How can one man be both so ridiclious cringe looking and also be so knowledgable. He is a living paradox. I learned everything about dressing properly from this man and respect him, yet I cringe 95% of the times he wears anything with his hideous looking body and face.

Isn't he some weird mix of Brazilian and German ancestry? Looks like the amerimutt' meme desu.

>> No.17172164

>>17172078
I think the issue here isn't dressing up, but the weird combinations. Yellow gloves are hard to wear already, and I understand that he wanted to match the yellow tie, that's already really bold, so you need something subtle to tone it down. However, he blows it out of proportion by wearing a coat that doesn't go well with the other colors and even has a prominent pattern.

Left looks like a old fashioned milkman. Had the pants matched the jacket he'd look much better instead of those terrible ones he's wearing.

Middle looks fine.

Right. Hideous gloves, looks like Hestra work gloves. Could look alright with nice patina if you're an outdoors person.
Should wear a hat like in the middle and gray brownies pants to match the coat.

Honestly he looks like a gangster from the 30s, or a movie about them. The yellow gloves are pretty bad but he doesn't seem to wear them often so it might have just been for an example.

When dress up formal wear enough it starts going the other way and starts resembling quirky street wear, defeating the purpose of not looking like a twat.

I have no idea why he loves those yellow gloves so much. I mean, to each their own but pretty much all other colours he has on his store are vastly superior. Plus to me, yellow gloves just remind me of the rigger gloves I use in the yard when doing gardening chores.

1 he's just not a handsome guy with a good frame. taking away his canthal tilt alone would make a lot of difference

2 he's an enthusiast so he's just fucking around more than any non-autist would

>> No.17172851

I've thought of exactly this. He knows exactly how it should be. At the same time he dresses like a clown. He also shows some nig squeezed into his suit with lapels begging to die. And that other guy who seems to have a chromosome loose. Good knowledge and yet so absurd.

I'd much rather listen to someone ugly instead of a chad male model regarding fashion. The former actually has to know what he is talking about to look good, the latter doesn't.

>> No.17175709

>>17175447
This, non-Chads generally give better fashion advice because they have to go the extra mile to look good. If something looks good on an out-of-shape goblino, it'll look amazing on anyone even slightly attractive.

He has no taste, no style of his own.
He wears stuff because it is unique/rare/expensive, not because he actually like it or because it looks good with the outfit.

People make this mistake with bespoke, they go to buy a suit and order all kinds of wacky unique details like action backs, contrating buttonholes, and a really bold fabric that you can't buy ready-to-wear.
But it looks horrendous and you would have been better to buy the most plain looking suit imaginable.

Hugo Jacomet is the opposite.
While Hugo does have some pretty crazy stuff too, 99% of the time he wears a plain grey or navy suit.
If Sven also did that, if in the majority of his videos he just wore a plain grey or navy suit, he would look great and everyone here would say he has great taste.

>> No.17175726

>>17175721
I think it's mainly because half the accessories he wears (ties, boutonniere etc) he sells on his shop so he's basically advertising without being too blunt about the fact that he's advertising his products.

>> No.17176501

>>17175721
It would be cool if he showed how to properly pair a crazy item with other stuff to make it look good, instead of pairing it with more unusual items

outfit 1 is something i would see in the 1930s on the french riviera, and even then, only Charles Trenet could pull off a white double breasted jacket with baby blue pants.These days, you could only get away with this in Montecarlo or at a wedding maybe. On him, it's just LARP.

outfit 2 is ok if you remove the hat. I get that he's trying to copy old fits, but if he adapted it and if the pants were slimer, that would correct his fat legs.

outfit 3 is terrible, the pattern of the coat doesn't go with yellow tie and gloves.
The guy has no taste, let's face it.

>> No.17176706

>>17175721
Another thing is that, because everything Sven buys is thrifted or ready to wear, he has no taste for proportions.
Everything Hugo gets is bespoke so he has a very finely tuned sense of proportions, he knows exactly what kind of lapel shape he wants, how big he wants the shoulder roll, how much he wants the jacket to open at the bottom, what kind of shirt collar he wants, which angle the points go in, etc.

When you open your eyes to proportions, you don't need fancy accessories. Proportions are the accessories, you can have a wardrobe of exclusively plain grey suits but all with different proportions and they will all be unique and interesting.

>> No.17176712
