In Sonnet 28, "wild disorder'd gestures" and "lovelorn looks” depicts the speaker as someone who is in anguish over love.

When we talk about "wild disorder'd gestures", we can infer that the person is upset about something, while on the other hand, if we talk about "lovelorn looks”, this certainly means that he/she is sick with love or is experiencing problems with love.
