I'm a little split on this look. I think it's a beautiful photograph, but I think I'd prefer the belt a bit more subdued. I do love men in tucked in looks!
Oh I love this look on a man! Striped, boatnecked, longsleeved t-shirt and high-waisted slacks (long or short). Casual but so goodlooking. The shades are just perfect to it!
I like his style, especially the color combination of the stripy longsleeve and the shorts.He can wear this pair of shorts with a high waisted line, but I am sure it does not fit everybody.
I remember buying a sailor shirt like that in Kensington Market in 1987, wore it a lot, even backpacking in India, honestly can't remember why I threw it away.
Wish i had kept it now that the 80s is back…
They are a classic and if one can pull them off can look very masculine – not sure if I ever did though – this guy almost does; not quite sure if he absolutly gets it right; the shorts are a little too fussy which makes him look a little "Querelle" – although that might be the look he is looking to achieve…
i remember when double-belted shorts similar to these were widely available in vintage/surplus stores in nyc, such as unique clothing and reminiscence. they wore like iron and were affordable. options like that don't exist today.
carrieitly, so funny you should invoke fitzgerald here, as soon as i saw this young man, i instantly thought of gerald c. murphy, who had been the main influence for dick diver, of "tender is the night."
what great everything! what a really great jersey, (i wonder where he got it), and what a wonderful image to evoke, of a wonderful man and (that murphy) lifestyle.
Fazal is correct, I had those shorts in the 80's myself, purchasing them on Melrose in L.A. in it's early days as a shopping mecca. They were, i believe, British Army Surplus. The look wonderful here as does this entire ensemble. I also agree there is a sense of Scott Fitgerald about the look. I hope you show us more of him in future. Thank you.
I had a pair of these shorts a long time ago too and I loved them. They look good with the striped tee, and I always love a boatneck. I think it works well. Where do you get the sunglasses?
British army Khaki shorts. Worn also by Indian army, police. Uniform for Bermuda police. I got a pair in Bermuda when I was 14 and wore them forever. One of my sons found them and I haven't seen them since! Maybe once offered in J.Peterman! Nice look. I see their is a big return of round, classic specs, nice.
He wears his hear very classic, very chic! But men shouldn´t show their legs after the age of ten! There are few rules that are more worth not to be broken.
love it ! i love that the colours of the stripes match the shorts . the cinched waist is great , and the sunglasses are perfect . he looks incredibly handsome .
The clothes are lovely and yes flattering but on this fellow, it all feels contrived. Do not know why, just a feeling. And yes, I to recognized that he Kimball Hastings formerly of Teen Vogue now with Ralph Lauren. Gee! For a woman who is from and still lives in Ottawa, Canada, I sure do know my fashion gossip!! Thx, Artemisia
I like the shorts. But I'm entirely fed up with stripes this summer! There's been such a 'breton' fever since April that they don't look good anymore… They've been completely overdone – by shops, buyers and blogs!
I really like the shorts. I like the stripes still, because we are in the middle of winter and my stripe days are ahead of me :) I am extra happy to see that his glasses are almost exactly like my old Armanis with the mirrored lenses and round frames.. They are just waiting in their case for me to wear them. Should I wait or do it now ? :)
Khaki Drill 1949 shorts! Oh, how I love these, (even though they don't have any back pockets).
The subject is a cutie, but my 67 year old mother wears pretty much the exact same outfit everyday–including the round sunglasses. If he's also wearing lace up espadrilles with the little wedge heel like Salvador Dali, then I'll know for sure that he's been shopping in mom's closet.
I had shorts exactly like these in the 80's and I loved them! I had completely forgotten about them. I also had a top just like this one only opposite in color (black with white stripes). Used to wear them together too. Pretty crazy!
The colour combo is nice and the look is classic, very classic if you were raised in the Bahamas and saw these everywhere but pleated shorts and a high waist only look decent on a very slender man and even then can look rather too stiff.
Oh, I had those in the late '80s and they were so flattering. I'd wear them today in the U.S. so there! I'm old but still have a waistline and good legs.
Oh how funny, I'm another person posting who wore this exact outfit in the 80s, got my bombay bloomers and russian submariner shirt from a disposal store…and I think…I still have them…WOOHOO!
Oh my holy cow! He has 100% style! I love this look! The stripes gently match the tone of his shorts And the sleek hair looks very smooth with the high waisted look! I won't even comment on the shades.. because I want them! *claps hard*
With reference to Anon., above, I an afraid I agree about men and shorts-certainly not baggy cargoes- over a certain age (and over a certain weight)and body type. Reference the crowd on a golf match on TV. Generally just doesn't work, in my opinion. Perhaps the Sart. can present a little treatise on the subject?
Oh, absolutely. The colour is perfect. The glasses are perfect. And it doesn't hurt that he is so naturally beautiful. Like a cat. He'd probably look fantastic in a hessian sack, but he looks better in this.
You think the belted shorts are amazing, then you see the glasses and the outfit looks better ten-fold. Shorts like that require killer pins. Lucky for him.
I have 2 pairs of round sun glasses and 2 pairs of prescribed glasses. Not many people wear round glasses in Australia. I hope they will catch up soon.
Love that shorts. if a guy wear those shorts in Australia, they think that you are gay. I think that I can get away because I am :)
When I see a man in the U.S. whose style is so carefully thought out, I automatically assume that he is "on the other team", if you know what I mean (notthatthere'sanythingwrongwiththat). I'm not sure what to assume about men in France.
the contrast of his tan against the brown striped shirt works beautifully with how well he tucked them into those divine double-belted high-waisted shorts…and folded 1930s sunglasses in hand……
with the gorgeous backdrop of the beautiful trees and the Seine River to boot….
when a picture makes you want to be the person, or know the person and try to emulate the person's fashion choices/style….. and be in their shoes, or try to transport yourself there….is there anything more you can ask for?
I bought a pair of Ghurka shorts back in the late 80's. I wore them out. I wouldn't buy another pair now though. One go-around with these shorts was enough for me.
I did buy a horizontal sailor stripe shirt this season though. It gets a lot of feedback, most positive.
One can get these kind of shorts on Ebay. Check for Brit or Aussie shorts period WW II or 50ties. But beware they have a high rise waist and button fly. But that's what real men look best in. And yes they last forever.
K.H. is just beautiful…I turn to stone around him, so I guess my secret crush will forever just remain a secret crush…who cares about what he's wearing anyway.
I don't see many comments against a particular look so I thought I post mine. I think the belted shorts exaggerate his hips and make the look too feminine.
those shorts are vintage military shorts, european. i was the head buyer for a company that ralph lauren buys a lot of vintage from every season. i remember these shorts. it is possible that these are a remake of those originals, but they could be the original. those buckles are aluminium, i believe.
Spot on with this write-up, I actually think this website wants far more consideration. I’ll probably be once more to learn rather more, thanks for that info.

Love this look, as classic as you can possibly get. Great sunglasses. Very Parisian!

Wooow … inspiring … it has a 1920 vibe to it, doesn't it?

Oh my holy cow!
He has 100% style!
I love this look!
The stripes gently match the tone of his shorts
And the sleek hair looks very smooth with the high waisted look!
I won't even comment on the shades.. because I want them!

Too bland…the outfit is missing something…the colors aren't right?

With reference to Anon., above, I an afraid I agree about men and shorts-certainly not baggy cargoes- over a certain age (and over a certain weight)and body type. Reference the crowd on a golf match on TV. Generally just doesn't work, in my opinion. Perhaps the Sart. can present a little treatise on the subject?

he has a vintage vibe, definitely, but it's in his face as much as it is his clothes and his sunglasses. wonderful shot.

Oh, absolutely.
The colour is perfect.
The glasses are perfect.
And it doesn't hurt that he is so naturally beautiful. Like a cat. He'd probably look fantastic in a hessian sack, but he looks better in this.
no name.

When men's clothes come back into style, such as this ensemble from the 1980s, it makes it even more difficult for me to throw out old clothes!

You think the belted shorts are amazing, then you see the glasses and the outfit looks better ten-fold. Shorts like that require killer pins. Lucky for him.

I have 2 pairs of round sun glasses and 2 pairs of prescribed glasses. Not many people wear round glasses in Australia. I hope they will catch up soon.
Love that shorts. if a guy wear those shorts in Australia, they think that you are gay. I think that I can get away because I am :)

When I see a man in the U.S. whose style is so carefully thought out, I automatically assume that he is "on the other team", if you know what I mean (notthatthere'sanythingwrongwiththat). I'm not sure what to assume about men in France.

@SallyO (6:15 PM) -
What's wrong with U.S. men having "carefully thought out style"? And whether he's on this team, that team, or the other team is not relevant.

* sigh * this photograph is so exciting
the way his hair is combed is so sleek and clean
his classic good looks will make anyone swoon
the contrast of his tan against the brown striped shirt works beautifully with how well he tucked them into those divine double-belted high-waisted shorts…and folded 1930s sunglasses in hand……
with the gorgeous backdrop of the beautiful trees and the Seine River to boot….
when a picture makes you want to be the person, or know the person and try to emulate the person's fashion choices/style….. and be in their shoes, or try to transport yourself there….is there anything more you can ask for?
THANK YOU for this amazing shot!!!

I bought a pair of Ghurka shorts back in the late 80's. I wore them out. I wouldn't buy another pair now though. One go-around with these shorts was enough for me.
I did buy a horizontal sailor stripe shirt this season though. It gets a lot of feedback, most positive.

One can get these kind of shorts on Ebay. Check for Brit or Aussie shorts period WW II or 50ties. But beware they have a high rise waist and button fly. But that's what real men look best in. And yes they last forever.

I don't see many comments against a particular look so I thought I post mine. I think the belted shorts exaggerate his hips and make the look too feminine.

those shorts are vintage military shorts, european. i was the head buyer for a company that ralph lauren buys a lot of vintage from every season. i remember these shorts. it is possible that these are a remake of those originals, but they could be the original. those buckles are aluminium, i believe.
