What is my Style? French, British or Italian?

A discussion with Hugo Jacomet, author and founder of Parisian Gentleman, on his own personal style and the main differences between British, French and Italian style.

[@walidsoliman5574]

it's not a fashion talk, it's a philosophy! you summed up everything!

[@igordaydreamer6746]

My thoughts are the same. I came to these videos for small tips and background to understand something before my first suit and ending up felling in love with the guy. Thank you Mr Jacomet!

[@stvhb1509]

British style is, Tradition; timeless/classy, and comfort French style, Sophisticated; Trendy/up to date, elegant. Italian style, Edgy, dared; quality.

"Style, when you take this path, is not simply about dressing well... It is a spiritual approach" ... Excellent choice of words Monsier Jacomet. You ethos is certainly reflected in your personal style, both sartorial and oratory. Looking forward to more of your videos!

[@hugojacomet428]

Thank you Charalampos ! Have a wonderful day, Hugo

[@carlosandleon]

as long as you behave with manners and etiquette i don't think appearance should matter. having grown up in a tropical town at the beach there has been no need for me to wear any suit whatsoever and frankly i never touched a tie before. And i still believe that attire is utterly impractical and nonsensical. The pragmatic and simple is arguably the best form of fashion. Personally the epitome of formal for me are sneakers,long pants and a button shirt lol

[@julijakeit]

Totally agreed. I cannot stand people wasting money on fast fashion, I'm too poor to waste money and time on something that contributes to abuse of the workers, pollution of the world and does not even last one season. In the past, people were more aware what suits them, would buy less and better quality, their image would be part of them. Style isn't fashionable though it can be in fashion. If one knows what they like and their likes do not change over time, they should save up and buy something durable, good fabrics, good quality, well-made pieces that would last for years.

[@mattiasantangelo9421]

I'm Italian and I love style. All the 3 schools mentioned are amazing, none is better than the other in my opinion, You should just choose which one fits more for you. for example I tent to the British style, since I'm not the typical warm and charming Italian gentleman, or at least I don't feel so, I'm quite an introvert guy. In my opinion one of the secrets to be elegant wearing a suit is this: take inspiration from the style that's represents yourself the most and add something discreet and personal.

[@real_darrion]

"The real modernity is the ability to catch inside this things that are transitory." That's deep. Thanks for the inspiring words, Hugo.

[@jlaurson]

I haven't worked my way through all 1107 comments, I'm afraid, so please forgive me if I repeat a point that's already been made. I'd just like to add that beyond the very accurate summary of British Style, there is an element to (specifically?) English style that I would call 'sneakily outrageous'. There are of course the English eccentrics... a whole brand of style (and perhaps people) of its own. But pulled up with a dazzling nonchalance... and quite admired for it. And this eccentricity sort of travels downstream through English fashion until it arrives in places of hidden audacity. You may look at a perfectly properly dressed gentleman, for example. But if you get a peek at the lining, you may find the most boldly patterned and colored fabrics. Aubergine-black with flecks of bright pink paisley. Imaginative bold stripes. Flower patterns that would dizzy your average jungle bird. Or you lift a trouser leg and you find bright red or otherwise imaginatively-colored and patterend socks. So to some extent the proper surface, the conventional first impression is really just a game... to fool someone who does not pay attention or who is not part of the club. To keep up with appearances that everyone on the inside of the club knows are undermined right around the corner. (A bit like elegant ladies from Arabic countries walking in public well-covered, with only hints (shoes, accessories) hinting at their sense of style -- and once they enter their home, off goes the outer shell and out come the most fabulous and extravagant dresses.) I know that whenever I am in London, I try to go to one of two haberdasheries where I browse for fabric for linings of future suits to bring back to my (marvelous and completely unknown) tailor in Germany. Sometimes to her initial skepticism; usually to her delight. :-)

[@hugojacomet428]

[@TheZooman22]

This was an amazing explanation of style. Hugo uses an analytical knife to dissect three different cultural influences, and distill them into absolute concepts. It never occurred to me that style could be defined so eloquently in terms of the region's philosophical trends, and inclinations. It makes sense... since personal style is quite possibly the purest form of human self expression. Even a pair of sneakers, worn out jeans , and a " Marshall Amplification" t-shirt makes a statement about who I am.

Hugo Jacomet Great choice. Very elegant, amazing artisanship, not too flashy like a gold rolex or royal oak, but breathtaking if you turn the watch and look at the case back.

[@hardy2383]

with your permission I would like to add, that the British style also shows something what is a synonym for their attitude: the British sense of humor. Not noisy fun but very discreet irony, like a dark blue suit with pink pinstripes. The Italian style is more flamboyant, no wonder since life happens on the street and Italians love the opera. But they usually take everything more seriously even if it comes to bright colours. I would have been very curious to hear your thoughts about the German style, since there are also very recognized designers and tailors based here as well.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Hardy for your contribution to this discussion. You are right for the British style and your analysis of the Italian approach of style is also correct and quite astute. Concerning the German style, our friend and PG contributor Bernhard Roetzel (one of the most knowledgeable gentlemen on the subject of tailoring) recently wrote an article on our website Parisian Gentleman where he explains that Germany and Austrian tailors typically use a cutting system created by M. Müller & Sohn in Munich, a tailoring academy and publishing house founded in 1891. While this system was not the only one in existence at the time, since the 1950s, this particular approach has dominated tailoring practices in Germany and Austria-and been adopted by other countries as well. The system hailing from Munich is updated regularly to adapt to current style preferences, and to appeal to the tastes of many ready-to-wear buyers. It is worth noting that suits based on the M. Müller & Sohn system appear less timeless, and one could say, more fashion-based than style-based. You can read the full piece on our website here : parisiangentleman.co.uk/2018/02/08/where-to-find-a-good-tailor-in-berlin-the-london-flair-of-purwin-radczun/ Cheers, Hugo
