  • - Dario, Dario, Dario, let's talk about this.

  • Let's talk about...

  • I'm gonna retrieve that later.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Hi, my name is Dario Smith.

  • I am a men's personal stylist.

  • - I was just asked to describe my style

  • and I don't think I have a good descriptor.

  • Uh, Target.

  • - Keith dresses like if Lurch from the Addams Family

  • got lost in Old Navy.

  • - Keith has like four blue button downs,

  • that he wears constantly.

  • Like Doug Funny's closet, you open it up

  • and it's just the same shirt.

  • - I like blue squares so like,

  • lots of little blue squares.

  • A few big blue squares.

  • Really big into blue squares.

  • - He almost looks like one big swatch of blue.

  • Blue shoes, blue jeans, blue button down.

  • - Keith also always wears the same shoes.

  • It's like every day, same blue shoes.

  • - Having clothes for different things

  • was never something that I did.

  • I slept in the clothes that I wore that day.

  • That's just how I grew up.

  • - I think I have a pretty good fashion sense.

  • It's getting better.

  • - Zach, is a little like an old cat lady

  • trapped in a teenage boys body.

  • - Half the time I look at him, I'm like,

  • "How's this appropriate clothes for the workplace?"

  • - I like to allow at least one item in what I'm wearing,

  • express a sense of colorful personality.

  • - Even though I love his undershirts,

  • I don't think it's necessarily the sexiest thing

  • you can wear when you're a single guy at a bar.

  • - [Zach] One thing I think I struggle with is,

  • how to mix and match.

  • - Zach is little all over the place.

  • Sometimes he looks really cool.

  • Sometimes he looks like a child.

  • - I basically just allow the women in my life

  • to dress me.

  • - I've never had a stylist.

  • Basically I've had the same haircut.

  • Same kind of style my entire life.

  • - Ned's fashion is Steve Carrell,

  • in the 40 Year Old Virgin.

  • - He's preppy, casual, white guy.

  • - I typically like to keep things conservative.

  • - I think he likes to have a level of professionalism.

  • So, he's very muted.

  • - I wear Polo shirts almost every day.

  • But I guess that's not good enough.

  • - I feel like Ned is very close to looking like

  • a dad before he becomes a dad.

  • - I get uncomfortable if I wear super flashy

  • or edgy things because I'm like,

  • "Who does that?"

  • Well, Eugene does that.

  • - I like to think that I take risks.

  • Overall I would say I'm a conscientious dresser.

  • - Eugene has a great sense of how to marry his

  • personality into different styles.

  • - Future sex space ninja.

  • What does Eugene not wear?

  • - He wears everything from sweatpants

  • to a full on suit.

  • - We'll talk about what we're wearing

  • and we all agree on a casual look

  • and he shows up in a fucking suit.

  • - If Eugene was a Spice Girl, he'd be Posh.

  • - I'm just excited to see what part of my

  • personality I have yet to explore,

  • through wardrobe.

  • - I first start with a consultation.

  • What would you like your clothes to convey about you?

  • - Oh man.

  • Is that the question you're answering when you put

  • on clothes in the morning?

  • - Yes.

  • - That I have my shit together.

  • The opposite of a hot mess.

  • - That I have a sense of adventure.

  • - That I'm nice, funny, personable.

  • But also simple.

  • - I would love for people to think that I'm cool

  • based on the way I dress.

  • - Who would you say is your style icon?

  • - (exhales deeply) I don't know.

  • I have so many.

  • - (exhales deeply) Yeah.

  • - David Bowie.

  • - Oh gosh.

  • - Will Smith from Fresh Prince.

  • - (stammers) I can't think, I don't know.

  • - My mom.

  • - Or the first person that comes to your mind

  • when you think of a well dressed guy.

  • - Eugene. (laughter)

  • - What would you consider an insecurity of yours

  • when shopping?

  • - Have to look at the sizes and then look at the style.

  • Rather than look at the style

  • and then find one in my size.

  • So, I feel like beat down by shopping.

  • - Honestly, I think a lot of it just comes down to

  • confidence and I'm put together and I'm fine

  • but I don't think that my outfit is sexy.

  • - The first thing people saw when I was growing up

  • was Asian.

  • There were a lot of negative stereotypes.

  • What my mother could control about how people perceived us

  • was through fashion.

  • - My biggest insecurity is that I don't like wearing

  • things that are outside the box too much.

  • Honestly, Dario most of the items in my closet I don't like.

  • - How about we go look at your closet now then?

  • - How 'bout it?

  • - [Dario] We then go through a closet purge.

  • - So, you wanna see my closet?

  • - Yeah, let's see what we got here.

  • - These are all of my clothes

  • but these are the ones that I wear exclusively.

  • - The bulk of what I wear, day to day,

  • is this.

  • It all matches. (laughs)

  • - I would love to see what you consider pieces

  • that you've purchased that you've yet to wear.

  • - Oh, wow.

  • - Is the shit that you throw up here,

  • shit that you wear?

  • - No, never.

  • - I sometimes wear that one.

  • Damn it Dario!

  • This is not fun!

  • - Let's see your sock collection.

  • So, we're gonna take all of your white socks

  • and dispose.

  • - What, what?

  • - We do have a video from your fiancee.

  • - I would love for Keith to get more of a professional

  • looking everyday outfit.

  • He'll have a button down that he really likes

  • but then the has a super old belt.

  • And dirty gym shoes.

  • - You can definitely have a few more options

  • that help these colors pop.

  • So, you're not so blue all the time.

  • - And I want him to think he looks cute.

  • Because I think he is.

  • - I think you're a really fun guy.

  • I think your clothes don't quite portray that yet.

  • - If I find a shirt that I like, I just buy two of them.

  • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

  • - When we go out, he'll wear like a blazer

  • but I have to really encourage him to wear a blazer.

  • - Let's move to your suiting.

  • - My favorite suit, this dark blue one.

  • Matched with this pink shirt.

  • - He doesn't go shopping

  • and he just needs more clothing,

  • so that your suits don't feel like a really special thing.

  • - Do you ever add a pocket square to this outfit?

  • - No. No.

  • I almost laughed out loud when you said

  • pocket square.

  • - I just think a lot of the time I just end up

  • going back to what I know works.

  • I mean today is a classic example.

  • I didn't want to think about my outfit.

  • - Do you feel like you sometimes

  • just throw things together?

  • - By your tone, I think you think I do. (laughter)

  • - Why does your outfit now work?

  • - Fuck Dario, that's a good question.

  • All right, so my basic is just like,

  • making sure things don't clash.

  • - What would be your version of clashing?

  • - The outfit you told me that worked.

  • - That would be clashing?

  • Why would that be clashing?

  • - These are both kind of red.

  • - Do you think your hat clashes with your outfit?

  • - No.

  • - Why?

  • - Because I think that...

  • - I think you have a lot of great options.

  • It's just a matter of pairing those to where

  • they're most effective.

  • To helping get dressed a little faster

  • and a little easier in the morning,

  • is having a bit of rhyme and reason

  • to your wardrobe.

  • - Yeah, this drawer's a nightmare.

  • It takes me forever to find a matching sock.

  • - Here I have the underwear.

  • Here I have ankle socks.

  • Here I have workout socks.

  • And over here are all my dress socks.

  • There are definitely items I've bought

  • that I don't wear often

  • because I'm maybe a little self conscious

  • about it being too, editorial looking.

  • A lot of people, maybe have had the fortune,

  • of kind of going through life not necessarily thinking

  • about how they look.

  • So, every choice I make with clothes has led to this point

  • of seeming like a confident person.

  • - Your confidence is pretty much what sells your outfit.

  • Your outfit doesn't sell your confidence.

  • - I'm ready though, to see how I look like

  • in something that's not safely fashionable.

  • - Something more avant garde

  • and a little bit more androgynous.

  • - Yeah, that would be totally new to me.

  • - So, I think we've thrown out about half

  • of your closet now.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I would say we start shopping.

  • Don't worry you're in my hands.

  • I promise I'll take care of you.

  • - Okay. - [Dario] Pinky swear.

  • - Pinky swear.

  • I love it.

  • - From the closet purge and consultation,

  • I was able to develop a look

  • that I felt they were confident in.

  • But a more stylish version of themselves.

  • Fashion is an art form.

  • Dealing with apparel, your style,

  • is how you marry that fashion

  • with your personality.

  • (men cheer)

  • - Look at that dapper man.

  • He looks like more powerful when he walks.

  • - [Ned] Keith never wears sweaters.

  • - [Zach] Where did these shoes come from?

  • Those socks are not white.

  • - I'd let you marry my daughter.

  • - I love that jacket.

  • - [Eugene] That suit jacket is basically his shirt elevated.

  • - [Zach] Yeah. - [Ned] That's right.

  • - He actually looks like a host now.

  • - [Ned] Bob Barker me all over.

  • - [Eugene] He looks like a Ken doll.

  • - I'd dress you up and put you in my dream house.

  • - Okay. - [Eugene] Yeah.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - What!?

  • (men cheer and laugh)

  • Damn Zach!

  • - [Keith] It's all he's ever dreamed of.

  • - I want these clothes.

  • He doesn't look single as fuck,

  • he looks hot as fuck!

  • - [Eugene] I've never seen Zach look that hard.

  • - [Ned] Like I'm a little intimidated.

  • - Oh yeah, I wouldn't talk to him.

  • He's too cool for me. (laughs)

  • - He's too cool for me.

  • - [Eugene] I've never see Zach in anything

  • but the same glasses.

  • - [Ned] He's the bad boy.

  • - [Eugene and Keith] He's the bad boy!

  • - I'm the bad boy?!

  • - [Men] You're the bad boy!

  • - Look at him.

  • - Don't hop, no.

  • - [All] Yeah!

  • Hard hard hard I ball hard in this mother

  • ♫ I ball, I ball, I ball hard

  • What's up, what's happenin' ♫

  • - Whoa, that tie!

  • Oh, that tie's beautiful!

  • - I love the little touches of red

  • and the pocket square it's really vibrant.

  • Now he looks like an Edward.

  • - Yeah.

  • - [Eugene] Before Ned looked like he was on a boat

  • but now he owns the boat.

  • - [Zach] He owns the entire fucking marina.

  • - This feels like something he could wear to work for sure.

  • - Sorry ladies, he's taken.

  • It is worth pointing out,

  • you should kind of dress like Eugene.

  • - Actually, I think he's dressed better than me.

  • (upbeat music)

  • (men cheer)

  • - [Zach] I'm confused but it's working on me.

  • - [Ned] Is that a lady's skirt?

  • - [Zach] It's just a skirt.

  • - [Ned] Well, now it's a men's skirt.

  • - This is like how we're all gonna be dressing

  • a hundred years from now.

  • I'm not there yet.

  • - [Keith] But I'll be honest,

  • it's not a stretch in my imagination

  • to see Eugene wearing this.

  • - You're saying this isn't avant garde enough?

  • - This is not avant garde enough for Eugene.

  • We can go harder.

  • - Let's go harder!

  • (trance music)

  • (men cheer)

  • - This is awesome!

  • Oh wow!

  • - Yes, slay!

  • - [Zach] You look like an anime character.

  • - Like a future western detective.

  • - [Zach] I've never seen you attempt something like this.

  • - [Keith] There's a whole sheep on this man,

  • look at that coat.

  • - It takes so much confidence to be able to pull that off.

  • He exhibits a power.

  • - Clothes almost became therapy for us.

  • I was a little bit afraid of what I would

  • end up looking like.

  • What a hot nerd.

  • It's like dapper but it's totally still casual.

  • - The shoes that Keith is wearing, he actually

  • already owned.

  • Which looks really good on him.

  • - You own these?!

  • - Why don't you wear them more often?

  • - Because they outclassed all of my other clothes.

  • Apparently I already have enough clothes

  • to make a good outfit in my closet.

  • I just didn't know how to piece them together.

  • Guys, I think I want better socks.

  • (men cheer)

  • I want better socks.

  • After seeing this, I'm much more inclined

  • to try to look like this all the time.

  • Because it's looks really good

  • and it really isn't that much more difficult.

  • - Look at the new you.

  • - Fuck!

  • I feel way cooler and sexier.

  • - As in, I'd fuck me!

  • - Yeah.

  • I'm miserable thinking about having

  • to dress myself tomorrow.

  • Would a Snoopy watch go well?

  • Or would it ruin the whole thing?

  • - Coco Chanel quote,

  • "Before you leave the house,

  • "take one thing off."

  • - This is the first time I've seen you wear your Yeezy's

  • and they actually match your whole outfit.

  • - I don't, what are, why are...

  • What are Yeezy's?

  • - Now my personality is the quirk.

  • As opposed to wearing the quirk.

  • It's amazing to me how clothes can change

  • the way people perceive you so dramatically.

  • - Look how stylish I am.

  • Hi, my name's Edward.

  • Man, I need to join the sales team!

  • (men laugh)

  • Look at this, I'm wearing a pocket square.

  • But I love it.

  • I am a guy that's really on top of my shit

  • and so my wardrobe should reflect that.

  • - Ned, had actually been buying the wrong size suit.

  • - I had been buying things too big for years.

  • Made my butt look good.

  • (men agree)

  • - I want to get married to you now.

  • - Oh well...

  • My wife would think I look freaking hot right now.

  • It was tough at first to become critical of my style

  • but I feel like I've emerged,

  • looking like the best version of myself.

  • - Ohh my God!

  • Whoa!

  • I feel great!

  • I feel like it's invigorating this side of me

  • which is really creative.

  • Really weird.

  • What even is this?

  • - That is actually a jumpsuit,

  • zipped up halfway and then tied around your waist.

  • - You look like a deleted scene from cowboy bee bop.

  • - That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

  • - You're welcome.

  • - I think I went into this being complacent.

  • You have to keep challenging yourself

  • and seeing how parts of your personal growth

  • are reflected through your style growth.

  • I just turned and I almost for a second

  • didn't recognize my friends.

  • Everyone here now looks like fashion models.

  • (upbeat music)

- Dario, Dario, Dario, let's talk about this.
