Super! Love the slightly cropped pants, the sneakers with no socks, the stripes, the DB jacket (with brass buttons, no less!), worn casually. At a first glance a simple look, taken to the next level by these simple details! Genius!
Love how the double-breasted jacket is worn here and how it unifies what would otherwise be an unremarkable casual look. I watched "Purple Noon" last night and this look is straight out of the film.
I like to do this but my feet always end up smelling. Is that a cigarette it looks like one of those fake one's that help you to quit? maybe its a pen come to think of it!
i think the jacket and pants work well together in terms of length–the jacket looks intentionally short to me–he's tilted forward and the front left quarter is still just reaching the traditional length for a blazer… were the jacket any shorter it would probably result in splitting of vents over his rear end
Love this picture… a bit of a picasso touch here… I personally love to watch people around me, on the street, the way they dress, the way they move, so I really enjoy your blog. You don't just take pictures of people on the street, you capture their ways, their persona and their inner self too, in your pictures (I hope I am kind of clear here, English is not my mother tongue).
He looks so good! Love the nautical stripes and the navy blazer. The length of the pant is perfect, too..and I really like that he's wearing the chucks with no socks..although it could yield smelly feet.
I don't know why, but he's all Henry Miller to me. Maybe it's because I'm in my Anais Nin phase. He's irresistible, that's for sure. I just imagine that cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth is a ballpoint. He's cool like that.
I normally think that a t-shirt with a jacket ALWAYS looks awful. But I think this works, because the neck of the t-shirt is so high. I believe the rule should be that the collar of the jacket should not touch the skin –that is, the shirt should always be between the jacket and skin. But certainly I'm no expert!
i love the shadow of suede that his hair is. it's so very strong when a man who has a receding hairline cuts all of his hair short rather than the cover-up. I am certain that it may be a difficult thing to see your hair leaving. as a woman it is exciting to see a man embrace the situation and run with it. i think because the choice to suede one's hair eliminates the internal conversation some might have about "does he know he's losing his hair or does he realize we can see past the comb-over?"
what a simple, yet amazing composition. Everything flows, and looks totaly stylish without trying hard in the least. Love the brass buttons. But what's that white thing in his mouth?
even though I just wore something similar yesterday, I'm beginning to really get bored of just a plain striped t-shirt and a blazer , i was a tad hesitant to wear it , so i teamed it up with a cool belt. but i've been seeing it too much lately , you must have 6 people wearing that here.
Those tan cotton pants are fantastic, the colour makes blues pop and they aren't the dreaded chinos. I'd love to find some for my husband – anyone advise?
Most men I see around here aren't dressed to look good anymore. Merely walking statements! Anyone can make a statement but that doesn't necessarily make one look good. Xavier
Wowza, Florence is doin’ it right!! Stripes are deff a style that is timeless, and knows no boarders! Thick or thin, we can’t get enough of stripes!! Be it in a top or pant, we dont CARE! we’re just stripe obsessed.

…double breasted blazers are brilliant, easily messed up but when done properly they're killer.
for that reason they're a brave purchase, but one worth making to force your hand.
