The Sartorialist

YES! the style guy showing us guys how to rock an orange blazer with confidence. god, he has to have the most enviable closet.

Fantastic combination! I love colours…they turn me on so badly that I go smiling all day long…beautiful shot, very natural!

Oh. I fear I am going to be the lone dissenter here. IMHO, this is a case of the clothes wearing the person. The orange jacket looks impeccably tailored, but to me this is a case of too much at once. I wonder how he packs to travel. Jorge from W Palm Beach

agree with last poster, to much of a good thing. less is more

elementary watson

please, no. fit? where. colors? not very refined. patterns? ugh. it just looks sloppy.

Looks like a early 90′s children’s television presenter. Is he on his mobile to find his lost Teddy Bear?

Each item could work on its own but looks totally ridiculous all together. I suggest turning the lights on when one is getting changed in the morning

I like the pow effect of sport coat and sweater, but I think one pow would have been enough. I think J. Crew is doing a version of Mr. O’Brien’s raincoat for S 09. Can’t wait. PS I have no connection with J Crew.

Glenn is God.

love the layered look !
Looks good on him, little Mr Sunshine…

I sure love Glenn’s tartan overcoat. but i’m unsure about the combo of yellow and that bright orange. Maybe it would look easier to the eye, if the jacket had a pattern with only a little bit of orange?

To Jorge – I don’t find the jacket to be impeccably tailored. He can hardly do it up.

I’m glad he’s having fun, but this is another example of giving him the benefit of the doubt because he’s in the fashion industry.

If this guy sold you shoes in some middle-american town you’d write him off as a nut who lives with his mother.

After looking over the images and taking in all the colors, what really stood out to me was his gold wedding band.

Platinum, palladium and other white metals have been the go-to material for men’s wedding bands during recent years, and it’s just so … classic … to see a classic gold band. Being in my mid-20s, it’s a refreshing look.

Glenn O’Brien is one of the few real style icons in the world. If I could download the fashion sense of anyone – he is the guy. Just take a look at his resume if you don’t agree. And if you don’t get his style then look again.

i dont really like his glasses.
i think he should look for more stylish one)

“Only you Mr O’Brien!”

….good

Glenn O’Brien is simply being Glenn O’Brien. That is the essence of style. I personally wouldn’t want to stand out that much… too uptight.. but that is my style. I appreciate the uniqueness of his take. It’s like Coltrane riffing in between the scales and out of the box ! Go Glenn Go !

You have to respect a man who practices what he preaches.

Gawd, that reminds me of my dad! He always wears bright orange (and other neons), mainly so he doesn’t get run over while he’s ridding his bike.

Digressing, I love a good dose of bright colours. :)

I like the girl on the left. She and the girl on the right are both wearing converse.

I first noticed the girl walking behind. She is wearing a simple outfit that looks like it came right out of my wardrobe!
