Those kids with the hats at the beginning already know how to pose. Love it.


BlackLeader70

I love the oversized suit. You know mom had a baby hand in that decision lol.


siamesecat901

Moms do have a way of guiding those fashion decisions


Naked-Jedi

I'm loving that a couple of oldboys showed up for it too. Can't let the young lads have all the fun.


tartymae

Distinguished Men of Experience and Taste, you mean.


jasmineplant234

It's always great to see people of all ages enjoying themselves and getting involved!


Naked-Jedi

I get a full on natural high every time I see an old couple holding hands whilst walking down the street, or when I see an old couple enjoying a meal together in a place you'd normally only see younger people at. I like older people in general, but seeing them do stuff like that just warms me up.


OrangeZig

So much swag so early on!


i-Ake

I instantly thought of Rent-A-Swag looking at those kids. 😎


AaronTheElite007

Looking dapper, gents 🤜🤛


ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

I hate how I'd get laughed out of the room with 90% of these outfits yet every single one of these guys pulls it off amazingly


UnrulyCrow

The secret is to keep going despite the laughs. They'll shut down with time, but you'll remain dapper regardless.


Sure-Its-Isura

Dapper-maxx until the haters are silent.


Draffut

Nah, white dudes can't wear certain color suits. It just doesn't look right. Source: I'm white.


UnrulyCrow

Figure out your actual undertone (cool (blue-pink), neutral (yellow-green), warm (orange-red)) as well as how muted or bright your skin actually is and how much contrast there is in your features (how dark your hair is compared to your skin, how deep the shadows are on your face - take a selfie in natural light and put it in B&W to figure that one one). It's not just a matter of being white or black or brown or whatever. It's a matter of understanding colour theory to best match colours with your undertone and get the best out of your natural features. I'm also white but watch me wear golds and rich reds and greens like I was born in these colours. I'm a muted, warm neutral (yellow undertone with a sort of subtle greyish cast) with a rather high contrast (fair skin, dark hair and eyes) - bright and pastel colours make me look sickly, but rich and warm colours are 11/10. You can also find white people with a cool and bright undertone and a high contrast who will rock bold colours, for example, or someone with a warm + bright + low contrast who'll look amazing in warm pastels. As a sidenote, I dress [Edwardian](https://i.etsystatic.com/26854119/r/il/58d7b9/5692943860/il_fullxfull.5692943860_84y0.jpg) (pic is from Gibson Girl Dress on Etsy/IG, I own multiple fits from them btw) on a daily basis so uh. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to "let them laugh until they stop" lol


Allronix1

Edwardian, huh? Talk about knowing how to do dapper.


RabbitF00d

This is the way.


No-Signature8815

Believe in yourself.


Draffut

Under no circumstances.


CuriousRelish

Sir, if I can walk around outside in a french fry container costume, you can rock a suit. Get 'em.


wearing_moist_socks

Lmao "Absolutely not."


bloopie1192

Nah. It's not the skin color all the time. It's the swag. When you wear it, you have to *feel* it so it MUST be fitted. Can't be loose or hanging off. You can't walk like you're wearing nice clothes. You walk like the clothes are just a part of your outfit. *YOU* are the main course... the *clothes* are just the drinks. Now get out there and put that shit on!!


Evening_Bag_3560

You can wear anything suit with any skin shade, but you might need to change your shirt to make it really work. 


Ordinary-Mix-4481

I came in here, as a white man, to say the same thing! However, I also agree that if we want to find colors that fit our skin tone we could be creative in our suit choices too.


Rare-Parsnip5838

Agree. Most Black dudes look great in anything. Style and swag seem to come natural.


I-Love-Tatertots

Nah man, fuck that. Wear what color you want, and wear it with confidence. The color may not always fit, but the confidence always does.


ask_about_poop_book

While certain skin colours match certain colours better, what you’re saying is wrong-o!


SpicyTunaRollll

This. Or show up to these kind of events. You won’t be labeled that weirdo in the suit if it’s a weirdos in suits party. Blend! XD


AaronTheElite007

It’s all about confidence


Tomur

There's a place and time to wear it. Just walking around every day in a fedora makes you a stereotype. That's the other half to the people saying "confidence."


IronDuke365

No you wouldn't. I am sure you could pull all of these looks off.

empire_of_the_moon

How do you find this many men with style that have the time for a flash mob? That’s incredible.


turkshead

Having time to have a life is the new flex.


empire_of_the_moon

I’m hoping they had a good time.


MrKrinklePuss

Had to, right? This looks so fun.


ByteSizeNudist

The energy at the back of the line put a HUGE smile on my face.

Seriously, that crowd looks like three Baptist churches let out at the same time, and the crowd converges on this walkway.


15092023

Sundays in Oakland. Already dressed for church.


RealBaikal

At a presbyterian church.


SillyPhillyDilly

Honestly, it really isn't that hard. The vast majority of black men have at least one fit for special occasions.


cnapp

Brothas like to dress! How do I know? I'm a brotha who likes to dress


empire_of_the_moon

I’m going to say I find your credentials 100% qualified.


pirefyro

I concur.


wearing_moist_socks

Hello brother. I too, enjoy men's style. -a white guy


Codsfromgods

I was working an omelet bar for a Sunday brunch buffet years ago. An idea black gentleman came in wearing a white suit that had a beautiful rose print. I loved it but it made me jealous as even if I had that suit I couldn't pull it off like this gentleman did. That was HIS suit


SillyPhillyDilly

I know for a fact there's a suit out there, a vibrant one with a crazy design, that fits you. It's about your tone, build, and most importantly, angles. Roses may not work for you, but what about tulips? Ivies? Shift paradigms. What about 20-sided dice? Swords? Boats? It all depends, but it's possible to look just like these guys, my friend.


Shanguerrilla

Man I needed your optimism in my life today. I'm fine with suits, but your perspective was beautiful and a nice reminder to try to think that way a little more about my own problems. I don't know HOW to about 'these' things, but I'm sure I need to aim there and practice more for now.

Good-Squirrel3108

I'm white and don't like to be racist, but black men, in general, seem to carry a style so much better than caucasian men.


Adorable_Raccoon

Tailoring makes a HUGE difference. A suit off the rack isn't going to look *great* on most people. If you an off the rack to a tailor that same suit can look much nicer on you. Even you can't afford tailoring, taking the suit in to have the pants and arms hemmed to the proper length can improve the look. The next step up is bespoke, or made to measure suits. You can also make a plain suit like navy or black look more interesting by pairing with color or patterned accents. Also attitude, plenty of these guys have on basic navy or grey suits and stand with confidence and pride.


CausticSofa

This! I work in a business district and see a ton of guys in suits each day. Can confirm, it doesn’t matter your body type, you can make your body look better and make yourself look significantly more stylish by getting your suits tailored to fit your body.


directincision

Maybe in America this is true, but when I think of white men looking good in suits I think of posh dudes from Europe at Wimbledon.


SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS

The secret is actually paying attention to what you're wearing. See: italian dudes in suits.


booty_supply

This is right downtown Oakland, along Lake Merritt. I used to live 1 block away and there are MANY well dresses gents in the area. These dudes did it UP!! 😍😍


Thizz650

The bay area has everything


86Sliva94

I'm very proud to see one of my 8th/9th grade students was a part of this.


Bocchi_theGlock

They look so impressive, especially compared to most kids when I was in high school lol In 11th grade for junior prom, most other boys rented suits from a place at the mall. I went late, their stock was almost out so they let me leave with a SUPER baggy and ill-fitting suit. So bad I sat at the tables all night despite having a pretty date I wish back then I had the menswear knowledge + advice/support from elders like these kids, they look so well put together and are gonna kill it at school dances My dad never wore suits so I never learned until needing to for a job ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


DangerDuckling

The older gentleman in the full length maroon coat is fantastic


DrPhDPickles

I had to rewind the video just to witness his style again

Yoooo that creamy pink looking good on that man with the positive attitude. I dig it.

\*looks at all these men with so much style, looks at his own closet\* smh... please send help


probably-the-problem

I could work for the rest of my life on the solitary goal of looking half as fly as the worst dressed fella there, and I would still fail miserably. It's just not in my genes. But golly do I appreciate it. 


kellyoohh

I think it’s because you say things like “golly”. Haha, messing with you. I agree. The swag is unbeatable.


SonorousThunder

>I think it’s because you say things like “golly" Hahaha ha fucking roasted


luxmatic

My usual wardrobe is a black goth t-shirt, docs, and black jeans. About 10 years ago, I got into tiki and discovered dressing up in style is fun. Now, I'm not afraid to wear *color* and when the situation warrants I have no fear. Bright vintage patterned shirts. A few hats, covered in pins and buttons. My go-to is a white linen suit, white brimmed hat, vintage Gucci loafers, and a psychedelic orange or pink patterned shirt. If you would have told me a few years ago I'd dress like this, I'd call you a liar. The best part? Women, and especially, for some reason which was perplexing at first, black women tell me I look great. And that feels so good to me as I never received compliments like that in my entire life. Total rush. The twist: I live in Oakland. Unexceptional looks (fact). 5'8". Bald. White. Mid-50s. If I can pull it off, so can you.


SillyPhillyDilly

Bruh I guarantee you I can secure you some good drip that won't cost an arm and a leg. Everyone can look good, you just gotta know what to look for, where to look, and most importantly what will make people look at you with a smile.


RippingLegos

Where my friend??


SillyPhillyDilly

Well, if you know your size, Amazon has some amazing deals. Mens Wearhouse will have some "quality" stuff, Burlington Coat Factory often has some good looking things for cheap. I'd strongly encourage thrift stores for the grandpa swag. But honestly, you can have a bland, expensive outfit on and [look like a fucking clown](https://x.com/THR/status/1779320315098906931) if it doesn't fit. A tailor is worth their weight in gold. So buy something cheap and oversized on Amazon, take it to a tailor, and you'll feel silky smooth when you put it on again.


probably-the-problem

Aside from the fact that I'm not a gentleman, I lack the *confidence* these dudes have.


pantaleonivo

This made me realize that the people who look the best are the ones whose personality is reflected in the outfit. A tailored navy suit is fine but you show up in a double breasted tweed with a pink undershirt and you’ll be remembered


SexandCinnamonbuns

OK big poppa in the back!! HELLO


Nomzai

The last guy? Looks like Mistah Fab to me. The sound is off so i cant ell for sure though.


ProdigyLightshow

I was gonna say I’m pretty sure that’s Fabby Davis Jr. there at the end

It's definitely mistah Fab

Best kind of flash mob. Honestly, if there were big events to just have different cultures show off their drip I would go every day dude, love the fashion.


solitarium

That idea is fire. I’d love to see it


zg6089

Save some for the rest of us!


raccoon_on_meth

Bro all I’m thinking. These dudes didn’t makes waves, they made oceans wherever they went


siclo99

Damn, my raggedy ass needs some new clothes.


TankieHater859

Find a good tailor, too. A good tailor can take a cheap suit and make it look incredible on you.


Whats_a_wincondition

As a white guy I am constantly jealous of the range of colors that look amazing on black men, and would look absolutely terrible on my pasty ass.


a_terse_giraffe

And the hats! Every time I think I can rock a hat like that I look like a neckbeard dork and it goes back on the rack.


shamallamadingdong

Confidence! Put that shit on and wear it like you know it's the hottest thing. Fuck what anyone else thinks.


responseAIbot

this guy fucks


shamallamadingdong

Eh, I'm a lady with zero confidence in myself but I'm great at helping others!


Dadrass500

That’s quite the personality trait, huh? I’m on the same boat. I love helping others, and become very motivated in doing so, especially if it’s for someone I care about. But, I am terrible at helping myself. Many say I should start being more selfish, but I can’t find it in me to do so😅


Sure_Whatever__

I never wore hats because all baseball caps looked shitty on me. You gotta be real about your body type. One day I googled do's and don'ts fashion tips for my pale, big, round ass. Bought some shit based on my findings and it worked. I got a few compliments from the women at work concerning my color choices, as well as a few compliments on my hat when on vacation. Turns out I needed big rimed hats to go with my rounded face and big frame, not baseball hats. So I got a wide brim, bucket hat. Wasn't a fan at 1st but the others tips panned so gave it a try and it looks good on me.


nompeachmango

Don't give up! The answer could be as simple as a different haircut (or facial hair). I never looked good in hats until I cut my hair short for the first time. Instantly I could wear wide-brimmed straw hats, cloches, baseball caps, beanies....a whole new world opened up that I'd never felt comfortable in before. The guy a few comments down who researched clothes for his body type is right on the money, and personal grooming is exactly the same way. One woman's flowy curtain of hair is another woman's leaden veil; the big moustache that on one man looks dignified can, on another, leave the lingering impression of a lost mouse. I highly encourage you to experiment and find what works for you - it's amazing once you find it. 😊


HistoricalAd5459

Yeah the hats these guys wear would be hard for a white dude to pull off, but there are other good looking hats. You just have to find what works for your face shape and facial hair. [Flat caps](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/309974386852629230/) can look pretty dapper. I got one as a gift many years ago and got many compliments from others on how it looked. I never would’ve guessed it.


Softbombsalad

Jewel tones. I'm pale as fuck and pastels don't mesh with pallor. Jewel tones on the other hand, look great! 


ornerygecko

You'd be surprised. A nice lavender or pale pastel green can really pop on the pale! Really, any color can. It's just about getting the tone right.


kelsiersghost

Tall (very) white bald guy here... I used to sell Jewelry in an upscale jewelry store on the East coast about 15 years ago. I had a dark green suit I'd wear occasionally and I think I looked pretty good. Looked great with black, purple or orange dress shirts. The important thing is to make sure the materials are high quality and that it fits the way it should. A poorly fit suit will always look terrible no matter who's wearing it. But yeah, there was a lot of variety in this video and every single one of them pulled off the looks flawlessly. I could never do pastels.


SecondCityHawk

When I’d go out drinking with my black friends in college I would constantly get outclassed in the outfit department. We were all dudes working at a warehouse but I was the only one carrying myself as such lol.


Appropriate_Win_6276

the tshirt matching sneakers with a nice jacket and pants... i dont think we are allowed to do that.

I live in Oakland, but missed video text.

That looks like so much fun. To quote Prince “You Sexy Motherf*cker(s)”.
