You can check out the accessories I'm wearing here:
Wool Challis Tie in Turquoise with Gray, Orange, Navy and Yellow Pattern: gentl.mn/2lyCEAG
Orange, Green, Blue, Yellow, Silk Wool Medallion Pocket Square: gentl.mn/2ltB6vY
1. White dress shirt
The fabric should be either made of plain poplin weave or a fine herringbone twill. Ideally, you want a medium spread collar because it can be worn with many things and it works with every face shape. You also want no chest pocket because it's a formal shirt and formal shirts don't have chest pockets.
2. Light blue dress shirt
You want it to be made from a rugged fabric such as Oxford. You can also go with poplin, maybe a twill weave or anything else that stands the test of time. If you live in warmer regions, you can also get an open weave fabric, but overall, I suggest you stay clear of the chest pocket even though you could wear it because it's a less formal shirt.
3. Navy suit
To start, I'd invest in a single breasted suit with notched lapels, not too skinny, not too wide, about 10cm or 4 inches for the lapel width. I would choose side vents and flap pockets. If you don't like the single-breasted style, you can also go for double-breasted with six buttons and two closing buttons. For pants, I would choose cuffed, and since I have bigger thighs, I would go pleated. Of course, that's up to you.
4. Classic navy blazer
No, not the one from your suit. While you can wear that jacket as a separate with khakis, if you get a navy blazer, you should get something distinctly different. That being said, get a lighter shade of navy than your suit because it has to look different and a lighter color is usually more casual which is the origin if the blazer hence, you should go with that.
5. Gray flannel suit
It's a classic wardrobe staple and men like Cary Grant wore it in North by Northwest; Gianni Agnelli made it world-famous with a specific shade from Vitale Barberis Canonico. It's not just so popular because some famous people wore it, it's very functional, versatile, and for example, you can take the pants and wear it with a navy blazer which is another very classic combination.
6. Tweed sportcoat
I'm wearing one right now; it's a twill weave with a nice windowpane overcheck. There are lots of other options, for example, with a houndstooth, or a regular twill, or a shepherd's check or simply a Donegal tweed, no matter how old you are or what your style is, there's a tweed sports coat out there that suits you perfectly.
7. Gabardine trench coat
It's a timeless classic that has a military history; it's a perfect raincoat. It can have a liner for colder months of the year, and in a double-breasted silhouette, it's simply elegant, and you can pair it with formal suits as well as casual combinations.
8. Chinos
Chinos are cotton pants that come in a tone of khaki, sand, or stone, and they're more casual and very versatile. You can wear them with all kinds of jackets or just a shirt or a sweater and they're often office appropriate.
9. Vest or waistcoat
Personally, I love vests; I have lots of them. If I'd have to pick just one vest, I'd go with a burgundy collar, maybe a flannel, or doe skin, because it's contrasting and you can pair it with anything else I discussed today and a lot more.
10. Sweater
More specifically a bottle green wool sweater with a V-neck because I like to wear them all the time. If you don't, go with a crew neck that is round and it just looks better than a V-neck. It's perfect to layer over shirts, you can have it under jackets, you can wear it on its own, or with an overcoat, and just keeps you warm in the winter.

He has such a self-satisfied grin as he references each of his related guides. You did it man! You've created a library of advice on male attire, and it's amazing!
I like how this man goes right to the topic. No tiege hanley this, tiege hanley that. Cheers!
Chaomi Chaomi what's wrong with tiege hanley?
Chaomi Chaomi don't like AlphaM?
Some of the later videos have a plug (Ace Marks shoes) and he does mention his own product line, Fort Belvedere often but in a pleasing way.
@@waltski4375 I like the fact that he is very honest and up front about the ace marks and points out they are not the best but are a decent deal for the price.
I grew up in urban NY so my style was always street wear. Found myself in my 40s not knowing how to look for the times. Thank you for getting me started on the classics.
Sven Raphael is the best style engineer, elite, elegant and classic.
If you like him also try Sartorial talks, they're another superbly knowledgeable classic mens wear channel
I can remember when you first started putting out these videos. I knew that it was a good way to go. People these days don't take the time for the details and this is a good platform to get the information across to them in a very concise way. The fact that can reference a video on everything that you discussed in this video is outstanding. It also shows the depth of your knowledge on how a gentlemen should dress and the passion and drive you have behind it! This my friend, is what a practical education on How to be a Gentleman in the modern age should be!!!! And, I'm so grateful that you are doing this on all forms of social media.
We are grateful for your kind words! Thanks for the support!

I actually got charcoal as a first suit and a navy blazer. I also can't wear tweed in Florida.
My wife thinks im going nuts now that I prefer dressing like this over a high school punk.
lol
After I started to pay attention to what I wear through this channel and Antonio's, my girlfriend's first present for me was a nice pocket square. :)
Same here. I think it's more punk to dress like a gentlemen when most folk just wear jeans and a t-shirt. I LOVE dressing like this now. Let's folks know you have class. LOVE being into "Adult sh*t" now!
Same here!
Well... she's gonna have to learn to appreciate it ahahahh
I love how this still seems like a new video. Quality never goes out of style. 👌👍
Raphael, these type of videos are invaluable, keep them coming!
I enjoy your specialised content just as much, but the back-to-basics videos are must-have information for anyone.
Very informative as always Mr.Raphael!
Thank you for this video! I appreciate the consistently great content. I've also been noticing that your editing has been improving.
Keep up the good work! :D
Excellent primer - thank you!
I can´t stop watching. He mentions so many videos i want to watch.
Great choices. Love the gray twill jacket.
Just starting to build my wardrobe.i like Magee jackets especially.selection of waistcoats too.
This is incredibly useful information. Thank you
Another great video. Very helpful and very practical.
Thank you for doing what you do.
Great guy you’ve become my image advisor .
I've been binge watching you since I found your channel, your wallets are to die for (though a little outside my price range). Are you able to do a video on wearing facial hair as a gentleman? I sport a pretty good size beard but love the vintage gentleman style and would like to know how to work with my beard.
Sven, your CZcams channel is my favorite channel on CZcams!
Great video. Going to start investing in some quality garments. Many thanks
Got myself a Stetson hat recently, I love it.
Very informative ,very helpful
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
great advice.. thank you
My Navy blazer is my most hardworking garment.
Awesome video, could you do a video on the different tie knots and there applications. Thanks
Excellent video as always.
Love, love, love.
Thank you so much for your videos!I have now invested in a sage colored weatherproof trenchcoat.It is in fact double breasted and is great for Indiana's unpredictable weather.
I agree with most content... I don't agree with the suggestion not to wear a belt with a vest. Most 3pc suits contain a pant with belt loops for a reason. If there's a belt loop there should also be a belt. Also these are good tips but, not all for ethnic folk. We dress a different style. Example: The sweaters suggested aren't going to happen, nor do we wear the cuffed pajama pant. :-)
Many respect to you Sir
I am glad you made these videos :)
Mad props for the bottle green Polo sweater. I'd just replace the vest as a Top 10 Essential with a peacoat.
i have several vitale barberis pantalons...they are just awesome, its topnotch.
Burgundy vest/waistcoat ... Brilliant. Very Ritzy and sure makes a statement. 7:13
thanks a lot.i enjoy watching your videos.great content
You said I would thank you for investing in high quality garments over cheaper ones.
...
Thank you!
I couldn't help noticing how the image in the video was shaking. If you are using a tripod, which I assume you do, please make sure that the camera image stabilizer is off so that the video is more perfect than it is right now. Really love the content.
Also I really appreciate that this channel is more about sharing knownledge than advertisements. Many other menswear channels are full of products and sponsors. Really glad you dedicate such an amount of work into each video. Thanks a Lot.
1440p, my good man your content only improves!
In liverpool there is a shop called slaters who provide high quality clothing, I asked about getting a suit, pretty standard black and white (excusable for the economic urban area) and the entire suit, jacket waistcoat and trousers, less than £80
VERY INTERESTING!!!
You have an awesome accent that just makes me attentive whatever you are saying
dope outfit color combination
could you do a video on how to maintain ties ie. Hermes ties. Thanks so much.
great video this morning.
I must ask however, which Chelsea boots are those with the blue rubber?
Pokoknya Mantappp...Cooolll..
Normally I get annoyed by the amount of references to other videos a channel might have, but considering the format of this channel and its overall purpose, I find it oddly refreshing.
Do you have any suggestions for blazer/suit brands for shorter men in Germany or Austria?
I really like your channel.
I have a question: Can i wear brown trousers, an offwhite shirt, with a burgundy vest and a dark grey sportcoat, but without a tie?
Hi Sven,
What size jacket do you wear? The lapels on quite a few seem very wide is there a reason?
Thanks
Jim
I have a navy suit that fits well. I did not, however, invest in the matching vest at the time. finding an exact match would be difficult and being a sslight shade off would look, i feel, tacky. Should I opt for a grey vest with the suit?
Cool list....
I loved the video, I find it very useful and I will try to remember everything you said here! You have become my favourite CZcamsr, please don't stop making videos! May I suggest a couple of topics that I would like to see in your channel some day?
The first would be leather. Different kinds of leathers and their quality, tips to take care of leather items, what to buy and what to avoid, etc. I love leather and I have many things made of it, from a jacket to a messenger bag, gloves, boots or shoes but I am never sure about what kind of leather I'm buying and if it's the proper one, and how to take of it.
The second topic would be colours. Colors that work pretty well together, colors that clash, appropiate colors for different occasions, etc. Matching colors is my weakest point, I am just not good at it!
I hope you don't take my suggestions the bad way, it's just that I love your channel and have watched almost all your videos by now and I do trust your opinion when it comes to clothes as you clearly know what you are talking about. So thank you for your videos and your time!
Thanks for the suggestion. We have written topics on colors, but they're for specific stuff e.g. combining socks, etc.
If you want to check them out, simply go to the website and type a keyword in the search field so all relevant articles would come up.
Which of those items would be advisable to aquire new? My nearest vintage store is roughly 100km away.
in your opinion how versatile is a purple-ish shoe? I saw some from meermin Mallorca in the linea maestro collection. are they as versatile as an burgundy shoe because of the red hues?
Who else loves this guys accent
I am from a very hot country and a sweat a lot, so I was thinking of getting a silk dress shirt, what would be some other materials for a hot climat and do you think silk dress shirt is a smart investment?
With colourful Chinos, a nice dress shirt, a good blazer and 2 or 3 Vests combined with some ties or bow ties and a pocket square I could go for 2 weeks looking very different every day.
I think that's a good way to go for a poor student.
Can I get away with a blue Window pane tweed sports jacket if I'm 5 feet 7?
Conveniently I already own most of these items
You are an individual of exceptionally good taste!
hi I love the vids but how about linking examples of these items and talk about brands that we can buy them from
Our website has more specific recommendations.
Your videos are great. I love all the tips that you give. I'd like to ask that you balance the volume, however. You speak pretty low and your music is much louder. Watching these videos makes me feel like I'm watching infomercials late at night. Where each one is a different volume.
Where does one find great sport coats like the ones shown? I keep seeing very plain, conservative sport coats here in the U.S.A.
1:54 this jacket is awesome. Anyone knows the name or color or brand of that jacket please?
1:53 What suit fabric pattern is that? I want it.
Thank you for clearly stating the word "afford". Not the most expensive item, but the most most expensive you can afford. Say you are at the upper end of the low price range. If you can afford to shell out a few more bucks to push you into the lower end of the mid price range then do it. But don't go for a $150 if it's out of your range.
Years ago one could get a suit with a second pair of pants pretty much standard. Times have changed.
There’s even a movie “The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.” It starred Gregory Peck, I believe.
Is ascot-Chang a good dress shirt brand??
hello Gentleman's Gazette, do you have a ideology on fedoras, or hats worn back in the 40s or 50s?
thank you.
They only look good if you look good. Gotta look after yourself to suit a hat.
How about Sweater Vest
Gentleman's Gazette, in your video you encouraged us to try wearing our suits with a different pair of dress pants. Over at Real Men Real Style they encouraged us to never do that because then we would be breaking up our suits. Why would you say it is okay to break this rule? Should I not take that rule at face value? Thank you!
Which channel do you prefer?
Hmm in my understanding, you can do that but just be cautious to not overdo it
Kinda like buying colors for painting
I only wear grey suits.
Cause pidgeons are mostly grey.
Nikola Tesla u should try a black! Maybe u like it
Mandeep Baweja only when my parents die. Not happening soon.
Nikola Tesla haha no...thats not the only case! U can wear black suit with any color Vest/sweater/tie/pocket square to make it more daytime appropriate...or add Tan shoes & ...but technically Black suit can be worn in any setting if u have confidence to pull it off!
Nikola Tesla
navy, brown, burgundy, green are some nice colors.
Nice tie, Viola Milano or Marinella, by the looks of it.
It is from Fort Belvedere www.gentlemansgazette.com/shop/accessories/ties/wool-challis-tie-turquoise-gray-orange-navy-yellow-fort-belvedere?
Gentleman's Gazette Nice. Maybe you should do a video on ties and pocket squares, how to match colors and structures
I plan to start wearing like you do on a daily basis even when I'm not required to, and I'm literally never required to, not even at my job and not even to job interviews (believe it or not, this is somehow how it works where I live, men here almost never wear anything other than t-shirts and jeans). Well, minus the tie because even without it I would be massively overdressing everyone where I live, even in more formal settings like weddings.
Do you have any advice for someone who would like to upgrade their style but is afraid what people around him are going to say?
Never pass the culture factor when dressing. This man imo only matches with bourgois people of western europe and little area of america. U can easly be a crown in most of the world. Dressing is not universal. Also if i wear these fabrics in my country i would sweat like rainfall.
I have a chest pocket on almost all of my dress shirts. I use them to carry pencils. Is this a stylistic faux pas? Btw, I am 17 and generally dress in smart casual, just to give some context for your answer. Thanks, A.
Andrew Veatch it’s fine; just less formal.
Genial
For me, the waistcoat is near the top of the list, just under dress shirts and slacks. I appreciate the more formal look with the lesser price tag and no compromise to my mobility.
Overall, as others have said, this is a good foundational video.
Waistcoats are dope. They make you look muscular, they help with posture, they’re cheap, and they help you keep your core reinforced
So, i go without shoes?
Yeezys
Would you make a guide similar to this for ladies? Or could you recommend an account similar to yours in style that can educate lady? Thank you! I always enjoy your posts, especially the history behind fabrics and designs!
+Christal Odum No, we are for gentlemen and I am not aware of anything like this for ladies, sorry.
Where to get that sweater? I want that so bad...
iKisper brooks brothers has stuff like thag
Monte Carlo Tailors in Asia
Hi ! what is the weight of your navy double breasted suit ?
How dickies clothing is considered in classical wearing?
I really wish you would lower the volume on the sax
a pair of shoes should been in the 10!
No, shoes are separate, watch the video ;)
im really liking the topics but the asymmetrical tie is driving me up the wall
Seems like you haven't watched our tie guides yet...
regardless it make one's body look crooked
+ten thousand there is hardly any item in classic menswear that is truly symmetrical. I have never seen a well-dressed elegant man with a symmetrical tie knot.
its a personal preference for me ☺ however it does look like an imperfection to ME or somewhat lazy although lazy might not be the correct word. I suppose if someone tilted their head the effect would be pronounced to a greater level
I would like to see some videos on the history of gentlemen ;)
Do you think the brand "Ledbury" is worth paying for? What about Paul Evans NY?
I can´t really tell you in which video he says this, but he said that Paul Evans are great shoes, but are way overpriced. If I´m not mistaken he said that Allen Edmonds are better... I think it was in one of those videos that g like "Difference between 100 a 1000 dollars shoes".
Daniel Rivera, Justvictor13 is right, I remember that video. He gave some pretty good advice on shoes, be sure to check that out!
I have the Paul Evans Penny Loafer. It fits very well however the outer edge of my left shoe is scraped in less than a year of wear. Also I am in the process of buying a shoe stretcher since the shape of the shoe constricts my pinkies. The leather is great, didn't shine it for half a year and still had an acceptable shine. The heel has that click-clack sound. I don't know if this is a hallmark of quality but I don't mind it. I don't think I will buy this Penny Loafer. First I'll buy www.velasca.com/en/product/penny-loafers/168-men-loafers-black-full-grain-leather-leather-sole-demoniett.html then when I have enough money I'll just get a bespoke pair from Berluti.
I love my London Fog, full-length trench-coat. I bought it over 30 years ago and though it's got some mileage on it, it still looks and feels great. When I wear it on a wet winter's day, it's like being embraced by a loved one. I've only had it cleaned once or twice in all those years, and it's even missing a button or two, because, as an old Baltimore homicide detective once told me, a trench-coat should speak volumes of it's owner and the countless cigarettes and coffees consumed while on a life-time of all-night stake-outs.
While I really enjoy your videos, I have a comment regarding shirt colours. Not everyone can wear an off white shirts (cream). It actually looks terrible on certain skin tones (including myself). ☺
I have yet to meet someone who can't wear it.
You can honestly wear anything as long as you know how to pair it so the outfit meshes well.
Where is the tie in this list?
I think a lot of things he wears are just for the sake of the kind of look he’s going for rather than actually looking dapper
finding a white dress shirt with no pocket around where I live is a pain in the dick....
You’re mentioning so many names and I’m like “WO WO WO what do you mean there are more than [insert garment here] honestly I am completely lost ngl
It's not clear to me why there is such a shibboleth against 'link cuffs' ie French cuffs, but not double-heavy with the traditional foldover. To quote from an article about Alexander Kabbaz, an approved custom maker of bespoke shirts:
'...Master Shirtmaker Alexander Kabbaz touts the benefits of link cuffs. Link cuffs are designed to be fastened with cufflinks, but not to fold over like French cuffs.
Explaining one of the benefits, Kabbaz said "The major advantage here is comfort. Unlike the double-heavy French cuff, link cuffs are much lighter. In addition, the do not have the great bulk of the better-known cuff and therefor slide much more easily within the jacket sleeve.
"It is little-known", he continued, "that the link cuff was not only the first cuff, but also the most formal. It is the only acceptable cuff to wear with formal dress. Before the idea of buttons came about, men were known to punch a hole in the (single) cuffs and use a string to tie them together for warmth." '
George VI of England once reprimanded his son, the Prince of Wales, for wearing brown shoes with a blue suit. Of course once Edward VIII became king, he became a tastemaker and mainstreamed this choice of color. Later as the Duke of Windsor, he was famous for his immaculate good taste as well as for choosing the most comfortable clothes he could wear, and bringing many other heretofore proscribed articles of clothing into fashion, like blue dress shirts and Fair Isle sweaters. It seems to me that there is nothing inherently untasteful about single-thickness, 'link cuffs'; the only objection seems to be that they are 'comme il faut' for white tie; it is as though they are 'reserved' for white tie. Surely this doesn't exclude them from our fashion purview.
I would love to hear the Gentleman's Gazette's opinion as to this topic.
+Sam Lander I have seen Mr Kabbaz in person at trade shows a few times, and I would certainly not dress the way he does, but each to his own.
Also bear in mind, that a great craftsman is not necessarily great stylists.
A single cuff of a white tie shirt was traditionally starched, clean and neat. Folding it would have not looked good.
Comparing a starched single cuff on an evening shirt to a single cuff on a modern day dress shirt is like comparing apples to oranges because the starch is what ultimately increases the formality. An unstarched wing collar and cuff would not work with white tie.
The Prince of Wales like softer less formal items and so he preferred a softer turndown collar and soft double cuffs for his black tie ensembles but he'd still wear properly starched cuffs with white tie.
Today, single cuffs on dress shirts are ususlly only found on combination cuffs, meaning they have button next to the hole so you can wear them with cufflinks or with a button.
Do you honestly expect me to sit through a 49min video to find the pic with the cuffs? Please add a time stamp to your link so I can get right to the part where we wears it.
In any case, Edward was the one who favored soft double cuffs over single cuffs for evening wear.
Are you the Sam from Microsoft 😳
Gentlemans Gazette is anti chest pocket😂
3 pieces of clothing every man should have: a proper pair of American made work boots, Filson Tin Cruiser or double tin pants, and a proper pair of leather work gloves so you can keep your hands soft for you lady and not have to worry about calluses and dry cracked hands.
French cut shirts are too stuffy. Regular button sleeves are more functional.
