The Sartorialist

Can’t see him on the pitch at the Stade de France!

I simply love men in women’s jackets.

I do wonder how his hat stays put. The different period references and mixing of male/female garb makes this totally funky. Me likey!

something about this whole ensemble, to me, is much too effeminate. I like my men to pull off the feminine touch with an edge.

loved it, a lot of personality

fantastic!

the fur coat is a stunner! also I love the “dandy” finishing touches, like the driving gloves and the watch…

At any rate, is is just me or is there a trend growing for gentlemen handbags? I didn’t see so may of them around only a couple of years ago…

He’s trying too hard. Subtract any one thing (hat, nose ring, watch, fur collar, gloves or bag) and the rest would work.

if you think there is anything redeeming about this you have officially lost your mind.

I kept looking at his gold watch and the holes on the gloves. This area is intrguing.

more men need to wear fur

Wow, this is stunning. He looks amazing.

amazing.

Hummm ! Canoooon ! :)
J’adore ses gants à la Karl Lagerfeld :)

how glamorous! the glint of his watch and the gleam of the fur coordinate seamlessly, and the gloves are very lagerfeld-esque.

um…….no.

I like this but I think the fur is a little too much

Wow! I love how he takes feminine elements–the gloves, the fur collar, the way his hats perches just so–and makes it his own. He’s both androgynous and genderless. I love all of it!

I’m sorry, but no.

OMG HE LOOKS LIKE ME! love it, i only hope I pull off this look as well as he does

wowza

He definitely has a cool vibe. Although it is far from classic styling, at least he is playing around with style in his own way, and having fun.

Love the Bal.

fucking brilliant

a little guy in granny’s clothes…granted a rich granny…hence fashionable?…he’s been doing it since he is five…it’s his nature…

Tres feminin, non?

my gloves!!

I shouldn’t like this but I do. There’s not enough bravery in mens wear these days. Nothing but sportswear or suits can get so dull.

He’s definitely teetering on overdone. Still intriguing though. Mens fashion should look like one puts it on with care and taste, but then forgets all about it.

He hasn’t forgotten all about it.

So decadent ! I love it…

wow, that is one attractive guy.
love the piercings.

I like the fur collar…this man is not looking to be accepted, he just wants room to be who he is. He commands the space he occupies everywhere he chooses to be. Smart.

Interesting. I usually enjoy the attempt at mixing masculine and feminine attire yet his outfit just doesn’t appeal to me. Perhaps it’s just a little too much going on with the bag and the gloves and the fur and the watch and the hat and the piercings. Men wearing woman’s attire is fine by me. I once saw an attractive woman wearing a pink pea coat, and would have worn it myself if I had the opportunity.

I love this ..amazing!
I appreciate the facial hair and piercings, without it this look could be lost on a man -but surely he could pull off anything. Cool gloves too

Love the zany Frenchness of it.. where else would someone get away with testing the waters so well..

<3 this

would’ve been spectacular minus the piercings..

i’m on board for everything but the bag. maybe something more structured would have been better. put all this on a woman and it would be very interesting, but i think even men working an androgynous vibe need to watch out not to overaccessorize.

I don’t know whether its the lighting or what not, but it seems very vampiresque to me. The juxtposition of the fur, gloves and hat with the women’s cut and gold (digital?) watch make it really unexpected.

ugh the whole look is sooo chic! i love it all! that jacket looks gorgeous! and the bag(balenciaga i think) is gorgeous. every fashion obsessed boy needs a bag. geeez…what do you people expect him to carry….a suitcase?!?! ugh that’d be ewww….

Check out matthewizzo.com or oaknyc.com and you will understand that this guy is not dressed for hanging at a sports bar downing pints with his football mates. He is aware of his limitations for personal eccentricity as are most of the folks in the ensembles on this site. He knows the drill… get it tailored and refine… refine… breathe.. then subtract one more piece. Now I do agree that the gloves work, but lose the watch or vice versa. I think that the watch is to accentuate the goldish tie but it totally gets lost with the glove-watch-cuff action. The nose ring is personal preference but imo.. neh. His face has enough cool accessories with his trimmed facial hair, strong nose, deep set eyes and Jim Dandy Sixteen Candles watza happenin’ hot stuff Duckie top. The bag is very hot! Very Surface to Air.. loving that look for sure. The jacket is very fresh and tailored to his figure… though the watch does hide that fact at sleeves end and doesn’t allow the gloves to add that visual “exclamation point”.

fuckin fabulous.

not my type of look

Sorry, too fem in my eyes. But he´s got balls to wear it!

oh no, yikes!

I love everything about this look except the fur on the coat. I feel it’s the wrong shape. I think the collar of the jacket should not be v-lined. But I do have to admit I adore guys that wear handbags (I am a girl), I think it’s very cool. But nevertheless I love the whole thing.

I adore the fur and the driving gloves but not together. The hat, piercings, and watch are magnifique however. As for the bag, well c’mon wouldn’t it look great anytime, anyplace?!! His confidence makes him look cool without looking too try-hard! Love this pic!!

I adore feminine looks on men.

But this feels contrived.

Formidable. True the flaring faux-fur collar is feminine on its own, but on him it’s not effeminate so much as feline. He’s a dandy aristocrat of bohemia.

We need more pretension on the streets.

I get the feel of the 40s from this picture. So vintage yet so modern. Love it!

PS – I will probably buy those gloves now.
