first of all if you’re reading this - thank you for watching my video! before leaving a comment, please remember this is all light hearted fun, me and gentleman’s gazette have spoken in the comments section and we both agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion ✌🏻 also it’s just clothes so please don’t get butthurt ❤️
@@hillelshlechinger6055 Not everyone wants to dress like it's the 30s either. You must be just like the kid on the debate team I captained in high school who wore a suit even on non-tournament days. You're not classy, you're just a dweeb. You can't speak for your OWN subs (I know you only have 6) so you have to mooch off of GG's to make your point. I don't make content so I don't need to validate myself in such a way. If you can try to let go of the pretentiousness I might just be nice enough to tell you what the inside of a vagina feels like sometime, dweeb.
@@45scienceproject people who have suits usually are the ones who can afford them, yes “modern” clothes are expensive, but in my opinion they do make people look childish and millennial like. Back then when everyone wore suits it was because the trend was to look “fine” and well made like you just made a million dollars from the stock market and got a suit made from the finest cotton made by master tailors and hand sewn to fit your custom shape. Now the modern style usually involves EXTREMELY cheap and low quality cotton, all machine made and mass produced because the goal of these many “designer” brands isn’t to make a high quality article but to make thousands of them for very cheap and very fast. What you call “modern” style is actually very very low quality.
@@45scienceproject Not everyone wants to dress like the 30’s, but guys into it, who are the ones served by this company, DO want to dress that way. So dress as you like and watch something that helps you.
Glad we could be of service @Gallucks. You are not the first to react to the video, and I totally get why. We are not about drama, and so reaction videos are not in our repertoire generally, but we will film a reaction video to our own video simply because many things have changed since we filmed it. Maybe you can react to that one too, I'll let you know when it is published 😉 At the end of the day, it is each to his or her own. Find the style you like and roll with it, and don't be afraid to try out new things.
@@cyrusraein6726 I don't think hes really insulting Joel's style. He's just admitting that his style is different than Joel's and that his own video needs to be updated. His style is more old school/ business wear while Joel's style is more youthful and trendy. Both work it just depends on what style you want to wear, your age, the environment you are in, and what makes you comfortable.
@@gentlemansgazette dont imply that trends (thus Joel) dont have quality if you're not here for drama. If anything, your fashion is the reflection of an outdated time period. Instead of dressing for others, we dress for ourselves here as a reflection of what society is today. So if you're saying your historic 1930s way of dressing is more quality than today's trends, I would agree if we'd both value it in a museum.
@@mpanini5694 I think by quality he means how the clothing is constructed. A lot of the fast clothing made nowadays won't last nearly as long as vintage clothes have because they aren't meant to last forever. Its made cheaper so that it can be produced quicker and cheaper and more people can buy it. That doesn't make it bad. Just not as long lasting. And most trends won't be in fashion in 5-10 years. But some things are classic in the sense that they will be less likely to be out of style in a few years. For instance a basic pair of dark blue jeans in a slim fit or slim straight (basically a style that fits your body type but isn't either really tight or really loose) has been a staple of menswear for decades and probably won't be out of style anytime soon. But the super skinny jeans of the early 2000s or the bootcut bell bottoms of the 70s are more likely to go out of fashion because they are more interesting and eye catching. I think the best thing is to just find whatever works for u. I like some aspects of the gentlemans gazettes style when it comes to textures and suiting. Other things I dont prefer like a looser fit or pleats. And I like gallucks style as well although I wouldn't wear a lot of it because I'm not huge into streetwear. But I do like how he incorporates designer clothing and trends into his clothing. Especially his use of boots. Its all interesting entertainment to me. I actually didn't know about this channel before this video but im subscribing now because he seems cool
To be fair, the things he mentioned are good tips for the specific people who are into that kind of attire and that's who his videos are targeted towards lol (he was being very harsh though lol)
@@VarietyShow so if i said to you "you look like a douchebag" but not "you are a douchebag" thats ok? mate come off it. Saying he thinks wearing sandals makes you looking like a douchebag is still a dick thing to say
This was hilarious to watch yet also a bit cringy. It's like a video gamer critiquing a professional card player or billiards player on how serious they take their skill. You're on two different planets. Ralph focuses only on traditional and proper gentleman's attire. He isn't the least bit interested in "vibing." He is teaching high and classic men's fashion and the fact that you said that nobody is trying to look like this since 5 years ago shows how much You're not on the same page. His focus is on timeless gentleman's fashion, not the trendy hipster shit that encourages platform sandals. (Though arpagadas are ugly) Why the hell was this channel recommended.
*His focus is on timeless gentleman's fashion* And yet classic style icons like Marlon Brando, James Dean, Paul Newman, and Steve McQueen will be considered "peasants" if we follow his criteria. In fact, anyone who's frequently dressed down, have professions on the same level as peasants or car salesmen, and who think Mens Wearhouse is too expensive, will be excluded from his idea of a "gentleman". Let's also see who can lift the most out of Raphael and people like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, The Rock, and Jeff Caveliere
Everything you say is TREND, TREND, TREND. The gentleman's gazette is dedicated to classic menswear backed by facts and history. The suit is a garment that has been in menswear for centuries. Graphic t-shirts and other trends that you support, have only recently come into popularity but go in and out of style decade after decade, further showing that they are nothing more than just that, TRENDS that have no solid foundation. And proof of that is on the world around you. If you went for a job interview in your hoodie vs. a suit you wouldn't come out ahead. Thats all being said, as Raphael said in this Era people wear whatever they want and don't care about their appearance, so feel free to wear what you want. You continually criticized him based on things you precise as "cool" or "trendy" which is a very closed minded view point.
@@Gallucks It's not brain worms, he's telling the truth. GG is about classic style that is timeless, and what he says about the job interview is true. I think it just comes down to target demographic. GG's target audience isn't teenagers, their content is for people who want to look professional and also invest in quality garments that last for many years. Anybody can just look at trends ("nobody wants this!") and have a superficial opinion of what looks good, but a GG's content often delves into the functional purpose and history of the articles they discuss as well, eg. only wearing flip flops at the beach, because you don't need the ease of taking them on and off when you're at a restaurant. The sheer depth of information they provide is why people watch their videos, there is more to it than just saying "sandals are a vibe" and referencing what Kanye is wearing because a lot of times that stuff looks awful unless perfectly executed and will be out of style in 5 years or so.
@@Gallucks Aside from what he said in the replies, he is correct tho. So maybe instead of overgazing the argument, reply to it. And if you think he is correct, just admit it.
Greetings from a Gentleman's Gazette subscriber (only 20 years of age). I think it's worth pointing out that this has been Sven's most devisive video (note the like-to-dislike ratio). Most often he isn't this harsh in his language usage, and also uses other words besides 'dapper'. The premise of the channel is to serve the very small minority of people who are invested in classical mens style, he is not advocating that everyone adheres to these guidelines. In their respected field GG reign supreme on RUclips and provide knowledge that is hard to come by elsewhere. Some of the advise is admittedly somwhat antiquated, but nonetheless GG provides a nice contrast to the dress-down culture that has been prevalent the last couple of decades.
Greeting back from another gentleman‘s subscriber, I am also one of the younger people and really enjoy wearing suits, ties (neck and bow ties), pocket squeaks, leather dress shoes and pleated pants. I know some people think that dressing like in the 30s is to formal, but as we all know it is better to be overdressed as to be underdressed.
Chiming in as another 20 something year old GG subscriber. The content of the channel is usually quite inclusive but this video in particular is quite harsh. As someone who is the first in my family to graduate from a university and first to have a professional carer, my family and I were incredibly excited to assemble a professional attire. I dress up for work because I am proud of what I have manage to and continue to accomplish.
Dressing up is perfectly fine and very much a man thing(vs boys), the problem with Sven is that he literally looks like shit and nothing fits him well yet he's pretending he's well dressed and knows what's going on.
This is amazing, it’s like a clash of cultures that just don’t understand each other on a fundamental level. I tend to side with the Gentleman’s Gazette here because I really like the type of style he promotes (though I don’t often wear suits), but I can see some of your points. At the same time, the things you show as counter examples are profoundly ugly to me and I have the opposite reaction to yours when I see well-made, brogued leather shoes. And, no, I’m neither old (27) nor am I forced to dress a certain way at work.
Every pieces of clothes he wears and advocates for will look dated, even to him, in less than a decade. Its like seeing a fashion designer in the 70s acclaiming elephants legs pants will look great forever.
Gentlemen's Gazette is about dressing as a gentleman in a classic style. It's not about age. Gallucks is great, but it's more trendy fad than anything else, and that's perfectly fine. There will always be men who are boys, and men who are men. I commend Gallucks for choosing his own path, and I support his right to do so. There's nothing wrong with it at all.
My problem with the original video is how the phrase the title and the wording throughout the video. Rather then being specifically about that type of style they phrase it as things you should never wear. I think that leaves the wrong impression in people cause the video is actively telling them that they can’t wear those clothes not that those clothes don’t particularly go with that specific style.
@@Alenator-pq9wf Impression on who? I am soo sick of this snowflake generation masquerading as adults these days it a youtube video click off. If a video of someones personal opinion triggers you then you are whats wrong with this society! Gentleman Gazette is expressively for helping men dress more dapper and smart, The video is not for all men its specifically for men who are looking to learn what to consider not wearing to look better in tat SPECIFIC style! Its not for people who want to dress trendy (And i can find many videos from young people who dress trendy with titles like "Don't wear this..." "things you should never pair together..." Does that offend You? People are gonna say things you don't like deal with it!
Those alpagratas or w/e are the ugliest shoes i’ve ever seen in my whole entire life and I e not even lived it all yet. It’s so strange how, whats considered stylish by these men is very old fashioned 1930’s - 50’s type of smart clothes. It’s like saying the correct way for women to dress is in dresses and kitten hills and petticoats 🙄
@@alexflores4458 true, but the point of those shoes is that they're ugly; they're gaudy and rude and overly chunky on purpose to the point where it's almost indulgent. Where Margiela sneakers might be daringly ugly, afrogatos or whatever are like what you'd wear if you wanted awful ugly shoes AND you wanted to be a pussy about it.
The creators of the channel and website are very aware of this. They specialize in (classic men’s style) which is based on the golden age of menswear. If you’re into modern style then this isn’t the channel to watch. They do however provide good content for people who like to dress very formally in suits very often and own a classic wardrobe. They likewise have wonderful black tie and white tie content for those who attend semiformal and formal occasions often.
The problem is when you tell it as if "its the only way" to look dapper. For men over the age of 40, who want to dress more 'mature', you can still look dapper and MODERN at the same time. You don't have to look out of time!
This whole video is infuriating to watch. You call him bitter, overly critical and unknowing for talking about a subject within his expertise, yet you're reacting with gag signs, calling him old, saying "no one ever does this" and disregarding every point he makes. Talk about hypocrisy. What I mean by his subject of expertise is the style of classic men's clothing, which is what the video you're reacting to is all about. Like he says in the video, you CAN do whatever you want which is becoming the norm today, and at the same time you can inhale asbestos or dress up as an emo 12 year old as you seem to do calling yourself a fashion stylist, but that doesn't mean you should if you want to be respected. I wouldn't be nearly as critical towards a video like this, no matter how whether it contradicts to my opinions or not, if you didn't behave like such a jackass while expressing yours. Especially how the video is aimed towards those who do want to dress up like that, hence why the video is published on a vintage men's fashion channel called "Gentleman's Gazette" and not "objective facts everyone should follow". If you aren't interested in the subject the video is about, don't watch it. What you're doing here can be compared to going to a fancy restaurant, ordering a fancy wine and then spitting it out yelling "I HATE WINE!" Just don't order the wine then. And you especially don't have to insult the waiter afterwards. There is also no point in beginning the video saying you're a "huge advocate for wearing whatever makes you happy" when you behave like that for the rest of the video. A tip for you is to revisit the channel and watch some of their videos on improving personality and conversation, as it's apparent how much you have to learn about that. On a last note, asking "who would even do anything like this" while noting repeatedly how it has two million views just answers your own question.
I'm in my mid fifties. I grew up in NYC Brooklyn and queens in the golden era of what some people call hip hop culture in fact I remember when it all started. I appreciate the gentleman's gazette for their knowledge of the origins of men's classic fashion. I grew up watching pimps, hustlers, and gangsters real street players and how they dressed. Society has changed in the last few decades and we now have a more free spirited approach to fashion now. I like to think that I'm one of the most versatile individuals ever. I might Ware a tshirt a pair of military shorts with a pair of construction timberlands and a new era yankee fitted hat. The next day depending on my particular endeavor I might Ware a bespoke three piece suit no belt just suspenders custom made shirt silk tie white pocket square (TV fold) and carnation in the lapel with black whole cut oxfords. My point is that I can go to any street corner in any hood and be like what up what's good or I can sit in on a board meeting and fit in with the top executives. A lot of the styles now are just straight goofy and anti masculine. The trained eye can detect quality over bullshit. Once again big shout out to gentleman's gazette from Brooklyn NYC we fucks wit you .
Watching this video is like listening my friends' opinion about a lo fi, jazz or classical song: They say that is not cool just because it doesn't sound like the trap music which they usually listen and now is on trend in italy.
@@LoscoX I was agreeing with you. But if you ask why, it's mostly for the craftsmanship everything had, the attention to be good and not just getting comfortable with what is miserable and making it popular and pass off as good; less chaotic times, stronger people in general.... But I'm not saying it's good just because it's older and traditional either, a lot of things improved over time.
This video has two of the things I dread the most on the internet: the reaction genre and sandals with socks advocacy, but I still prefer it over watching a video where someone recommends to wear freaking alpargatas lol. Thanks for the content, Joel. Even when it's not my cup of tea, it's still entertaining to watch!
Something that has been a trend in fashion for a long time is being self-aware / meta, so when he says "you look immature" or "you look like a school boy" like yeah thats the point, its that aesthetic but elevated. On the other side of the same coin, something that is also very popular is taking smart wear like blazers and making them casual or even distressed. Idk much about "dapper" fashion styles but maybe these trends just don't translate? What i think is so popular about streetwear and high fashion is being able to take different elements of different styles and converging them, bending the rules to make something unique, but dapper style is a set of rules that can't be broken; personal styles may still exist but all the elements of the outfit are from within the same bubble in fashion.
I am in my 50s. Son, you are polar opposites of those living on this earth for more than 4 decades. Lost me 56 seconds in while wearing a sweatshirt then conversing in the topic of "style". God Bless.
I really like this video since it presents such opposites in fashion sense. I'm am currently more casual and street wear leaning due to just not really having anywhere to wear formal stuff, but as someone interested in formal wear I have watched quite a few GG videos. I like how Gallucks does point out that not many people want to wear formal stuff anymore, which is valid, but I also really like the fact that he never tries to find common ground at all. it's genuinely fun to see.
"It is for is strange, weir style" it is simply called classic style and there are still people that like dressing that way even in their freetime and not only at the office. I understand that he was a little aggressive in this video, but there's no reason to offend a style that other people like saying that it is weird or strange.
And also "no one wants to dress that way" is a statement that looks a bit childish, since you or the people around you don't want to dress like that it doesn't mean that NO ONE wants to.
I never thought i'd see a guy in a printed hoodie talking about style. Gotta check that off my list of things i never thought i see... Talking about suits while in a printed hoodie is like talking about ferarry while you only drive a ford pinto.
your lack of fashion knowledge is actually laughable, you clearly have no idea who Demna Gvasalia is and think dressing like it’s the 1920s is still ‘stylish’
@@Gallucks yeah, i rather dress up like that in fine wool, made in italy by a tailor and i let you have all the poliester made in some cheep labour country, a garment that is the definition of banality or weird that goes out of style in 2 months or so...
You disagree with their advice because they disagree with a trend, but the GG advises how NOT to follow trends and stick to timeless attire. 2 different audiences.
ROTFLMAO 😂😂😂 This was a great video I loved it! As a 62 year old grandfather I would look and feel ridiculous...in my opinion... dressed in your blog style. You are more for my children and their children. GG is for my generation and at times I enjoy their anecdotes and quips. Personal style is just that, personal which is why you both are successful and have faithful followers. Thanks for the insights!!!
Chill out, not everyone is comfortable in a suit, I am, doesnt matter or worry me what anyone else does or likes, what is your thing is your thing, full stop...
While Im more comfortable in casual looks at the office, I have come across permanent style for ideas on smart casual styling blazers, polos etc and material knowledge in general. I like frugal aesthetics take on style as its find individual style inspos like tech wear streetwear formal etc etc and take individual cues you like then mix them up. Other than that LMAO *grabs popcorn*
Formal tech is fun. Looking sharp while still being very practical at the same time. (Basically formalwear with performance fabrics and very subtle more ergonomic designs) arcteryx veilance and lululemon (for men) do a very good job of this
Welll... Today my day was horrible but then i came here to RUclips and start watching your video and being honest it made me laugh until i started crying tysm joel🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Woah Woah Woah! I'll admit dude is way to stiff about fashion (looking like a Bond villain), but I actually really like wing tips with heavy broguing, especially with modern flares like rubber souls or in gray.
Their channel is actually really good for learning about sartorial style and they have good production quality as well. But other than that I'd never take any fashion advise from them lol
Yes, and they never give fashion advice. They always give classic men advice and what to wear if you want a classic look, HOWEVER how they went about doing that in this video specifically was unacceptable. Can't bring yourself up by tearing someone else down. P.s. I myself am a 23 year old male who likes to dress on the more classy side yet don't look like I belong in the 30s.
@@Mr-R.R. as a 28 year old I definitely relate to your comment. Alas, the tone of the video is far too aggressive and demeaning to differing opinions. In essence, the tone is entirely elitist, a trait that could lose converts to classic menswear.
I watched Sven's video and i generally enjoyed it...yes, Sven went over board on several occasions. I don't think his outfits are hideous or horrendous. He does over use the word 'dapper'. I agree with you that everyone in entitled to their own opinion. I like classic men's style, oh and I'm not 'butthurt'....but thanks for the reaction. Tony
Aren't you from England? England has a big sartorial culture, especially with James Bond. They are also well known for their shoes like Crockett and Jones, Cheanny and Son, and Trickers.
Tbf i actually think some of their videos are pretty nice if you want to just learn because they often go into the history of different brands and clothingpieces
I don't see how middle aged men shouldn't wear backpacks, flipflops and sport jerseys (especially when you're out watching a football game). He's got a brand selling the products he's trying to promote for his "styles" hence these niche videos.
Not necessarily. I’m 19 years old and have been both watching gentleman’s gazette for years and dressing classically for years. The great thing about classic style is that it ages a lot slower than modern trendy style. Men wore suits in the 1930s, and men wear suits today along with other classic style choices. It’s sad to see the toxicity towards people like me who dress a certain way. He clearly stated at the beginning of the video that anyone can wear what they want but immediately bashes very single one of Raphael’s points. It’s not that I try to look like a 30s banker; it’s just what I like to wear just as some men like to wear sweatpants and hoodies. None of it is bad or wrong; we just like different things. I’ve always preached that style is not a one way street. It’s a personal journey and a form of personal expression. If he had any knowledge of GG, he would know this is not the channel to go to for modern fast fashion.
@@Nathan_Wright I'm also 19 and I have a few suits. I usually dress more dapper for more formal events while I usually dress slightly like gallucks on day to day.
@@Nathan_Wright The only reason why people have a problem with that vid is because it completely denies what the wearer wants to wear. If you love wearing suits from the 1930s, thats awesome. But if you tell someone you shouldn't wear something, thats just wrong. No one is in any place to tell someone what they should or shouldn't wear.
@@Nathan_Wright youre totally right,i personally like the 20s and 30s style,but his way of teaching people to clear off something is just way to aggresive,at first he make a good point that you can wear what ever the hell you want,that is a good point,and not meaning to hate it,im still a regular watchers of gg,maybe many in the comments are not want to explore his channel,which is great,just my opinion
Bit late to this video but I think that looking dapper is still a style that any man over 40 should consider dressing. Not to the extent of gentleman’s gazette tho because he seriously looks like he’s on set for Poirot.
Considering how much energy everyone has already devoted to the debate between modern fashion and classic men's fashion i shan't devote much further. With the exception that each person should explore the style they feel most comfortable wearing whether it is modern fast fashion or classic fashion. I personally lean more towards Gentleman's Gazette's style spectrum because after spending most of my 20s wearing fast fashion something finally clicked. I no longer wanted to wear modern clothes that make me look like I'm about to go on expedition or worse yet, wear clothes with too much branding. The latter effectivelt making me pay to be a walking advertisement.
Everything except the shoes/sandals is kind of on point for an adult. You're wearing a graphic hoodie man, you have a very childish sense of what to wear and he has a very old man sense. Your advice is fine for children or people with no real job, and his is fine for office workers, lawyers etc... You would not be allowed in to any bar or restaurant where I live dressed in that hoodie, and he would be welcomed.
To be fair, the square toe shoes he's talking about are kinda different from what fashion designers make, the one he's referring to are from "work clothes' brands that make them, and they usually look like flippers while designers take the silhouette of the shoe into account and add the square toe as a statement of "yeah we know the square toes you see usually suck, but we can make it look cool" which is pretty common in the fashion industry, just like with socks with sandals.
I have a few pair, of Stacey's, Ben Sherman and Fred Perry loafers, that kickass for hackey sack, as well as being suited up, or kilted. Cheers from SpoCanada.
As you and many other people pointed out, this is more of a guide for people who want to learn traditional fasion rules and guidelines. Dont think of this as an attack.
I kinda feel like you missed the point man. The whole perspective of the video is assuming the wearer would normally be wearing a formal wardrobe because that's what the whole channel is about. Some of these are niche pet peeves though.
Gentleman's Gazette is a channel that is made for a very niche audience of people that are huge fans of that classic menswear and they are really against anything that is not related to classic menswear
Yea tbh this channel would be totally ok with like 60k subs, it's nowhere near as toxic as the fake masculinity that is communicated by alpha m and the other tool guy. But having almost 1m subs is just wtf. 🤣
@@hugosantos989 Well, after mr. Jacomet and some other people started working on this kind of content, let us say that classic menswear is experiencing a revival. I suggest you take a look at his "A More Elegant Life" video, which is actually not about fashion, believe it or not.
@@deathcab4oc Yeah they do have a lot of subs but a majority of their newer videos struggle to get more than 100K views, so i really think people subscribe just because of those few very popular videos
I haven’t watched this video yet so I’m not sure if he even brings this up but I think it’s worth mentioning that Sven has since expressed regret about using the word “peasant”.
This is the difference between contemporary trendy fashion and timelss classic menswear. A well cut suit has been a staple of menswear for well over 100 years. They have stood the test of time, and continue to do so. The kind of fashion you feature on your channel will go out of style within 2 or 3 seasons. As much as you think people don't care about classic menswear, even less care about hip fashion trends. The menswear industry in general is dying, with people spending less and less money on their wardrobe every single year. With the emphasis on comfort and casual wear in recent decades, the vast majority of people just don't care about looking good or owning good clothes anymore.
the average definition of chic is stylish and elegant ,I'm not sure if Nike slides and socks falls in the later. gentlemen and classic style "30s" I think you're right he definitely has a niche audience and good advice in that circle, as a guy who wears rags to work and jeans ,Tshirts and sneakers 95% of the time. could you make a video on what to wear at the office, wedding, formal /semi formal NYE or if the bar, pub, club or lounge your goin to has a dress code
I think because I live in south east Asia, so we don’t see sanddles with socks and it,s generally considered as a weird match there because it,s so hot out there, just saddles why socks, you regret it once you go outside 😂
@@Gallucks I agree with u that he dresses like someone from the 1830s but like on ur pinned comment u said ur cool with the gentleman’s gazette, but here u are calling him an asshole
Generally I think Gentlemen's Gazette videos can be interesting, however this one is probably the most ill-mannered one that I have seen. Personally I don't dress like you or Gentlemen's Gazette but I was incredibly disappointed when the video started and he said the lead pipe and asbestos thing. He was correct in saying that you can wear whatever you want today but that is where the sentenced should have ended. Just because he has a preference for clothing style doesn't mean he should push that on everyone. However, that goes both ways. Just because you don't like his style doesn't mean that he should be thought of less than for wanting to dress classically.
I'm a gentleman's gazette subscriber,dress like Bing Crosby,but I think Sven was referring to those who prefer dressing with suits etc. Not people who follow trends.
I feel bad for your spacebar on your laptop each time you paused the video lol. All jokes aside, I enjoyed watching your reaction video and even though I may disagree with you on some comments, it was still very informative and fun to watch. :) p.s, Don't feel bad for everyone who does endorse his channel. The main purpose of the video being direct is to attract people who enjoy dressing that way and turn away those who don't.
🤣 This was awesome I love your reaction videos. My style is a bit of everything so I do have those tan brogues for work🤣.. But mine look better. no air holes 😂
first of all if you’re reading this - thank you for watching my video! before leaving a comment, please remember this is all light hearted fun, me and gentleman’s gazette have spoken in the comments section and we both agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion ✌🏻 also it’s just clothes so please don’t get butthurt ❤️
o, and by the way, the gentalmans gaztte has 1.1 MILION subs. how much do you have again?
@@hillelshlechinger6055 Not everyone wants to dress like it's the 30s either. You must be just like the kid on the debate team I captained in high school who wore a suit even on non-tournament days. You're not classy, you're just a dweeb.
You can't speak for your OWN subs (I know you only have 6) so you have to mooch off of GG's to make your point. I don't make content so I don't need to validate myself in such a way. If you can try to let go of the pretentiousness I might just be nice enough to tell you what the inside of a vagina feels like sometime, dweeb.

Glad we could be of service @Gallucks. You are not the first to react to the video, and I totally get why. We are not about drama, and so reaction videos are not in our repertoire generally, but we will film a reaction video to our own video simply because many things have changed since we filmed it. Maybe you can react to that one too, I'll let you know when it is published 😉 At the end of the day, it is each to his or her own. Find the style you like and roll with it, and don't be afraid to try out new things.
@@cyrusraein6726 I don't think hes really insulting Joel's style. He's just admitting that his style is different than Joel's and that his own video needs to be updated. His style is more old school/ business wear while Joel's style is more youthful and trendy. Both work it just depends on what style you want to wear, your age, the environment you are in, and what makes you comfortable.
@@Randall1539 He implied that Joel's style has less quality and is more of quantity and I totally disagree.
@@gentlemansgazette dont imply that trends (thus Joel) dont have quality if you're not here for drama. If anything, your fashion is the reflection of an outdated time period. Instead of dressing for others, we dress for ourselves here as a reflection of what society is today.
So if you're saying your historic 1930s way of dressing is more quality than today's trends, I would agree if we'd both value it in a museum.
@@mpanini5694 I did not say anything about Joel or his style, I just said who we are.
@@mpanini5694 I think by quality he means how the clothing is constructed. A lot of the fast clothing made nowadays won't last nearly as long as vintage clothes have because they aren't meant to last forever. Its made cheaper so that it can be produced quicker and cheaper and more people can buy it. That doesn't make it bad. Just not as long lasting. And most trends won't be in fashion in 5-10 years. But some things are classic in the sense that they will be less likely to be out of style in a few years. For instance a basic pair of dark blue jeans in a slim fit or slim straight (basically a style that fits your body type but isn't either really tight or really loose) has been a staple of menswear for decades and probably won't be out of style anytime soon. But the super skinny jeans of the early 2000s or the bootcut bell bottoms of the 70s are more likely to go out of fashion because they are more interesting and eye catching. I think the best thing is to just find whatever works for u. I like some aspects of the gentlemans gazettes style when it comes to textures and suiting. Other things I dont prefer like a looser fit or pleats. And I like gallucks style as well although I wouldn't wear a lot of it because I'm not huge into streetwear. But I do like how he incorporates designer clothing and trends into his clothing. Especially his use of boots. Its all interesting entertainment to me. I actually didn't know about this channel before this video but im subscribing now because he seems cool
To be fair, the things he mentioned are good tips for the specific people who are into that kind of attire and that's who his videos are targeted towards lol (he was being very harsh though lol)
he called people douchebags for wearing sandals lmao he can go straight in the bin
Phillip Wilson I’m not an asshole, he was literally an asshole.
Phillip Wilson he was calling people douchebags for wearing sandals?
@@VarietyShow so if i said to you "you look like a douchebag" but not "you are a douchebag" thats ok? mate come off it. Saying he thinks wearing sandals makes you looking like a douchebag is still a dick thing to say
Variety Show you sound like a douchebag
This was hilarious to watch yet also a bit cringy. It's like a video gamer critiquing a professional card player or billiards player on how serious they take their skill.
You're on two different planets. Ralph focuses only on traditional and proper gentleman's attire. He isn't the least bit interested in "vibing." He is teaching high and classic men's fashion and the fact that you said that nobody is trying to look like this since 5 years ago shows how much You're not on the same page. His focus is on timeless gentleman's fashion, not the trendy hipster shit that encourages platform sandals. (Though arpagadas are ugly)
Why the hell was this channel recommended.
*His focus is on timeless gentleman's fashion*
And yet classic style icons like Marlon Brando, James Dean, Paul Newman, and Steve McQueen will be considered "peasants" if we follow his criteria. In fact, anyone who's frequently dressed down, have professions on the same level as peasants or car salesmen, and who think Mens Wearhouse is too expensive, will be excluded from his idea of a "gentleman". Let's also see who can lift the most out of Raphael and people like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, The Rock, and Jeff Caveliere
It was like seeing a dad and his son debating over style. The dad giving his arguments and the son going "pffff" 🤣
Everything you say is TREND, TREND, TREND. The gentleman's gazette is dedicated to classic menswear backed by facts and history. The suit is a garment that has been in menswear for centuries. Graphic t-shirts and other trends that you support, have only recently come into popularity but go in and out of style decade after decade, further showing that they are nothing more than just that, TRENDS that have no solid foundation. And proof of that is on the world around you. If you went for a job interview in your hoodie vs. a suit you wouldn't come out ahead. Thats all being said, as Raphael said in this Era people wear whatever they want and don't care about their appearance, so feel free to wear what you want. You continually criticized him based on things you precise as "cool" or "trendy" which is a very closed minded view point.
My point is further derived by the fact that his video has over 2 million views and yours has 27 thousands.
I’m gonna let you think about what you said and come back to me when you no longer have worms for brains.
Trends are better than timeless!!!!!!!!!
- brainless human
@@Gallucks It's not brain worms, he's telling the truth. GG is about classic style that is timeless, and what he says about the job interview is true. I think it just comes down to target demographic. GG's target audience isn't teenagers, their content is for people who want to look professional and also invest in quality garments that last for many years. Anybody can just look at trends ("nobody wants this!") and have a superficial opinion of what looks good, but a GG's content often delves into the functional purpose and history of the articles they discuss as well, eg. only wearing flip flops at the beach, because you don't need the ease of taking them on and off when you're at a restaurant. The sheer depth of information they provide is why people watch their videos, there is more to it than just saying "sandals are a vibe" and referencing what Kanye is wearing because a lot of times that stuff looks awful unless perfectly executed and will be out of style in 5 years or so.
@@Gallucks Aside from what he said in the replies, he is correct tho. So maybe instead of overgazing the argument, reply to it. And if you think he is correct, just admit it.
Greetings from a Gentleman's Gazette subscriber (only 20 years of age). I think it's worth pointing out that this has been Sven's most devisive video (note the like-to-dislike ratio). Most often he isn't this harsh in his language usage, and also uses other words besides 'dapper'. The premise of the channel is to serve the very small minority of people who are invested in classical mens style, he is not advocating that everyone adheres to these guidelines. In their respected field GG reign supreme on RUclips and provide knowledge that is hard to come by elsewhere. Some of the advise is admittedly somwhat antiquated, but nonetheless GG provides a nice contrast to the dress-down culture that has been prevalent the last couple of decades.
Ty for letting me know that!
Heriberto Castro The way it is a Niche and not a Masses’ channel already makes it a better place to be in.
Greeting back from another gentleman‘s subscriber, I am also one of the younger people and really enjoy wearing suits, ties (neck and bow ties), pocket squeaks, leather dress shoes and pleated pants.
I know some people think that dressing like in the 30s is to formal, but as we all know it is better to be overdressed as to be underdressed.
Chiming in as another 20 something year old GG subscriber. The content of the channel is usually quite inclusive but this video in particular is quite harsh. As someone who is the first in my family to graduate from a university and first to have a professional carer, my family and I were incredibly excited to assemble a professional attire. I dress up for work because I am proud of what I have manage to and continue to accomplish.
Dressing up is perfectly fine and very much a man thing(vs boys), the problem with Sven is that he literally looks like shit and nothing fits him well yet he's pretending he's well dressed and knows what's going on.
This is amazing, it’s like a clash of cultures that just don’t understand each other on a fundamental level. I tend to side with the Gentleman’s Gazette here because I really like the type of style he promotes (though I don’t often wear suits), but I can see some of your points. At the same time, the things you show as counter examples are profoundly ugly to me and I have the opposite reaction to yours when I see well-made, brogued leather shoes. And, no, I’m neither old (27) nor am I forced to dress a certain way at work.
Every pieces of clothes he wears and advocates for will look dated, even to him, in less than a decade. Its like seeing a fashion designer in the 70s acclaiming elephants legs pants will look great forever.
@@gallowpole9455 Great point
You should do a style swap with this man. I would pay to watch that video. 😂
He should collab with channels he reacts to
No Raphael wouldn’t even entertain that 😂😂, but yes I agree
LMAOOO X2
I keep imagining that guy in one of Joel's outfits especially the schoolboy ones and I can't stop laughing 💀💀💀 🤣🤣
*spits out drink*
I died laughing at the alpargatas reaction. 😂. Seriously. The best response ever.
idk why but the part where you looked up the definition of dapper and just said okay was so funny
Gentlemen's Gazette is about dressing as a gentleman in a classic style. It's not about age. Gallucks is great, but it's more trendy fad than anything else, and that's perfectly fine. There will always be men who are boys, and men who are men. I commend Gallucks for choosing his own path, and I support his right to do so. There's nothing wrong with it at all.
My problem with the original video is how the phrase the title and the wording throughout the video. Rather then being specifically about that type of style they phrase it as things you should never wear. I think that leaves the wrong impression in people cause the video is actively telling them that they can’t wear those clothes not that those clothes don’t particularly go with that specific style.
Yeah I mean u can always dress classical, even in 50 years. Gallucks probably doesnt like the styles he wears next year. Fast fashion isnt cool.
@@Alenator-pq9wf Impression on who? I am soo sick of this snowflake generation masquerading as adults these days it a youtube video click off. If a video of someones personal opinion triggers you then you are whats wrong with this society! Gentleman Gazette is expressively for helping men dress more dapper and smart, The video is not for all men its specifically for men who are looking to learn what to consider not wearing to look better in tat SPECIFIC style! Its not for people who want to dress trendy (And i can find many videos from young people who dress trendy with titles like "Don't wear this..." "things you should never pair together..." Does that offend You? People are gonna say things you don't like deal with it!
@@Alenator-pq9wf it's an old video, to which he reacted and said it had harsh language and all
@@denroybercier Even though I'm 16, I can't agreee enough with you, sir
Those alpagratas or w/e are the ugliest shoes i’ve ever seen in my whole entire life and I e not even lived it all yet. It’s so strange how, whats considered stylish by these men is very old fashioned 1930’s -
50’s type of smart clothes. It’s like saying the correct way for women to dress is in dresses and kitten hills and petticoats 🙄
Omg James yes ☕️😂 like we don’t all want to look like we’re in Peaky Blinders?!?!
@@Gallucks if he was a character in peaky blinders he'd probably get beaten up lol
@@alexflores4458 true, but the point of those shoes is that they're ugly; they're gaudy and rude and overly chunky on purpose to the point where it's almost indulgent.
Where Margiela sneakers might be daringly ugly, afrogatos or whatever are like what you'd wear if you wanted awful ugly shoes AND you wanted to be a pussy about it.
The creators of the channel and website are very aware of this. They specialize in (classic men’s style) which is based on the golden age of menswear. If you’re into modern style then this isn’t the channel to watch. They do however provide good content for people who like to dress very formally in suits very often and own a classic wardrobe. They likewise have wonderful black tie and white tie content for those who attend semiformal and formal occasions often.
The problem is when you tell it as if "its the only way" to look dapper. For men over the age of 40, who want to dress more 'mature', you can still look dapper and MODERN at the same time. You don't have to look out of time!
trends & fads wouldn't even know what they are
traditions & true classics
never go out of style
womp womp
@@Gallucks to me the soundtrack of all of your opinions shared in this video is just the classic sad trombone sound effect….
Not gonna lie , l agree with G.G on the Sandals & Socks combo , l think that they look goofy as hell.
liking your own comment, nice 😉
This whole video is infuriating to watch. You call him bitter, overly critical and unknowing for talking about a subject within his expertise, yet you're reacting with gag signs, calling him old, saying "no one ever does this" and disregarding every point he makes. Talk about hypocrisy.
What I mean by his subject of expertise is the style of classic men's clothing, which is what the video you're reacting to is all about. Like he says in the video, you CAN do whatever you want which is becoming the norm today, and at the same time you can inhale asbestos or dress up as an emo 12 year old as you seem to do calling yourself a fashion stylist, but that doesn't mean you should if you want to be respected.
I wouldn't be nearly as critical towards a video like this, no matter how whether it contradicts to my opinions or not, if you didn't behave like such a jackass while expressing yours. Especially how the video is aimed towards those who do want to dress up like that, hence why the video is published on a vintage men's fashion channel called "Gentleman's Gazette" and not "objective facts everyone should follow". If you aren't interested in the subject the video is about, don't watch it. What you're doing here can be compared to going to a fancy restaurant, ordering a fancy wine and then spitting it out yelling "I HATE WINE!" Just don't order the wine then. And you especially don't have to insult the waiter afterwards.
There is also no point in beginning the video saying you're a "huge advocate for wearing whatever makes you happy" when you behave like that for the rest of the video.
A tip for you is to revisit the channel and watch some of their videos on improving personality and conversation, as it's apparent how much you have to learn about that.
On a last note, asking "who would even do anything like this" while noting repeatedly how it has two million views just answers your own question.
i aint reading all that,
i'm happy for u tho
or sorry that happened
I'm in my mid fifties. I grew up in NYC Brooklyn and queens in the golden era of what some people call hip hop culture in fact I remember when it all started. I appreciate the gentleman's gazette for their knowledge of the origins of men's classic fashion. I grew up watching pimps, hustlers, and gangsters real street players and how they dressed. Society has changed in the last few decades and we now have a more free spirited approach to fashion now. I like to think that I'm one of the most versatile individuals ever. I might Ware a tshirt a pair of military shorts with a pair of construction timberlands and a new era yankee fitted hat. The next day depending on my particular endeavor I might Ware a bespoke three piece suit no belt just suspenders custom made shirt silk tie white pocket square (TV fold) and carnation in the lapel with black whole cut oxfords. My point is that I can go to any street corner in any hood and be like what up what's good or I can sit in on a board meeting and fit in with the top executives. A lot of the styles now are just straight goofy and anti masculine. The trained eye can detect quality over bullshit. Once again big shout out to gentleman's gazette from Brooklyn NYC we fucks wit you .

@@GallucksDude it's just an old guy wanting to express himself, what's wrong with you😭😭

Watching this video is like listening my friends' opinion about a lo fi, jazz or classical song: They say that is not cool just because it doesn't sound like the trap music which they usually listen and now is on trend in italy.
Well put! It's not because it's new that it's better.
@@viictor1309 so, why?
@@LoscoX I was agreeing with you. But if you ask why, it's mostly for the craftsmanship everything had, the attention to be good and not just getting comfortable with what is miserable and making it popular and pass off as good; less chaotic times, stronger people in general.... But I'm not saying it's good just because it's older and traditional either, a lot of things improved over time.
@@viictor1309 yes, just I read too fast the comment and understood wrongly the opposite.

Something that has been a trend in fashion for a long time is being self-aware / meta, so when he says "you look immature" or "you look like a school boy" like yeah thats the point, its that aesthetic but elevated. On the other side of the same coin, something that is also very popular is taking smart wear like blazers and making them casual or even distressed. Idk much about "dapper" fashion styles but maybe these trends just don't translate? What i think is so popular about streetwear and high fashion is being able to take different elements of different styles and converging them, bending the rules to make something unique, but dapper style is a set of rules that can't be broken; personal styles may still exist but all the elements of the outfit are from within the same bubble in fashion.
I am in my 50s. Son, you are polar opposites of those living on this earth for more than 4 decades. Lost me 56 seconds in while wearing a sweatshirt then conversing in the topic of "style".
God Bless.
no worries grandpa x
I really like this video since it presents such opposites in fashion sense. I'm am currently more casual and street wear leaning due to just not really having anywhere to wear formal stuff, but as someone interested in formal wear I have watched quite a few GG videos. I like how Gallucks does point out that not many people want to wear formal stuff anymore, which is valid, but I also really like the fact that he never tries to find common ground at all. it's genuinely fun to see.
"It is for is strange, weir style" it is simply called classic style and there are still people that like dressing that way even in their freetime and not only at the office. I understand that he was a little aggressive in this video, but there's no reason to offend a style that other people like saying that it is weird or strange.
And also "no one wants to dress that way" is a statement that looks a bit childish, since you or the people around you don't want to dress like that it doesn't mean that NO ONE wants to.
ok boomer 👌🏻
@@Gallucks I'm not a boomer, since I'm 18, and I don't dress that style, maybe when I'll work, but not now. Respect isn't for boomer.

Yes, and they never give fashion advice. They always give classic men advice and what to wear if you want a classic look, HOWEVER how they went about doing that in this video specifically was unacceptable. Can't bring yourself up by tearing someone else down.

The gentleman's Gazette is for more middle aged people so ofcourse it isn't your style
I don't see how middle aged men shouldn't wear backpacks, flipflops and sport jerseys (especially when you're out watching a football game). He's got a brand selling the products he's trying to promote for his "styles" hence these niche videos.
Not necessarily. I’m 19 years old and have been both watching gentleman’s gazette for years and dressing classically for years. The great thing about classic style is that it ages a lot slower than modern trendy style. Men wore suits in the 1930s, and men wear suits today along with other classic style choices. It’s sad to see the toxicity towards people like me who dress a certain way. He clearly stated at the beginning of the video that anyone can wear what they want but immediately bashes very single one of Raphael’s points. It’s not that I try to look like a 30s banker; it’s just what I like to wear just as some men like to wear sweatpants and hoodies. None of it is bad or wrong; we just like different things. I’ve always preached that style is not a one way street. It’s a personal journey and a form of personal expression. If he had any knowledge of GG, he would know this is not the channel to go to for modern fast fashion.
@@Nathan_Wright I'm also 19 and I have a few suits. I usually dress more dapper for more formal events while I usually dress slightly like gallucks on day to day.
@@Nathan_Wright The only reason why people have a problem with that vid is because it completely denies what the wearer wants to wear. If you love wearing suits from the 1930s, thats awesome. But if you tell someone you shouldn't wear something, thats just wrong. No one is in any place to tell someone what they should or shouldn't wear.
@@Nathan_Wright youre totally right,i personally like the 20s and 30s style,but his way of teaching people to clear off something is just way to aggresive,at first he make a good point that you can wear what ever the hell you want,that is a good point,and not meaning to hate it,im still a regular watchers of gg,maybe many in the comments are not want to explore his channel,which is great,just my opinion

I stopped watching when you said sandals with socks looked stylish...
Bit late to this video but I think that looking dapper is still a style that any man over 40 should consider dressing. Not to the extent of gentleman’s gazette tho because he seriously looks like he’s on set for Poirot.
Considering how much energy everyone has already devoted to the debate between modern fashion and classic men's fashion i shan't devote much further. With the exception that each person should explore the style they feel most comfortable wearing whether it is modern fast fashion or classic fashion. I personally lean more towards Gentleman's Gazette's style spectrum because after spending most of my 20s wearing fast fashion something finally clicked. I no longer wanted to wear modern clothes that make me look like I'm about to go on expedition or worse yet, wear clothes with too much branding. The latter effectivelt making me pay to be a walking advertisement.
Everything except the shoes/sandals is kind of on point for an adult. You're wearing a graphic hoodie man, you have a very childish sense of what to wear and he has a very old man sense. Your advice is fine for children or people with no real job, and his is fine for office workers, lawyers etc... You would not be allowed in to any bar or restaurant where I live dressed in that hoodie, and he would be welcomed.
he looks like peewee Herman, times have changed bro, it’s not the 1920s anymore
I’ll listen to GG when I’m looking for a certain look. But any type of streetwear, younger vibe I would not look to them.
Never take advice frim someone wearing a hoodie... or flip-flops.
That dude belongs 1940s
That’s the point. That’s the niche he appeals to-people who like classic men’s wear (20s-50s). His videos also aren’t usually this harsh.
To be fair, the square toe shoes he's talking about are kinda different from what fashion designers make, the one he's referring to are from "work clothes' brands that make them, and they usually look like flippers while designers take the silhouette of the shoe into account and add the square toe as a statement of "yeah we know the square toes you see usually suck, but we can make it look cool" which is pretty common in the fashion industry, just like with socks with sandals.
I have a few pair, of Stacey's, Ben Sherman and Fred Perry loafers, that kickass for hackey sack, as well as being suited up, or kilted. Cheers from SpoCanada.

He has a ultra-conservative classic mens style, while you seem to have more of a ultra-trendy street style. It's quite an interesting contrast.
Yas Joel firing back, I got soo angry too 😂 I’m offended I always wear socks with slides
It’s just comedy at this point 😂
I thought only germans do this.
I don't know, socks and sandals are quintessential DTP.
As you and many other people pointed out, this is more of a guide for people who want to learn traditional fasion rules and guidelines. Dont think of this as an attack.
I kinda feel like you missed the point man. The whole perspective of the video is assuming the wearer would normally be wearing a formal wardrobe because that's what the whole channel is about. Some of these are niche pet peeves though.
if you think that i missed the point then i think it’s you who missed the point of my video 😬
@@Gallucks so you're never wrong and others are wrong for pointing out your mistakes?
@@imnithinpaul05 I didn’t make a mistake? you clearly don’t understand reaction videos.....
Funniest reaction yet 🤣🤣🤣
Gentleman's Gazette is a channel that is made for a very niche audience of people that are huge fans of that classic menswear and they are really against anything that is not related to classic menswear
What's weird is how these very niche subgenres have so many views, it's like the algorithm favours it for some kind of reason.
Yea tbh this channel would be totally ok with like 60k subs, it's nowhere near as toxic as the fake masculinity that is communicated by alpha m and the other tool guy. But having almost 1m subs is just wtf. 🤣
@@hugosantos989 Well, after mr. Jacomet and some other people started working on this kind of content, let us say that classic menswear is experiencing a revival. I suggest you take a look at his "A More Elegant Life" video, which is actually not about fashion, believe it or not.
@@deathcab4oc Very true, most men online just go looking for this alpha nonsense.
@@deathcab4oc Yeah they do have a lot of subs but a majority of their newer videos struggle to get more than 100K views, so i really think people subscribe just because of those few very popular videos
I haven’t watched this video yet so I’m not sure if he even brings this up but I think it’s worth mentioning that Sven has since expressed regret about using the word “peasant”.
I loved it :) !
Thank you!
This is the difference between contemporary trendy fashion and timelss classic menswear.
A well cut suit has been a staple of menswear for well over 100 years. They have stood the test of time, and continue to do so.
The kind of fashion you feature on your channel will go out of style within 2 or 3 seasons.
As much as you think people don't care about classic menswear, even less care about hip fashion trends. The menswear industry in general is dying, with people spending less and less money on their wardrobe every single year. With the emphasis on comfort and casual wear in recent decades, the vast majority of people just don't care about looking good or owning good clothes anymore.
yawn
@@Gallucks Good Argument.
@@Galluckswow, what amazing debate skills! 🙄
My dad always steal my flip flops 😂😂🤣
lmaoooo he is neither dapper nor elegant (apparently)
@@Gallucks 😂😂he is a boomer geek
the average definition of chic is stylish and elegant ,I'm not sure if Nike slides and socks falls in the later. gentlemen and classic style "30s" I think you're right he definitely has a niche audience and good advice in that circle, as a guy who wears rags to work and jeans ,Tshirts and sneakers 95% of the time. could you make a video on what to wear at the office, wedding, formal /semi formal NYE or if the bar, pub, club or lounge your goin to has a dress code
This guy is this 50 y/o american butler who has never broken a rule ore law in his entire life lmao
I think because I live in south east Asia, so we don’t see sanddles with socks and it,s generally considered as a weird match there because it,s so hot out there, just saddles why socks, you regret it once you go outside 😂
Watch him see this video and invite you to his 1920s themed ball
I'd have to pick up a slick 3 piece suit and some witches shoes!
business attire never gets old just timeless.
youre so brave to finish the entire video. For the first 10 sec I already know that I will disagree with everything.
Not everyone wants to be dapper, but also not everyone wants to look like a hype beast. GG makes good points as well and it’s better to be diverse.
GG sounds like an arsehole though 😂
@@Gallucks I agree with u that he dresses like someone from the 1830s but like on ur pinned comment u said ur cool with the gentleman’s gazette, but here u are calling him an asshole
Generally I think Gentlemen's Gazette videos can be interesting, however this one is probably the most ill-mannered one that I have seen. Personally I don't dress like you or Gentlemen's Gazette but I was incredibly disappointed when the video started and he said the lead pipe and asbestos thing. He was correct in saying that you can wear whatever you want today but that is where the sentenced should have ended. Just because he has a preference for clothing style doesn't mean he should push that on everyone. However, that goes both ways. Just because you don't like his style doesn't mean that he should be thought of less than for wanting to dress classically.
I'm a gentleman's gazette subscriber,dress like Bing Crosby,but I think Sven was referring to those who prefer dressing with suits etc. Not people who follow trends.
Wait... So you're telling me this isn't a comedy channel making parodies of fashion content creators?
100% genuine lmao
I feel bad for your spacebar on your laptop each time you paused the video lol. All jokes aside, I enjoyed watching your reaction video and even though I may disagree with you on some comments, it was still very informative and fun to watch. :) p.s, Don't feel bad for everyone who does endorse his channel. The main purpose of the video being direct is to attract people who enjoy dressing that way and turn away those who don't.
Always look forward to your new uploads ! I trust and love your fashion sense 👍🏻
Thank you ❤️
he wears oversized hoodies why do u trust his sense?
Nothing less manly than not wearing something because someone on the internet said so.
🤣 This was awesome I love your reaction videos. My style is a bit of everything so I do have those tan brogues for work🤣.. But mine look better. no air holes 😂
Haha 🙊 I’m sure they’re better than anything he showed 😂
“Because it’s all garbage” 😂😂
oooop!
