The Sartorialist

This man has un je ne sais quoi romantic, his pose, his quiet look?

and his costume is lovely, love the colour and the little mouchoir a pois in his pocket…..

this is perfection. what a beautiful image.

spots on the tie and spots on the pocket scarf – excellent

he is very lion-like

I love this. It's so beautiful. Definitely saving this image and showing it slyly to my boyfriend.

He looks like the type of guy that doesn't care what he wears; it just so happens that he's wearing a very nicely cut and color coordinated suit. That's the best situation in fashion.

Love the way he put his outfit together – understated, stylish, conservative (like his haircut) – and what an expression! Is that the beginning of a smile, or mild disdain?

I won't say perfection since everyone else has but he is indeed the picture of elegance. This is how men should dress for a business or more formal environment. He could be English or French (my guess would be French but definitely the style Anglaise) but it hardly matters. This is how it is done.

Classic chic!

He looks very fresh and innocent. I love the hair!

It is nice, but a little bit Pee Wee Herman

I'm not quite sure I see what makes this suit particular. I like the detail in his handkerchief, but brown suits seem less interesting…

Classic and elegant!

BCBG, non plus.

"Mary said…

…….Er no…..flood pants and drainpipes are pee wee herman…..this is how adult, real men dress

I really love this colour combination – brown and blue! It is sooo beautifull!

This is how it is done indeed. Fiercely masculine regardless of trends.

Absolutely darling. I love how he plays with polka dots.

Ollie!!!!

An advertising for Hackett?

it wouldn't be half as good without the little mouchoir :-)

Very nice. Extremely classic and BCBG as others have written. I think the weather in Paris is just now becoming perfect for tweeds.

He is a man wearing a suit rather than a costume. He is coloring within the lines, and doing it very well. Less "look at me" and more "this is who I am". He is truly inspirational — none of the elements is particularly striking, but the combination looks so carefully put together. The light brown is just the right color for right now with the blue, and it makes the rather prosaic tie look rich and warm by contrast — perfect.

The hair is a throwback to the 1940s… most American and Western European men had this cut at that time. (Look at old WW2 photos.) The haircut goes great with the timeless suit. I love it when the characters in a photo play to timelessness in a way where you couldn't tell if it's 1940 or 2010!

The pocket square is the daring piece.

Nice touch.

Great! He looks like a young Christopher Isherwood. Or Michael York playing Isherwood.

This is my grandfather's look, and I mean that as a compliment. It is so difficult to find the ruggedly elegant suit that country gentleman used to wear (and by gentleman I do not only mean members of the gentry). As to Jack's comment about the sneakers, I do hope he was wearing something more poised.
