The Sartorialist

I love this entire outfit, especially that jacket and those fabulous shoes…and also love the way the gentleman in the background is checking her out! It’s marvelous.

Hey-what’s that guy in the background doing? Checking her out? It just struck me as funny in this early morning, his swank position in the background :)

At last: simple pieces, great fit and form, wonderful play of textures and gentle colors. Preemptively–do we have to gripe about the jacket being some kind of skin? It’s exquisite–and really what’s the difference between wearing this fur jacket and wearing leather, eating meat, and using a multiplicity of products that are animal-derived?

LOVING the complete look, a modern day Annie Hall in Paris, clean & crisp color combination…overall she did one hell of a job putting this outfit together & how could you not love her effortlessly chic attitude? WELL DONE!

Incredible how much impact the right pieces can make, the shoes are perfectly balanced against those pants, and i love that shade of gray! The jacket comes off so polished against her hair! This is stunning lady!

Love the guy in the background. Priceless shot!

This is one of those great photos that makes me wonder “what is the story? What is she reading and what concerns the guy in the background…”

I love that the woman in this shot is not rushing the season. I like to enjoy the transitions and not leap past spring into summer.

Oh! The clothes… Love the shoes. Hope the fur is faux because the color and proportion are perfect. Normally not a big fan of so many pleats, but the fabric drapes so well, carrying off the crop. The bangles and the hard ware of the bad play off each other… subtle color scheme not screaming for attention. Love this.

oooo. she’s like a little spring bunny. nice furry coat.

i hate to see you go but i love to watch you leave.

haha look at the guy checking her out in the background haha priceless

Those shoes are delicious, Sart! Also, I’ve never been much a fan of pleats, but they WORK here. What a delightful way to welcome little darling spring. I think the man in the background would agree. :)

delightful shoes!

I have a hard time appreciating big pleats in pants. If that women had big thighs, I don’t think they would work. BUT she doesn’t and they look fabulous on her. A great example of how-to-wear. And I love the hair. And the shoes are a brilliant — really help make the outfit. She knows what works for her, that’s for certain. And with that sweater, it makes you so comfortable and cozy to look at her.It gives it a very soft look, yet very classy.

You’re missing the story here. The fellow’s expression clearly reveals his thoughts:

“Baggy pleats? So unflattering. Cropped mid-ankle? Makes her legs look shorter. What was she thinking?!“

I’m starting to be so annoyed with those fur-bashing cat ladies, along with those who can’t bear the sight of a cigarette (and I’m not a smoker). At least, there’s one category of comments Sart won’t publish anymore: The skinny hating ones.

By the way Sart, I think you mixed up your photos. This is Milan, not Paris.

this should be a mastercard ad
hair style: $###
handbag: $####
shoes: $####
man checking u out as u walk by: …priceless

she is gorgeous. i love her hair.
i love her shoes.
i have a hunch that pleats will be “in” in the US nxt year. they seem to be all over paris.

ick.

Gorgeous! The SHOES!!!

Among other things, the guy is wishing he should’ve tied a better knot and worn the good shirt this morning. C’est la vie.

I too find this fellow behind the woman very funny. He actually is checking the pussy and you caught HIM AT THE CRIME SPOT!

The shoes … Oh those shoes are beautiful.
Aparently the guy in the background thinks so also.

Hello

haha, i just love the guy in the background…

Sick shoes and pretty coat. But the chic attitude she gives off is apparent on the dude’s face and I find it hilarious.

-AM

Trousers, trousers, the volumed, shortened trousers with pleats (again)! Divine. I’m a bit fed up with skinny pants, although wearing them myself most of the time. But waaaaay too often. These are so fresh, fun, comfortable and giving the woman’s ankles the beautiful slenderness, grace and exciting exposure.

That IS classic! He saw what you did, Sart!

There is drama in this photo, and it’s due to the guy in the background giving her a quick look (which the camera caught). It’s all about the drama. It highlights what she is wearing and where she seems to be going.

T.

the guy in the background is so into her…love the shot

like the guy’s shoes

I love the shoes and the guy’s expression. The look is chic yet very casually throw together.

She is totally working those shoes!!!! I also love her pants.

That was an interesting read!

I agree with the anonymous that dislikes these shoes. I do think that they look good with this outfit, and I love cropped pants.

As a conscious fur cat lady, I have to say, that while fur is in fact beautiful, it is unnecessary, especially in this day and age.

If you must wear fur, go vintage ;)

Everything is spot on with this photo except the scourge of pleats. PLEATS! They make the shapliest shapeless. They are the high fashion equivalent of ironic trucker hats.

I love the photo – the lighting, the movement, the narrative. But her outfit does nothing for me. I guess I just don’t get it this time round.

This is Italy at its truest. Very nice shot.

she seems so natural,the hair,the colors of the outfit,very simple,but the result is so sofisticated….

Love her, love the shoes and the trousers. Looks so chic

done with Yale already?

Sheer perfection. Coat, shoes, loose trousers and hair. Wish I was her at the moment!

Of course, the man is eyeballing the woman. He is wondering why she is being photographed!

Great pants. Great shoes. Not a fan of fur, however.

love the pants..the shoes…and the guy starring…perfect!

Ah, the shape and length of the pants is amazing, the added pleating creates really nice volume. The silhouette is really nice looking and is an excellent transitory outfit towards fall I’d agree!

I love her choices. Sometimes, though,I think the commenters – especially the ones who share their creative-writing essays, are completely style-blind and are trying to hide it by overcompensating in their descriptions. To you, please, let the picture speak for itself.

oh those peeptoe oxfords…

I love that she’s taking risks, those pants are difficult without the heels ..not good, and she knows it! that’s why she puts on the furs, perfect balance takes the outfit into a contemporary and sophisticated level instead of in a fatal trip back to the 80′.
Well done, Mr Background know is it too!

Are those by vivienne tam?

I think this is what we would see more (well, in the perfect world at least) if would think of spring as a mix between winter and summer instead of it being all own season.

wow! your rack focusing from the girl to the guy is fantastic! i’ve always wondered what kind of camera do you use since your pictures keep getting better and better with each blog =)

a big fan,

*j

gorgeous shot!!!! love it!

The irony of the fact is that is that it’s SNOWING here tonight in Paris

love love love the outfit…anyone know where the pants and shoes are from? and the jacket! fabulous. i think it is gucci westman, creative director of lancome….

fab photo sart!

PERFECTION!!!! Chic and sexy without showing any skin. This is how the modern woman should look!!!

Absolutely wonderful. Love it all, so delicate for Spring… and especially those shoes!

Those shoes are by Matthew Williamson.

Thank you for posting such lovely pictures. They are very inspiring!

Love the colours, the textures and the brilliance of how she combined some difficult-to-wear pieces in this look. Stylish yet casual. This ensemble creates a impression that it was “just thrown on” but it was undoubtedly more carefully thought out. Adore this look!!

Also love how you captured the movement and made us all curious about the story behind this shot Sart. Could make up 1001 captions to go under this picture.

I want those pants, anyone know where to source these????

mathew williamson?

They look the same as Loboutin’s but with a thicker band width bridging the two sides of her feet…and probably the colors.

I’ll bet the guy was thinking, “Is she famous? Why is that guy taking her photo?” And of course, “Hey, she’s kind of hot…”

All I was thinking when I looked at this photo was…I wish I could afford an outfit like that. I don’t often think that in life – am quite happy to have a modest one – but this outfit is in the fabrics. Sigh. Will have to find a sugar daddy after all. :)

Are you aware that your work is entering its Jeff Wall-influenced stage? Congrats to that!

what a gorgeous look- interesting bodyshape- the shoes are twisting the whole outfit !

perfect hair! love the shoes!

Wow, che bella milanese ;)

Great shot too.

really love her shoes!
