despite the relaxed quirkiness of his previous look I have to say that his look is very much improved. the last picture the clothes look very light and fresh.

My favorite is the bottom picture. It’s so summery!

He looks fabulous. Love the tan and navy in the third shot – a lovely combination. He looks serene.

Aawww – your friend is “growing up”. I prefer his mature look much more and it “suits” him much better too.

wonder if he ever delivered the mail he was holding in first

i am completely in love with the southwest print detail on the KNEES of his pants from two years ago. so strangely flattering.

I saw this guy in Florence at Pitti Uomo back in January and followed him for a couple of blocks to get a better look at his outfit and the spectacular green crocodile bag he was carrying.

This is wonderful. I wonder how many people were involved in the transformation, and what triggered it? He looks perfectly, happily at ease with his new look- that’s the most important thing.
I almost criticized the shirt collar outside the jacket. I won’t but it brings up a point. I’ve made some criticisms here that I later regretted since I aspire to the open, inclusive attitude you have. Most of us dress to please ourselves, and break the rules whenever it suits us. We should allow others the same latitude.
You’ve made my day. Thanks.

holy crap…i must see the man behind the glasses. i love all the looks. the confidence he oozes is mesmerizing.

He looks gorgeous at all 3 pics. But the last one, with linen blazer is my favourite. These two years turned him from a boy to a man.

whooha! i’m whistling! he looks gorgeous in the three-piece-suit, i have to say. what an improvement! i’m surprised you even recognized him, sart (or did he come up to you and urged you to make a picture proof of his mega improvement?!)

Love the colors of his last look!
His hair is beautiful!

he’s sexy

I don’t see it as an improvement, per se.
I don’t think time has much to do with it, either.
(If Scott hadn’t said differently, you wouldn’t really be able to tell whether all 3 had been taken the same year or not, would you?)
The man simply likes different styles and choses his clothes to suit his own mood and needs. Don’t we all do the same?

The deep blue and khaki in the last picture are absolutely perfect together. Can’t wait to see how he gets even better in two more years!

its not about the time…this guy has a mad sense of style. i wouldnt be surprised if he would wear that pullover from the first picture tomorrow.

What a transformation! I definitely love the latter picture!

Every piece he is wearing in the first shot is beautiful, but together it is a bit much– however, mixing one of those pieces with what he is wearing in the last shot would be AMAZING.

awesome through the ages. what a guy.

can we say…MAKEOVER!

Way to rock that Cowichan sweater!

Delicious! I especially like the white pocket square in the third shot, pulling together with the white trousers.

he’s improved, but i’m not sure if he has improved his own style or if he is just copping what is in every other magazine and fashion shows….he doens’t convince me at all.
you Sart, on the other hand, have definitely improved on your own style, good pic then and great pics now, awesome light.

He cleans up well!

Wow… I’m speechless. The second photo is spectacular. The lighting and everything! Not to mention his three piece suit!

I agree with Peristeraki and Sparrow, and probably others since I didn’t read every post to now.

This man loves and understands color. I doubt time has much to do with the selections re minutes to dress or any change in major interests, though it could of course. Time may be refllected in mood and occasion, thus differing choices.

I enjoy all three portraits, very good as photos and re style.

Smokin!

Despite the fact that he looks cleaner and more sharp than two years ago, I somehow still like his old indie flair. very emersonian.

he knows he looks good!

wow, he looks amazing now!

Anybody else think with the spread collar and untucked shirt, he’s a little bit too much like Furio from The Sopranos….. whoever said “70′s cop show coke dealer” was spot on

Sart — did you happen to get a closer look at his lapel pin? Looks like a gold ring, but I can’t see the design clearly. He’s wearing it on both suits. Thanks for the superb photos & I hope you run into him again soon!

I’m singing… “Isn’t he lovvvelyyy!”

it’s amazing how much more confidence he seems to ooze in the last two photos as opposed to the first!

He looks great in the last two photos, but part of that is the way he’s standing and presenting himself. I’m not sure the first outfit is in perfect taste, but it is fun and I hope he still breaks out now and then.

To be perfectly honest the first look would have me moving bar stools, but look number two would have me buying him a drink without even an introduction. ;)

Two facets of his personality- I love it! Looking very comfortable in both the country and the city looks.

And the lighting is wonderful in the two new photos!

Bloody hell! What a sexy way to wear a suit. It seems like suit and sexy don’t go together. But this guy just pulls it off. Picture 2 is the perfect suit. Picture 3 is the jacket recycled into a sexy legere look.

I cannot mention, that I particular like this guy’s haircut.

Picture 1 were presumably his rock ‘n roll days. Well, we all have/had/still have those days, when we just want to go crazy.

never thought beige and dark blue can work so well together….

so handsome!!!!
designer?

What a transformation! I bet, after you shooted him the first time, he went here in your blog and saw some photos of men looks and created his own! Your blog is a sort of inspiration for all of us! And about the pictures, I loved the light in the second one, just in his head. Brilliant as always.

The first photo is interesting,but mostly becuase it is such an over-the-top combination. He is wildly handsome in the second & third photos (second esp. – wow! what a handsome man). thanks for posting.

I think he looks hot from the neck up in the first pic.

Impeccable. What a transformation.

I love the first look. It is slightly contrived, but I feel that it shows his personality better. To me, this isn’t a transformation; this is a series of photos that captures the different sides of his personality. He seems like he would have an interesting story.

This is such a perfect example of being comfortable in your own skin. In ALL the pictures – whether two years ago or now – he is comfortable in who he is in that moment.

Oh yeah, baby! Love the newest look especially. Very fresh real.

The first shot looks like a bit too thought out and costume-like. The newer looks are much more relaxed and fresher.
