This channel and Vladimir Riche help me so much. I’m 50 and am finally ready for any occasion. I am 100% of the time the best dressed in the room, and it’s a huge confidence booster.
After losing a lot of weight I needed to buy a new wardrobe. Then by chance I stumbled on to a video from Gentleman's Gazette and then I binged watched. With that inspiration and from that point I knew what my new style would be. The guidance is great and it helps the average man find his way. I can finally look like the gentleman I have always been inside. This channel has been amazingly validating. I especially love how you embrace thrift shopping which is something I have always done. Many of my ideas about more classic fashion were spot on without me realizing it but then I am old enough to remember seeing dapper gents who grew up in the 30s 40s and 50s. Now I own that style. I am 62, and I've never looked or felt better in my life. Thank you!
In the south ,we call it, a marrying and burying suit, everyone needs one. Every couple of years make sure to check the fit. I keep a dark gray suit in the ready as well as a navy blazer.
Regarding quality versus quantity, my advice is to only buy one really nice piece be shoes, a suit, a jacket per year while buying affordable stuff to fill out gour wardrobe. As you eliminate the cheap pieces year after year, keeping the good stuff, after about 10 years, you'll have 10 nice pieces of everything. Now if only I had done that when I was 25. 🤔
i've loved the gentleman's gazette for a while, but now that i'll be starting my career as a funeral director, these videos will be incredibly helpful for building my work wardrobe!! i'd love if there was a video about options for more petit builds and easily cleaned clothing!
Can you talk about how to find quality cost effective clothes and shoes for people who are unusually large or unusually small? Maybe talk about brands that have extended sizing options?
Glad to hear you enjoy Oxford as a fragrance! Due to the higher quality, you don't need to use it as much, therefore a bottle lasts much longer and reduces the cost per use
In my country there is no decent used market (people throw everything old away thinking it's junk) and no quality workshops remaining to go bespoke. Thus I've come to rely on these terrible fast fashion stores to get my clothes. Turns out, you can find very well fitting and high quality clothing if you look hard enough. I've built up a small, but decent collection of quality jackets, pants, shirts, hats, shoes and so on that cost very little. Even the shoes and boots are of high quality leather, shine up nicely and have good quality soles and beautiful classic designs. It's all about searching hard enough. And honestly? I really like it. The clothes are proving to be very durable and the price tag ensures that I don't have any remorse abusing them, I can be as adventurous as I want while dressing exactly how I want. It appears that clothes once worn by working class people at all kinds of workplaces are in fact still viable for working class people.
It's the clothes that count (and how you were them). Forget labels. Forget how cheap or expensive they were. Learn a few sewing skills so you can alter things yourself. If you look after them carefully, they will look after you. Clothes have no 'class', at least not these days; and I think anyone that believed any person was better than another on the basis of their income was a snob and an idiot. (Unfortunately there's still a lot of snobs and idiots). I'm sure you are better dressed than most of the people around you just because you think about what you are wearing.
Great tips here as always. To every man who compliments me on my outfit or style, I give this channel the bulk of the credit and recommend Gentleman's Gazette to them, just as I was many years ago by a well-dressed roommate of mine. This was one of the first channels I subscribed to and still watch regularly because it still delivers the goods. Thanks, GG!
I would love to find a set of glasses frames like Jack Collin’s wears. They look great with a tuxedo and they seem to fit the formal feeling. Any chance of him coming to my aid in finding them? Just for the record, I am in a tux or suit just about every day because I love dressing up. And yes it does include Sunday church. Bow ties are my preference for neck wear.
Don’t be afraid to be judged by anothers, whatever you live you always can increase your wardrobe, who reflects your personality, just do it! step by step!
The aspiring gentlemen ought to be first and for most exploring classic moral philosophy prior to modernist fashion styles for this gives authentic style and freedoms.
You guys always give the best advice. But i would like to know what brands there are online that implements classic style (other than the gentlemen'z gazette store) because as someone that lives in a country with non existent classic style, I would also like to be able to wear good clothes.
Hi Ivan - Love your videos and this was no exception. Well done. But for your outfit I would say you were very "classic menswear" on the top half (the top shown for the majority of the video) with your houndstooth sports jacket, polo shirt and pocket square. However your lower half (denim and NO SOCKS!) along with the multiple silver necklaces don't really say "classic menswear", at least not to me. The watch definitely went well with the jacket. Keep up the great work.
A few years from now, we'll look back at the no socks trend with the same amount of cringe and disdain that we express toward men's bell bottoms. It simply is unbecoming of a gentleman.
Hello, I would be interested in the GG team's opinion on how to dress up as an adolescent, for, because of the fast-growing characteristic of this age, investing in clothing with a high price is not viable. Yours sincerely, Gabriel.
Here’s my advice: 1. EBay, thrift stores, and even thrift stores can have hidden gems for a good price. 2. Don’t worry too much about buying pieces now. My body changed quite a bit in my early 20s and I had a closet full of dress shirts and suits that no longer fit. 3. Use this time to educate yourself and choose your style so that when you can afford it, you already know what you like and don’t like.
People often make the mistake of assuming that, once they stop increasing in height, that they've stopped growing. Many men don't get their full breadth of chest, shoulder and hips until they're in their early twenties. Until then don't spend too much for formal suits. Remember that classic fashion is more that just the power suit. Some khaki or flannel pants with a dress shirt, tie and sweater might be a better starting look all though that might get you bullied if you wore it to a public high school;). If you're still growing take advantage of the time that gives you to do some research. Do a Google Images search for some old school fashion icons like Cary Grant and Steve McQueen and you can start to get a feel for what they were wearing 50 years ago that still looks good today. One area were you could start spending money while in your late teens would be quality shoes like Oxfords and brogues or Chelsea boots as your feet usually stabilize earlier than the rest of your body. You could also start checking thrift stores for accessories like ties, belts and some jewelry like rings or cuff links. A quality watch is another good long term investment but do your research as they can be expensive and there are a lot of overpriced and gaudy pieces out there. Again, if you go to a public school, don't wear anything too flashy as it's a good way to get mugged. Whatever you buy make sure you're taking care of your physical appearance as well. You don't have to go for a "chiseled" body and manicure but steering clear of junk food and doing some moderate exercise will probably have a bigger impact on your appearance in your teen years than formal clothing. Keep your hair neat (as in properly trimmed and brushed) and I'd say either shave daily or grow an actual beard rather than going for the permanent stubble look. No one likes a man that can't make up his mind;). Probably the best of advice I can offer to a young man though is don't buy anything you see in a fashion magazine. Fashion is designed by companies with planned obsolescence in mind and people will usually be laughing at anyone wearing it within a couple of years.
I will second what @Charlie-zh7yd said. 1. You should find a greater selection of good eBay and thrift store options, since people your age/size tend to outgrow their clothes on a regular basis. Look for pieces that you really like, and that are offered at a really good price. Don't be afraid to keep waiting until you find the right piece that meets those criteria. 2. You also want to go for *low quantity,* since that will increase the number of wears you get before you outgrow each piece. One nice shirt. One pair of slacks. One jacket. Et cetera. 3. You could also consider teaching yourself how to do simple alterations on your clothes. That will allow you to maintain a good fit while saving on the cost of a tailor. There are lots of online tutorials, if that path interests you. 4. For long-term planning, start building healthy habits now. Eat healthy and get into the habit of exercising. It is a lot easier to find clothing that fits if your body is reasonably fit. You don't have to become a body builder, and you definitely don't want to become anorexic. But it's easier to maintain a lifetime of healthy habits, rather than trying to start them much later in life. In addition, there are a lot of extra benefits that come from being healthy. Good luck.
I put suits into three categories, the first you should not wear. 1. Outdated suits. 2. Suits for the office. 3. Suits for enjoyment-seeing a show; going to a nice dinner; meeting Gentleman's Gazette, Gent Z, The Chaps Guide, and RMRS all in the same room. ;)
There are good examples of ones you shouldn't wear, but some so called "Outdated suits" are still possible to be worn well if done properly. One example is the youtuber Antique Menswear, who wears high-buttoning 1800s suit with starched collars, but it's his style, and he looks good in it.
Heavily disagree with the first one. Because I do agree with your mentions of: 1. Our style will likely change as we develop it and experiment. 2. Mistakes will be made. If you're just starting out and you invest in a quality piece, the likelihood that you will actually get a good cost-per-wear out of it are relatively low as there's a decent chance you'll stop wearing it for one reason or another. Yes it's a fantastic piece but it's gathering dust in your closet. Bad investment. Better to go for quantity first (preferably second-hand) until you have a better idea of what you both like and use, and then go for quality.
True - as a broke college student I think more fitting advice is to generally slow down and think a purchase through even if it isn't super high-quality. I'll buy something as cheap as I can, and if I love it and wear it until it falls apart, it would make more sense to spend more money on a similar item than to immediately try and invest in something I might not like as much in a few years
Point one more directly relates to avoiding purchasing a bulk of clothing all in one go. It can be tempting, especially with fast-fashion prices, to try and buy a whole wardrobe in one go rather than gently accumulating pieces that you really care about and actually want to wear
@@gentlemansgazette Ah now I get it! Yeah that makes sense, if you buy 20 things in style Y but then your style shifts you have 20 things to throw out. I believe the key distinction in your sentence are "in one go" vs "accumulating". From that perspective the advice would be for people just starting out initially: Focus on variation over both quality and quantity. Buy a few experiments on a budget (second-hand or fast-fashion), give it some time to try out, and then you know for sure whether you want to invest in a quality piece of something or if it's not your thing after all and then you're down just a few cheaper pieces. I'm definitely guilty of going too fast and buying too much of something I've gone back on later. So you don't want quantity in that sense. The quantity I was thinking of is better described as different types of colors, fabrics, weaves, fits, etc.
Hey, I am 14 year old teen from India And I like vintage Style very much But Whenever I want to dress like you I am very Insecure about People what they think about me , my relatives also laugh at me when I dress this. I loss my confidence 😢 Help me plzz.
@@Dave0G Nah. I'm saying start with stuff off the rack and as it wears out, you've been saving to sub it with quality timeless taylored pieces. Nothing wrong with a brooks brothers suit to start. Also helps change your mindset as you get started. People treat you different.
I have been a big fan of the gentleman's gazette for a while now but have found myself watching fewer videos recently due to this new host. He simply lacks the oratory ability for this role, he also seems to be getting much more screen time than other long time hosts. I understand that this individual has passion, but this is obviously not something he excels in. Each must find their niche
@GooslinFitness I quest like the other 2 hosts they commonly have one, although their names escape me. They both offer unique takes and have narration that is in like with the style of the Gentleman's gazzette. This host simply isn't very good at narration
Could be! Linen would tend to be more of a warm weather jacket. It can be cooler to wear, but also more prone to wrinkles. Linen blends winkle a little less than straight linen. 🎉 The cut of the jacket would be more important to me... For example I have a linen blazer that is pretty cheaply made and fits like a bag and looks kinda informal that I don't really like it wear much anymore, but I have another linen blend jacket with a much cleaner cut and more structure that I love and wore in heavy rotation over the summer.
Well done! Is good to see that you have a Latino person in your channel. Now you guys have the chance to reach Latino people. I guess you have reached anyway. Now go to the next step. Make more videos in spanish. Don't do what other people do. Specifically one that only makes videos in English, even he is Latino.
The ethnicity of the presenter has NOTHING to do with whether people will watch or not. I'm sure they reached MANY latino viewers (and black viewers, and indian viewers), even when it was just Raphael and Preston doing the presenting. The content is what matters, not the makeup of the presenter.
Yeah, so about the shoes. You guys should make a series on finding shoes for those of us with wide feet. I wear a 13 extra wide. It's probably impossible for me to find dress shoes unless I get them custom made. Plus I can't have any heel to toe drop or it hurts my knees.
The Cost-Per-Wear thing is not an automatic equation, just as the Capsule Wardrobe thing doesn't work quite really the same for men as women, etc. Sometimes you need to get a bunch of new clothes about all at once, and then don't beat yourself up too much if they're not all top quality or the best fit................
Who is the very handsome black gentleman that I've seen in white tie and also a kilt now ? If he's confident enough maybe he should get a run out on the channel as well.
@@gentlemansgazette Pass on my compliments. Job has the build for a kilt ... sorry Preston, you look great in anything you wear, but please stay away from the kilt🤣
Can't agree, he's getting more relaxed as he goes. He brings a different vibe to the channel; which I'm sure is the company policy. I politely completely disagree that he has a 'lack of interest' or a 'poor speaking cadence'. He's friendly, clear, concise and well spoken. You may have your personal favourites ... but a gentleman would not express such an opinion, openly.
Viewers of this channel will never cease to amaze with their ridiculous opinions. People have said the same about every new host. They're not gonna fire him because of one comment.
@@YakubibnEsau Sadly true. Appearance over substance has become the norm. This channel does, however, provide great information about fabrics, construction, and care, so I'll keep watching.
Brand is more important than construction method especially for shoes. The second one is more about marketing and low quality producers use that. Practically speaking, one method can mean absolutely different quality. For ex., Meermen uses GW but the leather of upper will tear faster than shoes are fall apart. But brand means understandable quality in particular price segment. So, the more smart advice is to avoid fashion brands and go with brands that specialize in short range of products. A few words about shoes from shoes nerd, the most brand in price range 200-500 are not good. Carmina, trickers, Cheany, Lock and etc are brands worth being avoided. It is much better to buy JL, Bontoni, EG on sale. It is real to find this for 500 dollars And last one, economy-wise, you should buy accessories at all, at least like tie and pocket square. They are not necessary but good one costs still much. And to follow movie is a bad advice as well. James Bond is dressed in ridiculous slim suits now
It sounds like you've had some bad experiences with shoes in the $200 - $500 range. In our experience across the team and from other viewers, it's true that not everything is great in this price range, but there are also many excellent options that we've discussed on the channel before. Just following brand names can be tricky, as it's not always the case that brands maintain consistency throughout the years (Florsheim, Johnston & Murphy, Allen Edmonds, etc.)

For example I have a linen blazer that is pretty cheaply made and fits like a bag and looks kinda informal that I don't really like it wear much anymore, but I have another linen blend jacket with a much cleaner cut and more structure that I love and wore in heavy rotation over the summer.
@@een_schildpad thank you, the one i was looking into is more of cotton than linen, 82% cotton 18% linen and it doesn't seem to have much structure.
That camo jacket and white pant combo is 🔥🔥
can yall guys do a collaboration with askokey please and thanks you
Well done! Is good to see that you have a Latino person in your channel. Now you guys have the chance to reach Latino people. I guess you have reached anyway. Now go to the next step. Make more videos in spanish. Don't do what other people do. Specifically one that only makes videos in English, even he is Latino.
You can see Ivan's debut here! www.gentlemansgazette.com/casual-boots-mistakes/?
The ethnicity of the presenter has NOTHING to do with whether people will watch or not. I'm sure they reached MANY latino viewers (and black viewers, and indian viewers), even when it was just Raphael and Preston doing the presenting. The content is what matters, not the makeup of the presenter.
Yeah, so about the shoes. You guys should make a series on finding shoes for those of us with wide feet. I wear a 13 extra wide. It's probably impossible for me to find dress shoes unless I get them custom made. Plus I can't have any heel to toe drop or it hurts my knees.
It does sound like bespoke shoes might be a good option for you
@@gentlemansgazette Thank you.
The Cost-Per-Wear thing is not an automatic equation, just as the Capsule Wardrobe thing doesn't work quite really the same for men as women, etc. Sometimes you need to get a bunch of new clothes about all at once, and then don't beat yourself up too much if they're not all top quality or the best fit................
I haven't spent much time in Phoenix, but I doubt I would see much seersucker suiting there.
I saw some in California recently, but that was in my own closet when I moved it to that other closet since I didn't wear it at all this year.
I thought ye were supposed to leave the other Dbl Breasted button undone..?
ANOTHER guy who wears jeans w' sports jackets... NEXT!
Who is the very handsome black gentleman that I've seen in white tie and also a kilt now ?
If he's confident enough maybe he should get a run out on the channel as well.
Job was an attendee at our Belvedere Bash in October 2023 - his style is incredible!
@@gentlemansgazette Pass on my compliments. Job has the build for a kilt ... sorry Preston, you look great in anything you wear, but please stay away from the kilt🤣
I must say that I am not fond of this new host. He seems to have a lack of interest and has a poor speaking cadence.
Kyle is improving and I
like his casualness. Sometimes Preston and Raphael can come across as too formal.
He isn’t bad, we all find our own style as we get more comfortable
Can't agree, he's getting more relaxed as he goes. He brings a different vibe to the channel; which I'm sure is the company policy.
I politely completely disagree that he has a 'lack of interest' or a 'poor speaking cadence'. He's friendly, clear, concise and well spoken.
You may have your personal favourites ... but a gentleman would not express such an opinion, openly.
Ivan has been with us for a while now, we're very appreciative of his take on classic style, and respect that we all have different interests
Viewers of this channel will never cease to amaze with their ridiculous opinions. People have said the same about every new host. They're not gonna fire him because of one comment.
I watch this for my brother but can we please have a ladies gazette
I agree. I haven't found a ladies' channel of this quality, covering actual clothing and style over mere fashion.
Women’s fashion changes more quickly than men’s fashion.
@@YakubibnEsau Sadly true. Appearance over substance has become the norm. This channel does, however, provide great information about fabrics, construction, and care, so I'll keep watching.
Thank you for your support! We've previously talked about the topic of a "ladies gazette" here www.gentlemansgazette.com/classic-style-for-women/?
Brand is more important than construction method especially for shoes. The second one is more about marketing and low quality producers use that. Practically speaking, one method can mean absolutely different quality. For ex., Meermen uses GW but the leather of upper will tear faster than shoes are fall apart. But brand means understandable quality in particular price segment. So, the more smart advice is to avoid fashion brands and go with brands that specialize in short range of products.
A few words about shoes from shoes nerd, the most brand in price range 200-500 are not good. Carmina, trickers, Cheany, Lock and etc are brands worth being avoided. It is much better to buy JL, Bontoni, EG on sale. It is real to find this for 500 dollars
And last one, economy-wise, you should buy accessories at all, at least like tie and pocket square. They are not necessary but good one costs still much. And to follow movie is a bad advice as well. James Bond is dressed in ridiculous slim suits now
It sounds like you've had some bad experiences with shoes in the $200 - $500 range. In our experience across the team and from other viewers, it's true that not everything is great in this price range, but there are also many excellent options that we've discussed on the channel before. Just following brand names can be tricky, as it's not always the case that brands maintain consistency throughout the years (Florsheim, Johnston & Murphy, Allen Edmonds, etc.)
