How long should my jeans be? Should I wear a belt? How short should my cropped pants be? Can I wear trousers with sneakers? Are skinny jeans still ok to wear? Should I take my pants to the tailor?

These are all common questions that people ask about various styles of pants. In today's video, I go over the most common mistakes people make when choosing pants to wear and how you can avoid these mistakes in the future.

    Thanks Harry! I've decided the problem was pants altogether and so I've decided to just go outside in underwear now! Feels much more liberating!
  • I think it's so interesting that style tips generally seen as advice for women - such as using the rule of thirds to elongate the legs - are becoming more common in men's fashion. Good stuff once again
  • @Mezelenja
    I've been using the rule of thirds ever since i got into fashion because i can't stand how most tops go past my crotch and bunches up at my waist. Tucking in shirts and folding up chunky sweater hems has been my go to for years. Always appreciated the way you seperated your top from your bottoms and your pant hem from your footwear. Goated fashion sense.
  • @ginolovesu
    Absolute class video, and by far the best explanation/visualization of the rule of thirds I've seen on youtube. Adding on to the concept of dressing to your body type, I'd love to see a video of why certain styles/aesthetics are visually pleasing as related to body proportions. The whole "short torso, long legs look good in a certain aesthetic compared to others" is something I struggle with understanding.
  • @TribeofDavis
    Thank you for explaining the rule of thirds so well. I noticed it when trying on outfits but didn’t understand it so I was going through my whole closet until I reached my look goal. Now I can save time. You are amazing
  • @elonce01
    The best tips for simple yet stylish dressing. Always keeping it simple and honest. I'm a skater, so similar to my style. My wardrobe has positively done a 180 since viewing these vids, and people have noticed! If I could afford it I would hire him as my stylist.
  • @nhddd
    you explained this really well Harry. Im defo gonna be applying this more often when Im trying something on. keep up the great work as usual💯
  • @tankbxy7609
    my response to the rule of thirds segment is that it depends on the style and body proportions of the individual. all of the casual examples you showed, i personally preferred the images on the left. but for the "smarter" fits i think the rule of thirds is more suitable, no pun intended lol.
  • @stellacloud
    Another excellent video on proportioning! I've been trying to mix and match my loose fit pants with chunkier shoes and slimmer pants with slimmer shoes and toy with sock lengths with cropped pants as well. Now that you pointed those out, I think keeping in mind proportioning pant / shoe widths help! I did want to say that one thing that's helped me a lot for finding pants that look and fit well is alterations - I've toyed with taking in at the waist, hemming the leg and narrowing the leg holes. It's just another cost/ consideration to factor in when I shop for clothes because as someone who thrifts often, turning a slightly off fit into a better one (even with just a hem alone) is a subtle but substantial upgrade.
  • @Nate-qq3bm
    i like that you choose your words carefully like using "my opinion", coz u never force ur standard to other people, and that is professional and very understanding of the differences of human.
  • @user-dg7jm4sm5d
    The rule of thirds is such a great way of explaining proportions. Thanks Harry, that’s brilliant!
  • @ben_morris
    The rule of thirds examples were so helpful! Thank you. Brilliant video
  • @armandoleyba92
    When it comes to casual outfits I found the 50:50 ones looked much better than the rule of thirds. It just felt off how small the top was compared to the pants. For suits and that style of dressing where you tuck in the shirt it makes sense. I think it's mostly personal preference and outfit dependent, instead of just saying one ratio is the be and end all.
  • @cole_etch
    The rule of thirds works for a lot of people, but in some cases, a rule of thirds just won't complement some forms. Men with wider hips (like myself) most of the time just can't use the rule of thirds without exaggerating the hips to an almost feminine hourglass degree. Using a belt is practically required for me, since most men's cut pants don't taper back around the hips nearly enough as I'd need. A little tactic I've employed personally for anyone else with my same issue, is using tall length shirts under a more regular fit top like a standard hoodie or slightly rolled up sweater, then tucking one hipside of the long undershirt into the pants underneath to get some more interesting shape play. It breaks up the boring 1/2 shape pretty well.
  • @DMorgan77
    Great video and you're 100% correct about not keeping/buying something that you don't love.
  • @yomikade1
    My solution to the problem for basically my entire life has been to simply wear shorts all the time. A great side-effect in winter is that you end up building cold tolerance or pain tolerance, because you never feel your legs.
  • Your always there when I need you! Thank you for all the amazing vids! Keep up the good work!!
  • French speaker here, your pronunciation of Timothée Chalamet was a-ok to me! Great video too, as always! :) I'm really happy to have found your channel, it helped me figure out my style and become more confident in my shopping and my appearance, so thanks a lot ❤ Keep up the great work, can't wait for the next video :)
