Favourite things (and least favourite things!) about style youtubers?! (Constructive criticism only please gents!)

Antonio Centeno (RMRS)

Favourite things: depth of knowledge in mens style, long back catalogue of videos, works harder than any other youtuber I've seen. He's also a US military veteran and supports freedom for Ukraine which (without getting political) I personally think is a good cause.

Less favourite thing: Antonio has a very American sense of style (which isn't surprising or bad as he's a proud American), but some of his advice might differ from what we'd in in Europe or the UK!

2. Sven from the Gentleman's Gazette

Favourite things: Sven has immense knowledge of classic menswear, especially luxury brands, and vintage, I also get the impression he also knows a bit more about European brands than Antonio might. He also features a lot of his team members on his channel who bring different perspectives, like Preston and Jack who are from the Midwestern USA and UK respectively. Sven also tries really hard to feature some videos about buying on a budget. I haven't purchased any personally as I have plenty already but his Fort Belvedere brand ties look sharp.

Less favourite things: Sven's videos can feature some very high end brands which are unattainable for most gents, some of his vintage looks can get a bit costumey/dandyish for my tastes and can sometimes look a bit more dated than classic in my opinion.

3. Aaron Marino (Alpha M)

Favourite things: I think Aaron Marino is really good for younger men, when I was a late teenager/earlier in my 20s I watched his videos a fair bit more than I do now. I also think his views on fitness are really valuable and he has the correct values in that area, any gent can dress well, but of course younger guys will be served well by staying in good shape!

Less favourite things: Aaron likes clickbait, I don't think he'd argue with that, the "why (budget watch brand) is better than Rolex" video was a bit cringeworthy in my opinion. Also maybe some of his personal lifestyle videos can be a bit much!

Your views gents (please keep it constructive, I don't want anyone flaming Antonio/Sven/Aaron on here!)
