Indeeed, he does look very casual-cool, he looks very comfortable which is also attractive. I love the stitching on the inner thigh/crotch of his pants, and also the slim(er than most)fit of his khakis.
I see the point; but, really, isn’t this ultimately…boring? Sweaters are such a problem for men, I find. Most are made with too generous length, so one ends up with a mini-bolster around one’s middle–exactly where it’s not wanted.
In a better world, all men’s’ sweaters would hug one at the top of the hips without extra material. The solution: learn to knit or befriend someone who does…
I was looking at the pictures on the site thinking they were from style.com (street style) but i’m kind of omg do u take these? and if so you are bold and brilllliaant
I suggested my boyfriend look at this particular post for some education. He was looking for some ordinary khaki pants to wear to work. I was absolutely horrified at what was being offered at some I-love-khaki-pants outposts such as Hilfiger and RL…This pair looks great! American pants seem to be cut too wide for men.
By the way, have you considered including tags on your posts, or some other form of catalog? I like referencing.
I kind of agree with butch. I’ve spent a lot of time in Italy and, generally speaking, while people on the street there are well dressed, their style is very conservative. It isn’t often I see someone who looks all that interesting. Give me London.
i like these clothes… rarely (or never) does a pair of khakis stand out but i really liked these even before i read what was written below the picture… he looks good
In response to Butch: I agree! I dampen all of my sweaters and throw them in the dryer for a few minutes before the first wear. They shorten perfectly (although I had to learn from my mistakes how long to keep them in the dryer!)
“So many American wear their jeans really low and it just accentuates a belly.”
as an american college student, THANK YOU, sart. I’m going to quote you to every one of my peers who insists on wearing low rise jeans. to me, they’re not only déclassé, but they’re just plain unflattering!
Another reason he can pull this off is that he wears his hair longer. Most American guys cut it short, and then when you are getting grey hair it looks more evident.
I need to find those pants… they’re definitely classy, and I’m wondering about the fabric: it looks to be some kind of light denim blend (I think I had a similar pair years ago!). The jean-cut with forward-facing, thigh (as opposed to hip) pockets is the way to go.
GAP, Jcrew pay attention to these! Man, I have been looking for some updating khakis that will give me a classic yet modern look. These are fantastic. They cut is just perfect, with a slim fitting leg that allows the shoe to stand out.Seems like in America all I find are baggy or boot cut khakis that look boring unflattering.
GAP/JCREW pay attention! These are fantastic.. I have been looking for some classic yet modern pants like these…. In America all I find are baggy or boot cut fit that look old and boring..
These are cut to perfection and look classic yet modern..
Chaps & Chapesses… looking for trousers like these…
I just bought some from GANT – now a rebooted brand but with an amazing mix of US classic feel but with a European edge. I’d been looking for them for ages and hey presto I found them at GANT. Not cheap though – but amazingly well made.
To person who said men shouldn’t cut their hair too short – I agree. except I am also bald(ing) too… and going grey. I htink it says to the world, ‘Hey, I’m me… and happy – even at this age…’
Great post Scott. Excellent. Clean, crisp and easy… And I’m a guy of a certain age.
Scott, do you think that the waist height observation is true for women’s trousers as well? Maybe I’m just now so used to seeing low-waist trousers on women that high-waisted trousers look odd to me.
This guy looks just wonderful…I am surprising myself as normally this would be tooo classic for me..but hey would love to sit in a sun filled sreet cafe and share a latte and some fun.

But, but…he’s “of a certain age” and not young.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that :-)
That being said, the outfit flatters his age – whatever it may be – likely because of the pants.
Nice shot, Sart. Have fun in Milan, darhlink!

Great look! Perfect pants.

Classic but not boring! He makes it look so easy.

Nice subtle look and the trousers are well cut too. Beige, blue and beige is boring when done badly but like this it is great.

I think(some) American men wear their jeans and pants low because of no choice , there bellies overflow.
