This belongs on a fashion blog? Sweater too small, hat too small, "shoes" are actually sloppy slippers. Sorry, just doesn't cut it for me.
Of course, you always seem to find interesting people to photograph, but in this instance I don't find his outfit interesting or fashionable.

He looks great in it . . . maybe because of his broad shoulders. They lift the sweater so it doesn't look so "grandpa" and frumpy.

I dislike sycophants. It seems that every one wants to flatter Scott gushing over every posted photo, that is so unnecessary. There are plenty of great shots, and stylish people as well as different and interesting fashions. But give me a break, what is "amazing" about this man look? Small hat over a big afro and ill fitting shoes that look like sleepers? I check the blog daily and enjoy it very much but I had vent my gripe :(

Sweater lovers. I got mine from J Crew a month ago with zippered pockets instead of patch pockets. It's longer than his, which makes it even more-ish Grandpa. As noted above, it's still around. Love the shoes and shades. How does he keep the hat on??

Oooh…the cell phone coordinates with the glasses (and actually happens to be my cell phone). Does that make me a fashionista TOO, or do I need to wear red Ray Bans and a Grandpa sweater while I'm using my phone??? I do have an Everlast sweatshirt that used to belong to my grandpa, and it's grey…does that count??? Could Mpumi have worn that and ended up here?? Damn this fashionista thing is so complicated and existential. I guess some just get it without trying!

Ok… we all love the cardigan, but it is too short for him. That cardigan can be something more, but he devalued with all of the other hispter gear.
Sloppy house slippers = no!
Red wayfarers = hipster for sure.
What is up with that small hat that serves no purpose? I believe straw hats should be left for summer, not fall.
