Hey for some reason he get’s away with this look…
I think I am starting to like color more and I might even put on a color I might not have been brave enough to try….
It seems to me that we spend a lot of time trying to keep our HEARTS safe from heart break and we dress to match that sentiment… I say take a chance with our hearts and our fashion…. It may just put a smile on our face everyday…

Carla Sozzani stated today in an interview that fashionistas’ time is over and it’s time to bring back the real classic elegance. According to her men should not go around carrying a turquoise Birkin, printed pants or excessive accessories just to try to be photographed by fashion bloggers. That time is way due…
Even if I’m not a big fan of Ms Sozzani by booking at this picture I could not agree more with her. Those pants are just ridiculous, ill-fitting and the print is very feminine.
Time to go back to real classy men!

To me, Devine! But seems lots of the comments so far don’t approve. If a fully grown man wants to conduct his Autumn day in some happy colours cherry blossom pants – so be it. I think we can borrow a line delivered by Julia Roberts (in the movie, Erin Brockovich) “… as long as I have one ass and not two I’ll wear whatever I like …”

I admit, the first time I read the headline, I thought it said something quite different. And I realized it was due to the shock or the colorful trousers. Does anyone remember the preppy duck pants? Is this look on the rebound? I am happy to see this gent is free from any preconceived notions related to man-style. Cheers to him!
Mika
September 25, 2011 at 4:25 pm
I like the pattern of the pants, although to me they look like pajamas – yet their color combines well with navy blue and white.
Solution: I would replace his white shirt with one with the pants’ pattern and use navy blue pants (although the shirt would look somewhat “Hawaii”).. Now the dark cardigan and very lightly colored pants make the lower body look too “large” and the torso very small. My 2 cents :)

I love to see marimekko print used like this! they have dozens awesome prints, but I think still very rare to see them used with this much courage. Many people used them only for decorating their houses, curtains and stuff.
And as namesake says high up, maybe next time you visit Stockholm, check out Helsinki.. ;)
