I love how his look feels so familiar but with his own unique approach: Jacket, pocket square, red watch…I wished I could see his shoes & socks! Thanks Scott.
I love how the pattern sort of blends with the stone pattern of the bench. Love it! The pattern is amazing, but it's so difficult to pull off without looking, well, bad, pretty much.
this photo here is gorgeous. the jackets print is amazing and love the simularity between that of the jacket and the rock bench/wall he is sitting on. great photo.
wow. that takes a certain confidence. he does pull it off. love the pocket square. but love more how the stone pattern of the wall he's sitting on mimics the pattern of the jacket!
i am wondering how the absolutely inappropriate comment referring to epilepsy could get approval? Epilepsy is a neurological disorder and neither funny nor fashionable.
WOAOAH I love all of it <3 It's amazing how Italian men (assuming that he is – correct me if i'm wrong) dare to wear colors. In the Netherlands.. and also in other West-European countries I have the feeling that people are scared to play with colors.
Never in a million years would I have worn that jacket with that shirt, but now I can't imagine it any other way. I mean what else would work? A regular dress shirt? Nah. Suggestions?

what an amazing blazer! love the lil purple hankie sticking out, also cool that hes paired it with a denim shirt. his jacket kinda matches what hes sittin on haha
Ahhhhh!! I just want to scream!! Okay I am screaming! This guys is the business! I am speechless, he's got me going… All the way. I am LOVING this blazer, the texture, the red watch and the denim shirt underneath. Breathtaking.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! loove the colours, jacket, and how the pattern looks with the rocky thing his sitting at. the mood of this photo is so dreamy. can't wait for spring to come!
His blazer and the stone wall on which he sits blend together such that at first glance, the blazer looks like a coat on which is sitting. I like the way you pay attention to background details.
Sartorialist, perfect combination of subtle yet loud. Liked the pairing of the strong lines in the jacket as well as the stone bench. Very handsome picture!
I love the purple pocket square. I also like that you call him a standout, as he definitely is, while his jacket almost blends in with the stone wall. He is beautiful.
the jacket is nice but not with this outfit. the purple pocket square, red watch, two blue denims…too much going on and too close to twee and not close enough to be off and therefore right. maybe a green pocket square and different colored shirt.
While black jeans paired with a blue denim shirt would spell death to most outfits the young man makes it fully formal with that jacket. I can imagine other men reserving such a jacket as a humorous addition to a black tie outfit, but this man rocks the black and white without such ploy or reserve. The casual addition of the florescent pocket square and the red wristwatch seal it.
Love the mixed denims (who can ever pull that off with success?), red watch and drop of puple in his handkerchief. Cute guy, too. A great and uplifting photograph.
First things first: stunning man. On top of that, the jacket is visually crazy but somehow fits his cool "You don't know what I'm thinking…" type of attitude. Loves it!
I think since this blog typically has such amazing photos, people tend to think they are missing something if they think someone looks bad. But in some cases, you have to admit it just looks bad.
I love the apparance, it should have been a lil lower, cause he was wearing purple socks. Great photo, amazing look, wonderfull person,! Anyway; follow mike on his own blog! http://www.chieffashionofficer.com
It is a very nice look, and well photographed. I like the way the pattern of the jacket is echoed in the pattern of the 'seat'. This also works very well because of the uncluttered background.
He is another Italian beauty. Wow, what an edgy outfit, I love what he has done. No fear here, with the mix of denims, the out of this Universe jacket and the purple silk in his breast pocket. The red leather watch band and simple leather "bracelets" on both wrists are simple, yet very sexy.
Ok, so I like the outfit…. but WOW!! I don't know if any of you guys noticed this: Look at the pattern of the jacket and then the pattern of the stone bench or whatever he is sitting on! I love itn the contrast ;)……
The jacket looks is the star of the photo, but when you look at his face he's totally got a look that shows that he is really the boss of this outfit. I need to meet more Italian men.
the fit of the jacket is what makes it for me. it is a great pattern, sure, but the fit is what allows him to carry it off with such self-asurdness…if that is even a word!
What I love about this is how it encapsulates what the italians call "spezzare". To North American men it may seem like a mess, but it's about reinterpreting the obvious so that it is not predictable and not pretentious…this is an idea rendered famous by Agnelli, but it continues to be the signature of Italians. It means reinterpreting what is perfect, making the sartorial human and not mechanical…It's harder than it looks.
