Beautiful, simple, timeless, classic, with the quirkiness all in the pants. This looks like a beautifully crafted piece of tailoring. Yohji Yamamoto? I'm loving it….
I'm feeling pleased that I bought myself a similar striped shirt from Marimekko. When Vancouver cools down I can't wait to wear it – maybe with very high heels, as suggested.
Looks like an escaped prisoner. I am not a fan at all. I can't wait until we get past this whole capri/ankle showing dress pants phase of fashion. It looks like these pants were rolled up and not made this way. Was it raining out?
I've never been to Paris…but I can only imagine rolling my eyes every time I see someone dressed in a striped shirt like this. It's akin to wearing a beret or something an old caricature of the French would wear. Insert cigarette and neck scarf as well? Stripes are classic everywhere else but Paris it seems. There it's just a parody. Correct me if I'm wrong.
WOW…I never thought I would see bold stripes and blazers worn with such unexpected femininity. Are those harem pants? I've never seen them on a man! What confidence!
yeah… someone beat me to it but it's worth repeating. If you have the good fortune of finding yourself in Paris it means that the Gods are smiling favorably upon you. The least you can do to acknowledge your good fortune is to smile.
I love how the obvious combo look unexpectedly fresh on him. The wall has vertical stripes, shirt also but, his hair and silhouette is lithe ,vertical & contrasting element. The facing of the pocket flap being white, also cool.
I love the stripes. An outfit so classic and effortless will be timeless.
The glasses? Not so much, I'm all for a modern take on fashion, but I'm not keen on them in the slightest. Each to their own, without individuality, the industry would be nothing..
he's nothing compared to some of the other "stripes" shots you've posted. but i do like the striped building behind him, which sort of makes the photograph rather fabulous.

~stripes have always been classic, . i love the black top that goes on top of it, it silenced the whole street attitude and turn out to be semi formal – with shorts as a twist.
The concrete wall in the background wears those pre-cast stripes so well.
I love the juxtaposition of the roughened facade texture compared to the rigid horizontal lines formed by the channels.
Brilliant on so many levels such as acoustic and aesthetic plus you can use the grooves to conveniently display your ST Dupont lighter or rest your shoe in the event your shoe laces become undone.
