Sweet Levis look . It appears to be an old Levis shirt with the new 201 buckle-back 201 re-issues (?). Plus, the socks, hat and wing-tips are the icing on the cake.
I like this! I like how everything is rather conventional except for the socks, but even those really go with the rest of the outfit. The blue background brings it all together. I have to use my Church's in more exciting ways, like this one. Jorge from WPB
Nice socks. But still what is the deal with rolling up the trousers? Some time ago it was allowed only for absentminded nuclear physics professors. I can't convince my husband to do it in case trousers are too long. Volga
Beautiful shoes. I think the rolled cuffs to shoe off the socks- which could have been a subtle eccentricity-is childish, and a bit clownish. Combined with the funky hat and hair, it appears costume-like and contrived. However, he looks comfortable, neat, clean and should be praised for his shined-up brogans!
Man, this guy is fly! Digging the quirky socks, uneven pant roll, Allen Edmonds on the feet. I'll have to keep an eye out for a Levi shirt before it gets much cooler here in Boston.
LOVE the whole look from the tips of his polished shoes to the bag he's carrying. Colours are great. I have a thing about blue shirts and tan trousers on men :) http://www.couturecoco.wordpress.com
such balance all around. and it feels like upper and lower portions of the body both telling a story.. and cozy for the cool breeze today and tonight ; )

As I always say, the accessories make the outfit – a basic denim shirt and brown pants are nice enough, but with those great socks, wingtips, hat and bag, it elevates the look to something superb.
I love the colour of his satchel, it's a gorgeous blue. The socks aren't my favourite, to be honest, but I love all the different pastel colours in his hat.
First thing I notice (besides his very chill demeanor) is the red tab on his shirt, Levi's is one one of my favorite brands and I've been looking for a dark denim version of his.
Scott, your portraiture is simply amazing. Every morning as I sip my tea I gaze at these characters and slip away to a cool place, outside of my dreary cubicle, for at least a short few moments. Thanks for your blog!
See? Now this fellow has real style. It doesn't look as studied as the woman below. (Her heavy woolen hat seems too early in the season.) There is nothing contrived about his look, it all is very natural and that's why it works for him and probably not as well on anyone else.
We were talking about fashion vs. style in the previous picture, and here I think is true style. I could see this time after time, and it wouldn't wear on me. He is stylish.
i like where he's heading with the look but not totally convinced. HOWEVER! He's wearing what appear to be Florsheim brogues – which my grandfather used to wear (but no longer does because he now prefers a softer shoe). He is my male style archetype.
So, points for the shoes and the sock combination mais c'est tout.
I like the various individual elements; especially the shoes. However, there is an off air of mistmatch. The clothes, which exude a kind of cheerful academic or philosophical (as opposed to arragonat academic) bent, and again the shoes especially, don't correspond to the dreadlocks and the expression on the gentleman's face. The hat is quite out of place with the rest.
Prepstafarian! Hah, sorry I couldn't resist that. Seriously though I love the rather bold juxtaposition of the bright striped socks and more traditional trousers/shoes.
Dig the socks…I really like the shoes though…I have a lighter pair of wingtips, not as beautiful as his. You have to be proud of such a beautiful pair of shoes…
Those sock are so Australian, check out the Aussie rules and you'll see they come in all sorts of colours! My team Hawthorn are brown and gold. Go Hawks.
