The Sartorialist

It’s almost as though he planned the hat, skateboard and bag.

Fantastic look.

Great bag, love the combination of scater and glam.

i love this image, but from my own experience (i am not saying that can’t do it) it is almost impossible to skateboard on sandals, really painful as well if you want to do tricks, but anyway he’s adorable

he was holding his sons skateboard

This may be “just” a person on the street, right? There’s no point in analyzing it in terms of fashion although he obviously isn’t oblivious to it, or at least to style- he’s trying to look good and he does.

I love love love that hat!

Nothing he has is individually impressive, but he does accessorize well. His whole outfit is rich and full as a result. Instead of relying on a single gimmick, it is a complete outfit. Not my look, personally, but the idea is the right one.

Yes for New York. I love everywhere you shoot. But I confess I feel the Ny spirit more than any. Its not always a class attack of designers and suits. New York is everyone.

Oh, man! That’s cutting it too close, if you know what I mean.

You make everyone look like they just stepped out of a magazine!

An excellent example of how looking good has nothing to do with wearing expensive stuff.

Another accessory pile-on. But that said, the proportions and colors on him are gorgeous. He looks like a cool breeze off the ocean.

It’s “The Attitude” that makes this work.

in two years, are you going to
photograph him wearing a goofy suit
and proclaim your influance?

I love it – it’s fit to be an NYC postcard.

I WANT THAT GOLD BAG!!!

CLASSIC PRICELESS NYC!!!!

Love the hat. Not so sure about the bag though…

No movie here! this is it: NYC baby.

For those of you who don’t see the style in this, let me tell you what I see that makes me regard this guy as stylish: the roll brim of the hat and its jaunty angle; the shape of the sunnies; the necklace the sunnies are hanging from; the double strap wrist band; the yellow ring; the double wallet chain (each different); the gold lame bag (perfect!) all accessorizing what is basically cut-offs and a tank top. That’s great personal style to me: not expensive, not trendy, not obvious, not forced, not overwrought. The skateboard and the kerchief (kid’s shirt?) that is hanging out of his right pocket are bonus extras. The stare is the capper.

You still may not agree that he is stylish (chacun a son gout), but that’s what I see when I look at this pic.

He looks amazing! I’m loving the way he accessorized his outfit…the ‘bracelet’, the ring, the bag, the scarf thingie in his pocket, the hat and the necklace. This guy is Eddy Grant, a random surfer dude out of California, Basquiat(like another above poster mentioned), Caribbean rude bwoi all rolled in one. Rockin’ photo, Scott. :]

thank god! i’ve been missing your coverage of really casual summer looks….

To me, simply put…this picture is a great pairing of different shades of blue and yellow/gold. From the chains and his bag, to the straw colour of his hat, matched with that bright top and jeans. The red scarf in his pocket adds that hit of red.

Looking at this guy makes me want to sit outside, even on the hottest smoggiest day, put on some tunes and have a nice long cool drink! This picture just says “summer in the city”. I love it.

Its take a true sense of style to look like you put no thought into an outfit. He executes this flawlessly…..plus, he looks like someone you want to hang out with!
