o làlà! Nice, the dots and the squares, and the “hanky”.
(A bit too much brwon overall for my personal taste though)

Are his pants black? I really like the jacket, overall its a great look but I think I would have added some more color in the tie

mmm chocolatey delicious!

Great looking guy. Great tan, good hair, and great sunglasses.
I don’t see anything exceptional about the clothes.
I think this is a case of “the man makes the clothes” instead of “the clothes make the man”.

Very nice but I wanted to tell you, I loved the photo of you in this month’s French Vogue.

Now I’m a big brown fan myself, but this is way too much. But hey, the Bahamas was so much fun (over tan), why not just let the fun go on in NY??!

VERY Marcello… well done sir.

I love his jacket/tie combination.

Aviators to be big this year?

Is homeboy posing? Wonderful!

I am wondering the same thing about the camera settings. Could it be wide aperture for short depth of field? I’m still experimenting!

Love the chocolate with the white, the subtle attention to detail (tie and hanky), and the well matched up windowpane of the jacket. Best of all this guy looks as though he is ready to burst out laughing… not taking himself too seriously.

not into the (fake?) tan or the tie knot. like the browns w/ the white though…

This guy has spunk! As a big fan of brown, I really like this look overall. Love the patterns on the tie and jacket.

the tie is a bit too big for my taste. but hell this is one expensive outfit. and he knows how to carry it. gotta give props for that.

I find this a bit too matchy matchy.

he wore it well! nice combination with a perfect fit!

I love the mix of tan on chocolate patterns with the play between the plaid and the small shapes on his tie, and the serged border of the pocket square.
But, don’t tell me, those pants aren’t black, are they!?!

First I thought it’s George Clooney, but then I saw the perfect dress he was wearing and rapidly discarded that thought.

Who would have thought that brown suits with brown ties can be so chic?

Super cool.

Trying to sell brown to an American was one of the hardest things when I worked at Brooks Bros.

I posted at 4:10 PM and missed 11:22 AM asymetrical tie bar comment: great catch. I don’t know if you’re “right” but I’m absolutely in agreement with you.

I certainly adore this particular shade of brown, there’s a lot of wine in it. It looks very crisp with the white.

Scott, the new GQ has (besides your pics and comments on Parisians) a few words elsewhere on “hand in the jacket pocket” as an effect – or affectation.

Like the shades – a variant on the Persol 649/714 shape, by … can’t quite place them.

One again – when you go gray it’s time to wear brown, even if you never did before.

I guess I’ll be the minority view here, but I think the black pants are perfect with this jacket. It’s the tie that’s off! A black, (yes, black) tie would play off the hair and the pants and pull everything together, imo.

Oh lala he is totally working this outfit! I absolutely love it on him, it’s so unique.

Whats the name of those sun glasses? I need them now.

I second the sunglasses comment.. Where can I get some?

Yes, wide checks are in. Cool sunglasses.

Speaking of French collars and big tie knots. This gent has it nearly perfect.

I have never understood why American men tie such tight knots in their ties. I think it hides the tie, so why even wear a tie if you must hide it.

I tie a loose and big knot on most every tie I wear and lately I am wearing almost only the French collar which works really nicely with a well fitting suit.

sophisticated without being studied, elegant without being pretentious. well done, sir.

Great outfit! It is not that easy to wear a jacket with this kind of checks (size) in a good combination. The pattern of the tie fits nicely to the jacket, any other colour than white for the shirt wouldn’t do. If his shoes are of the same colour as the belt (and his tan) it is perfect! Only the tie knot I do not like: too big, no dimple.

My regular visits to The Sartorialist site are always a great way of relaxation and inspiration for me! Thanks from a German fan!!

It’s a great look but then he starts with the considerable advantage that he looks like a male model. It always helps! I have no problem with the brown tie and brown jacket, it’s a monochromatic effect that was popular with Cary Grant although he usually went the grey route. Oddly enough I recently purchased a rather similar jacket in Brown linen/silk blend from good old BB’s but with a peaked lapel so I’m going to experiment with some brown ties. I’ll have to work on the sun tan!!

It’s funny that a few of us thought of chocolate, the color looks yummy. Brown can be a very boring and plain color, but it can also be rich and elegant, and he definitely knows how to wear it..

absolutely wonderful. love the checked brown suit and the tie is amazing, and i have to say, his facial expression is great, trying to hold in that smile.

i love the chocolate suit. even more delicious than the real thing! he does look like a lot of fun

Tie knot is too big, should be a four-in-hand or a Prince Albert.

Otherwise very good.

love the outfit, love the reference even more

That is a lovely chocolate brown combination.

Oh yes, the brown check dress is really cool.
