 Express is a store most people probably want to shop at for street wear items You know I get that but I don't really discriminate stores and neither should you I've always shopped at express whenever I was a kid a kid As in like a few years ago, so this video is in partnership with express They are sponsoring this video and they were kind enough to give me a ton of items that I wanted So I'm gonna break down all these pickups all my opinions are my own They didn't tell me to say this is a good product This is just my opinion and my opinion only and I just thought to myself Why not step out of your comfort zone go for a more traditional menswear casual store and just see if I can style their items It pushes me creatively and I'm sure a lot of you guys are into menswear as I am myself So let's just go ahead and start it off with the two pair of denim that they sent me if you guys saw my last blazers video I incorporated these two pieces of denim and I'm just a huge fan of express is denim mainly because they have Quality grade denim. It's extra stretchy breathable and they have a ton of variety as well This one specifically is the athletic tapered slim temperature controlled denim. That's mouthful But I don't know if slim is the right description because these are more so skinny I would say well actually probably slim skinny is the better term It's not super skin tight like jeggings and all that and it's not like a traditional skinny cuts It's slightly less skinny so slim skinny is a good description and a faded black denim is something I've always wanted in my wardrobe because all my Black denim is jet black so you can see why I got bored of it But these ones are the temperature controlled ones. So these because these are black denim They are probably not meant to be worn in the summertime, but since they're the temperature controlled ones These should handle that pretty well. So these have expressed as highest level of stretch in their denim So you can see how much it stretches so it's gonna be very comfortable, but yes It's black denim so it means it's going to go with a ton of fits hitting pretty much any spectrum of fashion I wore these with the blazers and the faded look definitely compliments the classic look of the blazers I also wore these in a fit that I take my girl out in and oversized overcoat with the cable knit crewneck sweater Which I'll talk about later and trust me man. She loves this fit So yeah I'll leave a link in the description where you guys can pick up any of these items and just be transparent When you do click the link and you do make a purchase off that link I do make a tiny commission and it's no extra cost to you and that commission does go back to support in the channel So I appreciate it and thank you guys in advance if you guys do make a purchase And let's go ahead and move on to the next denim which has the same properties as a black denim It's just in a mid-wash and has a straight cut fit I'm a big fan of the medium to light wash not a fan of dark wash unless it's just black and these suit my preference There's some whiskering and a nice fade to the wash and I really dig it because it is a straight cut fit I feel it really goes well with the vintage look I try and keep it simple rocking it with some blazers a hoodie and a cap So it's pretty versatile and a nice inclusion to my wardrobe up next is this cozy Corduroy hoodie that I'm rocking right now I'm sorry There's a ton of fur on it because my corgi be jumping on me and this along with the denim is definitely my favorite Pick-up so far because this hoodie leans more into the casual street wear lane and Corduroy has been back for a long while And it's obviously here to stay and I think it's a great alternative to the traditional hoodie because you get that Corduroy so it adds a distinct look to your fit and it's pretty cozy and warm and I'm wearing a size large by the way for Sizing references and I think the more these get washed the more fading will come to it And it's going to look better over time. I wore this in a more casual street fit So I've got on straight cut cargoes a beanie and forces pretty simple fits I just focus on the color blocking and the Corduroy really provides a nice texture to the fit and throwing on a tote bag as Well completes the look and next on this list is this dark brown wool blend topcoats I got this because I was looking for more overcoats topcoats Whatever you want to call it this one is a wool blend So of course it's very warm and this one in particular does have that same Corduroy pattern It's very old-school 90s feeling with the dark brown color as well Of course, I'm gonna take inspiration from the fog 7th collection with the menswear casual cozy look So I have on a full cream underlayered fit and topping it off with the top coat I think it's a nice amount of pieces top coats are typically associated with business wear and the sweats are cozy and for lounging So they're literally contrasting activities, which is why I think a lot of people like this look for those of you guys That are gonna ask this is a size medium and it doesn't fit too slim like a suit would and it doesn't fit too oversized So there you go Then I have the medallion necklace. It's a pretty solid necklace with a nice contrast of gold and silver I am allergic to nickels so I do get rashes from wearing certain belts and such and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one There's a ton of people that do have Nickel allergies and it's kind of awkward explaining it to people but this necklace right here is nickel-free So you don't have to worry about that and this is a nice addition to my necklace collection And it definitely freshens up your fits next item up is this micro cable knit crew neck sweater Like I said my girl loves this on me because of how this is knit comes off very formal feeling So I definitely went more fitted on this one You know more for going on dates, you know family dinners and all that's very nice and casual feeling So this is a size medium by the way, and there's a lot of space in between the fabric knit So I naturally thought that this wouldn't be very breathable and cold, but no it's really warm So it's a perfect sweater for the winter time and in combination with the medallion necklace Chef's kiss second to last on this list is this wool stripper line trucker jacket So this is for sure an upscale version of the traditional work jackets I think it's the light gray wool fabric and how it's cuts that's telling me to rock it with more skinny denim and Chelsea boots But I decided to keep a casual with some sweats and vans a cream shirt and an olive cap pretty simple and casual This is a size medium as well And of course it's naturally more fitted on me and I just checked their sights and these happen to be water resistant So not too shabby roll with this one if you want a more formal upscale look to your trucker jackets And last but not least is this vegan suede duffel bag. It is vegan, but Smells like leather to me and I thought I'd try this out since all menswear fashion youtubers recommend a leather bag And I do see why they recommend it, but it's just not my taste and that's cool What I would encourage you guys to do is to stick to your gut whether you like something or not You see all the time whenever complex posts a sneaker drop and you see the comments You know the vomit emoji the trash bin and all that's don't let that influence you if you like it You like it and this one just really isn't my cup of tea But what I do like about it is I'm definitely bringing this to whenever I travel obviously it's durable It's vegan leather and I can definitely tell this is my bag if I do ever check it and there's just plenty of storage as well So yeah, I'm definitely rocking this whenever I can do that traveling stuff again And I guess these probably would look best with a trench coat a button up and some you know loafers and all that These are definitely gonna really compliment that look and those are all my pickups again There are links in the description where you guys to shop these items I'll be boy out by giving this video a thumbs up follow me on Instagram at Flava Johnny tight Thank you Express for sponsoring this video and again guys subscribe peace
