Based on comments that come in from time to time, it occurred to me that some of you might have the wrong idea about how I dress. I mean, yes, I love wearing suits and business casual outfits--and certainly post a lot of that on the channel--but for the day-to-day that's not really what I wear? So what DO I wear every day? Today, I'm sharing five of my go-to winter casual outfits in a "what I really wear in a week" video. Enjoy!
You know, I think some of you might have the wrong idea
about me, specifically about how I dress.
Now, I know that on the channel,
I do a lot of videos about suits
and more dressed up styles, like a lot of videos,
but you know what?
I don't actually wear those things every single day.
Well, that brings up a lot of questions, right?
Like, why do I have all these clothes?
The reason is that I like them.
They make me feel good.
They are my personal style,
and I wear them whenever I have an opportunity to.
I choose to wear clothes like that,
but that's not every single day.
You know, it'd be kind of weird if I was out in the yard
with the dog, in a tuxedo.
So that's why today, I wanted to put together this video
and show you five of my everyday outfits.
I'm Brian Sacawa, and you're watching He Spoke Style.
On this channel, I teach you the principles of dressing well
and give you the tools and inspiration you need
to develop your personal style.
So what I'm gonna do is, for each outfit,
I'm gonna show you each individual piece,
and then we'll put it together
so you can see the outfit as a whole.
And I'll put links to everything that is available
down below in the description,
and in the event that the exact item isn't available,
I will do my best to link to something similar.
Here we go.
For look number one, I've got a lavenum quilted jacket.
It's a classic, great sort of light
to mid-weight piece of outerwear.
Next, a buffalo plaid flannel shirt.
This is by Uniqlo.
Great pattern and color for the season.
Jeans are by Double RL.
Oatmeal colored wool knit hat by Drake's.
And then for footwear,
I've got some Bostonian oxblood leather boots.
When you put it together, you've got an outfit
that is kind of outdoorsy, rugged,
very much sort of what I've been feeling
in our new environment, living out here in the woods.
All these pieces I have had for no less than three years.
I think the least old piece in this outfit is the shirt.
Just goes to show you that if you fill your wardrobe
with great basics, they will always look good.
Look number two starts off
with this Todd Snyder for L.L.Bean Sherpa jacket.
I freaking love this piece.
The Todd Snyder L.L.Bean stuff is amazing.
Unfortunately, this particular shirt jacket is sold out.
However, there is an even cooler version,
I would say, available now
that is a kind of really big black, gray, and tan check.
Let me tell you, if I didn't already have this one,
I would totally have that one.
Next, just a simple baseball shirt,
which is actually over 10 years old.
Light wash jeans, J.Crew, 484 fit.
A wool baseball cap, which is by Express.
And then a pair of L.L.Bean Camp Mocs,
which are pretty much my everyday shoes these days.
So this really is the go outside,
play with the dog in the yard look.
It's definitely been getting much colder lately,
and this shirt jacket is just so warm,
not to mention ridiculously comfortable.
So a lot of what I wear on a day-to-day basis
is just really functional.
I know I can just grab the shirt jacket
and I'll be warm.
The Camp Mocs are just so easy to slip on and off.
I mean, this is just like
such a classic fall winter casual outfit for me.
So you've probably noticed
a couple of L.L.Bean items in this video,
and if you follow the channel for a while,
I think this is the first time
that I've ever worn pieces by L.L.Bean on the channel.
So this is 100% not sponsored by L.L.Bean,
but I have really been loving the brand recently,
and I've kind of rediscovered them for myself.
Comfortable, casual, classic, stylish,
really fits the bill for how my personal style
has been evolving over the years.
So for this next look,
just kind of a variation on the last one,
and all I've really done
is to swap out the Sherpa shirt jacket
for this fleece-lined flannel shirt.
So this is a size medium.
They call it slightly fitted.
I think it fits great in the shoulders,
though perhaps just a little baggy around the body
for my taste, but I do only have a T-shirt on underneath,
so there's definitely room to layer in a thicker sweater
if I wanted to wear this if it was cooler out.
Again, just a really easy outfit to throw on
for some yard work, splitting wood, or playing with the dog.
For this next look, this is an indoor outfit.
I've got a cable-knit cashmere cardigan by Gobi Cashmere.
Great brand, great product, great prices.
Definitely check them out if you're in the market
for some high-quality yet affordable cashmere pieces.
Then, a plaid flannel from J.Crew Factory.
Same J.Crew Light Wash 484 jeans
you've seen in the last two looks.
And my favorite shoes to wear around the house
for the season, these are wool black watch plaid loafers
by Belgian Shoes.
I'm definitely one of those people
who struggles to find outfits to wear
just around the house that aren't too dressy,
but then again, aren't just super sloppy
like T-shirt and sweatpants.
This is pretty much my go-to
when it comes to an in-between at-home outfit.
The plaid flannel is super comfortable.
The cardigan gives you that blazer feel,
but it's much more cozy, definitely more casual.
Yeah, so just super easy to throw on, feel good,
and feel like I'm actually put together,
but not too much when I'm at home.
Look number five is super sporty.
We have a Lululemon jacket, a Lululemon shirt,
some Lululemon ABC joggers,
and two other pieces for this outfit,
simple white baseball hat by Wilbur Ken
and white leather sneakers by Common Projects.
So yeah, pretty simple, very sporty.
And just let me say that I would have never
considered myself an athleisure kind of guy,
but the Lululemon stuff, although admittedly
is definitely a bit on the pricier side,
it's just so comfortable, it fits so well,
so I am definitely a fan.
I do have another pair of these joggers,
which are the cropped shorter version.
The ones I'm wearing are the regular.
Wasn't sure I was gonna like the regular length as much,
but I definitely do.
So for those of you who have been wondering
what I wear on a daily basis, these five outfits are that.
It's all about comfort, practicality, utility,
and of course, I always try to pick things
that have a little bit of style as well.
