Ah! A completely wearable summer outfit. I have never been able to pull off the hankie around the neck but it works for him. Great picture! Jorge from WPB
No. Army shorts should only be the realm of construction workers. I used to be one and they used to look good on me whilst toiling. Step out of a site and I used to don my bestest threads. There's a time and place for everything. Clearly the gentleman doesn't have a watch and is probably lost.
Feeling the kerchief! Also comes in handy for the occasional face swipe down that is so necessary on these muggy NY summer days…. Come on you've done it!
I also like the nifty pocket pen.. He looks like a man with a plan of sorts…. where is he off to? Hmm I'm intrigued.
the hat and shirt nod toward a more dressed up summer look however, those shorts are in total disagreement and make the outfit much less special – not a well considered look.
It's a great summer outfit and his accessories are just perfect. Wish I could see the bottom part of the outfit. Are these shorts or pants? Also wondering what shoes he's wearing.
he looks like a slightly older version of my husband! very typical asian summer look. my spouse might have made the neckerchief a dash of color, though.
I have to say, after spending a few months at the Sartorialist, I started wearing one every so often. My wife likes it and, interestingly, older ladies smile at me and wave. It's like they are having a moment of historic recall.
Where my Mother is from, Panama, we call this the Panamanian shirt. Comfortable and great for the hot weather. My Uncles wear these shirts all the time.
Sorry, not feeling this one at all! The shorts are nasty, there's too much going on with the accessories and I have to admit I'm not a fan of the shirt either!
~effortlessly stylish. u can never go wrong with white tone aura on clothes, regardless of age and preference. i think what made the man noticeable is how he managed to accesorize paleness – from the details of the shirt, the pen on pocket, scarf, and the sytlish headgear.
Don't have to much to say about this one, as I can see from the comments your audience is torn on their opinion. I think the photograph is nice, but mostly, I just really like the hat :)
I think he's sporting a great summer time look~I adore his hat it has a cool quirky shape, I would love to have one just like it. He has great style going on
i'm still trying to get the tied scarf look down properly. still trying to tie the scarf properly, one. lol. old ladies do it the best, though, and coordinate it quite lovely… so i've seen.
From the neck up he's rocking. He could be an extra from "What's Up, Tiger Lily". But, like an earlier poster said, the cargo shorts are not in keeping w/ the theme.

Saigon retro style… the shirt fatigue pants persols under the hat.
I expect to see him crouched buy the wall of the US embassy with teh Marine guards as he draws a .45 on a grainy black and white TV film.

Careful there my son don't let your fountain pen leak on your nice white Guayabera. That would be most tragic. Kind of urban meets island. Nice shot…

that said, the gaucheness of cargo shorts turn playful when smartly contrasted with a structured top.
