Can't say I like the shirt though.

:)

A other older man with great style !! you still young

Totally agree. Actually, these are the kind of khakis I would want to wear as a girl, too.

any leads on good italian brands with a good cut?

I would like to have a pair of pants like thses. They're so perfec in their simplicity. And khakis is a very chic color, classic and casua.

J'adore!

These are actually british khakis by Folk. completely agree with the style though!

So true! American Khakis are only for the incredibly slim, even for women.

His lack of socks, and rolled trousers make me think of 1930s/40s swing dancing. love it!

perfect fit, i have some similar

Ha Ha Nice!!!

Love these soft summerish colours. Seems so comfortable!

ive always wondered how people pull of dress shoes sans socks without sweating and being uncomfortable…ill have to look into that.
such a great look

Brunello Cucinelli does fantastic Khakis.

The fit of them is so perfect; they're perfectly tight and the length and overall fit are just right. I want to see men wear pieces that fit THIS well daily.

You are making me wish I was back in Florence SO BADLY! I need to get back there soon!

Italian men… they know!!!

Yes, a pretty good cut but just a bit too below the bottom saggy for me. Love the rest of his look but the photo itself is spoilt by all those jogger with trouser/jeans wearers in the background.

come on, they look very bad. the proportions are wrong. the rolled pants and heavy shoes are derivative.
people like cuccinelli, incotex and many other euro brands make pants that fit very
snugly and can be hemmed or rolled to any length. this look is so early 2000's– clean it up

Maybe because American men are 10 pounds or more fatter in general.

Good point-

The lighter density completes the chill yet put together vibe of the look.

Imagine him with American khaki's…

He'd look awkwardly business casual.

i like that there's some excess fabric on the butt. see so many excessively tight butt huggers lately. comfort will always be king.

Absolutely nothing stylish or sexy about this dude's duds. For God's sake, get him to a good barber; his hair, beard and moustache are an uncoordinated mess. The watch band is obviously too large for his wrist. The khakis sit way too low on his waist giving him a slouchy flabby ass. The rear pocket is too deep. The shoes without socks will reek of ghastly foot odor very quickly. Ugh!

Very cool! I see what you mean about the difference in American khakis…maybe a designer will read this & take a hint!

This summer favorite colors! Looks, that they really are the best :)

I like his whole outfit, actually.

Oowee, he's awesome, but look at the three other pairs within two meters!

Italian khakis(AND ITALIAN MEN) are the best!:)
Thank for sharing these beautiful photos!

Yesterday we met at Pitti in Florence and we talked a little then we shot all the photos …
garance you and you're really number one

I noticed that many men now wear trousers rolled. New trend?!

I bought some khakis with a similar cut at the Gap, "The Cadet". High rise, deep pockets, button fly. they were on sale for $14.99. they are the most excellent khakis!

he is not an old man people
1 he is a hot daddy! lol

great snap, the mood is definitely there

The two-tone shirt looks interesting. Makes the whole look edgier. Reminds me of an older Beckham without the arm tattoo.

UNIS at NYC in the Nolita neighborhood has created a pair of slimmer, modern rendition of a pair of khakis

This guy's got it.
No question.

I love his look, and agree that some/most American khakis can make men look either dumpy, or flat in the rear, depending on their anatomy…there's a brand called Bonobos that I saw featured on Eyewitness news awhile ago, that are cut more fitted in the seat. I bought a pair for my husband, and they look great & he loves them!
As always, your site is lovely and inspirational, a minnie vacation each day! Keep up the fabulous work!

I actually bought a pair of Dockers Slim Fit (in Sweden though), cut pretty much like those in the picture above. A lovely pair of trousers!

Maybe they are only for the european market?

These khakis are great. However I have to disagree that they are the best, you can easily find "American" khakis that fit like this. Just look for ones called 5 pocket khakis and they will fit like jeans. Banana Republic has them as well and my favorite Levis 511.

I think i'm going to look like him in about 25 years. Or at least i hope so! The little beard, the hair very nice.

old? how young are you folks. this guy is probably 40. equating gray with old is just, well, sad.

all that withstanding, he needs to get rid of the wallet and pull the pants.

I know him!! He works for a super brand named Preventi! http://www.preventishoes.com. Second coincidence in 2 days! The first one was to see Garance and you life at the Pitti yesterday… ;)

This picture is one of my favorite pics in a long time. I like them all, but this guy gets it ALL right. my favorite look hes casual yet chic. from the dark brown shoes, to the slightly rolled khakis, rumpled perfect-shade-of- blue button up with a little peek of white T underneath, and the BEST part of all his long greying hair pulled back into a pony tail. PERFECTION.

For this style of pants – look for Swedish brands Acne or Whyred (Acne more easy to find). They are slim and comes in many colours.

Dockers Slim Fit…absolutely perfect. Hard to find in the US, but stocked in the likes of Oipolloi, End Hunting, etc.

To be honest, the way this gentleman is wearing his pants does not look good. It looks like "pants on the ground" to me. The slim, modern fit is right on, though. Americans can make the chino just as well. Check out Unis or Save Khaki brands based in New York. The model in the blog below is wearing the khaki well-tailored.

I grow old…I grow old…
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

omg u r right…about the pants! he is lovely…i am asuming a candid shot?? i would give him a spontaneous kiss!!!

You cannot compare anything from the US to the Italian style. Italian fashion is the best in the world. You will never encounter the class and elegance anywhere in the world the same way that you see on the Italian streets.

A bit strong, I know, but I firmly believe it.

i really hope hair isn't pulled into a mini ponytail, and those pants – which do fit well – are too short.

He's a perfect example of how touches of personal style and attitude–the stance, the hair, the expression on his face, the sleeves, the heavy shoe-bare ankle combo–can make an otherwise ordinary outfit sing.

And those eyes… oh my.

Incidentally, the "word verification" letters for this post are "hotmen." No joke! That has to be the funniest computer-generated coincidence I've seen yet. :)

check out the dockers ankle chino at urban outfitters. only $50 and the fit is superb, just like this. i know i got myself a couple…

It's the hair.

I first saw this mans picture in garance dore's blog, and all i can think of is "EYE candy! sooo HOT!, Sexy, manly.. delicious" and i recognized him again here ! its the very same side look !
grey hair suits him and the beard.. not so sure of hair but it still looks like a lions mane :)
i like how he neatly rolled up is pants .. something i admire about european style in men is that it looks so effortless .. but soo chic !
wish i was at pitti huomo !

the pants – yes. with those shoes + no socks? no.

First off, this man is tall and well-proportioned, and has an interesting, incredibly attractive face. With that foundation, everything about him works even though it sounds like a nightmare — cropped rolled-up pants, no socks, gray ponytail, shiny oxfords. Also, this outfit would look trite on a 20-something hipster. But on a man who looks like he has a little life behind him, some substance, and a world of je ne sais quois in his eyes, the items look grounded, classic, and classy even as they're tweaked and modernized. He is breathtaking and inspiring, and makes almost every other man I've ever seen seem contrived and overdone.

awesome trouser (and his has got 2 others frineds with the same in the background … ;-) )
