The Sartorialist

great colors, love the sunglasses too. those pants are amazing! the same goes for the shirt. anybody knows where he got it from?

i'm gonna be like this guy when i grow up.

the details from head to toe are amazing, the colours work well too, i love the hint of his amazing big eyes under those shades!

Yeuch cigarette. Everything else is great!!

something so sexy in the confidence he wears (sans cigg)

This is the perfect length for sleeves!

I LOVE that shade of blue on him. :D

i like the waist on the trousers…and of course the color of the shirt and its cut..nicely highlighted by the white of the buttons.
the cigarette? Mr.Schuman , why why why?

Uh, his very nice! Confident, strong and with that cigatette that gives him a bed boy touch!

Good-looking man, relaxed elegance – and in top shape, too.Not many men this age are so fit.

Muy caliente!! texture, colors and shape… Heating up the streets of Paris.

Cool look! Amazing how a flat-weave can change the look of a polo shirt so much – love it. I also like the detail of the turned out waistband, although it doesn't help the 'hang' of the trousers. Great shades too.

I would marry him today! Awesome is just the middlename.

macho macho man!!
;)

It doesn't get much better than this.

Cool guy. Is is so warm in Paris right now or just everyone is cold-resistant?

Very nice. I like the cigarette as well. I'm not proud to say it, but it makes him look hot.

Love the effort, he's put into his outfit – I would never have thought that folding over your waistband could be so chic! It's all in the details!

He wears a very nice dark-blue shirts and a sunglasses.!!! i love this pic!!

uauuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!
super-super sexy el Sr. Cortina. Su gesto, el pelo, las gafas, la barba….
FANTASTICO.

the rolled up sleeves, the open neck shirt, the arms, the casual stance….tres sexy!

the frame look well with his face's shape. love the simplicity. navy blue always work

oh, I LOVE the blue of the shirt! perfect. he's so effortlessly debonair, it's enviable.

He is amazing! But, did he fold over his pants?

Amazing sunglasses! And the cigar complete the look!

Oh Sart, after some inspirational "real people caught on the streets" shots in Australia, you're back to months-old shots of fashion folk. It's snowing in Paris (and New York) right now, please show us some stylish inspiration when most of us are "folks dressed up like Eskimos!"

Happy Holidays!

I love the this combination: blue and brown! The shirt is really beautifull!

isn't he cold?

I want his "swagger."

Stylish and sexy man!

sexy as hell…except for the fit on the pant waistband and the gawdawfull ciggie-butt. other than that…matinee idol sexy!

It looks like he folded over the waistband of his pants. One can tell by looking at his left side (right side of photo).

The look is very put together with the exception of the cancerstick. Moreover, it is a look that can be duplicated at comparatively little expense with knock-offs from any number of outlets.

Ooh la la…. my word… what energy, what a gorgeous man.

He looks nice.

Now, I know it's snowing in Paris so I guess this one's from the archives.

Loving the fold over, loving that shade of blue and that sleeve length…want to bite a chunk outta those fore-arms…..yum
Top look

sexy, rrr!

Excellent gentleman. Did he train at the House of Lauren?

What a sexy guy!

What a great shot of a cool look.
Five years since I,ve touched a cigarette, and I still smoke in my dreams on occasion. I'll dream about it tonight, oh dear. I hate to admit a cigarette can set of a look. When is the Sartorialist going to visit sunny Scotland. You definitely will not being having breakfast al fresco here in December. Happy Holidays.

The cigarette bashing appears to be a case of herd dishonesty.

I wonder if they watch Cary Grant or Paul Newman movies and say "Yeuch! He's smoking!"

This shade of colour is perfect..I believe that blue is the new black! Try it!!

Just perfect!

I think there should be a page devoted to just Mr. Cortina…

He's pure timeless, relaxed elegance and refinement: He could easily be transplanted to the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and never look out of place. I'm sure that there are people that would find that boring because they need the latest look, but with Mr. Cortina, I'm impressed by the person, the man– not the fashion.

–PLO

Like the shirt and glasses, but not the pants.

I love the colors. Beautiful green and blue…it's hard to match !

http://www.high-toned.fr/

I'm temporarily distracted from the clothes by thinking: why do I never see anyone like this walking down my local high street?

He´s sooo sexy, you´ve capted his essence

xoxox

Come on, does everyone really feel that way about the cigarette or are you all just being politically correct?!

The colour of the shirt is exciting, the trousers look like they feel divine, his body is beautifully proportioned and the cigarete is ohh soo sexy.

I have a shirt like that!

oooh, how i love this man.
that shade of indigo is crazy, so rich.

MASCULINE.

"To everyone who thinks the cigarette is "garbage": This is Paris, everyone smokes. Plus, i think the cigarette contributes greatly to this classy look."

Cigarette smoking is both obnoxious and unhealthy. If you find it to be somehow "chic," either in Paris or Demoines, you're clearly a fashion victim. There was a time when "everyone" killed Jews. When "everyone" owned slaves. When "everyone" repressed women. Paris will be "chic" again when its arrogance is finally updated.

re: Mr. Cortina
He is always extraordinarily stylish in images posted here, but this is maybe the least impressive of what i've seen.

Why is everyone wearing sunglasses in December?

Mr Cortina is always a pleasure to see on this site. His style is sexy and masculine, without ignorance nor slavery to trends, not to mention the canvas. It is, in essence, what I try to capture in my style.
Bravo!

I love this blue shirt!!!!!!!

i love navy with khaki…great sunshades also.

oh my absolutely ground breaking how forward PLEASE enough filler give us something to look at.

George:

If you're reading this, you look terrific. It's been a hundred years, but would love to hear from you.

Happy Holidays.

Marc Watrel

Very nice. He conveys confidence.

No matter how bad it is for you. you cannot deny, a cigarette still makes you look cool.

it's the incredible hulk!

its all in the attitude. that sport coat over the shoulder is what makes this photo for me. I wonder if its the same DB that hes been shot with before.

He is a stylist and so walking confidently down a city street is in his blood. I am sure a constrution worker in his work outfit or a famer working in the field can potray the same level of confidence…. love the cow boys series from a couple of months ago..

He is one of the best. Always.

Hi sexy :D

If I ignore the cancer stick then I love this man's style. His close shaved beard with the salt and pepper look is especially what does it for me.

A polo shirt tucked into the pants? Not sure about that.

Brilliant colour combination with the olive trousers and the shirt in a perfect shade of navy blue. I also noticed the folded waistband, interesting detail.

Soo sexy!

Can someone please explain to me how the man can wear that outfit on Monday 21 December 2009 in Paris when the temperatures here have been freezing with ice and snow on the streets ?

WOW. He is candy for the eyes. Love it all and the cigarette just adds to his persona. An amazing specimen indeed.

Trying too hard.

Cool! I love politically incorrect people! A SMOKER THESE DAYS!! It's not healthy…but it's SUCH AN ATTITUDE!

The colours are so perfect. Goes to show fashion is about an eye for style, to make "plain jane" pieces work together like butter on bread.

By the way, love your photos. It's inspired me to look out more keenly for fashion on the streets.

Oh George, George. You never fail, never. I agree that his silhouette is often similar, but I think he does manouvre around his basic silhouette a little bit. Plus, his use of fabric and colour is never the same. In essence, then, this is what we should all do: take what you know looks good on you, and twist it around a few times, but sticking to the base that always works! Genius, really.

Energie

So just what is so special about this man ? He looks very ordinary to me

This is Daniel Craig as 007.

What , still shopping your closet Sart ; come on , the recession is over !

To all those people bleating about the cigarette – if Sart had deliberately cropped the image so we couldn't see the cigarette, would that not be tantamount to censorship?

People make choices about how they live their lives.

Donna

I want to be him. this is so the style I try to have on a daily basis.

He just looks so cool and BADASS! I love it!

thanks

I'm wondering about the weather. Short sleeves in December in Paris?Or this picture is not taken recently? I'm readig the blog from north of Europe and I'm always paying attention to the weather on the pictures as here it always seems to be crappier weather than somewhere else =)

the anti-cig thing is getting really boring now…just get used to it!

Uauh!!!!

Zepequeña.

Yes. Yes. Yes. All I want for Christmas…

So Cortina! 2 colors, minimal/casual/chic clothes and sunglasses. He's actually one of the best-dressed men around the fashion shows. Perfect!

I personally think it's his inner sexiness and confidence that make the look, not really the outfit. Like, if you put another man in those shirt and pants it wouldn't make the same impression at all. He, however, looks stunning.

what type of sunglasses are those ? i now know what i want for christmas

When I look at this man, I absolutely do not see a smoker, I see a man smoking… Not the other way around… Totally adds to him and his persona… Dude is classic and timeless, not to mention completely handsome!

It's an ok outfit, and he wears it well. But it would be nothing special if he was less handsome.

Oh,I think he is very cool!

Cortina proves again: smoking does, always has, and always will look cool.

Does anyone know who the eyewear is by? I like.

I would like to wish you Merry Christmas!!!

Does anyone known the name of the model of the SHADES he is wearing?

Designer/model/brand whatever, please, does anybody know the name of these shades?

Love this dude, he is always looking great.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT KIND OF SHADES HE IS WEARING????

the things you mentioned cannot be compared with smoking. smoking is something you do to yourself, and not to somebody else. therefore – if you don´t smoke, kudos to you. and if others smoke – let them mind their own business.
mr. cortina is hot as hell.
sex on legs.
whuuuuuoaw

Merry Christmas Mr Cortina!

I just got an eyeful of "Lace" in the American Apparel ad. Aaaagghh!!

He's a nice looking man for his age!

Wow, what great arms!

I abhor smoking myself but I will admit that a cigarette does add coolness to -almost- any look.

i wonder how you make the pictures bigger… :(

Living examples from daily life makes this page so natural. Will be a follower of your blog.
N in Istanbul~

theres something about him that is just so sexy. i love the color of his shirt, it pops out to me

THAT SCRUFF! :)

I linked months ago because your photographs always make me smile.

i just purchased the sartorialist book today. and i absolutely love it. thank you so much for sharing these inspirational images! thank you so so much.

x

i like this guys look and confidence – the other shots of him in your book are great too – strong!!
hope you had a FAB Christmas Scott!!

what a macho man! lol

thiss looks like every males' ideal look when they age, gracefully!

http://www.jetblackdye.blogspot.com

I am a big fan of your work.

One week and no newer posts?
Where are thou Scott?
Regards.

when will u be back ?? I miss you pics !
signé, une admiratrice Française

luv the pic + the blog

Very sexy…as matter of fact, effortlessly sexy!

Such a handsome man need not rely on flash to be stylish. He is right to keep his clothing simple and refined, and let his fine masculinity do the talking.

this same dude shows up in May 2008 under "A Closer Look"…sans beard but I'm sayin it's the same fellow..could it be?

Mr. Cortina is very stylish, he exudes an air of confidence…
Happy New Year!!

nice and earthy organic fabrics, beautiful colors, cigarette feels so out of place…

Fantastic… love that shirt? Anyone know what it's called?

Carefree but put together; harder than it looks.

I´m waiting for new photos to show up!!

Ooo Mr Sartorialist, I know that you're probably holidaying like the rest of us, but now that I have free time I'm checking the blog all the time wishing for updates!! Looking forward to the posts in the new year – yay!

-Polka Dot.

ps. what a pity Mr Cortina is smoking. But absolutely love the shirt with buttoning only to the pectoral line. Mens shirts like these are GREAT as a comfy beach throw on for ladies, especially those who are bustier. Its summer here :)

Cool. I wish I look like him when i become older.

your blog is great! i love it. Good luck!

love his look, especially the pants with shirt tucked in.

Did someone here compare smoking to the holocaust, that's just not right, not right. Cars kill 3 times as many people as cigaerettes…

just wanted to say i got your much wanted book as a christmas gift-it's wonderful and the stories in it are amazing as the fashion photography :) amazing

Ahh Scott, where have you and Garance disappeared to? Haven't heard from either of you in at least a week!

i absolutely love how mature he looks and it's not in any way cheesy. not like those 45-year-old, super tanned, super ed hardy'd dads who attempt to mature 'gracefully'. this man is the epitome of lasting masculinity, and he isn't even a senior citizen yet! can't wait to see more photos of him in the future.

Looking good.

Tres, tres chic. I looove him.

http://freeshitigottoday.blogspot.com/

Slimply the french Class!

It would kill you to do a little updating during the holidays? A little season appropriate snow? A well dressed Sinterklaas? A handsome baby 2010?

We need more posts!! I have eagerly been checking the Sartorialist everyday in hopes of a new picture.. Not that I don't love Mr Cortina's masculine style.

altho this man is well dressed i think to leave us with him over the holidays is weak.

glad ur taking a well deserved break maybe a holiday color savvy collage or a written note would be betta.

I like it! What are those glasses?

when are you coming back? I miss your photos..

he looks so self confident :]

happy new year!!!! A new year of more inspiring and beautiful people! thank you!

that colour combination is really lovely. and i love the button on his trousers x

…and I need to light a ciggy after seeing this creature. HOT!

i love this photograph. it's like james bond meets george clooney only better. amazing eye.

hot as always. if u would be a man i would dress like that.

Yowzas! What a stylish man! http://www.bloggamonsta.blogspot.com/

Happy New Year Scott. Thanks for the sartorial wonderland you provided in '09 – here's to many more in 2010. x

Wow- very hot, but it's really about the walk, the confidence. Still, the shirt looks great, and the color choices together are very good.

I love the way he emanates chic, style, coolness: great colors, great shades, love the cigarette!

I really wish that everybody would quit with this holier-than-thou attitude toward cigarettes. The fact that a person smokes really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things as far as fashion is concerned. Many of the posts on here treat the cigarettes as if they are part of the sartorial choices made by the subjects of the photos themselves. Posts such as the one claiming that "The Cigarette is garbage, but I love the colors!" is nothing more than the poster letting his personal opinion toward cigarettes known, no doubt feeling as if they have accomplished something by doing so. Let's not lose sight of the purpose of this blog people, please! Live and let live – it's really none of your business if somebody smokes or not. All of this aside, I happen to love this gentleman's ensemble. It is very masculine but still allows a hint of femininity, especially in the slightly puffy sleeves and detailed neckline.

awww, c'mon! he could be wearing ANYTHING. no fair to everyone else…

One word…."YES".

A real man's man!

you guys are talking about his fag like it's some sort of fashion accessory. It's there because he's smoking it; it's not part of his outfit. Mind your own

j'adore le style et l'allure de cet homme..
simplement sexy
karine

whoa

this guy is oh sooooo sexy!!its all in his laid back attitude…love the fit and color of the pants.

sublime!!!!!!!!!!!

o my WOOOOORD. this man is magnificent!!! the salt and pepper hair..o my!!! His outfit would look even better hanging in one of my closets…hehehehe.

i want to put him in a glass frame and admire him (and his cigarette..and im a non smoker) for all eternity!!!! there is simply nothing better to do with this piece of perfection…yum yum yum

i'm actually more into the pieces he's wearing as separate entities rather than the predictable albeit sweet whole. that shirt with its deep v neck tends to be paired with stiff, tall, peaked collars but here the collar resembles a polo shirt almost floppy; further the shirt's material creases like linen around his abdomen but between the way the collar sits and its apparent thickness it might be any number of blends. and whatever that belt/pants part is, its bangin.

I love the whole look, it woks so well for him, effortlessly chic.
great match watch and bracelets.
Pity the cigarrete

thanks for taking us on these delightful little trips around the world!!

anyone know the eyewear?

it'cool! without belt.
Because Contrast is good.

Dank… He always pull it together… Mr. Cortina, you are the best!
