The Sartorialist

Love the contrast of his beautiful red hair and fair skin with the black and grey layers layers layers.

love the massive scarf. Could keep three people warm!

The first man reminds me of a more fashionable version of my father. The second guy is fantastic too…love the blue peeking out! Brings the whole outfit to life.

A little too much.

The first gentleman looks wonderful.

The second; not so much. And what is that little blue skirt?

#1 I love the colors and textures of the sweater under the sober layers of jacket and coat.
#2 great scarves, I like blue and black, but the puffy shoes distract my eye from the rest of the look.

we’ve seen the top post before, no? you called him “the coolest literature professor ever,” or something of the sort.

and he still is.

I’m just loving the colorful knit vests on the guys. Shows a bit of plafulness, which is always in style.

The man in grey and blue is so incredibly handsome. wow.

I love the huge scarf and long-ish shirt on the second fellow. And those shoes are fantastic.

# 2 has a be-yoo-ti-ful face. Which, unfortunately seems to be floating disembodied above the rest of his body.

One scarf only would make him look less top-heavy. Or two with just a sweater.

I think his feet hurt. I think his daft-looking shoes are a size too small.

Love the Fair Isle.

The older guy has done a good job of layering-the colors match in a nice way. The same can´t be said of the younger chap. He has failed from top to bottom. What´s with the bag? It just doesn´t fit with the mix.

I love this look with the 2 edits already mentioned: the sneakers and the blue “Dress”. What can be better than layers and layers of grey. This look might be too much for Joe Schmo but with the right attitude and sexy look it’s fabulous!

I love the funky fair isle in the top photo. Preppy with a wicked twist can be very appealing, especially under all those handsome tweeds.

@all:

yes, kind of cold wheather these days in Milan.

First guy is great, if a little conventional. I want to like the look of the second, but I just can’t handle the high tops with the scarves. I’m not a fan of a lot of bulk lately…it makes my neck and shoulders hurt just looking at it…I think if you threw off the winterwear, I might really dig this guy. And props for the man’s bag.

Love how the gentleman in the top image has layered the blue grey and brown garments with the multicolored sweater. Love how all the patterns work so well. The professorial herringbone jacket never looked so good.

The second image with the bold dash of cerulean blue against the stark grey and black is captivating. I want to reach out and lift up the scarf and sweater to get a better look.
The white and yellow sneakers are are a nice striking contrast againt the more somber colors. Great casual elegant look for a jaunt around town.

The first guy’s great. Not so sure about the second guy… the way he tied his shoes is a bit strange. Not very into shoes being tied at the back, esp. on a guy. And is that blue thing a skirt? Fortunately he is pretty so he can do whatever he wants…

The guy on the bottom takes me back to gradeschool, when we wore our jeans tucked into undone construction boots with the tongues hanging out. .

I love #2, from the knees up. Those shoes are so cliché for “artsy college kids,” and I am so tired of seeing them. A great pair of black leather boots would make him fabulous!

Great colors…but too much scarf and those shoes are horrible. Lose a scarf (or two) and get some decent shoes and this would be a winner for sure.

The first fellow looks excellent.

Is the second man wearing heels? Or lifts in his shoes? His funky stance and wrinkly trainers somehow give me that impression.

ok, let me first say i think he looks great. BUT! a big problem i have with this blog is if a normal (sized) person were to wear the same exact outfit (confident demeanor or not) they’d look completely ridiculous.

sart i’m gonna say it again, can’t you find some normal sized fashionable people? everyone on this blog is either super skinny or tall……………

I love this style on men, A schholmate of mine at university is known for this lovely way of layering, I always thinks he looks so smart.

First man is nicely dressed but it strikes me as overly conservative. He could have gone wild with the tie given the colors in the vest.

Second one looks like he’s right off the Stockholm-JFK flight with the white high tops. Gorg face. Always love doubled scarves, the overall mix of proportions are great on him.

Fair Isle is always in style; and an overproduced layered look makes me smile. Well laugh actually; he is just trying too hard. Sart beware that the male fashionista crowd in the village, soho and tribeca have now made a game of dressing to get their pic taken for The Sartorialist. Fashionable male men without children have lots of time on their hands and they don’t spend it in their tiny alphabet city apts. Keep the site pure, natural and uncontrived; the second shot is just a parade of gimmicks.

The second picture is fantastic but I can’t help to think how much better it would’ve been with a pair of chunkier boots instead of white sneakers. This is a bit too Kris van Assche a couple of years ago.

But still, he looks amazing.

err… my boyfriend has the exact same Shetland wool sweater as the men from the first picture! We live in Montreal and got it at Simons, a store that can be found only in Quebec… I’m so surprised!

are you kidding me. i’m in love.

Oh my god, both of these two men are so, so good.

HATE the high-tops, love the scarves

His neck definitely looks snug! hahhah but I like it! I like him! haha

Never before have I considered getting a Fair Isle sweater. This look is awesome. sadly summer approaches quickly in the south… maybe I can get one on sale for next season.

personally i think th second guy is great. i guess i’m biased. because i’ve always been wearing my jeans this way: tucked into my high cuts.

and that cerulean tunic is fantastic.

The first guy screams of “50 year old prep”. Terrible!!! The sweater- wrong.. the tie and shirt colour- wrong..
The second guy i like.. his fashion sense is interesting, playful, unashamed.

The guy on top makes knits look comforting and cozy. He looks fine in his own skin.

The second guy doesn’t give me that impression. I get a very menacing vibe from him. It could be his stance.

The second guy is trying hard. Very hard. Actually, way too hard.

He’s not wearing heels or lifts. His shoes are just too small.

His stance reminds me of that photo by Diane Arbus of the boy with all the angst showing in his hands. I think it’s called Boy with a Toy Hand-Grenade.

If the young man was not so handsome, he would not have looked good at all, a bit of a mess. The gentleman above is so much better.

What are those high top sneakers? I’m obsessed with them! Does anyone recognize the brand?

I keep on coming back to this bottom picture, I just love the whole look. Well, maybe not too keen on those shoes, but still.

Love the outfit, all the different grays and blacks and the blue, especially. But the shoes…..?? I think not.

WHO IS THE MAN IN THE SCOND PHOTO
HE IS PERFECT
I MUST FIND HIM

The bottom look is a dream
