I will be using this video as a justification as to why I need to get a chocolate labrador.
Haha, go for it, Pedro!
😂
Nah, Airedale Terriers or Weimaraners are the way to go
Thats the cozy, feel good, autumn in the library aesthetic. It gives such a mysterius vibe that just helps you stand out in a good way
Yes I totally agree
Dark aesthetics just looks classy. A good contrast to flashy colors.
Agreed!
I can’t believe now I’m trendy. I’ve been dressing this way for many years.
You’re a trailblazer, Walter!
I've been dressing this way in fall and winter for decades. Spent many years studying engineering at University of Michigan. Now I work in the chemical industry. On the side, I tutor students aspiring to build a career in STEM. Perhaps one day this will be my full time gig. That being said, when I was a much younger man, I was often mistaken for a professor. I really liked that. Good work, your channel will inspire men of any age to rethink there style and behavior.
Being mistaken for the professor as a student is a great compliment. I think my style of dressing has helped me a lot in my career and I hope other young men can enjoy the benefits of style that go beyond just the visuals. Thank you for your comment, Scott!
As a teacher, I dress this way during Late November through early March, with a brief hiatus for seasonal colors during December. I wasn’t aware my winter wardrobe had a name. That is why I watch this channel on a semi regular basis even though I am older and fairly set in my style of dress. You are informative and present your material in a well researched and organized manner. I have learned a few things from your channel that has helped me communicate style more effectively when a student of mine broaches the topic during conversation at work. I have have noticed that more younger gentlemen are beginning to embrace classic and more traditional styles of dress. I credit channels like yours for that and want to let you know that it is good to see. I enjoy your content and look forward to watching your content develop over the coming months.
Thank you for your comment! I am so glad you feel like my channel is part of this movement in helping young men dress better. I can see that this aesthetic is absolutely perfect for a teacher during the winter and it’s no surprise your students are asking you for style tips!
I could have listened to this for an hr easily, more please, best regards
Thank you!
A chocolate lab as an accessory?? 😂
This looks like it could serve me well!
Nice fashion commentary as usual😊❤🎉💯🙏.
Thank you Sean!
lol chocolate Labrador
I wasn't familiar with this aesthetic but I like it, even though it's probably too introverted for me.
Rather than boots I'd go for oxfords or derby brogues
So the dark asthetic is basically tweed with a pair of boots. So mysterious.
Do you go to the animal shelter and swap your chocolate labrador for a yellow one during the summer months?
My chocolate lab gave me rabies. What i do now?
Dishevelled hair
I'm neigh "young" guy, so there's that what I may already KNOW some the stuff here....... EMERALD GREEN? I would think more FOREST. Many of the Dark Preppy offering stuff is bland, tho. He says Blazer when means Sport Jacket.
A fisherman knit sweater was traditionally a more working class garment than Old Money or Preppy.
Some corduroy trousers are more dressy than others. Some are basically just five pocket jeans.
Boots are more Street Style, but I'll allow a little leeway since we're not doing strictly Preppy, I guess.
Vanilla Labrador just won't do!
Yeah, Nautical is more pleasant than a wool coat in July...............
Keep it happy... or expect consequences !! 😂🎉😢😮😅😊🎉😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Calling a dog an accessory is so toxic and inappropriate, what happens to it when you decide to change style? Throw the poor dog away? It is becoming a problem in many countries where an animal is seen as a decoration, animal shelters are having a big crisis with irresponsible pet owners abandoning their dogs and to the lesser extent cats :< It's a cool, informative video, don't get me wrong, but that part is a bit iffy
I'm sure he made that comment about the chocolate labrador "tongue-in-cheek".
@@adrianwalker2833Yeah, I think it was cute and just meant as a joke! 🤭😆
