The Sartorialist

I really like no. 2. Love the colours, plus it’s hard coupling stripes with camouflage and pulling it off.

Wow – what a transformation!!

So sharp and well-tailored. The sunglasses are minimal and on-point. But the pairing of the striped orange shirt with the camo cargo pants is something I haven’t seen. And that fan is very fun! If I had to pick, I like #1 the most.

The italian people!

-from Turin with Love-

Love them both – such a strong vibe coming from each photo.

Sea and Swank

i like the suit better! there is a huge difference in outfits! =)

Is it the same person? They look a bit like each other, but on the other hand, not. Love the first picture! Looking away, with his sunglasses & the suite. And on the second picture, with the little detail.

How much I like Italian sense of style! Both looks are gorgeous ))

I like the light earth tone suits with white shirts. Totally in line with my taste.

The dude can rock casual chic! Top picture has a Clooney in Lake Como vibe: bottom has that boho Peter Beard in Africa look. Either way, these are cool summer looks….gentlemen, take note!

I love that suit!!!

What a difference! Amazing!

Αιώνιοι Ιταλοί!!!

The contrast is huge so a comparison is almost impossible. The first look screams elegence and the other casualty. But I do prefer a more tailored look (especially when paired with cool vintage sunglasses) because it reminds me of gentlemen.

The second photo is so effortless)) He isn’t bothered with the feminine fan)

#1: he is swoon-worthy perfection, and it seems effortless.

#2: although interesting, it looks like he’s trying tooooo hard.

otherwise: brilliant, as ever, capturing the various facets of the same individual… even if it does make me wonder if he is a mild fashion schizophrenic.

Love the simple timeless look in the the first photo.

I have to ask. Do you do much editing to these photos? If so, amazing job. If not, wow!

I’ go with number 1, but I agree, you can’t dress in Zegna every day. Cool pics, nice contrast. Cheers.

they are not the same person. you can tell by comparing their ears :)

I love the first look!!!

I like no. 1. He dresses his age. Elegant, cool. No. 2? A bowl of M & M’s.

I never wear shorts in the city. Shorts are for doing something active, not walking around with your man fan. And camo shorts have even fewer legitimate uses. I think the point is demonstrated aptly here.

the first guy in suit… oh perfect from top to bottom!

classy!

The first look is sharp, but the second is terrific–whimsical with a rugged edge. The twinkle in his eye is the sine qua non.

no1. Looks so polish!

Wow! Love the first look – very sexy! Italians.. :)

So much to earn from Italian men when it comes to style!

Italian men rock it!

Incredible is Man no:1
Man no:2 has a certain twinkle about him, would prefer plain khaki bottoms, love that shirt, he looks fun, reminds me of a mature Jacques Brel (if he was still with us).

Would be all sorts of overjoyed if hand-held fans made a real come-back. His is particularly lovely.

why don’t all silver haired men look like that?

such brilliant looks!

Great vibs,

The first picture is hot!!!!

Mr. No 1 is heavenly. That white shirt and the neutral poplin suit are perfect together. Jacket is interesting with a slightly western look about the pocket.

This is how I like my husband to dress. He has some collarless shirts left over from his days in court and still wears them in the summer like this.

Handsome .. especially the first photo!

Are those shorts?

i’ll take the guy in camo if only for the fact that he is carrying around a beautiful fan.

Love everything about the striped shirt, camo pants, and fan look. It’s brilliant.

Nº2, of course!!!!!!!

two interesting takes on summer attire. that top look has me inspired though. a henley/collarless dress shirt and khaki/taupe peak lapel? excellent.

WOW as to the first gentleman. Gorgeous!

Wow! Two very different approaches to personal style yet they look equally appealing to me – and equally masculine! Even with floral fan in hand he’s pulling it off! I am really digging the older men these days… HOT!

I would never ever wear number 2 but he looks damn good to be honest, I would certainly look at him in awe but would never try it. Number one is something I would aspire to look like. It’s a different approach to aging well.

Love the suit! Very well tailored

camo and fans – briliiant.

Hot older guy. He is very elegant. The fan is certainly an interesting touch!

I’m not sure about the second guy’s look, but at least he’s showing his personality. The suited gent looks very stylish.

Grey Fox – a search for style in middle age

ITS THE SAME GUY!!!!! He is just wearing two different outfits? Seriously. Especially the people saying how you think “one” of “them” is so much more stylish then the “other”. Good to know someone can fool most of you by changing one’s shirt.

No, these are not photographs of the same guy! Look at the length of hair: #1 short cropped all over, #2 much longer. And while it’s difficult to tell exactly from this angle, it does appear that #2′s sideburns have a reverse taper (Like…Mr. Spock?). #1′s sideburns are traditional.

The first shot is the winner for me–cool, sophisticated, confident. And the khaki suit and white shirt work very well with his gray hair, making him actually look younger. That pocket kerchief is a great detail to finish off his look.

Give me a man who ages like good wine…..

Look 1 scores a 10, handsdown! He is handsomely stunning in that suit with the fresh, clean white accents! However, Look 2 scores a meager 4, and that’s pushing it in my books! Camouflage isn’t something that can pulled off so easy, and the moment you pair it with men’s cargo shorts, you enter dangerous grounds! I can appreciate attempting to mix and match vibrant colors and patterns, but this look is not doing the mix-and-match ANY justice! The grey-orange button down is a nice piece in itself, but it’s beauty is utterly taken away by the combination with the shorts. Shall I mention the fan???

Lovely, relaxed suit, the man in the upper pic.

A man with a fan! It makes me all aflutter! (And btw, fans aren’t strictly feminine – men use them in Spain, and the Japanese have tessenjustu, the martial art of the war fan.)

I think is the same -gorgeous- man :)

Giada :*

Such a compare and contrast! Love the suave look of picture 1!

Well, there is fashion and there is style and both gents have both qualities.
But I must say Gent #2 looks like a person I’d want to know, to spend an afternoon with sipping iced tea and discussing world views.

Gent #1 looks like someone I would be a bit scared to meet in person. Sometimes you can be a bit too sharp…

Love the collar on that white shirt

Wow….no 1: where are You?….yummi…. But nr 2: love the colour, Awesome !
