The Sartorialist

I'd like to steal this ensemble, right down to the sunglasses, and I'm a woman. He looks fantastic!

He looks great! As if he was stuck in time from the beginning of the century and just woke up trendy as hell! Love 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.

we love this pants….!!!

God,
I had those shorts 30 years ago~

where can i get those short…
seriously.
a high waist short for men… who'dathought

plus i've always been a fan of a long sleeve shirt with an above the knee pant…

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.

I like this shorts, nice and elegants

oh god, he takes my breath away………
this is perfection.

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.

living well really is the best revenge.

As a woman, I am jealous of that waistline!!! What a completely androgynous and cool outfit…

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.

So sleek. I love that this look as androgynous- it would look equally stunning on a woman. Great photo!

HE look great, love the colour combination, and the round glasses !!!
I really really like your streetstyle blog !!
keep it up !!

I have recently started my own blog, drop by and feel free to leave some message.

shades of the original banana republic on polk street!

I love everything about this guy! Really wish there was a picture of him wearing those glasses!

there is a tomboy/feminine look here. and a tad retro. it's the way I (a female) used to dress in the late 80s .

Beautiful outfit! I love the color of the shorts with the striped top.

Blast from the past. So refreshing and simple, but elegant and elevated. What Summer SHOULD look like.

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 .

so very 80's! I am having a Pines flashback!

Love this shot! He's an informal model.

that's perfect.

Impeccable look- from the striped shirt, high waist shorts to the cool shades.

Everything about this is awesome…not everyone can wear,but the individuals who decide too will look amazing in this look.

Kimball Hastings, no?

he wears those shorts too well! and ya i totally need those sunnies!!

I like the look but I have some mix feeling for it. The look as a whole looks good all together.. but something about it… hmmm nice glasses though!

nice! cary grant on a comeback. i'm a big fan of the beige/umber stripes.

Like the clothes and sunglasses, but the coif is a little too Ken doll or Hymie the Robot (from the old Get Smart series.)

Short+sunglasses are lovely! Armani did a amaizing thing with the round models last season.

gurka shorts – yes!
round shades – yes!
boat neck shirt – yes!

Totally classic, totally works on him. Great look. Great photo. Should I say it again? Ok, GREAT BLOG!!!

theballonrouge

Sunglasses are the BEST.

I LOve those, yes i do
and glasses too

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!

What a beautiful man. So stylish.

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 ? :)

Wow love his look, very polished and perfectly unisex, I could totally see myself wearing that outfit rolling the shorts hem!

I love these. The length is superb!

Nice shorts with the doubled belts…but too high-waisted i find and accentuate too much of the waist….prefer it to be more low-waisted.

I absolutely LOVE this look!!!!

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!

This is almost too French, but I am most definitely in love with the look.
great glasses.

Les parisiens, je les aime!

I am in love with his hight waisted shorts and round glasses.
LOx

Very cool and relax outfit. The glasses look great too.

High wasted shorts PERFECT

Am very taken by the palette and the silhouette but…

did he wax his arm hair?!?

Absolutely beautiful…great look and fabulous hairstyle!!

PS I loved the photos from Italy a few weeks ago, such great style, especially the older gentlemen.

Happy Week-end!

My kind of fellow. So masculine/feminine, too;-)

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

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?

Ghurka shorts…been trying to find some myself. Love the fit of those.

yummy :)

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.

That guy is amazing! Classical beauty with a nice classical outfit! I love.

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 :)

Makes you want to live in Paris!

Proof once more, we will never be as cool as Parisians.

love the belted shorts but what I really love is the rounded glasses; such a beautiful accessory.

so adorable shots..love his outfit too

@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.

great style… love the shorts and his glasses. he is handsome.

God, I wish my boyfriend would just once look this put together.

So Chess King has come back into business?

* 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 love this styl of shorts! What brand are they?

I'd love to see him wearing the glasses! Great outfit, but it only works on slim men I think (also the tucked-in shirt)

Where are these shorts from? I need them!

Man oh man, this man is handsome.

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 have these sunglasses !! they are SUNETTES !!! I' ve buy them at @ liberty london !

I love the colors! Soft and clean.

Whoa. High-waisted shorts for guys. Now that's something! AWESOME :D

he is beautifull
i love everything in his outfit

http://bulbizar.blogspot.com/

i love these round glasses and love the shorts. i just love him i think

http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/

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.

name one place in the world where this fella wouldn't get a kicking if he went out. or stayed in. terrible.

Great Gurkha shorts, love the round sunglasses

Picasso!
