Love all about this–well, could do without the “clipped on” glasses, but otherwise it’s near perfect. Guy has a great color eye; the cardigan is particularly cherce.
I love this look because it reminds me of the sweet, handsome knuckleheads I knew growing up in Massachusetts. They wore lots of layers and old stuff with character. There’s a little humor too (glasses and scarf.) Of course, their jeans were genuinely distressed by hard work, but this guy’s look is still charming.
This is a great shot. His look mixes sweetness and masculinity—reminds me of the Japanese casual clothes store 45rpm, on Mercer St. and the UES. I don’t allow myself to go in any more.
For some reason that just put a whole bunch of things together for me in my own evolution from t-shirts and jeans to a more casual but grown every day. nice and comfortable and classic.
I love the boots!!! Anybody know what kind they are and where to get them? They look like classic Clarks Desert boots but they’re not because they lack the crepe outsole.
Scarf seems a little much, especially given the picture below, which I assume was taken on the same day, in which the lady wears short sleeves. Nothing looks more incongruous than a guy wearing a thick scarf when its warm enough for people to be wearing short sleeves!
You know, I like this because this is the least “stylish” outfits on the sit but one of the best looking simply because of the ease of it. A good pair of denim, a decent shirt and a comfy cardigan make for nice look. And I’m glad he opted for a different color shoe to break up the field of blue.
WOW . . . . you’ve got to love the simplicity of this look . . . . chic, comfortable, and the always ubiquitous scarf . . . (is “always ubiquitous” redundant? lol)
I like it, not too.. constructed.. or kenneth cole as like to call it..
also, does anyone know a great and afffordable menswear tailor.. who can take in pantts and sport coats… !! (anywhere in the city is cool, though chelsea pref)
Please help! I have a big TO DO for the new job and want to look… sarotorial.
I love this guy’s outfit- all of it. One of the best things is that I could picture him in Seattle. He’s so well put together and classy, but there’s also a mellow vibe to the whole ensemble.
I think anon 10:10 is right. They are from jcrew. I think they are suede oxfords. Hard to tell if they are desert boots because the leg is covering the top but it looks like the heel from the jcrew oxfords.
Thanks again Sart for giving style freaks a place to converse. Love the pics. What a gift you have! Happy Holidays and here’s to a great 2007 filled with style.
Good call anon 2:07! I’ve been eyeing those J. Press Dirty Bucks prior to your post. On sale for $220 now. Sweet post holiday present to myself. Too bad they don’t come pre-worn in. LOL!

Um, wow, is that my new boyfriend?
Love the stylish-yet-casual put-together look. Classic, rugged American male. Love the shoes, and the plaid scarf tucked around his neck.
Most of all, I love the genuinely happy look on his face. (And that he’s not all skin and bones!)

That’s a wicked sweater taken to a new, youthful/playful level.
And, yes, like the other “play on blue” outfit you shot recently, it really does work.
I wonder if this is a “guy’s only” phenomenon?
