I LOVE this look!!! He looks professional but edgy. The bowtie tops it off perfectly. I am addicted to your blog and also wish you would show more professional women.
I love the cuffs on the pants. His pocket square really mirrors that horizontal line as well on top.
The contrasting brown colors of the tote and shoes are a great mix. Like the seersucker, it’s another great example of a brown oxford. The higher polish on this one is definitely more professional.
I am only concerned about the tote. The shape of it is a bit casual and almost more appropriate for shopping. I would suggest a messenger bag but stick to that same hue.
I like the length of his pant cuffs. Luciano Barbera said that Europeans maybe wear pants too short and Americans too long and that’s why he chose to wear his with a “mid-Atlantic” length. It seems that this gentleman pulls off that length with ease.
I love the length of his pants and his crooked bowtie. This could have very easily made him look like Steve Erkel, but the slim, one-button suit really makes him look sharp.
Of the men I know who wear bow ties, most seem to be either doctors or lawyers. My stepdad (Asian) is one. He has salt-and-pepper hair and a mustache. So cute!
What an adorable (and polished and professional) look. The bag he’s carrying reminds me of a leather bag that L.L. Bean used to carry. I think it was called a “log tote” or some fancifully rustic name like that.
To digress, years ago, L.L. Bean made a very simple cotton backpack that came in red, and possibly green. It was wonderful. Why they stopped making it I’ll never understand.
It would be a funny coincidence if this fellow is Canadian because one of the most stylish men I know happens to be Asian-Canadian. He’s more of the vintage-tie-with-tie-bar type than a bowtie wearer, however.
This fellows name is Kenny and happens to be Japanese. He is a highly respectable buyer from the Japanese Store called Beams. He has an incredible eye and incredible style!

There is a casual and very comfortable look about how he wears the suit. Love the shoes.
Collar is a little funky however.

I think his suit looks ill-fitting.

I’ve never seen an Asian man wearing a bow tie. He has a great look.

where did you get the term “American Banker”?

“American Banker”?
I guess because his outfit looks like an old-school banker and b/c I only know what American bankers look like since I’m American.
Is there something about this look that screams Canadian to you?

I agree that the pant length in my book is close to perfect.
