The Sartorialist

I am wearing my Nantucket Reds today! I truly hope the rest of your audience appreciates red pants; I have certainly gotten some jokes in the office about mine. I think this guy starts with a challenging color (red) and pairs it well, as far as shoes, shirt, jacket and tie. I cant see what is happening with the pocket square, but I dont like what I see, perhaps I would have rather gone without. One thing for sure, I am pairing my pants with a light purple shirt next time I wear them. Jorge from W Palm Beach

Uuuh: this shirt and the red trousers – mut be a brave guy! But he is right, it looks grrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeaaaat!

I’d say the tie is a bit pale, though?

hmmm… what a mix. only red and navy blue are fine for me!

An adventurous palette which would benefit from a little subtlety.It’s slightly cartoonish which his tall frame and long arms do nothing to mitigate, but it almost works. I think the pants throw it off the most. Not that they couldn’t be bright, not that they couldn’t be red even. But this isn’t quite right.

I love him. I want to be him! I have red pants and they are my absolute fave for summer. Can I just say I want to steal those shoes right off his feet and take them home with me. The patina is perfection!

I bought a pair of lightweight red pants last year. It was something of a bold move at the time but I’m glad I did it. They are not dissimilar in color to this gentleman’s. I was living in Florence at the time where such flamboyance for color is more comfortably accepted. In Italy a lot of men in their late-30s and upwards incorporate bright shades into their work wardrobe. In New York it’s a little trickier – my girlfriend says I’ll start a riot – but I think I pull them off (no pun intended).

Wow-swoon!

nice hands.

Looks, like its from a fashion show! I luv the look! The stylist really put this one together!

i feel i like i’ve seen this look before, over and over again. don’t get me wrong, the cat is rocking it, but there comes a time when you have to personalized your delivery.

I am really into red, white and blue combos right now, and he just pulls it off, even if his white is a bit “lavender”…

Who needs the Italians or Parisians to tell us how ro dress this is both classic American with a European touch.It could all have come from Boks Brothers or J Press but the way its put together shows an almost English disregard for the norm.Mot a fashion shoot its a BLACK THING. Think Harlem or any black neighbourhood om a sunday morning after church and youve got it.

Great use of colors! This person is definitely a risk taker…I love it!

People with deeper skin tones can carry off the most unlikely colour combos. When I was in Africa I’d see it all the time. This red and lavender is freakin’ hot. Not that a Norwegian dude couldn’t pull it off, actually I’m sure he probably could.
Regardless Cheers to bold choices!!

STUNNING.

I gotta tell ya, this color combination is wild. It works, with the exception of the tie, that is a bit pale. The shape however is not very good, he seems to have no torso, and very long legs. in his case he should have used th second button of the jacket instead of the top button. It would have highlighted the front of his shirt and elongated his torso. Does anyone agree?

Bold color choices. Not easy to pull off but so well executed! He looks great! Very handsome.

wow! love the color combinations. striking. I’m a lil unsure about the lavender but he pulls it off.

Well Done!

forget the red pants, that skin tone is what makes the outfit! gorgeous…

Very difficult to get perspective in the photo, but it looks like the guy is really tall. That may explain why his tie doesn’t reach his belt buckle.
I like the tie and the shirt quite a lot. I think they look great together.
I’m just not sure about the fit of the jacket. It looks a bit too fitted in the waist, and a bit too short in the sleeves.
I imagine it must be difficult to buy off the rack if you are exceptionally tall. The selections at the Big and Tall shops can be limited.
You’ve got to give the guy credit for pushing the envelope. The color combination is challenging, without being offensive.

Ultra snazzy outfit! Hard to pull off, but he does it with flying colors…literally. And, hello, could this guy be more handsome???

The pants sure jump. I do not care for the lavender shirt, but think it could work with a different tie. Purple might pull the blue(s) and red together more.

Shoes!

so well proportioned on his frame

just about perfect and even patriotic without making me nauseous. i’m sure that wasn’t what he was going for but he definitely scores.

FANTASTIC!
Love the red pants. And the shoes.

I’m infatuated.

Who is this man?

Is he single? Straight?

I need to head into the city one of these days and find myself a snappy dresser.

Beautiful, bold man…would love to meet him.

somehow he pulls off an unusual color combination. and he looks totally at ease – i'm guessing he has done some modeling work at some point. love his whole look & the fact that he does not dress exactly like everyone else…

OK – Don’t (cyber) shoot me…

as all things are subject to perspective… here’s mine;

- Shirt and Jacket Sleeves a bit (too?) short… note that they don’t actually reach anywhere near his hands.
- Accented by Pant legs that are bit long for my taste – watch the fabric collect below the knee.
- Pant legs with cuffs as deep as buckets
- The tie seems a bit wide (and ‘heavy’)

all that to say…

- Bold color combo that MORE than works
- Suit Jacket with great color, pattern and cut (sleeve length aside)
- The tie is helped by the spread collar shirt
- Belt and shoes seem to match the ensemble (and each other) wonderfully
- Clean Cut and Clean shaven… classic.

Why, might I ask, do men not look/dress like that in America?

nearly bought my first pair of really well made and that fit really really well (Brioni…which is unusual) red pants …a while back ….and looking at how awesome he looks I really really regret it now……BTW people get it in your head if you want to event exist in Italian Fashion..U MUST WEAR NAVY …….and not the navy we have here ….but a particular shade they recognize over there….I cant describe it …but most italian made clothes will offer it.
CIAO REGAZZI!
and always
THXSAR!

Great color, but yeah–even better if those pants were faded Nantucket Reds. The plaid on the jacket is a little bit too Raleigh-department-store-men’s-section for me, if that makes any sense.

All those colours somehow work well, perhaps because of the two primary colours bringing everything together. Love the shoes.

He’s got massive hands. Looks great.

very dapper.

THE SHOOOOEEESSSS!!!!

I would have really loved a close up on them!! ;)

Love the deep cuff.

I’m quite sure those shoes are from Berluti. To be exact, Alessandro lace up court shoe!

very stylish and extremely sexy

Don’t know how I feel about the outfit, separately, but this gentleman looks great!

I love this look :o)))

he is VERY handsome!

is that what they are called? nantucket reds? ok, cool. what are pants from detroit called? scandal blues?

Love the RED pants that go oh so we’ll with his skin complection.
