The Sartorialist

I like the jacket and the neck scarf

love the trousers and the belt…
was hoping to bump into garance and you in berlin… (for the fashion week)…
we loved berlin!

It's sophisticated fashion with a rural charm! Loose trousers and tighter fitting top portrays a wise and intelligent persona, – great stuff!

Baggy jeans – again ?

Luckily I kept my baggy jeans from the last time this cut was stylin' – like 5 years ago.
I have learned not to get rid of any clothing as styles seen to come and go so quickly anymore, one must be prepared for any shift that will predictably show up again in 5-10 year cycles.
Now if square toed men's shoes would only come back into vogue…

Looks like some kind of Turkish / Oriental shape to me, but then nobody would wear a Hermes belt with Ottoman-era trousers… All the rest is perfect, salt and pepper beard, scarf, cardigan…

not too sure about the Hermes belt or its length…

can never seem to figure out a good way to incorporate a scarf into my fits. gotta work on that more. his looks great on him!

I like his scarf (or neck piece or whatever you call it for a man)

His slacks appear to fit him poorly and I'm unsure about what he's wearing on top of his shirt…..a tiny sweater?

The Hermes belt buckle screams INSECURITY to me, but anything "logo-y" always does. (like a need to validate your sense of fashion by showing an obvious logo)

He's not blowing me away with his outfit, but he's got some attitude!

These are certainly the most elegant baggy jeans I've ever seen. And the Hermes belt… nice!

The belt is just boring. The rest is great, especially the trousers.

I like the belt with the jeans.

Baggy jeans = no, no, no, and no.

love this guy… i feel like he has great stories to tell!

cool blog!

Absolutely flawless.

Hmmm…makes me think of a puzzle….when every piece is put in…and then you see the big picture finally…and it's PERFECT! :)

that neck scarf is a welcome surprise!

Me encanta el pañuelo!! Es perfecto y completa el look!

Great pants and scarf…wish more men had such a good taste.

I agree with ANONYMOUS above"souless contrivances"…well put Old Sport. Hooray for the original Levis that sag in all the right places!

love it .

LOVE THAT MAN!!!

anonymous who talks about "denim's utilitarian roots" is probably just mad because they don't dress this well. I live in the city and don't know anyone who wears denim for it's "utility."

Psh.

Let say hes baggy balanced…. ;)

This outfit is hideous. The scarf is just okay. I've seen guys rock that much more iller. I hate pleats. I think it's his glare that makes it.

Baggy can work for a tall guy, but when you're 5'7'' and 135lb. (like myself) you look like Aladdin minus the nifty vest.

Like the idea, but not the execution. Belt is quite tacky.

I am not sure these denims are actually baggy as we have known it, but more harem style baggy. I think they look great–and I Iike the rest of the outfit, esp the scarf as it lifts the whole look. A generally well groomed gentleman.

very true

I must agree with some of the earlier comments that the look at me H on the belt is a bit much. No need to brag. The rest of the outfit looks great – if a touch too put togther – I think Australians share the feeling with most Americans that men shouldn't look like they parade in front of mirror excessivly before hitting the street (even if they do).

If only all men dressed like this.

i feel so 90s'

looks relaxed, but carefully coordinated.

I like the guy in the back, with the red trousers… did you take his picture aswell, would have liked to see his outfit with a clearer view?! But also liked this guy of course, stylish and yet relaxed.

The proportions seem wrong but maybe because they're new to me. Nah. Don't like the super baggy pants; they look sloppy.

But I do like the short jacket, casual shirt, and colorful ascot.

that's what i call a "flavour man"…
i love the flavour of this outfit!

superb look!

too chic to speak…..

Me too.I love de scarf and the Hermes belt.I want the scarf and NOW.

The light blue in the shirt and scarf work nicely with the grey in his beard. Neck scarves are win.

Jonathan,
its nobody's fault you live in the suburbs..Denin IS UTILITARIAN. end of discussion.

everything but the trousers.

I like the pant…great class

This man is awasomy chic and sophisticated. He looks great in this baggy jeans, however he seems to be also a very tall man. I do think that this cut is really suitable for very particular figure'shapes (both: men and women)

I am not a fan of this type of jeans, I do really think that to wear them well you have to be very, very self – knowledgeable…

Yikes! My 80s fashion come back to haunt me in the form of an older gentleman:/

Interesting look, but I feel that he tried too hard. The scarf is awesome, the baggy jeans are sort of cool, the belt is an attention grabber, the jacket (or whatever that is) is interesting, but together, it's all too much. I don't think the whole is greater than the sum of the parts here, but he's still a handsome man!

Great look. He makes me feel better about genes with a tendency of balding. Scarf is great, love the simple combination of plain+neutral and patterned+bright. The jeans remind me of the harem pants trend that has been up for some time now. Looks good on men too, if you have the right spirit. Never though jeans would be the fabric though…

I like the jeans, they look comfortable, but the rest of the outfit, not so much. It just looks like he's trying too hard.

And what happpend with the man in the background???

LOVE that style! Looks amazing! Only in Italy, ha?

I love when a man embellishes his outfit with a scarf- a very flattering addition.

Very nice, sleek and sexy. Is that a cashmere sweater? I love the addition of the scarf and the Hermes belt. I'm in love as usual!

I really like his outfit.

I'm surprised so many people like the pants. They look terribly out of place to me.

This man seriously looks like Fat Boy Slim. Is that him or his evil twin?? c'mon people!

That's great!
But still don't understand why Italians love to make "H"
belt stand out.

I like the look of his watch, and the relaxed pant.

However its the chap sporting the red pants, white shirt and navy sports coat in the background that caught my eye. Glasses too perhaps?

Oh, no! No baggy pants. I loved the fact that pants got tighter and shorter and think my husband looks v. good.

The jeans look ridiculous!

I know him, he works in fashion in berlin. I like his style and i adore wide le trousers in every way…even the slightly oriental way.

I believe you already 'looked forward' with the original baggy pants picture you took a while back, almost a year, it was the gentlemen at the Ralph Lauren show with the yellow blazer and baggy jeans combo with the shaved head and full on beard. He carried this look far better. I think its on the style.com site as you never posted it up on the blog

Sara

lovely ;)

Like the scarf, and the look works with his body type and demeanor (ergo, it's a great example of personal style), but I don't like the pants per se at all. I find the sillouette they create aesthetically unappealing on most people. Hate the belt, too… why would someone secure enough to wear this look resort to An Obvious And Tacky Logo?

I guess I am in the minority but nothing about this works and I'm trying to be polite here. He looks decades older than he actually is. Baggy pleats don't work. Cardigan, in summer? The neck scarf is choking his posture, the beard is an unattractive scream for attention. The belt – i HATE logos as style, they are EGO on display, like tagging.

so classic but so progressive, so fashion-forward but so personal. i can see how many would dislike this outfit, but the individualism and elegance is, to me, unbelievably striking. a true modern gentleman.

cool look! especially when worn with the scarf!

This look is very modern. Love it! Elegant without being uptight. I would prefer it without the scarf!

Bunny Bee

Gosh he reminds me of someone but can't place it. He looks like maybe he has narrower shoulders, and I think this jacket works very well on him. Those pants are great and I love his attitude!

Looove this outfit!!!

where can i buy this pants in Milan???

just please say no to baggy jeans

Imagine this guy *without* the scarf. Thatsa-lotta-neck.

The man has confidence but the jeans and belt are truly truly truly awful.

Hermes belt… must-have-fashion-item!
