The Sartorialist

Well, the French still got it….
But what is this craze about high super-wide belts lately… To be honest, I am not the biggest fan. But to be fair, in the case of this women it complements really nice.

Beautiful photo, Scott. You really captured it here.

I love the dress, the belt, and the boots–especially the boots. Very nice. Her choice of dress pattern and colour is lovely, if occasionally a little offbeat. This young lady always looks so elegant and sophisticated, that my frozen heart starts to thaw a bit whenever I see her on your blog.

Sart, I have to say, you are becoming the Martin Parr of the fashion world. And that’s a good thing!

tnx, sart! that pic made my day. she definitely knows how to look classy. and definitely ‘sexy’ is not about to show; its about to hide.

Not crazy about the print or belt up close, but from a bit of a distance it all comes into effect! Very neat.

I’m a fan. She always looks great.

This is great inspiration for women who work in conservative envirtonments and have to wear suits and suit-type clothes to work. I like the length and fit of the skirt and the use of a belt. I also like how the neckline would work in an office like mine. I am so happy to see this picture. I really am inspired by it.

I like the dress. The artsy trend is still going strong in the upcoming season.

Dear Sartorialist,

My dearest wish for this year to come is to see you marry the wonderfully gorgeously pretty miss Battaglia in order to be able to take a dangerously insane number of pictures of her closets and of he genuine choices of dress!

Have a good year and you know what’s left to be done for you, Sarto.

Bonne fashion weeks in Europe and USA!

Now this is something I like. She is very chic. And has paid a lot of attention to her outfit. Yet the look is effortless. Wonderful match of colors. I don´t know if she is wearing one dress on top of another or is top one a coat.Whatever. It looks fine.

Wow, this is beautiful. I love the deep range of blues and the just quirky enough pattern on the dress to offset the dark tones of her coat and boots. One of the best shots, IMHO, you’ve done in a while. Really gorgeous :D

Once again this woman has done it. She looks fabulous. Sigh. Elegant and nonchalant simultaneously.
Beautiful photograph as well – love the perspective and the blurry man.

Where is the dress from? I love the vivid print…Marni maybe? I think the belt gives it a sophisticated shape. Altogether is works beautifully.

Realy love that Marni dress.

Better with platform sandals and 3/4 black coat and saint laurent muse grey bag.

Love her dark hair!!!
What a face! And yeah I still have a girl chrush on la Bataglia!
Keep her images coming Scott.

She’s absolutely leggy! Such style!

Perfect. This woman always looks insanely elegant. There is a certain intelligence to way she dresses…wish i could explain that.

i would be grateful if someone identified the pieces: jacket, dress, and boots.

The boots make the everything work here (that and oh yeah, she is gorgeous)…

No other shoe could make that outfit so fabulous…

I love everything about her look; the belt and boots are great, but her style is more than the sum of its parts!

The background is also carefully chosen, the grids on the windows and the dots on the street echo the patterns of the outfit.

Her boots are killer.

lower the belt you look deformed

There’s something about those boots that says medieval knight. Perhaps the lines on her feet?

Ah, this woman inspires me every time! Please don’t stop!

Battaglia loves high skirts and big belts and I think that is a strategy that works well with her size and shape. I think her choices tend to help her by highlighting her long legs, attractive hips, a big smallish in the shoulders and with a beautiful face.

that wide belt looks very cheap in comparison to the other garments she has chosen to wear. i think there is just too much shine/texture/print in this outfit and the black tights are not exactly working with those boots seeing that they are a slightly different hue of black. that dress is fabulous but perhaps it would look more flattering with a skinny belt in a white or off white worn with heels and bare legs in the spring.

Looks gorgeous ! I’m a fan

To me this is the coolest girl on this site.

Neat. Chic. She’s got it all locked up. Really sharp.
