this guy looks really great from the knees up!! scarf/coat combo really great against his beautiful skin tone. there is a but :(..sorry!.. but his trouser length just isnt quite right somehow, i think they're not short enough? maybe a little bit of sock showing would make it work? also i think the soles of the shoes are too thick? persnickety i know!! nicola
Apparently I am in the minority here, but I find the proportions to be all wrong. He is really that stocky on top or is this just a David Byrne circa 1983 look? And the short pants with that coat makes it look like he raided his sons closet. Great individual elements, but together + the weird sizing? Bleck.
As I was scrolling down to look at this photo the following thoughts went through my mind:
…nice coat …nice scarf …nice pan…ANOTHER guy who can't buy pants that fit?! When will this nonsensical trouser length fad END? …nice chukka boots, but those annoyingly short pants!
I can only hope he is looking at a mannequin in the window that has pants the PROPER length for a grown man…and he is on the verge of an epiphany.
I agree with the comment above. I wondered if there would be weight comments about this photo – no debate raging on what words to use. I know that there are body image issues for men, but nothing stirs more comments still other than women's weight. I love this blog, it's creative, smart and inspiring, but I don't think it diversly represents women. It may have age diversity, but I think it stops there. There aren't many pictures of women who are not model thin.

A wonderful casual look.. not many men can pull off white jeans/trousers. Love the pop of color with the patterned scarf!

I'm not a fan of the shorter length pants on men. Girls can pull it off w/heels. On men however it makes their legs appear very short!

Great mix of (very white) light from the shop and fading daylight. The wat he's looking down, he's probably interested in shoes on sale.

What I love most about this photo is that you captured a "moment" and not just an outfit. Very inspirational for my own work.
You're more than just a street "style" photographer, you're truly a great photographer whose subject is the street (and fashion).
