the velvet… the loafers, the pants! the jacket. awesome mix of textures and colours.

You know Scott, this is a difficult thing to say, but I think he is my favorite of your regulars. He's just so cool and hot at the same time and he has style to burn (eg. he can wear a chocolate brown tie with electric blue pants and make them look harmonious)!

This was hard cos it was a tie between him and Giovanna, plus there are the other other favs like Yasmin Sewell and Eva etc but I think, for me, he wins.

I love those blue pants! It's such a fabulous color. I thought it was just going to be a man in a plain old suit… The blue pants were so unexpected!

Love the slippers. Belgian Shoes out of NYC?

What an interesting colour combination. The deep teal shoes seem to ground the entire look.

someone please tell me that the beauty of his pants (which is such an amazing pop of color) and the tie/bow on the shoe doesn't look amazing— i clearly need those pants in my life…and if they come in shorts

Quite nice.

that blue is just so stunning

The shoes kind of don't go with that outfit but I love the color of those pants. The bracelets also add a nice touch.

I love the colour of the trousers.
hugs

I love how all the fabrics in the outfit are of more or less the same weight, they seem to go together very well. It appears that both shirt and jacket have some sort of plaid on them? Interesting combination. He is wearing Belgian Loafers, which are always identifiable, togehter with Stubbs and Wootton. Love the outfit! Jorge from WPB

Love the pants and the loafers, not crazy about the upper half. When you have such an outrageous lower half, you really have to watch out what you do above the waist.

Very dashing and the Belgian loafers are a perfect accent to the look.

Those pants are stunning!

That's a great shade of blue..very vibrant.

Love, love, love the play of colour. I love the contrast of the blue in the shoes.

I love those bright blue pants! What a way to add a subtle hint of humor!

Wow. What a shot. I wish I knew what he was thinking/looking at or even what plan he was devising. Those pants…yes.

I mostly like the color-combination, and his shoes. Great picture!

i love the color of his pants and the fact that it's the most colorful thing in his outfit.

Love the Belgians and the cobalt color, but the rest ain't happening for me – a little too disjointed.

The blue of the pants seems too intense for a camera to even deal with. So cool!

ohh sweet calculated gauche. always love it when the pant gets jealous of the jacket for attention, and does something about it.

i adore his electric blue pants

What a surprising pants.

He's pretty bold to wear those pants. You have to respect that!

Anish Kapoor couldn't have dyed them better.

so amazingly european. im in love with the pants

Wow. Great pants

Best shoes of my life.

I am going to start following this man's Golden Rule…wear something that pops!! I like the pants, the jacket could be livelier, but consider this source of such style. Mr. R could make brown burlap look like the newest style you want to own. One of your finer subjects!!

Bright blue+exposed angles=guaranteed position on the Sartorialist.

I just lost my hearing. Those pants are too loud.

Oh, That color!!! Amazing!

When you travel to the Nether Shores of Colour Coordination you can risk getting very lost.

And I suspect the risks he takes are more enjoyable for us than they are for him. I mean, do you want to be doing business and looking down at those trousers all day?

Yves Klein pants!?

WOW!AWESOME!!!!

le sigh…Luca always makes me swoon.

I'd love to see this man standing up. Whe I first saw this photo, all I really notices was the bright blue pants. Coming back to it today I realize the three different shades and of blue perfectly set off by the two shades of red, not to mention all the different and luscious textures. Beautiful. Andersonesque.

Welcome back, Luca! Great as always.

Ditto to what Scott W said. I've been looking for the sartorial interpretation of Yves Klein's famous blue. Does anybody make these pants in a women's 28, or any women's clothing in this color for that matter?

Great photo Sart. Those trousers and tassel loafers look smashing together. The electric blue colour of the pants, in particular, makes me dream electric dreams. The chap's haircut isn't bad either. Beautiful.

its all about the tie and shirt+ collar combination to me!

how did the chair/shoe thing happen?

Glorious pants and utterly intriguing color combination.

Suede loafers without socks somehow look cool, temperature-wise, in a way hard leather loafers do not. Do they breathe better? They also look vastly more comfortable.

This color scheme works well because of Mr. Rubinacci's deep blue eye color which is hard to tell from this picture. People forget or never even consider that their eye/hair color works well to bring out colors not necessarily associated with general color palettes…

So those of you rueing about your red hair, get over it and be expressive!

Man, I love this outfit! The blue trousers really pops just right. Great textures, also.

beautiful colour of the pants !!
i want it ; ))
hugs

pants = amazing

he is one of my favorites.

Very daring and the blue really is electrifying. But for me, that's all I can see of the outfit and it has no balance. I'd prefer to make a statement with a tie or socks, something that doesn't detract from the whole ensemble. Clearly in the minority on this one though!

just lovely! italian men can get away with almost every look!

whew! those are some briches!!

Hate the outfit, despite all the glowing comments.

The blue pants take over the entire persona, dividing the man entirely in half…I like a jolt of color, but this is ridiculous.

I am outnumbered in my opinion, but wonder if it is not the man's reputation for dress or your photography that is bringing in the high marks.

Can't believe what I see, I'm really impressed.
