At first man this man may look a bit sloppy, but this look is likely deliberate because of the seemingly fine materials his clothing pieces are made of. I like this artful sloppiness, although I do think that the flap on the shorts/pants takes away from an otherwise sleek part of this outfit.
Parisian Grunge? I really don’t know what to make of this. To me there’s a ghostly echo of some of the neatly dressed Parisian guys I saw in Paris when I was there in the late Eighties: Crisply pressed chinos, tailored cotton dress shirts, and, of course, the sweater, draped squarely over the back of the shoulders with the sleeves tied neatly in front…
And here is the post-modern successor, slouching out of the 5th Arrondissement. I have this strong urge to offer him a cup of coffee.
The guy looks sweet. I like layering clothing too ,but am a bit worried that I´ll spoil the clothes .This guy has succeeded well and his clothes look clean and neat.The look seems effortless and that´s what layering clothing is all about.
that kinda arabic guy has that deep in his background I mean being well wraped. we can feel windy desert around layers are never outgoing. sometimes it gives a chance to express much better when put more on. soft fabrics and even softer colours are up-2-date but that is no surprise, exactly why you picked him up and why he looks so delicate and stylish
It looks so casually thrown together, but yet so neatly put on. This is the epitome of looking good but feeling comfortable…(unless he’s not comfortable) haha. Nice post.
What a beautiful young man! So soulful. I love his creative unkemptness. This whole look works for me, because it looks completely effortless, is actually completely and totally functional AND works so beautifully stylistically. Love it to pieces! (pun intended). xoxo, as always, lady
This is beautiful. I love the dreamy expression on his face. This is really dressing to suit one’s personality. Even though I’m female I’ll definitely be taking inspiration from this look. I love layering and where I live (four seasons in one day) it’s necessary. Thank you Mr Sartorialist
i love it! this is an example worthy of emulation. although, i can’t help but hear my mother’s voice in the back of my head saying, “it’s summer! aren’t you hot with all those layers?”
Perfect! I love everything about this – the muted natural colours, the crumpled shirt, the jumper thrown around his shoulders, his hair, his 5 o’clock shadow, his expression.
That look is just perfect – but only if you bring the »just fell out of bed«-look to the table and call constantly pull off that »I really don’t care«-face. Very impressive though … too bad I find myself lacking in both prerequisites.
Wow! that’s what I call great layering. I love the shirts and the trouser combination. The sweater on top is maybe a bit too much (for summer days) but I can imagine it being perfect for spring or warm fall days. Great pic Sart!
I’m not quite sure but doesn’t the sweater, used as some kind of scarf, like too artsy? This works as a pose but I’m afraid it’s not suited to daily use
Bravo! the contrast of texture, warm tones in skinclothes vs the cool shadows/background – this is very Cezanne – almost watercolor like. Then his expression and clothes: inspirational in another way entirely – Your surroundings must agree with you as your recent work is some of the best yet!
Perfectly done, though the sweater, or its “off the shoulder” placement, strikes me as affected.
But…one can’t be well dressed unless one follows, to quote Elsie de Wolfe’s dictum, the rule of suitability; it’s summer, and all that layering just seems rarther…bizarre.
altho layering “looks” great… fact is this cool guy must have terrible circulation to be able to wear such layers… he’s obviously not fit or he’d swelter… unless this photo was taken in November.
I like it! Very cool. And very French, especially the sweater around the shoulders. It must be a French thing. I always see French tourists with sweaters draped around their shoulders. Yesterday I saw two little French boys, maybe 9 or 10 years old, with sweaters thrown around their shoulders.
Some of you have mentioned that he must be “sweltering” in those layers. Sometimes there are heat waves AND cold-breaks – this photo was taken when Paris was unusually cool.
This weekend had dinner on the beach at 5:30 pm and it was cool enough to wear a sweater or sweatshirt (and scarf!) but by the time I got back to the city (8:30pm) it was very warm and humid – weather changes so think it is interesting to show how people layer for cool weather in warm months.
he looks very laid back but very chic :) all the more endearing…
oh, and he has a striking resemblance to steve carell!
the sartorialist should visit the philippines! a lot of very fashionable people too. but then again, there’s bound to be in almost all countries. cheers to your work!
Nothing this meticulously coordinated could fairly be referred to as “sloppy.” The colors, the carefully orchestrated sweater placement, and half-tucked under-layer are all so fabulous that I don’t quite know what to do with myself.
He is as easy and breezy as a “covergirl” and sooo adorable in that trying to look messy to the untrained eye, but those who “get it” will totally catch on–sort of way.
I officially am experiencing my first crush since 5th grade!
My god he looks gorgeous. And he’s not my type. Very dumb question, but is that a really expensive outfit made to look ‘just thrown on’ – or has he just got amazing style?
I count three shirts plus the sweater. Would love to do that, but would die in the triple digit heat indices we have here in DC. Sigh… fall is coming… I’ll be able to dress again soon!
