The Definition of a Gentleman – What makes a gentleman?
April 17, 2016 8:00 am Leave your thoughtsLook inside the wardrobe of a 21st century gentleman and you are bound to find a fusion of style references from both the past and the present. As the lines merge between classic and contemporary, it is now harder than ever to decipher the true definition of a gentleman. When you peel back the sartorial layers of a gentleman, what exactly do you find at the core? We took our favourite men’s style bloggers for a brief tête-à-tête over an espresso and posed this simple question – what makes a gentleman?
Sven Raphael Schneider , Founder of Gentleman’s Gazette
Craig Landale – Editor in Chief of Menswear Style
“I think the first steps to being seen as a true gentlemen is to master gentleman’s etiquette. This includes manners, attitude and respect among other positive behaviours.”
Craig writes about the Vieste travel wallet, here.
Giuliano Caracciolo – Founder of Timeless Gent
Barron Cuadro, Founder of Effortless Gent
“Being a gent isn’t exclusively about the clothing you wear. It isn’t just about the watch on your wrist, the scotch in your glass, the label on your cigar, or the hotness level of the woman on your arm. It’s about how you carry yourself. How you behave when no one else is watching. How you treat those who owe him nothing.”
Barron features the Lorenzo briefcase, here.
Claudia Wegner, The Gentleman Blog
“The modern Gentleman is characterised by his actions and his behaviour but not his clothing. Being a Gentleman is a way of life. It improves with time and requires a certain degree of maturity. It is comprised of a free mindset, understanding and courtesy towards one’s fellow men and last but not least a touch of humour.”
