So, I got really hooked on this show called “The Gentlemen” on Netflix. Not just for the plot, you know, but the clothes were killer. I mean, seriously stylish. I thought, “Why not try and dress like that?” It seemed like a fun little project, so I dove right in.
Digging into the Style
First, I watched the show again, but this time, I was really paying attention to what everyone was wearing. I paused a lot, took some screenshots, and just tried to get a feel for the overall vibe.
- Eddie’s Look: He’s the main guy, and he’s got this classy, rich-dude-who-gets-things-done look. Lots of tailored suits, but also some cool casual stuff like bomber jackets and nice sweaters.
- Susie’s Style: She’s the boss lady, and she dresses like it. Sharp, powerful, but also kind of feminine. She wears a lot of fitted dresses, high heels, and always looks put-together.
- The Others: Then you’ve got the other characters, each with their own unique style. Some are more flashy, some are more understated, but they all have this kind of “don’t mess with me” energy.
Figuring Out My Own Version
Obviously, I’m not a millionaire drug lord, so I had to figure out how to make this work for my own life and budget. I started by looking at what I already had in my closet. I realized I had a few pieces that kind of fit the bill—a decent blazer, some dress shirts, and a pair of shoes.
Then, I made a list of the key items I was missing. This was the fun part. I wanted to find pieces that looked like they could be in the show, but were also practical for my everyday life. I didn’t want to look like I was wearing a costume, you know?
Shopping Around, Trying Stuff On
Next, I started hitting up some stores. I checked out some nicer department stores, but also some more affordable places. I even looked at some online shops. The goal wasn’t to spend a ton of money, but to find good quality pieces that would last and give me that “Gentlemen” vibe.
Trying stuff on was key. I learned that fit is super important. Something that looks great on the hanger might not work on me. I tried to be patient and find pieces that really fit well and made me feel confident.
Putting It All Together
Once I had a few new pieces, I started experimenting with different outfits. I mixed and matched the new stuff with what I already had, trying to channel the characters from the show. It was kind of like playing dress-up, but in a grown-up way.
I also paid attention to the details. Things like a nice watch, a good belt, and even the way you carry yourself can make a big difference. I tried to stand up straighter, walk with more purpose, and just generally project more confidence.
The End Result?
It’s been a fun experiment, and I’m actually really happy with how it’s turned out. I feel like I’ve upgraded my style, and I’ve gotten a few compliments too. It’s not about trying to be someone I’m not, but about taking inspiration from something I admire and making it my own. It also makes me more confident in my daily life. Maybe you can try it too!
