The Sartorialist

Wow. Fabulous hommes! What a nice way to start the day.

ahhh, swedish men. such great style, such beauty. makes me wish i was there again…

Avid reader, first-time poster.

That first subject is, in my humble opinion, the finest specimen man these eyes have ever seen. I usually find the combination of black and brown to be boring and drab, but with his cheekbones, complexion, and the lustrous colour of his hair, he makes it work.

Keep up the wonderful photography! You give me something to look forward to each day.

The young man in the white shirt has commanding presence and more than a passing resemblance to the late Ingmar Bergman.
I wish more young people would jettison the dark palette in summer.

swedish men look so much healthier than NYC men… once you get out of the city you realize that we all have a grey- greenish pallor.
scandinavian men are so …… wow.

the plaid shorts (top) are my fave shorts for a guy–ever– they really look good and the fit him.

Hmm, they look too richie-rich perfect for my taste. I prefer a little muss and fuss. (Not to mention a bit of a smile in the eyes!)

clean.

sartorial?

Yep, in Sweden we have well-dressed men!

The backgroud of the setting makes the clothes pop!

When you’re tall and handsome it’s hard not to look good, isn’t it?

One word: swoon

That vest shape + shirt sleeve length in the second picture isn’t very flattering.

Does anyone know if I can “mod” my beat-up chucks like the man in the first picture for that no-shoelaces look? How is that done? Is the tongue just sewn to the shoe, or do you have to buy them that way?

The first guy looks delicious! I love the sunnies and his very modelesque stance.

WHY hasn’t anyone pointed out # 2′s rad watch it perfectly suits his expression. The dirty keds are a sweet juxtaposition too

Ã…h, Calle! =)

mhm! their looks are totally ok but they look like thousands of young men here in stockholm. what is missing is a positive attitude coming trough the picture or a glimmer in the eyes…just two pretty and well dressed guys. well, not so special, isn’t it?

I see absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with guy # 1, it’s basically the way every guy here in Sweden dresses. And I hate the hair.

Those plimsolls may be yesterday’s news in Europe, but I sure hope they make their way over here to the US (our fashion always seems to be 1 year behind Europe, and here in Seattle, we’re 2 years behind everyone else! I’m just sick and tired of guys wearing clunky thick soled cross trainers, chunky skate shoes, and ‘moon boot’ basketball sneakers. Those plimsolls are light simple and sophisticated. The only problem is that they look like womens’s Keds, and the average American man is way too sexually insecure to wear anything that he feels may be construed as remotely ‘feminine’. And the market for the few American men with any sense of style may be too small the be profitable
