I almost want to describe this as a very “well-tailored casual” look but to call it tailored doesn’t seem right. It is not tailored but just “well-proportioned” or “well-fitted”
The jacket length is good, the sleeve lengths are good (if not a little fashion-forward) and the jeans are slim but not tight.
So often we call casual is actually just sloppy.
This takes “casual” to higher level.

Nice photo. I actually quite like it. Sure, the jacket is a bit short and the sleeves slightly too long. But it’s a nice look in a retro punk sort of way. It reminds me of what my club-going friends wore in London in the mid- to late-’80s. Well done.

YUM! Sometimes well-dressed guys can look a tad wimpy or effeminate IMO, but this guy is totally male and totally hot.

Great build. He looks so good. I like the seemingly used leather of the shoes. Perfect look for that guy. Pleasure for the eyes.

This gives us an idea of a “new” way to put the shorter jacket to use.
Proves again that mixing disparate elements can equal far more than the sum of their parts.
Also helps to look like this guy.

It is amazing what some people’s definition of casual is.
this, is indeed actual casual.
Sweats, runners, etc belong in a gym, but most people don’t seem to realize this.
It is especially troubling, as I see casual wear in its most sloppy and worst form at my part-time job, at a grocery store. People do not realize that dressing casually means that you are presenting yourself to the world, in a weekend format. Ok, you can ditch the suit…but how about a smart pair of trousers, or dark jeans, a shirt of any type, and a blazer can make a perfect weekend look, paired with either smart sneakers (Purcells), or a nice pair of loafers or lace-up…or even mix up your casual wear with more “dressy” attire.
I suppose people’s definition of casual wear comes from their background, however, not age.

This is really well put together. I’m in awe. I especially like the way the straight jeans meet the shoes, if that makes any sense. A minor caveat: it is difficult to tuck into such low pants. The jacket makes it work, I guess.

um, i’d go with “well proportioned”. the clothes are nice, too.

I just don’t get what wearing a loosened tie is about. Just something else to land in a drink. (Or course, I like to wear hats ….) And the slim jeans seem a bit too tight around the waist. Could be that’s just the photo. But it does look relaxed.

I’m sorry, maybe I mistake, but you think that his jacket sleeves are too long ? But they seem to arrive just at his wrists : isn’t it the right length ? or should sleeves be shorter and arrive above the writsts ?
And I just have a criticize : for me goog casual lokk implie polished shoes, which is not the case…

Very sharp look, although as always, being “really really ridiculously good-looking” never hurts a fashion choice.

I think this photo should be saved & redistributed in all office Dress code handbooks to define “Business Casual.”
He looks great, I especially like the wash on his denim’.

That’s not an easy look to pull off… It’s nice to see men who are able to work with their build and dress it appropriately! He looks fit, not emaciated.

Holy hunk! Love the colors, esp the jacket. Still not in love with the tightness around the ankles, but I really can’t complain. He has such rugged good-looks that he can get away with and offset them with sleak silhouettes and styles where other men may come off looking too femme (when they don’t want to be).

The jeans are a still a little too slim, imho; they make his legs look skinny. But this is a mighty fine looking man, and the shoes and top half of the ensemble are terrific.

See, “slim” jeans are where its at. This guy doesn’t look like his jeans are causing curculatory damage to his legs. But, if you have sausage legs and more than one pair of tight jeans, its time to throw them out.

Perfect balance of formal elements (tie, jacket) with casual (jeans, loose tie, flared sleeves, shoes etc) and relaxed implementation.
Especially like that he uses the jacket… it’s such a handsome piece but tricky to get right in a casual look.
Nothing earth-shattering but a look a lot of guys could pull off (and look good in) especially those who work in creative/casual workplaces.
Actually the skinny tie and lapels, the cuffed jeans and shaved head all remind me of the old ska / mod look of the late 70s and early 80s (the Specials, the Jam etc)…

I know this guy. He’s the store manager of the John Varvatos East Hampton store. He always looks great.
I love his look here. His suits are always “well-tailored” with a little bit of “rugged” incorporated.
Very cool looking.

Daper Relaxed, Refined sportswear, or Fit-casual??? Who cares he LOOKS great. Aside from the wolf whistles of a few and the sleeve coat tal, who dosen’t love a well put together man. He posses confidence and a certain je nes…who cares. I love confidence and representation , and this fellow enbodies it.
I toast him and his style!

I like this look as well. but as noted, he IS the store manager at John Varvatos. He probably gets all those things at a heavy discount. Like all those best dressed lists etc, it’s a bit of an unfair advantage when you have easy access to clothes whether it’s money or discounts…
