I love that mix with pattern (and i guess they come of better in black and white, but curious of the colors). His attitude to top the patternmix makes the picture even more fantastic!
Love the contrast of textures and pattern, you almost forget he is surrounded by concrete. The shape of the midsection articulated by the unbuttoned bottom of the shirt and slightly drop crotch denim is great. Nice proportion all around!
This is a nice photo-yes. But am I the only one who is having trouble appreciating the proportions of this outfit? Torso looks so-o-o-o lo-o-ng, and legs so teensy wee. I suppose this is a kind of riff on hip hop, but it's not working for me.
I love that this picture was taken in black and white as it draws your eye directly to the floral pring. Which leads me to my next comment: a guy is wearing floral print! J'adore.
though I wish boymen would wear their trousers higher (like a drop crotch pair of jeans could get a similar look without wearing trousers so low that there is a risk of the legs looking comical, perhaps?)
i love that you posted (or even took) a more urban hipster look… or whatever one would call this. it's different that your usual, to say the least. makes me appreciate your eye for steez (style and ease).
This picture evokes that foreign movie "La Haine" with a buzz-cut Vincent Cassell–classic eighties punk-rap chic with a French twist. Rugged devil-may-care attitude. Nice shot!
This is interesting because because it is different. At first look it's normal "youth" wear, which in itself is interesting enough to see on the sartorialist. Then you see the floral pattern and the shoes and it all adds up a really cool picture.
The quality of the picture and the photograph itself is beautiful but I am not big on the style. I feel I see this "look" everyday on the Vancouver streets, but thats just my opinion.
Great play with pattern and proportion. Overall appears effortless, exuding masculinity and confidence. Can not get over how much adoration I have for those boots, and appreciate that the photo is in B&W.
The jacket is insane! He emits a strong masculinity while wrapped in a floral pattern. Seemingly easy and unpretentious, and a bit tongue in cheek. Love it!
I love how he creatively blends his floral overcoat with his plaid button-up underneath. It seems like a complete misfit, but with his confidence, he can definitely pull it off!
Around the bend we go. Love him, youth at its best. I love to see a young person, male or female, "getting their look on". What fun! He is very serious. Great photograph.
The more I look at this photograph, the more I love it. Great contrast between light and dark and the various patterns in the pieces this young man has put together to make his outfit so incredible. I love his semi-tough posturing, but still there is a sweetness and vulnerability that belongs only to youth.
Its crazy those boots are the Opening Ceremony X Timberlands, I checked them out of the website and they dont NEARLY look as interesting. Thats a sign of true style, being able to wear an item and perfectly bringing out its potential (even more than the ads do!!!) Love this pic!

That floral coat is immense. I almost feel like it's been turned inside out and he's wearing it lining side out. So great.
As for the calls for more womens shots, meh! I prefer mens fashion and your take on it anyway.
