Many thanks David! Hugo & Sonya
thank you
Hold this 👑 thank you!
Cheers David much appreciated.
You all prolly dont care but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any help you can give me
Sonya's first point is quite universal: if you lose the joy in the pursuit of excellence, it becomes a burden - be that in career, fashion, sports, or any part of your life. Wonderful.
Many thanks ! Hugo & Sonya
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
This is a great story. Which is how I view the purpose of style. To tell your story through your clothes.
Thanks for sharing!
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.
Thanks for sharing!
Haha! Snap! When my father died in 2017 I experimented with bespoke tailoring!
The 14th sartorial mistake: to miss every episode you put out there for us!
By the way, love the quality of the image! That new equipment rocks!!!
Thank you Mauro. And concerning the new equipment, we are progressing. Still a long way to go to really make the best out of it, but on our way. Cheers, Hugo & Sonya (and Kosmas and Greg).
I'm an artist and most of my time is spent in my atelier but discovering Sonya and Hugo is a delightful escape into a world of social tastes; guided by two erudite intellects. what a pleasure. Thank you.
"Stop the madness: No more collar gaps!" Hahaha
Say it loud and proud, HA! Hugo
the collar gap with a tiny shirt collar drives me crazy too, lol
Haha, yes, it quickly becomes slightly obsessional to spot them, because they are everywhere! Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS nearly always come hand in hand with an anaemic lapel as well, so two chances to spot them! I have seen some shirt companies with sponsored adverts promoting these shirts so they must really be commercial successful at the moment. Hopefully not for too much longer. Also, Sonya - I love that suit fabric in particular. Do you happen to have a niece my age? Hugo - looking great as ever too and very comfortable (great rule)!. Regards, Guy.
@@guymcqueen6538 Mate.. "A niece my age?" Calm down damn
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.
I’d have taken those clothes to a tailor...
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.
And when they will put their feet in a real pair of leather shoes, they will understand. All the best, Hugo & Sonya
People are used to wearing polyester suits and glued together "dress" shoes. They don't even know what they're missing out with a proper version.
It is so refreshing to to not be given rules. Freedom is maybe the most important quality in style in my opinion. You guys call attention to important aspects of dress but never go so far as to make rules. I love it. I don’t even wear suits but find your talks extremely interesting and very much applicable to more casual style. Thank you.
Merci Jonathan for your encouraging words. And you are perfectly right, all this can be applied to a more casual way of dressing. Stay safe! Hugo & Sonya
Listening to Hugo and Sonya is almost like therapy. Love your voices and your passion; thank you for preaching to us and showing us the way.
If we can do something positive like you describe, then life is better. Thanks a lot ! ~Sonya and Hugo
As Hugo states being comfortable in what you wear and who you are is the best advice one can give - make it your style and people will respect you
Agree in full, Hugo
I find so interesting to see husband and wife having talk in this setting. I simply love it.
"No short socks, this is non negotiable..." he said sitting in front of a picture of a model with no socks on... But still excellent information, thank you
I must say, I adore you two! Your dynamic and banter is so fun and uplifting - Keep it up!
Thanks that's very kind of you! Hugo
"It makes you uncomfortable to know he is uncomfortable." Sonya nailed it! That is a perfect description of experiencing ones fussy behaviour.
I really appreciate the affirmation, thank you ! ~Sonya
This channel is a treasure ! Thank you for the wonderful talk Hugo and Sonya.
Thank you so much Sonya and Hugo for your videos!!! It is simply delightful to watch you both speak so eloquently about the ageless and timeless art of dressing elegantly (without the starchy feeling) Your experience and knowledge are invaluable. Much love from Long Island, New York.
The two of you are such a delight to listen to. Always enjoy the content.
Finally, I’m able to fully experience your conversation with all “RUclips viewers’ exclusives” that I could only imagine while listening on Spotify :) I really enjoy listening to Your calm voices and beautiful background music while on my way home, and now I’ll listen to Your great conversation again, this time both with audio and vision. Can’t wait for more interesting podcasts from You :)
What a great message to receive Christopher, thank you so much. More podcasts are ready to upload so thank you for the motivation. Cheers! Hugo
I’m very glad I found your RUclips channel, it’s such a fabulous education for me. I’m learning so much, and I’m starting to see things with new eyes.
It all came from a chance search to find out what goodyear welt meant.
Thank you for opening up a new world for me.
Magnificent discussion Hugo and Sonya! Pure class and style!
I always enjoy listening to you. Such a delightful talk. Thank you.
Thank you so much Jacob for your encouraging message. Hugo
Thank you very much for this very enjoyable conversation.
I wear a suit only on rare occasion. To avoid the ‘No Back-of-Collar Roll’, I always strech and sit on the jacket to avoid this mistake and have it neat.
It a pleasure to see both of you enjoying all this 😀
Thank you for the knowledge you guys share. Love all the suits y'all wear.
One of my favorite channels... thank you for providing visual images of the mistakes.
Thanks for saying so Enrique, and glad you're here. Cheers! ~Sonya & Hugo
I just happened upon this channel and I am in awe. You both are on another level! So happy to have found this.
Welcome to our community Lia and many thanks for your kind words. Hugo & Sonya
Lovely to listen to you both.
Enjoying Hugo’s books too.
Always refreshing content in these wearying times particularly.
Thank you.
I had a meeting. I never realized that I am usually the only one with a well tailored suit and a fashionable pocket square. I have a good collection of different pocket squares. 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!
When I think back to my days of experimentation and learning there were certainly some esoteric choices... your passion and gentle expertise have been an inspiration for many years. Thank you Hugo and Sonya!
Hi Michael, Join the club & hoping some of my learning curve pics don't resurface HA. Glad to have you here with us and thanks, Hugo
Sheer class - I could listen to you all day. Much obliged and keep up the good work.
Wow I clicked on this not thinking I would watch the whole thing and here I am at the end of the video. Very interesting stuff! Great work!
Ive been a fan for years, im glad ive found your channel.
Magnifique from Australia, it is a joy listening to you both. Thank you.
I'm a student, I've been interested in suits and classical sartorial style since 2015 and as a young person it's so freeing being able to comfortably wear suits and enjoy my style without all of the obsessive marketing companies try to do to other students and teenagers my age nowadays.
Thank you for helping me and inspiring me with improving my own style
You guys are so proper and classy...it's an enjoyment to watch. Thank you for the video
Thank you so much and glad you watched! Hugo and Sonya
You folks are one one the most sophisticated couples I have come across... So knowledgeable, articulate! You two nicely compliment each other! Wish you all success and happiness! And yes, thank you for the great content!
Thank you, Tarek ! Hugo and Sonya
I just discovered this channel. I’m a woman, so I guess this channel is not directed to me specifically, but I love the information, the philosophy of life, the simple passion. Wonderful. Thank you.
The wide lapels are quite a classic. As always informative content. Enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you so much Willis! Hugo & Sonya
You are both a pleasure to watch and listen, and so relaxing.
Thank you!
I cannot wait for the long tie short tie discussion. Lovely as always. Merci
Stay-tuned Marc, and thanks! Hugo and Sonya
Excellent video! Can’t wait for the next episode
Thank you Bruno! Hugo & Sonya
Well done! What a long waited for video. I love the irony of solving by negation in the heart of France. It's as if Descartes is looking down and smiling, and of course, sporting that famous collar.
Merry Equinox to you both 🍂🍷
Thank you J. Have a nice day as well! Hugo & Sonya
Wonderful 👏 thank you so much for share , and enriching us on classic style , wonderful video !
Our pleasure, thank you for watching! ~Sonya & Hugo
You both look very elegant as usual, humility and a tie are the only accessories you need in my opinion. Thank you for this video, enjoy your morning!
I am a huge fan of Mes Chausettes Rouge. I've been ordering from them for years (socks and Geo. Trumper cologne) and when I was in Paris a couple of years ago I dropped by the shop and met one of the proprietors. Very nice fellow and shop.
While we agree, this is useful information for other subscribers as well, so thanks for commenting ! ~Sonya & Hugo
Hugo really makes me laugh with his one liners and reaction to certain things haha love the channel so much!!
Great show! Lots of classical fashion learning!
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.
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.
We agree Julius. And in any case those advices work for the gentlemen who hesitate and are looking for guidance and inspiration. But if you master accessories, of course enjoy them! Hugo & Sonya
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.
You are absolutely right! Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
lol i love it: "you just don't go outside without good shoes".
Such a great and interesing talk about sartorialism you guys have really helped me out by mentioning the fench store that sells good socks that was really one of the things i kept ignoring having socks that constantly slide down so annoying! I will be ordering some from them!
Excellent! All the best, Hugo & Sonya
As I am understanding myself more and growing confident with my own style. I would like to inquire on your opinion for dressing well when at home such as through pajamas or dressing gowns, for those occasions where you are at home but you still want to look presentable if you were to pop out of the house for a bit. Great video as always and I hope I get to see more of you and Sonya together.
agree with Hugo , really like Sonia's ensemble here. Very relaxed with wide collar/scarf tie and rolled back jacket/shirt sleeves. super wide lapels are interesting. effortless!
Hello, I'm from Portugal and I love your amazing channel. Congratulations and keep the good work.
Thank you José! Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
New to the channel. Loved this talk. Just learning myself. Somethings I know instinctively but learned many new things I could see but didn’t realise what it was. Love that you said about comfort and as well about fussiness.
So nice to read this. Thanks for watching, Rob. Hugo and Sonya
Lovely episode! Great to see you both happy and energetic! I would also recommend if we can see Hugo's collection of cufflinks :) Cheers!
Both Hugo and Sonya are a very sophisticated couple, I always enjoy their videos and suggestions for dressing well
Many thanks David for your sweet words. Hugo & Sonya
2 Legends of the industry!!! Love these two
You're very generous---and we are grateful for the enthusiasm, so thanks very much.
Hugo and Sonya
Great video as always. A polite suggestion, some channels have recently put timestamps and video breakdowns with descriptions in the slider, i think your viewers might appreciate the same.
very reasonable, sober and inclusive reflections, cheers
Many thanks Tim. Cheers! Hugo & Sonya
An outstanding episode!
Where I am working (before COVID19 isolation), my 2 other team mates and I had organised "Not-So-Casual" Fridays amongst ourselves. We get dressed with neckties, waistcoats and/or suits while everyone else were wearing their casual shirts and jeans for Friday.
I agree with your assessment of belts breaking the frame into 3 components. Consequently I change my black leather belts to use a black buckle to help it blend better with the black trousers and black waistcoat.
Thanks Eddy for your contribution. We love your "not-so-casual" Fridays idea. We are the counter-culture! Stray strong, Hugo & Sonya
@@SARTORIALTALKS No worries, you are most welcomed. Back when I was the only guy dressed up at work, they asked why and I told them as a joke that I had a job interview. When there are 3 of us dressed up, it started to inspire other guys to wear neckties to work. Sometimes I wear the Eldredge knot and when they asked about the knot, I refer them to the resources online. When we all return back to the office I will share your Channel with them.
Thanks Sonya and Hugo!
You are very welcome, Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
I've learned so much from this video, thank you to both of you as usual! Particularly loved how Sonya can describe some of the mistakes in such funny, elegant and more importantly, non-offensive way!
I go back and forth between backcountry chopping wood attire and classic sophisticated attire. 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.
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.
Thanks for sharing your experience Kes. Best! Hugo & Sonya
Thanks great hints and insights.
With great pleasure Melkam. Hugo
I loved this video. So many great thoughts. I totally agree with Sonya and Hugo on so many points... I'm really not sure that belts have to match the shoes... much better to match the belt with the shirt or the pants. BTW i just received The Italian Gentleman which I ordered last week. Wonderful book... and looking forward to order new book on shoes.
Thank you very much. Concerning belts we believe the key point is discretion(whether you coordinate with shirt, pants to shoes). Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
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.
Being in the tech environment, you've made a real statement simply by wearing a sport coat. Glad to read about the positive results so far and yes, we need to work our way towards talking about more relaxed dressing. Thanks for that, Hugo
You must admit that Daniel Day Lewis looks amazing even when he's fussy haha interesting fact for you folks. He actually learned how to be a cobbler under Stefano Bemer when he stopped acting for a while. Great show as always Hugo and Sonya!
Yes Raphaël, we know the DDL story with Stefano Bemer (a great story by the way, probably linked with the shooting of "a room with a view" in Florence). Many thanks and stay well! Hugo & Sonya
Love this. So informative.
Thank you for your support Jerry. Hugo
Great tips. Wonderful. First thing is noticed were Sonya's beautiful glasses having watched the Maison Bonnet interview.
I love these discussions!
Thank you & glad to have you here. Hugo and Sonya
I must say this is one of my very favorite talks today! In the beginning Sonya brought up excessive “fussiness” (if that’s a word) And I think this gets to the heart of what style is about. One can’t be so fastidious that one’s style becomes a chore. Style, as you discussed, should be a passionate and even happy representation of who you are; a genuine statement.There needs to be an element of fun to it. Mornings have become an increasingly favorite time of the day because I truly look forward to selecting what I will wear for the day ... it’s fun!
Also the very “fussy” Daniel Day Lewis character Sonya mentioned seemed not so much about setting himself apart or distinguishing himself through style, but rather seemingly attempted set himself ABOVE everyone else and seemed i approachable as you discussed.
We’ve all met people that have that attitude about style. Glad you brought up other points like the stunted collar and clothing too tight and the need for proportionality in style.
I know I’ve mentioned my father before, but he taught me about “short socks” when he was getting ready for a TV appearance. He put on over the knee socks and asked me to look at the other guests on the show and of course, one of the men sitting on the sofa was wearing short socks that just looked horrible.
Another good fatherly lesson learned!
Thanks again for a great show.
Dear Dan,
True, it's incredible how an "at ease attitude" can make dressing a pleasure, and the motivation of Cecil (DD Lewis) is indeed open for interpretation! Cheers, Hugo
I can imagine your creative father doing something like this---great story. And the term "stunted collar" works well to describe the issue. Really glad to read your take, and even happier to know you enjoyed the episode! Hugo & Sonya
It was wonderful to hear this quite advanced and different-from-the-rest mistake list. Looking forward to the things you think are not actually mistakes. Thanks.
I really laughed every time Sonja fluttered her peak lapels. Very cute.
I just started wearing suits regularly. It’s for myself as I don’t need to for work but love classical style and I’m guilty of wearing short socks. I have hairy legs so I’m conscious of them not peaking out, especially here in Shanghai where men don’t have body hair, so my next purchases is ‘proper’ socks. But I worry they will feel uncomfortable after decades of ankle socks.
Dear Michael, just try a couple of pairs at Mes Chaussettes Rouges (I believethey ship to China) and you'll discover how comfortable knee high socks are. All our best! Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS Thansk Hugo. I’ll give them a try. Just had a hairy leg incident this morning so time to upgrade my socks. I have to agree with you on this one. No short socks.
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.
Thank you for your message (we actually have a lot of women watching this show). Best, Hugo & Sonya
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.
*Sonya* Not Sonia.
I tell you what..as long as you feel like you are under your second skin... it's like giving life with your body to the perfect proportions of your outfit ... a beautiful outfit makes a genuine soul shines through ...thanks again from bologna..!!
That's a beautiful message David. Abbraccio, Hugo & Sonya (we adore Bologna).
Sonya's best episode.
I would say, one of her best for sure. I realise she should more often lead the show!! Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS I haven't seen all of your episodes so there may be others where she excelled as well. A la prochaine!
I think that even in this day and age a well fitting suit and a nice pair of shoes are a must not only for the events that require formality but for it being a classical piece in men’s clothing that will never go out of style and personally brings so much confidence and understanding of the sartorial culture and knowledge
We couldn't agree more ! Best, Hugo and Sonya
FANTASTIC Content! THANK YOU!!!
Bravo Sonya et Hugo! Superbes (comme toujours)! :-D
Thank you! Huge help really.
Very good to read, thanks ! Hugo and Sonya
I just watched A Room With A View this week - great film!
It is Sonya's favorite film of all time. And now that we know Florence rather well, she still loves it. Hugo
Both of you are great in your knowledge . An advice to improve: Hugo let Sonia speaks please, she is so precise, acute when she talks; I want to listen her more, sometimes you talk in excess, also honestly, you don’t need the music when she talks, doing that way is so kitch and wire.., really is no necessary.
I agree with this sentiment 100%.
Great video, lots of fun and not too preachy, as these kinda of videos often are.
So nice hear, thanks for commenting! ~Sonya and Hugo
As a married man myself, I really enjoyed this talk between spouses.
I like to wear an overcoat and a scarf, and flowy pants, but I like to have it not perfectly straight or tie properly to give it a relax yet elegant look.
Hi.. I follow your talk from Iraq. It is a fascinating talk with alot of valuable advices. Thanks Sonya
Great video. I'm not sure if nonchalance is the exact opposite of fussiness, but it's certainly one of the things that strikes me first when observing others that I would call well-dressed.
Thanks Brian. Nonchalance in the meaning, being comfortable while staying elegant. Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
It's it very nice to see you talk about armholes, which have been my biggest concern and challenge since I started to dress better. 8-9 out of 10 shirts I try on are great except for the armhole. I don't expect to find a perfect fit in RTW, but the armholes I am talking about are so big they pull the shirt(casual, no dress shirt) almost up to my bellybutton when I raise my arms.
Ugh, big armholes ruins it.
Yes Karius, big armholes is the most frequent and overlooked problem in menswear. It comes from the false belief that if you have a big armhole, you'll be more comfortable, which is absolutely not true at all. Cheers, Hugo
I love RUclips sometimes. I don’t know who these people are or dress this way but they’re make it so interesting. I love listening to people talk about things they love.
I LIKE THIS EPISODE THANK YOU
You are very welcome George. Hugo & Sonya
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...
Haha, we love the way you count your accessories. All the best! Hugo & Sonya
Both of you are so elegant and at the same time really approachable. I want to become a person like you.
So kind. I hope we don't ever disappoint & thank you for the encouragement !
Hugo and Sonya
Always an excellent show! Regards from Brazil 🇧🇷
I am so with you on suspenders. I've been wearing them since the 80's, and you can beat them for keeping your look together when you sit and stand up. The pants always stay at the right height. I'm in sales, and I need too look good at all times to instill confidence in what I'm selling. So, in or out of style, all my suits have suspender buttons sewn in. No need for a belt!
Do Suspenders work ok without a jacket, coat, blazer, or vest?
@@miles2378 For me, I would only wear suspenders with a jacket or vest, although at the office, I wouldn't be shy about taking off my jacket.
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!
So much is open for interpretation---and all these things are man-made anyway, so we must rely on our intuitions and express ourselves the way we want. Cheers to you ! Hugo and Sonya
Really enjoyed listening to this episode. Please do a house tour.
