The Sartorialist

Wow- the look is decidedly vintage, I wonder if there is a piece that is brand new. The most significant item is perhaps the suede jacket, I am sure most of us would see it on a rack and have a hard time figuring out how to match it with other things. Even though we can’t see the belt, the proportions feel right- the cuffed hems give him a poor-boy feel that is quickly counteracted by the Gucci briefcase, perhaps the one new piece? Good combination, overall. Jorge from W Palm Beach

the bag is probably brand new …

He works well with his silouhette
the flare is exaggerated yet flattering both on the jacket and the jeans

and the juxtaposition is very very clear like Jorge said
I think this is the only way to pull off a Gucci bag with such ostentatious print

Agreed, he has a definite style. Love the proportion of the wide-leg jeans. He looks good.

Rocking the 70′s thrift shop style.
I think that he pulls it off.
Is that a watch on his right wrist? It doesn’t look like the shirt cuff.

Vintage leisure suit look… hmm… ummm… well… at least it’s not polyester.

this is one of your best photos, the light is great, and the look…adorable

Ah, Supafly!! OMG, how much do I go for that look!! I love it!

It’s a good look, but I am just amazed how he can wear that jacket in this humidity and heat.

not at all sure about this look – the jacket’s too big, trousers too wide for such skinny guy; not my cup of tea

The silhouette with the strong a-shape of the jacket and pants is very effective. A sign of what’s to come.

That is someone I would stop and look at twice. Very sharp.

An inspiringly successful use of vintage. I would never have thought of putting a shirt like that with the jacket, but it totally works. Suits him to a t.

I love the jacket. Amazing piece. 2 things dont work for me though. First, the bag seems alien to the whole dress and also the color is fighting a bit with the color of the jacket. Second, and this is just my prefference, the waist could be a bit lower. But overall, when the bag is dropped, it is an amazing match.

This looks is all about the great proportion of his clothes to one another and his body. This look could easily fail on a less exacting man.

I’m starting out biased as 70′s style really isn’t my thing overall but this outfit is just a little too huggy bear for me. Maybe each piece with something else would work better for my eye.

Love the color of the jacket though.

too long… jacket too long, trousers too long. i don’t like so much.

This could be laughable on some, but it looks good on him. That’s what style is about. People who master their own style and are comfortable with it look good.

Some people follow trends blindly, others follow rules and dress codes blindly and lecture others about how bad their unconventional taste is, and both of these are victims who fail to understand the concept of true style.

Will always looks amazing!!! I might have to steal that suede coat next time I see him.

well thought out. not sure i like an outfit that looks well thought out, but you can tell it was. it’s put together. i like a little more bohemian edge.

OK I love how he wears the pants high and still looks good in a long jacket.
But I gotta ask this first for I live in NYC:
It’s still humid and hot I sweat walking around the city even in a short sleeves.
So I bet this guy would feel hot no matter if he sweats or not, and do you recommend enduring the heat (or chilliness in winter) to look good?

That is to say, doesn’t a real good fashion include being in a harmony with time, place and occasion?

This question also goes to the lady below who wears white dress (which reminds of a toga)in that she’s wearing it in rain.

I can’t wait until fashion week is over.

Looks like my Dad in 1972.

Sidibé on the street, beautiful.

hot daaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn

don’t like that orange outfit on men

Excuse me Sart: is there anything special to talk about?

Everything about the bag tips the entirety into skipping across the traffic…like a big yawn.

< POOF ! > "Where am I ?
What's this little Thing in my right hand – and Why does it say 9/7/2008??"

Seriously cool retro right down to the Gucci bag and gold watch. Good looking guy too

I love the outfit, but I wish that this gentleman wore a clean-shaven look. He would be much handsomer if he did!

Love that jacket!

THATS MY FRIEND!

WILL THE GREAT!

for some reason he reminds me of the invisible man by ralph ellison. really fascinating

this is a lovely photo with gorgeous light

He looks great! Love that retro look. Top marks.

He really looks good and should be given a long term multi million dollar modeling contract. I am his proud mother.

I don’t think it looks bad, but the proportions look off to me. He looks a lot shorter than he probably is.
