Hi! I'm Antonio Centeno, the founder of Real Men Real Style. Today, I'm going to be giving

advice to a gentleman who is a heavy commuter. In fact, he's commuting four hours a day and

he's wondering, "How can I dress sharp when I'm spending so much time on public transportation?"

Okay. "Antonio, I need advice. Precisely, I live in a city that's 70 kilometers from

the capital. I have to get on the bus at 6:00 a.m. every morning." He's in Kosovo, by the

way, so he's on there two hours. After work, he gets on the bus for a two-hour commute

back home. Now, during the day, he works at a court. I guess he's a lawyer, so he needs

to be shaved, well dressed, and appear in front of a judge almost daily. Given the fact

that he has to undergo this route the entire year, 12 months, four seasons, what would

be my advice?

All right, so I'm not familiar with the weather conditions in Kosovo. I've been to Croatia

and I'm familiar with some of the former Yugoslavia area, but I would have to say that you're

probably dealing with four seasons. You're closer to the water, so not as bad as we probably

have here in Wisconsin, but you do deal with rain. You deal with probably some snow and

you deal with hot weather.

I'm going to say really there are four things you need to focus on. So for three of the

seasons, not including the summer, you need to have some good outer wear and this is going

to be like your shield of armor, your protection because you can wear something nice underneath

it, but if you've got a long overcoat or you've got a trench coat that is for the fall or

the spring and it's dark colored -- you can go with the dark. I've got a beautiful dark

blue trench coat, which I love, and it's darker colored because simply it's more practical

than the lighter colored one.

That's going to be a huge asset because it's going to protect pretty much all of your clothing.

And if you get it lightweight, you're going to be able to wear it even on cooler days;

it can be fine. You can have really nice clothing on underneath it and not worry about it getting

dirtied or soiled.

The next thing is going to be your footwear, so consider keeping a couple of really nice

pairs of shoes at work. And at home and during your commute travels, you wear a pair of boots

or something which is going to give you more traction. It's going to be more comfortable.

And when you get mud or slosh on it, you're not going to be upset.

It sounds like galoshes could be an option as well in really bad weather, but I would

say going with a really nice pair -- and they have dress boots out there, which in a pinch,

if you show up to work a little bit late, you could actually move around and very few

people would actually notice it. There are some really nice dress boots out there, but

I would have some really nice shoes which are there for you when you're at work in front

of the judge.

The other thing is dark colors and this is probably going to apply more in the summertime.

Oftentimes, we want to go towards lighter colors, but I'm thinking that if you are going

to be in a crowded -- and I've seen some of the public transportation.

I've got a story in Ukraine with my wife. It's the first time we're traveling in public

transportation. The bus pulls up and it opens up and people are almost falling out of it.

Basically, my wife takes a step back and she almost runs up and they jump into it, literally

people are pushing themselves into these things. It's that packed. I can't even imagine in

the summer having to do this. If you're having to do that, you want to wear dark colors because

you can't control it if you get something stained on you. Also, if you're sweating,

you want something that's going to help cover that up. Consider an undershirt.

The last thing which goes with the summer is to have a change of clothes there at work.

There's a great scene in Mad Men. I think it's the first season. Draper, he's been out

all night partying and got a couple of hours of sleep. He slept at his mistress' house.

He goes into work and he takes some ice, pours himself a stiff drink, and opens up his drawer

and he's just got all of these white shirts. He simply changes really quick, changes the

shirt. He hasn't showered, he hasn't cleaned up, and he's fine for that first meeting.

He probably needed to shave and stuff, but you can make this happen.

I used to do this all the time when I was in the Marine Corps. I would keep a change

of clothes there. If it was a late night, I wouldn’t even go home. I would simply

crash there in my office. I'd pull out a cot. I could make that happen actually. I had an

office, but it was a shared office, and I used a small closet space where I kept changes

of clothing, a little bit harder with professional clothing because you need to allow it to air

out and breathe. Also, the fact of security, you want to be able to lock this up, but perhaps

there's a gym that you can rent a locker at and keep a change of clothing there. It'd

probably be a well worthy investment versus you trying to move everything around.

Hopefully, those tips helped. If you guys have any more questions, you know where to

go, mensstyleqa.com. I'm building up that website, really excited about it because the

best questions and answers are rising to the top and I'm going to make videos from the

ones that we deem are really useful and I think you guys would enjoy.

Okay. See you guys in the next video. Bye-bye.
