We’re hitting that time of year when a chunky cardigan is, maybe, all you need for outerwear.

Love it… so old school. Would love one for myself for winter. An over sized knit like this, in this colour would be perfection

Short trousers never looked this cool. A real inspiration.

I do love the look, but all I can think about it how cold his ankles must be.

Even though I was forced to wear maroon pants for my catholic school uniform, I like this cardigan and I think he wears it well. Looks great paired with a basic white shirt and a tie. Hopefully these gents will be plentifully compensated for many many years so they never regret buying/altering their pants to such a short inseam. My only beef is the shoes, which are in desperate need of some edge dressing, but perhaps he was going for this look. Great picture! Jorge from WPB

He forgot his socks and to lower his pants. I guess he was trying to spice it up a bit so it would not look so boring. The cardigan and the shoes are okay, I like the maroon.

Nice look. Lovely photo. I like that he isn’t wearing socks, it’s not an obvious choice, unexpected.

The burgundy agains that blue is just divine.

I love everything about this look except the lack of socks. All I can focus on are his bare ankles.

I think he looks great (of course the pic is well composed, as always, Sart).
Playful outfit. He looks very comfortable and relaxed; it’s a “dressy”‘ alternative to a cotton hoody!

heehee it reminds me of a sweater ron weasly’s (from harry potter…)mother would knit for his christmas! snitch wings and all!
enough geeky references, as well as making me giggle at my own uncoolness it is actually a very well put together outfit

It does kind of look like a Harry Potter sweater, :)
This is a beautiful picture. I love the color of the sweater with the forget-me-not blue wall.

This is it. Although I keep thinking about the blisters he’s getting on his heel or how uncomfortable his feet are! What’s The “R” stand for?

This works….except bare ankles with Brogues or Oxfords always reminds me of the Great Depression or post war European refugees where for many it was necessary, not the best ideal to reference.Bare ankles with loafers or most other “slip on” footwear is another story.

I love the colors, and I’m a huge fan of bulky cardigans. The crest ruins for me, though, and I have to admit I don’t get sockless with sweater. Kinda like wearing a parka with sandals.

Great cardi with the tie! And I love his striding purposefulness.
However, leather shoes without socks is like a nail scratched down a chalk board for me. Sorry!

I own about three of these type of sweaters from Ralph Lauren–they are are best and very stylish. I am not sure about the no socks things though.

This guy looks so much better than most of the jazzed up dudes I see on this blog. He obviously doesn’t have to try so hard to make some sort of LOOK-AT-ME statement(gag!)
Whoever captured him has a great eye.
‘Cardigan man’ is chilled out but still vibe’n with his short pants and sock-free leisure. plus, those shoes are so classic they could never look bad.

I guess I am getting old because I just don’t understand the whole no-socks and short pants thing that so many of you seem to love. Are bare ankles the male version of cleavage?

Very handsome man. There’s definitely an aura of nostalgia in this style– very prep school, but all grown up, and never contrived. If I had to nick-pick, it’s that binder he’s carrying…
And that serene shade of blue of the wall is amazing with the burgundy and gold of his cardigan.
Love this. Thank you Sart.

I don’t think I’ll ever be on board with the sock-less look. Maybe my feet sweat too much :(

Is anyone besides me thinking “R= Ravenclaw/ Maroon and Gold= Gryffindor/ wings= golden snitch?”
Either way, I love that he looks like he has been hanging out in the archives at Hogwarts and is late for convocation.

I'm soooooo tired of the no socks grossness comments. I love the look and pull it off regularly. But, I always, always wear loafer socks from Johnston & Murphy. Perhaps he wears something similar. Cut the guy a break. Also, if you spray your shoes with foot spray and decide not to wear socks – you'll be perfectly fine.

totally dig the no-socks and above ankle length trousers. The revealing of bare ankles breaks up the look and breaks it away from complete preppy-ness.
