  • 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.

    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!

      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.

    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.

    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!

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!

    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.

    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.

    • @SARTORIALTALKS

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.

    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!

    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 😅

  • @alexxfreedom

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    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

  • @danbee415
    @danbee415 Рік тому +3

    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.

    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.
