What a dashing and debonair man! I particular admire the way he chooses and wears his scarves. Goes to show that there is no age limit to being chic and well-dressed.
Reminds me of the white pants photo from Pitti the other day – and again the odd jacket steals the show – especially the second one. Shoulder is outstanding and the pattern matching across the sleeves and chest is perfect. Very nice.
Anonymous at 5:28 AM – ha ha ha! I was wondering if anyone else noticed that! But in order to maintain the tone of this blog, let me just add that that’s some pretty fantastic scarf tying going on there – I really must experiment with mine more often…
he is the man.. I love him oh my gosh..what an inspiration for me the mix of colors fabrics..and I lovet he fact that he isa beautiful older gentleman.. he owns his looks…
Love the scarves. And the white pants let us see firsthand why the character based on him was nicknamed “The Tripod” in Jean Godfrey June’s hilarious memoir about her time at Elle.
It’s funny, I like the way he looks, but my first thought was that the scarf in the first pic looked kind of like a tube sock and the scarf in the second looks kind of like a towel – but they both work because he is just so darned cute!

i like the mix of a spring pant with a very wintery jacket. the scarf gives depth to the outfit. this is good, i always appreciate a relaxed style.

The first coat’s fabric looks of superb quality, I’ve always wanted to find clothes like that.

Well, well. Love the jacket, but the scarf is a leeeetle out of control, I’d say.
In this case, I’d say you can go for lots of color or exaggerated size, but not both–or not both successfully.

Is that a table cloth he’s wearing around his neck in the lower image? :-) Regardless, love the color combinations and his sense of whimsy.

The cut of these jackets is sublime. Natural shoulder, subtle shape, authentic fabric.

obviously a man who takes the garment seriously; it’s like he is sculpting his ties. amazing!
and just an observation is on point.

Tweed jacket/white jeans/scarf combo like the man at Etro…
whimsical color notes:
Bensimon: the scarf
the “man”: yellow gloves
What kind of shoes/socks was Bensimon wearing?
Your Blog makes me smile, thanks

The scarf is a bit too big for my liking, but great outfit nonetheless.
