The Sartorialist

nice colors, but I didn’t even care for that silhouette the first time around…

reminds me of Lisa Plenske in the german version of Ugly Betty (Verliebt in Berlin).

I agree. Don’t try this at home! Jacket is great. The pleated pants are not easy to pull off! I could never wear them. Wish we could see her shoes. And what type of bag has she got. I find that the “nerd” glasses are getting old quick. I’m already sick to death of them.

Really? My mother wore this is 1985. It wasn’t a good look then or now! I admire fashion forward thinking, but this is fashion in reverse in the worst way.

Pleated pants rarely look good on anyone. Cute jacket though.

Love her jacket and pants, and the little detail on the belt. Love the whole outfit!

cute girl, hideous pants–somehow the retro-trendy glasses play off the pants to make them look worse

It’s all about the red pants on the monk to the right.

Please tell me why you would add to a tummy bulge with pleats and then showcase it with gold chains? I don’t think this is stylish at all, at least not in a good way.

Very nice jacket!

I love this too! It’s so unusual, yet also strikes Diane Keaton and equestrian chords. Look at that belt! So well done! Love the glasses too and the natural face. Feminine makeup would have ruined it, no? The way her jacket and pants work together is genius! It’s preppy/academic elegance with a wink. Killer!

A 21st century Annie Hall! I like the look on her. Do you have a full length shot? I’d love to see the rest of the bag, pant length and shoes.

oh no!! i think its’ too literal, too annie hall…
too much glasses! too much belt! too much volume. i want the jacket to be more fitted, at least…

Not only did I not look good in those pants in the 80s, I didn’t look good in those glasses, either.

Hope the chain holds her pants up.

again another annie hall look, very similar to the irina post.

do you see this as a trend?

Like the man tailoring, and the jacket, but I’ll never ever do baggy pants again, and this shows why very well. No one can look good in them.

please please, don’t facilitate the return of pleats.

lovely pattern on the jacket though.

this is hideous.
i hate pleats.
her glasses are square (and not in a good way), though they seem to be in style in paris at the moment.
she needs a new “do”.
the bag does not go w. the outfit.
belt doesn’t make sense.
it does look like she tried, though, so give her A for effort.

She’s a little Diane Keaton in that it seems all so wrong…but I like deliberate and this is deliberate. Tremendous confidence is needed here to pull this off and she does!…I’m guessing, of course, but I bet she’s fascinating to know.

I think I saw this photo on style.com? The cropped jacket makes it work. Like that belt!

Yes, yes! this is fantastic! I love the glasses, the blazer, trousers and belt. She is gorgeous! – i wish i could look that good.

I challenge most of us broads to pull this off without looking like we’re wearing Mom Khakis.

Very Annie Hall, don’t you think?

Nice….

I don’t really like the pleated pants, but the coat and glasses are fabulous. The belt is sort of interesting, too. I really like the red pants in the background.

a woman after my own heart. love her.

Loving it. But it is unfair not to be able to see the rest of the outfit. Think it depends greatly on the cut of the pants (which seem baggy) and the shoes she’d be wearing. But it looks good thus far.

I’m not sure why, but I love this. Those glasses make it even better.

It was such a relief to read the comments about this outfit. I was so apprehensive that everyone was going to swoon, as usual, and once again I would be off in the corner by myself shouting “No, you can’t be serious!” P.S. I think I had those pants when I was in high school , as well as the striped shirt and the glasses. Probably wore it all with an Etienne Aigner belt.

Nice jacket..but the rest is trying too hard. I find that taking a retro look too literally can become too costume-like

Diane Keaton immediately springs to mind when I see this lady. Not sure about the trouser and belt combination but I like the jacket and specs.

She looks exactly Jan smithers. Actress on TeeVee’s WKRP in Cincinnati—seriously—google it!

not that i like the pants but the person seems interesting and funny

As a fellow glasses wearer and due to the fact that she is at some fashion event – she could benefit from more makeup.

Also she needs to perk up her hair colour a bit.

The bag reminds me of the tennis bag Annie Hall used in the movie.

Ugh. It didn’t look good in 1985 either.

she looks like a girl morrissey.

I don´t know…. I like it, I don´t like it , I like it again…mmmmmm
:)

Love how the belt adds a lot to this outfit..

i like her jacket :)

Wow, a lot of thumbs down.

O really liked this.
