    I began dressing "up"; or better, in 2006 when a personal stress appeared in my life. It was not exactly a tragedy, but it was something that dramatically changed my life. I was very depressed, but I realized that life goes on, and I could not just give up; because other people depended upon me, and I had a responsibility beyond myself. In order not to feel so depressed, I began to dress in a sport jacket and tie when I would go out of an evening,to drown my sorrows in the local pub, and try to feel more normal. I was pleasantly surprised to be treated with more respect and admiration, and to be immediately addressed, oftentimes as "sir" rather than the usual " 'sup". Men and women treated me differently than when I wore the "expected" jeans and t-shirt that I was accustomed to wear. I was astonished that peoples attitude changed so dramatically just because I changed my attire. I guess my point is, don't wait for some drama to decide to be better than you are, at any moment in your life, but try to be better than you are without the permission of others. Be your best self, and don't let others decide your direction in life; make your own way without the permission of anyone but you. Sorry for the rant, and have a wonderful life.!

      Dear friend, what a wonderful story. Thank you so much for sharing it. And you are so right. When you dress up (by choice and not by obligation), people are immediately different with you. They look at you with more respect and kindness. We've experienced this so many times, in airports, airplanes, restaurants, hotels, everywhere. Yours, Hugo & Sonya

      I don't wanna copy you , but actually I do share the same experience . I don't know why , but while going through tough times I started dressing up well and received similar response from the people around me . Apart from being respected I noticed that people around me tries to have a conversation with me and that too in a much polite and open-free way (they feel comfortable while talking to me ) so they explore themselves in a better me , which allows me to understand them better. Thanks @handyndn1 for sharing your experience .

      I started in the style world in a similar situation about 6 months ago, being depressed about family deaths and having the necessity to pick myself up because people depended on me. Back then, it hit me while I was seeing a movie... "the suit is the gentlemen armor", and just like yourself I started noticing people were acting more polite around me, I was even greeted as if I were a doctor. It was a funny moment, even though Im an engineer.

    Whenever I dress "formal" (because here people consider even a sport coat and jeans "formal) I've always been asked if I'm not too hot or uncomfortable and whatnot, same for "dress" shoes, because often people find those uncomfortable too, and I always just say "you're just not wearing the right ones".
    There's nothing I enjoy more when it comes to clothing than wearing a properly fitted suit and a nice pair of shoes.

    After losing over 45 pounds in weight this year I realized none of my clothes actually fit me anymore. I tried on a few of my suits and they looked as if they were brought for someone else. I had lost 4" from my chest and 4" from my waist. I decided very reluctantly to donate all of my beautiful wardrobe to good causes. I now have to start again with my sartorial journey.... I have to say the task is daunting to say the least. I need to take my new physique into consideration and as I begin to gather new pieces. I may well discover my tastes may have altered a little. Your channel will be needed. Thank you Hugo and Sonya.

My shoes are always polished and my shirts are tailored and tucked in and attached to my socks. The word is out in my company about my style. People now know to dress when they go on appointments with me. I always want my clients to know that I am brining my best and they will always get my best. I show I care in the way I deal with them but also how I dress. I think it only proper. I enjoy your videos and it has really helped me in my style journey. Thank you!

    I never used to "dress up" since I am in a tech environment and nobody around me wears anything more than a t-shirt / jeans or shorts. But I always liked some dressing up and started changing my style. I still do not wear suits (other than some rare occasion) but wear sport coats with contrasting trousers or jeans, added with an ascot (I do not use normal ties), a pocket square and a nice pair of shoes. For me it is my normal attire when I go to work or go to town etc. I really enjoy it. The funny thing is I get so many appreciation and respect even just in that attire. Many people say to me that I look very well and reminds them how people changed dressing style and how lost of a sight it is now. Thanks for the great pointers of working button height and being comfortable. I would like to see an episode concentrating on sport coats and ascots, for those of us who likes to dress semi formal and to add a bit more fun and free style.

    Always a pleasure. As already mentioned I think accessoires are a topic that depends a lot on your choice. If you prefer the classic style I agree, don't overdo it. But if you prefer a more daring, dandyesque, than it might be a good idea to wear some more of them. Which is, at least for me, a nice thing. Might change when I get older.

    When I was in Aberdeen at the weekend, on Saturday night I was wearing my dinner suit. The best way to walk in a dinner suit, or any suit, is to walk moderately quickly with one hand in a pocket. The ball room, where we had the party, is next to the coast where all the would-be racers like to park their cars and hang-out. There is always a police presence to discourage them from racing. I walked to check that the car was alright. I walked along with one hand in my my pocket and a straight back (I am prone to slouching). A couple of the young men said hello in a quite respectful tone, one of them even called me 'sir'. A little story for you.

Im an architect and seem to have the inherent privilege to drift from one to other without question from clients and colleagues. I have to say that your conversations inspire me to gravitate more to the classic style of a jacket and tie. And with most going casual it feels like a corrosion of conformity to dress classicly.. my favorite is to go against the sheep and their norm. Thanks for all the great tips and commentary.

    I'm intrigued that you count the tie as one of the accessories! For me, when you're wearing a suit, the tie is part of the suit (as are my cufflinks).
    That's my excuse for tie, cufflinks and pocket square.
    And the pocket watch goes without saying, obviously...

    I used to be a die hard of matching the belt with the shoes and even up to listening to this talk I was always thought this rule couldn't be tweaked, but now with what Sonia has said, I think breaking this rule will also add some style in enhancing silhouette. It makes lots of sense.

    Such wise words about shoes. In my experience, having interviewed many a young man for work, you can often read the measure of a man not by the style, or wear of his shoes but whether the welts are cleaned.

    I'm one of those gentlemen who has short legs and a long torso and I always wear my trousers at the belly button and all my jackets have a higher button stance. My proportions are so much better that way.
    Also, I believe the belt matching rules are there to help newer gentlemen make better choices at the beginning of their menswear journey. I think that belts should match shoes in most business environments but if you're dressing for yourself outside of the office or dressing for the beauty of it, the belts can be played around with. Sonya's points about matching the belts to the shirt or sweater wasn't anything I'd really considered before but I think that's a perfectly valid way to wear a belt. Cheers!

    Hello Hugo and Sonya, big fan from Australasia.
    Just a minor fact check regarding Gammarelli (if no one have covered it), the red socks are indeed intended for cardinals, since it's the colour of their garments. I actually gave a Cardinal (a close family friend) a pair of red socks from Gammarelli. The Pope himself wears white socks, as befitting the colour of his garments.

    • @SARTORIALTALKS
      @SARTORIALTALKS  2 роки тому

      Dear Paul, the Pope is also a cardinal, that's why he also used to wear read socks. But that's a minor detail. Best regards, Hugo

    Thanks for this very lovely talk! It really felt like sitting with you at the table. Just adding to the button stance problem: It becomes especially problematic with the lowered belt line trend of the last years. Then it looks to me like someone pulling from above rips the person apart. When looking at vintage '20s/'30s suits with very high trousers a high button seems a little less problematic.

    Love this! Am not a man but I follow your channel though still not a patron. Having lived in Milan for 30 years, my eyes are so trained with every little detail with what's wrong with things on every outfit but I'm keeping it to myself. I do try to share with others but only in Milan they would understand so it's difficult to share with those from other countries. However, love the French and the Brits/English when it comes to real style.

    I appreciate your advice on not worrying too much about the Rules and Dos-&-Don'ts. I've long argued that some of the rules are just remnants of bygone eras that don't apply to modern time. Some rules should be disregarded not to be rebellious, but because they are not sensible in relation to style or esthetics. I will certainly follow if they're reasonable. Besides, strictly following the "rules" will naturally hamper developments of one's own personal style.
    I truly enjoy your videos and will definitely look forward to your next conversation. You guys should have more subscribers. My apologies for ever mistakenly clumping you with the likes of the snobby fashionistas. Please continue sharing your knowledge and interests on all things sartorial (without selling anything:-). Until next time... Cheers!

    Bonjour Sonya et Hugo,
    Took a while for me to watch this episode but I have to say congratulation on another great episode
    The both of you aren’t getting old, your ageing like a fine chateau neuf du pape. I’m at the beginning of my journey. For the time being I’m sticking to SuitSupply and Van Bommel shoes, not yet ready for bespoke. Thanks for the tips on socks and ties.
    I really liked the comment about nonchalance and comfort. Both aren’t indicators that you don’t care, they are indicating that you don’t always take yourself to serious. The people that made the greatest impressions on me always felt comfortable in their own skin and made the people around them feel welcome. Take time for everybody, the milieu you come from doesn’t matter.
    Travelling at the moment so I’m looking forward to quarantine, once again. This time I will be prepared; I will order both the books to learn and educate myself.
    All the best.

    I want to say I like a relatively low 6x2, but obviously it depends on proportions -- the distance between the two button columns (I forget the word for this), and the desired lapel width, and the desired angle... You can't just pick all four of these things independently. Higher button stance can help you get a more horizontal angle. That's cool.

    Video great as always. Very good points. The only problem is that when someone, for example a student has a lower budget for sartorial clothing...like me. Almost all pieces I have are secondhand or from Etsy/eBay. It’s much much harder to avoid all these mistakes. Yes, something of course can be adjusted by tailor which is great, but I’m afraid that not all of it.

    The best remedy to what Hugo is talking about from 7:30 is see dressing like cooking: Just because you have 50 different ingredients in your fridge does not mean you have to use them all. (There's one famous Czech chef who once said: "The biggest enemy of Czech cooks is their own creativity.")
