The Sartorialist

oh! hello, there. don't you look nice…

yumm

Love this. A painter with style. The shoes are great.

My husband like to wear pants like that… good to know they can come off as "cool".

simply cool style…

That lamppost is sweet.

I believe that this guy is a barber at FSC Barber, which is on Horatio. I get my hair cut there all the time….

painterly chic (and not to forget to mention the fact that he looks a little like Mr. Hugh Laurie, Dr. House himself, no?)

don't/can't paint………….go to old navy………

all the painted khakis for both sexes are on clearance

hi sart!! ur pictures r always captivating n inspiring.. why dnt u cme ti India smetime.. it will b grt fun to see the fashion hre on ur blog….

I would marry this guy in an instant. He seems so extreamly masculine, preppy, cool. What more can a girl ask for?

a real painter?!

Totally hot!

wow! great colours!

The pose hightlights the outfit

thats nice

OMG. so hot!
he's the sexy artist of my dreams <3

fashion atelier.

I do like this shot. Rolled up pant here, look good!:)

in my language, we simply call this as "sempoi"

it means 'a little untidy yet effortlessly cool'

and he is definitely sempoi ;)

so hot!

i love his outfit… he didn't even try and yet such a great look

He can wear boat shoes and still look badass. That's sexy.

I do like his pants! That effect must be achieved by painting your skirting boards and cornisings otherwise it always looks deliberate!

It might be time to get the paint out! Duck egg blue??

Yours Truly

WE SPY WITH MY LITTLE i

A little bit dirty…but wow!!!
So cool! I love it!

One of the best outfit ever…Great

totally agree. effortless win

i write a blog on how when the sun comes out so do the boat shoes and then voila', the Sartorialist takes a picture of a guy wearing boat shoes!! This classic look never goes out of style!!

Love the colours of the wall, the bin and his outfit!
And man this guy is HOT and SEXY!!!

Is that sebago? Nice work fella!

My sister used to paint quite a bit and I loved the way she looked in her mucked up clothes. I used to borrow her painty shirts because I loved the look, however I don't like it when you can buy it in a store. It's kinda dumb, actually. I'm thinking this guy is the real deal. Looks like he grabbed for a shirt that wasn't his as he was running out the door after an all night shag. What I love best about this is that it inspires me to construct a narrative and it's a good photo that does that.

I love this because it hints at the the coming Summer. Michael Ignatieff once wrote a piece in defence of Russian women, based on the idea that a woman revealing herself slowly through all the layers she sheds as she enters a room from the biting Moscow cold, is more alluring & subtle & sexy than a woman tottering down the street in a bikini in L.A. I think there's sexiness in both… but after what seems like a loooong winter, the idea of dawdling on a street corner in a simple shirt & rolled up trousers, seems so free & easy after loading layers on like a pack-horse to protect against the cold. By November I'll long for layers again, but for now this seems like bliss.

Very nice: the whole picture (not only the outfit, but the atmosphere too, the pose, the colours) are highly inspiring! It definitely makes me want to leave the dullness that is London!

Definate J.Crew moment.

Did I say I love J.Crew?

They get it………

Dont think hes a painter, I think their last seasons H&M.

love the shirt.

Oh, I like his arms. I've always had a thing for mens arms.

J.Crew's dream come true

I think it's interesting that people are saying this guy is gorgeous, hot, to die for etc. because you can't really make out his face. It's all in the nonchalant poise, the tanned skin, the stubble, the wiry forearm, the skimpy, undone shirt…er, where was I? Oh yes, he's hot.

I'm not a fan of boating moccasins but if I was driving down the street and saw him I'd probably crash into that very lamppost.

How cool is that! He could have any face, it's in the attitude. My painter isn't like him….

Awesome outfit. Can anyone identify where the green leather boat shoes come from?

Really good look on this guy. I always envied the people who can get away with paint stained pants -or that sort of stuff- and look as effortlessly cool as this fellow.
Also, if I might ad, a refreshing return to street fashion on this (great) blog. Cheers.

he reminds me of you so much. he really does look like you!

This is an awesome picture. I dont know if the pose is organic or not but he pulled it off well.

boat shoes, always a good choice

born to be cool!!

I like the look *but its becoming a bit trite when J Crew and D&G pre-paint the pants and T's to reflect the casual "look at me i don't care that paint is on my clothes" hipness. I don't know. Did he just go out and buy everything like this … Urban Outfitters, J Crew etc. ps- I'm bettn the pants were bought like this. Meh….

He is hot and sexy in a nonchalant way! x

sockless yumi

I'm really digging the way he folds his cuff.

Being somewhat of an artist myself, I hate paint stains on my clothing, but for some odd reason they look better on khaki.

Good picture:the street lamp(peelt of),the man(with painture)and the shadow.

really great as the most stroger style for men
working /artist class
bravo!!

RebeccaH took the words right out of my mouth!

His clothes say painter, but his body says dancer.

boat shoes are for boats or walking on the boardwalk just like rainboots are for the countryside

i love artists in their forms.. with paint all over etc…

totally falling for him!!

http://donotshoeme.blogspot.com/

layin' 10:1 those are fake paint stains. "yeah, i'm an artist"

He really, really reminds me of Alexander McQueen…

i work at workshop, i dont wash all the paint or any substance on my pants. it just look great and make it vintage and rare piece of cloth. especially jeans.

Spring time sexyness!!

the paint on his pants is a turn on. Hot painter. Oh DAMN.

I like the fitted shirt and loose pants. Let's hope that's real paint splatter and that he didn't just buy them that way from J.Crew. His cool artist-on-a-break vibe is ruined by the fact that he's texting.
