These 7 Sins ARE NOT Gentlemanly (Or Are They...?)

About this video

The Gazette team examines seven vices historically associated with gentlemen—gambling, smoking, drinking, gourmandism, sartorialism, epicureanism, and philandering—exploring what makes each alluring and potentially destructive. They argue that self-control and moderation are what distinguish these behaviors from harmless hobbies, and that modern gentlemen should take responsibility for their actions rather than hiding behind the glamorized depictions of decadent living shown in popular media.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that self-control is the core distinction between vices and harmless indulgences; understanding your personal limits is central to being a gentleman
• The Gazette team contends that sartorialism becomes destructive when it leads to snobbery and gatekeeping, and they advocate for promoting an inclusive approach to classic menswear rather than alienating those who don’t share the same interest
• The Gazette team emphasizes that modern gentlemen should recognize how media and industries glamorize vices while obscuring their darker realities, and should prioritize respect for others and honest behavior in romantic and social contexts
