is not, but this is a complete abandonment of classic menswear

>>18489242
Whenever you watch their videos, they always make concessions like
>you can dress it down by wearing brogues instead of oxfords
>just take the tie off, that makes it more casual
>you can wear a fedora but ONLY for formal occasions, don't wear it anywhere else
>Don't dress up if you're planning on getting sweaty or dirty, save it for a special occasion

The end result is that you never actually just wear a normal suit.
Reviewbrah is the only dude out there who's actually wearing suits properly, that is, he wears them everyday regardless of what he's planning to do. He doesn't make an outfit of it, he isn't going anywhere, he doesn't think about it. To him, they are just his clothes. And that's how you should wear a suit, exactly the same as you would wear a tshirt and jeans, as just your clothes that you don't pay a second thought to

>>18489245

>>18489240
RMRS isn't really part of that crowd imo, he talks about wearing suits at times where it's actually still the norm to do so - work (for some people), weddings, more dressy social events etc. He has a metric fuckton of videos on casual and semi casual wear

>>18489240
Wrong, nobody looks at you twice for wearing a plain suit.

>>18489285
And what will he do when suits are no longer required for weddings, etc? Which will only be a few more years from now. He obviously enjoys suits since he's made a youtube channel about it.
>>18489289
That's because they assume you're going to a wedding, court, etc. When those things cease to exist as suit-requiring events, then you will no longer have that excuse

>>18489301
You must live in some uncivilised shithole if you confuse a casual lightweight suit for wedding attire.

>>18489304
Nobody can tell the difference. A suit is a suit to normies. It's not about the material to them, it's about the symbol. Pic related is completely indistinguishable from a fully business formal suit to normies

>>18489245
I appreciate that post and second that you shouldn't put further thought into it and just wear it. The "it's for a special occasion" mindset leads to the clothes not getting worn, and to the "oh, but I need to take care not to damage it" situation that makes people feel so stiff and uncomfortable while wearing a suit

A fun bit of trivia about the Roman toga
Originally it was just simply clothing, a means to cover the otherwise naked body. Featuring no seams, it is just a piece of cloth, about all that was possible in the early days of civilisation.

But as the world advanced, regular tunics became more and more popular and the old toga became "formal wear" which you would only wear for business, court, senate, weddings, etc.
People came to bemoan the uncomfortable nature of the toga, how heavy it was, cumbersome to hold, easy to get dirty, etc.

And eventually the toga became so formal that the only time you would ever wear it, is when you were dead, and your corpse was dressed in a toga.

>>18489309
He doesn't just wear suits to make videos, he wears them everyday, he doesn't even own other clothes

all these menswear youtubers are super insufferable
they're never entertaining, they all parrot the same points, and all their content feels like they're trying to look *above* the viewer

>>18489010 (OP)
I like his videos. His content is based on strong traditional fundamentals so the target audience is going to be guys with zero clue on how to dress. But he is a shill so watch out for that. If you already have your own sense of style, you're not going to get much from watching him.

>>18489010 (OP)
No. He's totally vague and all his opinions come from other people. I doubt if he is even human

>>18489391
>But he is a shill so watch out for that.
who does he shill

>>18489306
Maybe in a shithole like America but nobody thinks a that clown outfit with skinny chinos and mutt dress shoes is a suit.

>>18489306
Maybe in a classless peasant shithole like America but nobody in the rest of the world thinks that clown outfit with skinny chinos and mutt dress shoes is a suit. Not even in third world shitholes. Everyone knows what a proper suit looks like.

I do find that interesting, as in many was it kept happening to societal dressing until this era. For example frock coats were originally practical military wear that became semi formal town wear, inspired what would become white tie (something the upper class simply wore during the evenings), then was replaced by morning coats during the day which had equestrian origins (split tails for riding) before being finally dying out as being too formal for society anymore. Similarly, the lounge suit was country sportswear, which then became acceptable as daytime dress. Of course black tie would replace white tie, then the lounge suit would become business wear, followed more recently by the trend of dressing up at all being viewed as weird thanks to silicone valley and the pandemic. (I think tech execs being viewed as everyman while wearing $1000 Brioni and Loro Piana t-shirts is a farce but whatever)

The modern era, with the internet, social media, and ultra fast fashion is warping what is socially "acceptable" faster than ever before, and at this point clothing is a basically a free for all where what's "in" could exist for merely weeks or days. Gone are the days of the societal uniform for better or worse, but I wonder how that's going to affect dressing over the long term because even if most people aren't tiktok dressing, the UFF trends are causing a lot of damage as clothing is a race to bottom in terms of quantity over quality, and it's affected even brands that should be fashion immune like Carhartt.

On the subject of formality we're apparently at the point that tucking in a short sleeve button up shirt with a pair of chinos is now ultra formal wedding wear when that was just maybe church wear or office wear at best when growing up in the 90s. Feels like in the next decade either clothing that survives more than two washes will be formal wear worthy or the pendulum will swing the other direction and formality will be back.

>>18489240
this is a very good post and i feel the same way. these people are telling you to wear a suit because they are pandering to men and they think men should wear suits because that's what men do.
>"oh, you're trying to dress more mature, well then wear a suit"
meanwhile, no one wears suits anymore. even lawyers don't wear suits unless they're in the courtroom.

>>18490343
Even the ones who do wear suits in courtrooms, weddings, etc, the vast majority of them either do not care for the suit, or worse they do not like the suit.
In other words, they're not your allies, fashionably speaking. If given the choice, they would choose not to wear the suit, they are forced to wear it. They are not "upholding the tradition"

>>18490311
Indeed, as formality currently is, sweatpants are casual with jeans being slightly more formal, and chinos are more formal still. Many people will not wear chinos unless they are going out to meet people.
In terms of shoes, chunky running sneakers are casual but converse or classic sneakers are more formal. Chelsea boots are more formal still.
A collared shirt worn unbuttoned and untucked over a tshirt is considered more dressy than just a tshirt.

This is likely going to continue. flipflops/sandals/slides will become the default shoe with any sort of actual closed shoe being considered formal.
Pyjamas have begun to appear in supermarkets, where people simply slide out of bed, get in their car, drive to the shop, buy what they need, then get back in bed, they see no reason to actually get dressed for something so socially unimportant. In fact it has almost become a deliberate fashion choice for some. They will probably start dressing like that for more things and it may become the norm.

I don't know what causes this as opposed to the opposite where fashion styles become more formal (ie, people didn't always wear 3 piece suits, they once wore simpler clothing but at some point the styles must have increased in formality). I suspect it has something todo with the level of seriousness in society, where life is dangerous and severe, it demands a serious approach to life, and with this comes more formal ways of dressing. The classic suit is a military uniform, the peak of severity.
Clothing began to casualise immediately after WW2 ended and we entered a time of unparalleled safety and relaxation

every single city with a population over 1m, though i will give you ties had fallen out of fashion until a couple years ago but they have come back again

>>18490464
You can disprove this for yourself by visiting any and all cities on google streetview.
The only people wearing suits are those who are forced to for their job, and they likely despise it. And one in a million will be wearing it for fashion, but he will be looked at with stares by everybody walking by.

Suits are not fashionable anywhere

What hell hath been wrought upon this earth


I think looking at societal social norms we will at some point return to elaborate dress as the social elites have always looked for ways to stand out from the masses. Once pretending to dress normal while wearing clothing worth 20x as much as normal falls out of fashion we will see a new type of formal dress arise from the ashes. What what could be I can only begin to speculate but I guarantee that austerity looks brought by the cultural revolution of the will not last forever and a new golden age of clothing will be upon us at some point hopefully in our lifetimes.

>>18490508
I think we're currently entering a sort of new French Revolution esque world in terms of fashion.
That is to say, it's not fashionable to appear extremely wealthy. If you look like a billionaire, you look bad.
It's only when the aristocracy feel safe that they begin dressing in flashier ways

A dangerously stylish man doesn't have to impress because he's already impressive.

>>18490465
>>18490466
you can prove this by actually visiting any city and see most men are wearing suits. Men have been wearing some version of the suit for thousands of years and will still be wearing some version of a suit 1000 years from now. Sorry this upsets you

He'd spend all his money boating in Africans to rape your daughters and then call you a racist for suggesting there might be a problem.

It's painful and so cringe, and I post here FFS.
He just uses RMRS to sell people cheap Cologne and accessories to midwit lawyers who think polo shirts and Chinese watches are the height of fashion.

Watch his videos if you want, but don't bother going any deeper

>>18490784
you act like there isnt 9001 walking videos on youtube that you cant just look up and prove you wrong with, but sure, in your flyover, people are probably too poor and too drug addicted to own a suit so they seem strange to you

Go ahead and post one, anon. I'll wait
You won't though

Seems every menswear YouTuber is like that though so it's a matter of picking your poison. His videos are okay at least, chaps guide is better though, gentz is insufferable while trying to sell life mentorship, while Gentlemens Gazette are probably the most sartorially informative even if these days it's often an infomercial for Fort Belvedere, but I'd buy that stuff knowing Sven is a quality autist and he's selling shit to feed his menswear addiction.

I agree that the no-tie look is stupid.
It doesn't make you look more casual, it just makes you look lame, the lack of a tie is ironically more of a noose than wearing a tie.
The tie is the only decorative element of the suit, to remove it, or rather to be forced to remove it because your boss told you "No tie!" is to remove the only unique part of your outfit. Like the peasant who is forbidden to wear silk for only the king may wear silk, these people are forbidden from wearing a tie.

However, holy fuck this guy is sniffing his own farts. He looks like he's orgasming on every word he says, he's so infaturated with himself.
He speaks with authority, commanding others with his fashion advice but he doesn't defend or justify his advice. He doesn't explain WHY you should wear a tie, what it does for the aesthetic of the suit, he just demeans the viewer, calling them a child for not dressing up.

He is furthermore foolish for thinking that these "young people" will magically start wearing a suit and tie when they grow up, that's not how fashion works, the old ddues wearing ties today were wearing ties when they were young also.
If people aren't wearing a suit and tie when they're 20, they're sure as hell not going to wear one when they're 40

It's a stupid YouTube short for clicks thanks to Google prioritizing click bait TikToks over full length content. I believe it's likely clipped from one of the longer length videos and likely does go into why the tie is important. He's also only the secondary guy on the channel. I'm a fan of their "golden age" style.

Just look lean and muscular and then you can pull off whatever the fuck you want (also don't be bald because anything will come through as cope)
