I think David Beckham deserves a nod here. I don’t like his tattoos personally, but apart from that, his dress, demeanor and humility show him to be a Gentleman, imo. The fact that he stood in line for hours to pay respects to the late Queen Elizabeth Ii, instead of using celebrity privilege to jump the queue, says at lot about him, I think.
I was impressed by your mention of the writer Douglas Murray. He's one of those rare people who is as witty and elegant in his speech as he is in his writing.
@@Olyfrun Greetings, please, at least for my sake, when being so generous with your opinions, be equally generous with solid examples to buttress them. Because I quite agree with Murray’s views you have me hook, line and sinker with your ‘somewhat repulsive’ view of Murray’s.
I find Stanley Tucci to be an exemplary role model for elegance, class and sophistication, presented so casually that it's almost effortless. Another great video, Gent Z! I always enjoy watching these in the morning to start my day on the right foot and mindset. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Great video! I love that you're on a mission to promote elegance among a younger generation of men. Elegance makes a person stand out for all the right reasons and promotes more respectful and connected social interactions.
I'm really impressed by your vocabulary and the way you articulate your thoughts. It's not just the words themselves, but how you combine them that's so striking. May I ask where you learned to express yourself in such an intelligent and thoughtful manner?
I am a lady and, as such, agree with all you're saying about being a gentleman. All the attributes you've put forth in this video could also apply to ladies! Thanks so much for bringing the idea of elegance to to your viewers. It can be so disheartening to see sloppy people everywhere. I can't believe that people dress like they do when they take airplanes. I'm not fond of flying, but when I do, I at least like to put on something clean. What if the plane went down and I were to die in a baggy tea shirt, baggy shorts and flip-flops? This is way to go into the Universe????????? Thanks again for your enlightening videos! I just love what you are bringing!
If the plane was falling, T-shirts and flip flops would be the least of your worries, lady. And nobody would care what you're wearing either, since your body would likely be crisp and in pieces upon impact. Clothes are the least important thing to an elegant soul
Dear GentZ, My comment is not specially related to this video, it is more a general compliment on your posts. Well, with 64 I am not in your target group but I like the topics you pick and the way you present them. And btw, most apply as well to senior followers as me. You make a great job Cheers from Paris
My wife and have so many people wanting to be my friends. Invitations to private country clubs, travel here with us, invitations to social events etc etc etc. By these standards, I would not be considered well mannered, well dressed or any elegance. What I do have is a genuine human grace. Both my wife are kind, polite and generous. Are we treat others the same way. You get what you give is our life motto. We are not even remotely interested in ‘looking the part’. Why? Because we don’t need to. We are clean and respectfully dressed. We dine at 3 star Michelins, attend charity events etc etc etc. Dressed clean and upscale casual. Once you reach a certain plateau in life and done pretty much what every person dreams of. One realizes that 99% of that is folly. I guess y’all have to go through it to realize it as well.
If you go to the gym and learn how to fight / give off an aura that you’re not a push over you can dress well and be elegant without people questioning your sexual preference
Cary Grant is the perfect example of how you can learn to become an elegant man. He started out as a Cockney kid, Archibald Leach, and gradually built the elegant persona "Cary Grant". One of the men he used as a pattern for the persona "Cary Grant" was Douglas Fairbanks Sr.. So, Cary Grant was not Cary Grant. The basic trait of an elegant man is that he is usually relaxed and cool. He has the air of Amused Mastery. He has mastery, because he has seen the various aspects of human behavior and nothing surprises him any more. It simply amuses him. Building a wardrobe is a cross between collecting costumes for a Stanley Kubrick movie and building an art collection.
It has to be said though that Cary Grant was an act, as he himself was fully aware. According to his daughter, when he was at home even in Hollywood he always reverted to his native Bristol accent. He never stopped being Archie Leach. As he commented, even he wished he could be Cary Grant!
In Hamlet, Polonius’ advice to Laertes as he sets out to travel to France is this: “ …. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. ….”
A good video and this is good. I enjoy Carey Grant movies. I haven't seen many, but I really enjoy the ones I have seen so far. I just wish I woke up to this 25 years ago.
My favorite Cary Grant quote that probably best expresses the basic principle of elegance: "My father used to say, 'Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary.'"
Glad you mentioned Roger Moore at the end. I have never read a bad word against him. Everyone who knew him or worked with him speaks well of him. A true elegant gentleman.
Bravo! your discussion and illustrations of an "elegant man" definitely resonate with me they inspire me to challenge myself to achieve an even higher standard of self-improvement thanks for sharing!
He's been dead since the 80s, but there are lots of videos of Orson Welles out there. The man was a paragon of charm, elegance, and sophistication. I rank him among the best
Really good subject here. Just the other day I was in line to clear customs at an airport, and I saw one guy with a very well coordinated sport jacket and trousers, with a non-obtrusive carry-on suitcase, who was going through the process but was completely unbothered by it, to the point that he stood out among all the other hundreds of people. For me, one example of true gentlemanly elegance is former President Obama, who is always at ease with himself, dresses well, moves confidently and with purpose, is articulate, urbane, and witty, and on and on. I'd be happy if I had 10% of his elegance and gravitas. I so agree with your comments on today's meathead aggressive masculine model, which is so dull and pitiful. Keep up the great content Gent Z!
The airport is one of those places that makes many lose their composure and elegance. To remain dignified and unhurried is the mark of a true gentleman. I agree, Obama was a great example of this.
@@scottg2946 Scott I respect you but I must say that your take on Obama is understandable, the thing is that he is a 1st class fraud. Elegance is one of the last things I would think of him. Articulate ? He reads well and teleprompter and without he stumbles, says “uhm” way more than Biden, Trump et al., and speaks way too slowly due to he is often lying. Read his speeches, they are all fluff no cadence, no substance. I’m confident you will agree. Moves confidently with purpose ? He often moves just like John Travolta in the beginning of Saturday Night Fever: similar to the way black guys do, which works for them because it’s natural for them. For Obama it’s “Hey man I’m cool and hip, the only President who has ever walked like this”” (Like unpresidential). A couple decades ago my sensei, my karate instructor, a great man all around, taught us not to walk like black men, rather walk as if your being lead/pulled by your obi - the belt of a gi - the gi being the karate outfit, thus being centered when walking which is a stronger gait than, say a wet noodle, arms flopping a bit, your joints a bit too loose . . So, now to the sad truth, the progressive liberal mess we are now in, it’s more than a mess, it is a crisis the likes of which we have never experienced, has its roots from the Obama administration, controlled by the super wealthy far left puppet masters of which will remain nameless. Remember Obama had the chance of a lifetime to do something for our black brethren, he didn’t, and to unite black & white, he purposely stoked the smoldering embers into a bonfire. A despicable human being. Forgive my intrusion, but the Truth will set us free.
@@scottg2946 One word that describes Obama is egocentric, which flies in the face of elegance, which can likely be suspect in men as a bit feigned. Perhaps the descriptions of all the great men in all of history would be complete without the word ‘elegant’, unless describing his wife. None the less .
The Stewart character from Mrs. Doubtfire, played by Pierce Brosnan, seems, to me, to be a classic, elegant gentleman. It would be a fun and instructive video idea to take a look at this character through the lens of the classic gentleman
Hello Sir, great video. "To Catch A Thief" (1955), starring Cary Grant (Archibald Leach) and Grace Kelly is one of my favourite movies. I think David Niven is great contemporary of Grant. During this current era, I think George Clooney exudes the same elegance.
Can you do a video on how you dress to sporting events. A sartorial approach works for the Kentucky Derby, but how about a baseball game, basketball, soccer, or whatever
Thanks for all your efforts and articulations to try to inspire present and soon to be aspiring Gentleman!🎩👍 I do resignate and agree with your sentiment and message to want to educate and guide those curious and searching souls, who want to better themselves and elevate their own contribution to Society and live life in an Elegant and Beautiful manner, like a Gentleman!🎩👍 To the point that was made at 4:44, on Men wanting to be surrounded by beauty, I'd like to quote from "The House Beautiful" a book that came out during the Art Deco Era in America, and inspired a movement in Architecural design, that inspired many great Architects around the World, like Frank Lloyde Wright!🏡 "The House Beautiful" Philosophy was that'" If your surrounded by Beauty, it has a positive and morally uplifting effect on your well being!🎩👔👞👍 Keep the faith bruh!👍✊✌🕊
Do you have any advice for finding a good tailor? I am 5'6'' and often times find it difficult to find clothes that fit me in a flattering manner; long sleeves, long pant legs. Alterations almost always necessary or the store has close to nothing in my size (S).
I would appreciate it if you could create a video discussing style and gentlemanly elements in Netflix's show, "The Gentleman," which is adapted from the film. It features numerous standout scenes that perfectly capture the sartorial elegance and essence of gentlemanliness from the original movie.
Great video Sir, really enjoy your content and you're one of the few TH-camrs who properly embraces these topics. Would love if you could do a video on JFK. Cheers.
Where I live I think I’m the only elegant man there is. Sorry if that sounds conceited but if you saw what walks around in my neck of the woods you’d agree. How do I know I’m elegant? It’s by the way people react to me. And how I treat other people. The approving smiles I get just talking to strangers. The compliments I get by the way I dress. The best tables I get when dining out. I think a great part of elegance is how people react to you. It’s innate how people react positively to politeness, being well dressed and how one carries themselves. My father always wore a suit and tie no matter the weather or the season. He was a very elegant man and I enjoyed seeing how people reacted to him. Growing up I aspired to be like him. It’s truly a shame how elegance has become non-existent in today’s society.

Oh yes, Graham Hill, one of my childhood heroes. With his pencil moustache and his combed back hair he looked like he came from another era. He almost looked like an RAF Spitfire pilot in WW2. He was the quintessential British gentleman: polite, respectful and humorous. It's a shame he died before videos were commonplace, for otherwise we might be witness to his particular brand of wit and irony. I did like his dry humour and his personal style. Thank you for reminding us of him.
I love all your videos and what you're trying to do in this bass-ackward culture of ours. But... should you be wearing so many "rough" items together in this video? Tweed coat, knit tie *and* an oxford shirt? I'm almost certain the feel of materials come into play just as much as patterns do, yes?
Hidden-gem cocktail bars tucked within restaurants or hotels are often far more elegant than standalone bars and are usually less crowded with weekend warriors. These can be great spots for dates, meeting a friend or just to enjoy some atmosphere.

Yea my father served him some food and said that he was very polite.
A great choice. I admire him as a father, husband and of course a football icon. Always classy.
How about Buffon or Pirlo?
I do not know anything about him, but that is class appropriate for an elegant woman.
I was impressed by your mention of the writer Douglas Murray. He's one of those rare people who is as witty and elegant in his speech as he is in his writing.
A gay Jewish shill

He has an elegant brain.

The combination of patterns & color in your outfit reflects the topic very well..as intended 😉
Nowadays, an elegant man is most often suspected of being gay.
If you go to the gym and learn how to fight / give off an aura that you’re not a push over you can dress well and be elegant without people questioning your sexual preference
Sad but true
Nah we straight fr
You are wrong my friend, it is just a matter of how you carry yourself

Might I suggest a video on the great Bill Nighy, a charming gentleman actor with a fine sense of style
As we say, in France since the 18th century :
" Le style est l'homme même " .

So true. Even as a man in my early 20s, I idolise the elegance and decorum that Sir Roger displayed throughout his life. The definition of a gentleman
Great content as always ✨
Thank you, sir
Absolutely amazing video.
Bravo! your discussion and illustrations of an "elegant man" definitely resonate with me they inspire me to challenge myself to achieve an even higher standard of self-improvement thanks for sharing!
Good manners are their own reward.
Good video. I agree with all your examples. It’s difficult to come up with current men who would be described as elegant.
I agree although ones that come to mind are Ben Barnes, Mackenyu, Jin (BTS), Rami Malek, and Jonathan Bailey
He's been dead since the 80s, but there are lots of videos of Orson Welles out there. The man was a paragon of charm, elegance, and sophistication. I rank him among the best
Absolutely. Staggering brilliance and wit, endlessly talented, and the ebullience of a Mozart concerto. A gem of a man

Even when Cary Grant is acting in "Arsenic and Old Lace" he's a gentleman.
I rock the somewhat baggy clothes, which I noticed some people have copied 😎 .. Just have good fashion sence no?
David Niven comes to mind.

Do you know about Graham Hill the F1 driver from the 60s and early 70s? His countenance and style are unmatched in sport.
Oh yes, Graham Hill, one of my childhood heroes. With his pencil moustache and his combed back hair he looked like he came from another era. He almost looked like an RAF Spitfire pilot in WW2. He was the quintessential British gentleman: polite, respectful and humorous. It's a shame he died before videos were commonplace, for otherwise we might be witness to his particular brand of wit and irony. I did like his dry humour and his personal style.

Eggsey and Harry, after watching Kingsman i really wanted to dress and act like them
You forgot fly fishing! 😂
All of my role models have been outed as scoundrels.
When I think of elegant men, Ben Barnes, Tom Hiddleston, Gong Yoo, Morten Harket, Mads Mikkelsen, and Mats Hummels come to mind
I know it’s wrong, but Alan Rickman as Hans Grubber comes to mind. That guy was so cool. 😎

just a question, can an elegant man play soccer
and still be elegant?
I wish i was more elegant.

I would say Sean Connery, is a classic elegant man. James Earl Jones was also.
Are black and white spectator shoes considered to be elegant or showy?
