just the other day, i had a conversation about how shocking Boy George's aesthetic was back when we were growing up… Now Boy George's aesthetic is a lot less shocking and we have this picture (and the man's lovely skirt) as evidence!
something about this, from this angle, is strangely sexy. the details. even the schlumpy hoodie – it doesn't have a standard collar. the skirt has a hidden pocket and the boots have the side zip. much love.
I want to meet this guy. I wish more men felt comfortable in sarongs. I am taken back to years spent in Indonesia where men knew how to make skirts look seriously tough and sexy.
I missed real street fashion photographs on this blog, and even i wasn't cehecking The Sartorialist for a while. But these days you came back. That's very nice.
Definitely of the breed of strangers you see for a brief moment but whose image will linger in your head hours afterwards. The type of person we all love to imagine a scenario about.

Centre Street is actually one of my favorite places to do street photography — so gritty and real and quintessentially New York.
His unkempt look and blissful ignorance of that fact that you're photographing him are great. A nice departure from your usual streetstyle shots.

I love this native bohemian look. Yet I kind of wish the shoes were new and shiny which would of made the whole mix seem more deliberate.

I love a man who can – and will – wear a skirt. His looks like it was made from a vintage Pendleton blanket.

I do love a man in a skirt. There is something terrifically sexy about a guy with this kind of nonchalance.
These rare birds are truly unbound by fashion norms, almost unaware of social convention.
