Wise words to live by (jacket related)

There are a few actual men's fashion channels I've seen on YT. People with their own styles, who dress for themselves and nobody else, and who use the tools of fashion (e.g. cut, silhouette, fabric, colour, texture) to build their looks. But not many.

Most of what I see in 'men's fashion' is awful, and will turn you into a basic ba***rd, whose goal, far as I can tell, is to make you as bland and inoffensive as possible. This is a particular issue when it's women doing the styling. They almost always turn men into presentably boring. There are a few exceptions, Ilaria Urbinati for example, I'm just talking about the rule.

Once I figured out what I actually liked, I got rid of almost all influencers and never looked back. Now I buy for me.

yes,

most of the male style gurus are teaching men to dress to impress a woman, or to look sexy, or to look rich... how shallow can you be I thought

most female stylist are wives, and they teach men how to dress to be invisible to other women, they will teach men not to wear leather jacket, but wear suede bomber, or cardigan instead, and to avoid strong color but use neutral tones instead, to not wear jeans but wear chinos instead, their sole goal is to make you look as boring as possible and to be a decent looking room decoration

I believe what @navetsea means is that a woman prefers the attention to be on her. If all eyes in the room are on you, she gets jealous or insecure. Therefore she will always want her +1 muted down and complimentary.
