Moving up the Sartorial Ladder

43 minutes

In this new episode of Sartorial Talks, Hugo and Sonya share their views, opinions and experiences on what they call "The Sartorial Ladder": a step-by-step journey toward personal elegance and style.

Many gentlemen (and ladies) are becoming these days very attracted to classic style but most of them don't know where to begin in order to be ready to confront other people's gazes and jokes (like the infamous "are you going to a wedding" ?) and safely progress on their Sartorial learning curve.

In this episode Hugo and Sonya have divided the journey in 12 different steps in order to help you moving up the Sartorial ladder : from your first steps in your first pair of "real" leather shoes to your mastering of the 3 piece suit and all its subtleties.
