the looks is very “parisian” to me, a simple basic black suit with punches of interest-pink shirt paired with dappled color tie,and the *funnest* hat ive seen in a while.
This is the by far my favorite look so far this season… It’s such a layered, detailed look (you yourself admited to noticing only the hat first), but with the closed-in view, you see just how complicated (i.e. successful) his outfit is. Kudos!
He makes me nostalgic for Richard Merkin who once walked these streets in full kit and now’s up the river. I doubt that this suit is vintage, judging from the button placement.

Great shot.

Wow, a black linen suit. This seems rare to me. I guess vintage given the mans other qualities.

What brio! What rakishness! Fascinating how top-button-only seems to work best. What a character. What combinations. What a way to start a Monday!

I love that one commenter “hates the hat” and the next “loves the hat”.

Awesome! Looking at the shoulder line and sleeve cap of the suit makes me believe it’s vintage.
