No one dresses so dignified as this gentleman in these neighborhoods anymore. The style is gone and assumed to be more custom of upper classes. So not true!
Happy Easter to this gentleman, indeed!

@Vanessa @ ProjectZen, I'm so offended by your comment.
You clearly don't spend time in "these" neighborhoods. If you did, you'd know how unusual this style of dress is.
If you do spend time in "these" neighborhoods and still make a comment like this, then you must be walking through quickly with your eyes closed.

Do you know what makes this outfit? The sleeve length. Somehow, if they were shorter and revealed cuffs and links, it would seem contrived or too design-y. This way it seems more natural and accessible. Also, the shined shoes and pressed pant are marks of someone who takes care of what they have. Happy Easter!

exquisite tonal and textural qualities Scott. Glorious get.

AHH! This shot is amazinggggggg! I love that his black matches throughout, so it doesn't matter that he has different texture with his suit, socks, bowler, and shoes. I also like that the lighting gives his white tie/shirt/kerchief a pinkish tint. The only thing I don't dig is the glasses/rings. I don't know why, but they seem to detract from the rest for me.
Also he looks weirdly like a thinner version of an English teacher at my school…

Dignity, style and character are not limited to class and or neighborhoods. Maybe take a stroll in one of "these neighborhoods" and open your eyes, but more importantly your mind….

he's chillin' and he knows that his look is put together. to him, the only people surprised by this are those who don't know. he also looks to have come of age when people took better poses in photographs.
while a dress shoe vs a loafer could have been nice he looks sharp and he looks like he's having a nice day looking nice.
