- In this new episode of Sartorial Talks, Hugo and Sonya share their views, opinions and experiences on what they call "The Sartorial Ladder": a step-by-step journey toward personal elegance and style.
Many gentlemen are becoming these days very attracted to classic style but most of them don't know where to begin in order to be ready to confront other people's gazes and jokes (like the infamous "are you going to a wedding" ?) and safely progress on their Sartorial learning curve.
In this episode Hugo and Sonya have divided the journey in 12 different steps in order to help you moving up the Sartorial ladder : from your first steps in your first pair of "real" leather shoes to your mastering of the 3 piece suit and all its subtleties.

As a blue collar factory worker, I don’t have many chances to wear nice clothing. That is until I received inspiration from Edwardian and old west era workers. Now I’m looking to invest in high waisted hard wearing trousers with suspenders and a decent sack suit with high arm sleeves to use at work and in town.
Best of all in your endeavors--- these aesthetics could turn out nicely if done well. ~Sonya and Hugo
I drive truck working 80-100 hours a week, 6 weeks straight. I get (7) weeks total days off a year. So I feel your struggle. I too have decided to start dressing smarter during work, so I'm taking a cue from you.
This is wonderful to hear.
I’m 64 and have been in banking for 42 years. Most of my career, the “uniform” was suit and tie. This often was without a great deal of thought on quality and fit. The last 10+ years has been very business casual. And wearing a tie often brings comments.
As I contemplate the next chapter of life (retirement) I want to improve my style and be age appropriate. It doesn’t bother me what others think…I just want to be the best version of me!
Thank you for your videos and in depth discussions. I always enjoy them!
Thank you, Tony & it seems evident that you feel at ease enough to do what you want, as you are led to do. Glad you're here ! Hugo and Sonya
You are not the problem in this scenario. Standards have slipped and people these days seem to want to dress like peasants. However just because they can do so does not mean that they should. Keep up the good work and never let standards slip to fit in with oiks.
You will find that if you dress better than the average person then people overall will definitely treat you better. You don't have to go over the top. This is especially true as you age and when you steer your personal style more towards elegance. It is a rare thing to do that makes you stick out in a good and intelligent manner. Wear with confidence.
Tony, Go for it! I'm 75 and we retired people should be confident enough to dress to the degree of elegance we are comfortable in. Then with each new acquisition add a little more pizazz. The sky is the limit! Hopefully we can influence other people of all ages to stop dressing like they just rolled out of bed.
Simon, you said it very well. The way the majority of North Americans now dress is deplorable. @@SimonTBam
“Elegance is not a destination, it’s a journey.” I love it! Great content, as always.
but are you contented ?
For my adult life, I have been obese. In the past two years, I've lost half of my body weight and am fit now. As a treat for achieving personal goals, I've gone out and had a custom suit and several custom shirts made. My first fitting is next week and I'm VERY excited as I've never owned tailored clothing before.
Awesome!! How’d it go?

You can always count on Hugo to make such a unique remark. Cheers ! ~Sonya
@@SkinnyMoney that's a beautiful thing!
I'm an amateur shoemaker and work as a teacher at school. I really love classic style. Hugo and his beautiful wife Sonya help me to look good when I enter my working place. Thank you very much for such informative videos and especially for "shoes talks"))) Keep yourself safe! :)
How wonderful to read--thanks RC ! Hugo & Sonya
@rebelcaleb Have you watched Bedo’s also for shoe making skills? He is great for local shoe making
@@McSnacks930 looks like I haven't but I'll definitely watch it) thx)
I wanted to share my story of how I started.
So about a year ago I randomly found your video "A good suit can change your life" and it was after that I started watching all of your videos and after collecting some tips I just went for it. I had never worn a dress shirt or pants, tie, jacket, absolutely nothing, But I decided, I'm just gonna do it.
So my first outfit I put together was by vintage shopping, things I bought were: white dress shirt, gray pleated trousers, gray jacket, gray vest and a gray flat cap.
Now all of these items were different shades of gray and they go together very well. I of course added brown leather shoes and boots with this outfit, after this I purchased multiple ties (personally with this gray outfit I love wearing a blue/red regimental tie). At the end I decided to add a white pocket square and cufflinks.
All of this took me about a week to gather, yes it was weird at first wearing it out, getting weird looks, since almost nobody in my city wears anything like mine. But with all these looks, compliments came as well, on top of this some things started improving and going differently. Today I own tens of dress shirts, pocket squares, 10 + jackets, up to 30 ties and so on! I completely changed my wardrobe and I keep improving as I watch your videos and I keep taking notes.
Thank you Hugo and Sonya, without your channel I wouldn't have gone on my journey to change my wardrobe!
Wow, Archibald you did an amazing job. Thank you so much for sharing your story which gives us a lot of energy! All our best wishes, Hugo & Sonya
Dears Hugo and Sonya, I'm in love with your channel, congratulations.
I have a difficulty. My issue is that I live in Brazil, more specifically in the North, which here is very hot and wet. How to be sartorial in a tropical weather and still keep comfortable?
I'd love to receive a reply from you. Thanks in advance.
That’s awesome Archibald!
Good for you. You've done remarkably well in creating this wardrobe.
@@tiagoamorim6010 try fresco wool such as Huddersfield Fresco lite or Drapers 4 ply:) those fabrics will make very breathable suits that allow you to wear in hot weather.
I live in Singapore - similar weather as Brazil
Yesterday I found a wonderful double breasted navy blazer made from a 200 Tasmanian wool. It is amazing how it feels on the body and how well it interact under various temperature and weather conditions.
Congratulations Andrey! Best, Hugo & Sonya
I really love the episode, it’s nice to hear that there are still people who are passionate about classic style.
Thank you my friend! Hugo
I love Hugo's passion. " a pocket square." 🤣 I don't mean to make fun I enjoy you.
No worries my friend 😂. Hugo
As somebody who considers himself to be a "somewhat" experienced sartorialist, I actually found that I learned a couple of new things from this episode. Great job as always!

I'm a Mexican navy officer,, so we have to enter to the job in suit,,, and feels great when you look sharp and elegant,,, thanks for the advices
After wearing suits and ties in my professional career for over 40 years, I think this was a great ladder to how to dress well. Great episode!!
Nice validation and appreciated. Yours, Hugo
Funny that I actually followed most of these steps in the last 10 years of my journey :))
I remember my first leather shoes are actually military surplus black dress boots in style of chukkas. That pair actually could last until today, if not for me abusing them and finally permanently damaged them beyond repair.
Hi Rio. Glad to know the steps checked out in real life. I understand---My first quality shoes: Church's Grafton derby brogue... & the experience was much the same. Hugo
Out of all you videos I have watched from this channel over the years perhaps this is the most valuable as taking that first step can be the hardest
This is valuable to know, Raj. Thank you very much for your comment ! Hugo
Hah! I'm 53, and just this year I've begun dressing well (or at least better) I really appreciate your videos. Thank you!
This is a very important message/video for men or women embarking on a sartorial journey. I have followed the stages you have suggested over the last 5 years or so. I am now a card holding wearer of the neck tie! I find vintage ties and vintage clothes from thrift stores. I am not a wealthy man but have bought some quality items that have brought me such joy! In fact, inspired by Hugo, I acquired a vintage doubled breasted, peaked lapelled navy blue blazer, with brass buttons (slightly tarnished so not too 'bling'). Man, it's like a wearing a constant hug! I just wanted to say Sonya: you are so sensitive and insightful; Hugo: very inspirational and confidence-building; both of you are fab - I love watching and learning from you x
Tony
Many thanks Tony for your kind, uplifting and encouraging words. This kind of comment is exactly what gives a meaning to what we try to do on this channel. All our best wishes, Hugo & Sonya
@@SARTORIALTALKS Long may you continue x
This is the episode I've been waiting for! What are the basic, beginning steps to get into Sartorial elegant dress. Both of you well qualified to educate a growing audience on this subject. 👔
Great to read and always nice to hear from you, Ralph. Hugo and Sonya
Dear Hugo and Sonya, I incredibly appreciate the work you are doing to spread the culture of dressing with style, class and sophistication. In recent years I have always followed your advice and observations, which have been enormously useful to me to define my style, to consciously understand what I like and what makes me feel at ease. I thank you because if today I understand certain concepts applied to the reality of well-dressed it is thanks to you two, who masterfully manage to spread these wonderful topics without snobbery, with education, quality of content and deep respect for art and craftsmanship.
"Elegance is not a destination it is a journey".....wow que frase tan hermosa
Gracias Ramon !
I learned how to dress from my parents and grandparents. They dressed well and took me to the best clothing stores.
My father bought for me a book titled "Dress for success" by John T. Molly. I have studied this many times.
Also, it may sound funny, but wlatch "The Thomas Crown Affair" ( Steve McQueen 1968 )and the Sean Connery James Bond movies to learn how to appear the propper gentleman.
Thanks Hugo. Thanks Sonya.
William from Dublin (Ohio).
I too have the "Dress for Success" book. All those years ago before the internet, it was about the only thing I could find that provided any information about proper dress, style, tailoring, etc.
As a 30 year old looking to start on my satorial journey, this is such amazing advice! I'll be following process to transition into my new personal style. I'll be back to let you know how it goes :) Thank you so much for these high quality talks.
Any update?
I already feel more elegant just by watching you lovely people!
Ha very happy to read ! ~Sonya and Hugo
You gave a nice progression up the ladder. I hope many people follow it and bring a bit more elegance into the world.
Merci beaucoup de prendre le temps de faire ces vidéos. Je découvre votre merveilleux contenus à un moment pivot dans ma vie, où je prend en main ma santé physique, mon bien être intérieur et aussi extérieur afin d'être un exemple pour mes 3 jeunes enfants.
Milles mercis à votre conjointe et vous 🙏
In only a year since I have first found you, I made all those steps in a little different way. I started with a three-piece suit, just because I love it. The rest is history! I cannot express my appreciation enough for your channel, and for both of you! Special thank you for your time Ms. Sonya, you helped me a lot through our little idea exchange, and your energy is always uplifting and cheerful! Best wishes to you both! Have a great end of the weekend! Cheers!
I was born with this personality and curiosity. I always wanted to try and see different combinations, but was afraid a little insecure about what people would think. It was great to listen to you guys unfolding these principles for gentleman's dressing.
Fantastic tutorial. I'm keep coming back to it over and over again! Thank you!😊
Just watching I realized I am sort of half way the ladder, I guess I will climb up a little more. Thanks for the content!
Fantastic tutorial Sonya and Hugo. I always learn something new with each episode. Thank you as always.
Great to see this, Brett-- and thank you so much for making it a point to watch each episode. Cheers, Hugo and Sonya
I absolutely love your channel! The advice is the very best! Thank you for your efforts and sharing your journey!
I recently graduated from university and I started with my grooming.
Wonderful, sending encouragement. Hugo & Sonya
Love this show
Thank you for a great episode and I must say that Hugo's tie is beautiful
Good evening Hugo and Sonya; another superb episode; thank you so much and kind regards Ryan.
Cheers to you, Ryan ! Hugo and Sonya
This is an excellent episode for so many reasons. What really stood out for me was the shoe part of the discussion. I am delighted Hugo and Sonya both differed with everyone else I have heard on what is often said. The first pair of dress shoes you should buy are black cap toe oxfords. I recently purchased some chocolate brown suede cap toe derby Loake's which have now become my go to shoes. I can honestly say they work with all my jeans, chinos, flannels and most of my suits. I would never have had this versatility with the black cap toe Oxford.
It's always helpful to read about someone else's experience (with some detail), which can save others lost efforts and money. Thanks for taking the time share your story. Hugo & Sonya
Thank you for making this beginner step by step video. It was so straightforward to follow. I have seen a number of your videos now and it is clear that you are both highly expert (absolutely the best I have seen on UA-cam) and are totally sincere in your love for quality / elegance and in your wish to educate your audience. I absolutely intend following this journey for myself in the future.
Thank you so much Ross, for your wonderful message and for your encouragements. Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
I like both the shirts. You don't see many eyelet collars anymore. As usual, Hugo looks elegant.
Thank you ! ~Sonya & Hugo
I'm a 52yrs.old man & it's so true,one is never too old to learn something new especially when it comes to quality fashion 😃
Strong statement " get rid of your belts" 😁 If you look pics from 40's or early 50's they have those cool narrow belts. And I think they are really part of the classic style as well as suspenders or side adjusters..😊
Great point about referencing the (30s) 40s and 50s for elegant images of belts. The "get rid of your belt" would have been better-framed as a personal experiment to find your preferences. Sorry for that and cheers ! ~Sonya
I am currently in the process of loosing weight. One year ago I was at 137 kg, now I am down to 107. The ambition is to get rid of another 20 - 25 in the coming year, which will bring me down to the ideal weight for my height. Because of this it is a bit pointless for me to start just yet on the sartorial journey, and spend money on clothes I have every ambition to shrink out of. But one of the things that really motivate me is that once I reach my goal, I will book an appointment with one of the greatest tailors in the world, and commission my first bespoke suit. I haven't decided where to go yet, but I have a shortlist. Maybe Paris, maybe Savile Row - time will tell.
Also, thank you for your great videos. They are very pleasant ad relaxing to watch, and they give so much useful information that I will remember when I finally - hopefully in about a year from now - am ready to start myself.
Congratulations on your weight loss journey! I would also consider getting a MTM(Made to measure) suit as your first option instead of bespoke. It’s a great entry point as it relates to cost and it gives you a bit of a simpler process as it relates to customization. In my experience there are some MTM shops that rival some bespoke makers. It all is dependent upon the tailor.
This is wonderful --- and the advice from ES seems right. You could experiment right now with MTM and be ready to go with a great bespoke suit (once your goal is met) with a little more experience. And it would be fun. Cheers ! Hugo and Sonya
@@elevatedsupernova Thank you for your reply. I have actually started with M2M. I had a suit made two years ago, and also a sports jacket with a selection of trousers and shirts. And it was an entirely new world to have clothes that fit that well! But this is 30 kg ago, and now it looks very strange when I put it on.
When I reach my goal I will most likely have myself a new sports jacket. I had the previous one made at the local tailor here in town, and I believe I'll make the next one there as well. But the plan still stand to have a full bespoke suit made.
Hugo, I absolutely love that tie!
I consider myself fairly far down the road sartorially, and these guys are teaching me stuff regardless of the video I pick to watch. I love these two!
Thank you Jacob for your kind words. Very encouraging for us. Warm regards, Sonya & Hugo
Informative, intriguing and utterly charming to boot. Thank you.
An absolutely excellent video. Truly a great resource within the sartorial space. Much love to you Hugo and Sonya, god bless!
Thanks from the heart ! God bless you, Hugo
Another fantastic video Hugo and Sonya!
Thank you Carlos ! Hugo and Sonya
This is a terrific introduction. What an excellent, simple and easy approach from beginner to experienced. There is so much to absorb in the subject and you perfectly provided a friendly path. Thank you for producing this!
I appreciate your encouragement! Thank you, Hugo
FINALLY!someone spoke the truth about the f.... belts!Thank you Hugo!!
Ah ha. Cheers ! Hugo
This is exactly what is needed! Thanks! I was really enjoin this video!
So glad to see this ! ~Sonya and Hugo
"get rid of your belt, but don't lose your trousers"...going to use this
Excellent video. Very well said
I love this!
I love this episode. I have watched it three times. And against Hugo's advice I did write this down, so I have quick access to these steps. I like having the framework. I don't want to get out over my skis sartorially speaking, but it is always a temptation of mine to go for that statement piece instead of building the solid foundation. I have a beautiful odd jacket in my closet and I don't know what to wear it with yet because its a check pattern with lots of color in it and I am a newbie. Thanks for all the talks. -A
Excellent video, very informative.
I have got to know your channel yesterday. It made me want to go out and buy cloths and upscale my understanding of style (which is very low at the moment, I do have my wedding suite that still fit and my pocket square).
Sonya I absolutely love the way you dress.
Haven't seen it yet and already love it. I'm a fan. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🌴
Thank you sir! Love from Atlanta GA. Hugo & Sonya
I startet this year (age 58) to change my stil, to wear other trousers nomore only Jeans and i wear Suites, it`s only Siutes from Suitesupply, but it feels good. I love it. First the People arround me looks about my change, but now i get compliments about it
I'm glad that I watching this now . So I can rebuild my wardrobe early at 21
As usual, You two encourage me to continue to try and upgrade my wardrobe.
That's encouraging and thanks for sharing some of your personal experiences ! H & S
I like very much your videos... always something to learn... always delightful and easy to watch... kisses 😘 Sonya and Hugo

Love this so much! I got into real estate and corporate strategy almost solely to have an excuse to wear all these beautiful threads you discuss! Thank you for putting out such wonderful content
You are very welcome Branden! All the best, Hugo and Sonya
I can honestly say that most of the "mistakes" in my wardrobe are a result of not following the steps described in this video, good work!
You _'can honestly say'_ ? Means, usually you lie, but not this time. 🤥

I am 53 and just started( last few weeks) to get really interested in suit, shirt, and ties. Great video.
Amazing and so much information and content, really I follow all your videos and appreciate support for the community
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. It means a lot to us. Hugo & Sonya
Methodical is the way that I'd describe your means of explanation. And a ladder is the perfect analogy. Hand over hand, foot over foot. So many of your points landed with me just perfectly.
Thank you for making the effort to say so, Henry. Cheers ! Hugo and Sonya

Thank you for the insights! As a student at University it'll be difficult to start this, I'll begin looking for some great Brown leather shoes. Thank you!
My favorite from coworkers…. “What’s up, you got court today?”
Excellent..un plaisir de vous écouter..

A Blazer is a solid color, and usually has metal button. Some summer blazers will have a bone or pearl style button.
Yes! Hugo & Sonya
Dear Sonya and Hugo, i have to say it : you need to reconsider the belt. Im talking about the 2,5cm leather or suede belt, with a nice curved buckle. It can be very stylish, especially on a casual or ivy-influenced outfit. Just yesterday I was wearing my navy hopsack teba jacket and grey fresco trousers, buttoned down Oxford shirt and back penny loafers. I have to say my black thin belt was the star of the show! 😅 cheers!
I love these videos and the channel, I just wear what I love which is classic style, and when flying people ask and I say, I always want to be prepared for any situation if I lose my luggage
A more than valid answer ! ~Sonya and Hugo
Great video Hugo and Sonya! You can incorporate a more casual tie even before a jacket with a v-neck sweater. I often get compliments on wearing a tie when I go to work, and it is a smart casual setting.
Nice one, which we should have included---thank you! Hugo & Sonya
Well I started my journey in my early 20s (I'm 30 now), I have several very nice suits, ties, shoes etc....but they stay in the closet since I decided to bike to work 😂
Cotton trousers and sportcoats are my go to because of this...
Understood, timing is everything ! Hugo and Sonya
What a wonderful talk, you two! I learned, for the first time the "same pattern, different size / different pattern, same size" rule. (My wife, I find out, already knew this.)
Women (and some men) know this rule of thumb in home decorating, it's true. Happy you find it useful. Cheers ! Hugo
You two are so dear 😍! You make me feel very comfortable watching you. 😊🌹
Wonderful to read, thank you ! ~Sonya & Hugo
Both of you are inspiring!!! :)
Love this video! I'm working my way into the sartorial game slowly. For me short sleeve button up shits are helping me get comfortable especially in the summer. I bought 2 suits last November but I also started lifting weights regularly so they don't fit now and I never got to wear anything but one of the pants to a funeral. One of the old videos you said buy the suit for the body you have now because everyone has these grandiose ideas that they goung to lose weight or get buff. I guess I have a good problem 😅
Well I love how I did nothing right on my journey. Started with the Black suit, no tie or pocket square. The blue and white stripe shirts - this is wear I got my love of patterns. Still only have two white shirts.
I only recently bought my first grey flannel trousers. But I have now 5 suits, yes RTW but I am working on that. I now have 10 different pocket squares to add that pop, 10 ties all different shades and patterns.
I have my first bespoke suit - three piece grey herringbone. Looking at my second in either a green or brown. I should look at blue but my RTW are mostly blue.
It doesn't matter how you get there just enjoy it. Apparently there is only 5 individual that wear suits in my organisation and I'm one of them, accept that you look different but elegant, even if your fit isn't perfect, it's better than most.
Sonya and Hugo are a massive influence on my journey. May it long continue.
Thank you dear Alexander. And we hope you enjoy your TLBs Spectators! Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
@@SARTORIALTALKS one of the things I got right. Still love those shoes.
Wonderful!!! 🎩
I always appreciate your views and understand your perspective. Personally, I really like belts.
So interesting thank you to you both, lots to think about. I would only wear a plain tie with pinstripe suit but I may be brave enough for a striped one with the correct width stripes of course!
Thanks for the great advice.
Thanks for watching ! ~Sonya and Hugo
I'm so glad to hear that we can eliminate belt loops and a belt and still be wearing proper attire. I have always had a problem with the buckle being too thick or peeking out from behind the bottom jacket button and creating and unwanted focal point. I think I will have my tailor remove all the belt loops from my trousers and I will replace them with side adjusters! Thank you for this information!
You're very welcome Ben! Cheers, Hugo
what an exquisite way to spend my evening 😍
Ha thank you sp much Lizwi! Hugo & Sonya
Epic episode! Thank you so much for putting it together. This is such wonderful information about the progression. I have been approaching it from the opposite end of NOT wearing certain things... like cutting out tennis shoes, jeans, white socks, etc... I am now up to chinos/slacks and sports coats with a necktie. I have to say I have been getting overwhelmed a bit and been getting lost with shirt/tie/jacket colors and patterns. I keep trying things out and falling more into the "fashion-forward" choices. They are good looks... but not the classic style I've been pursuing. This episode will help me course correct and climb the latter I'm aiming for. Thanks so much Hugo and Sonya!!!
Dear TBN, Eliminating items is a clever approach which we didn't consider, but makes sense. We're glad you found the video as a tool to breakthrough a sartorial block. Cheers ! Hugo and Sonya
One tip on the leather shoes that worked for me was buying a pair of brown loafers, you can use them with casual and more elegant clothes. Of course I use to feel weird with normal dress shoes so I opted for loafers and it worked really well for me
That's a great idea my friend. Loafers are easier at the beginning for sure. Best! Hugo
I think the biggest part I am struggling in this aspect is whether I'm being authentic to myself or whether I'm doing this to please others. It's certainly both and I'm trying to seperate the two. I know when I'm with my family and when I dress up I feel very good about myself, even on my own a few days after the event. But when I'm on my own for long periods of times, I can become quite judgmental, arrogant or aloof (on purpose) out of spite. It's probably due to the culture here in the UK.
The one thing I do think is that if you're in an activity where you're too worried about damaging your garments, you're probably overdressed. Not really sure how to combat this really.
This is a great guide. I have only got as far as trousers with a shirt and jacket (apart from weddings and job interviews). I have bought a nice overcoat and got a lot of compliments for it. I’m now starting to explore going further and dressing “like an adult” at 35 😂
Excellent Steve! Have a nice sartorial journey! All my best wishes, Hugo
Merci pour cette belle vidéo qui donne envie de monter sur l'échelle sartoriale. Une progression en douceur qui permettra d'atteindre le sommet avec sérénité.
Oui Yves, et vous verrez que le voyage est fascinant. Amicalement, Hugo
I thought this would be about how to become a tailor, lolol, but I stayed for the fashion advice.
Thanks Michelle for staying 😂! Hugo
Love your videos I consider them to be educational.by the way I got my first pair of j Fitzpatrick .thanks guys
Jesus I subscribed last night and I love these two lol
Thank you Gennaro, you're very kind. Hugo & Sonya
I found this video especially relevant now that social life and going to the office are slowly returning as a part of daily life - my daily dress has definitely taken a beating over the last year and phasing things back in gradually (the shoes, the shirt, the jacket!) seems like a delightful way to mentally dileneate a 'rebirth' of sorts.
We can relate to that my friend (even if, thanks to our job, we did not stop dressing up during this crazy last year and a half). Let's dress up again and welcome the new world (post-Covid) with elegance and patience. Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
