i like this! great style.

Hmm I can't wear my watches like that on the outside, italian thing?

lookin sharp

I love the fact that he is wearing his watch outside his cuff just like Gianni Agnelli.

A watch on top of the shirt ;D

Love his style. Please marry me!

Is the DB blazer a bit too big for his frame? I am looking at the jacket shoulders vs. his natural shoulders, and the roominess of the fabric below his chest. Not sure about this one. Jorge from WPB

CLEAN, SHARP, CLASSIC

Sometimes I put my watch on like that as one of my blouses tight sleeves won't let it go on underneath. But then I always end up taking it off before I leave the house as it seems a bit weird and is uncomfortable.

The watch, not the blouse.

He looks comfortable though. I do like his hair.

i love his style! superb blazer!!

fashion atelier.

He's having a great style.
I like the fact that his blazer is double-breasted, looks great in a light colour. Better than a suit blazer.

yes mate, spot on

what a really terrific,
classic blazer,
such well tailored linen.
very italian,
very milano.
i like the watch placement,
as well.

I like the particularly with the watch. This makes the difference! BELLO

I like the watch over the cuff feature too! And the color / pattern combination of the tie / shirt.

Sunglasses seems to be the second showpiece to me; at first sight they complement perfectly, but if I look long enough I wonder if they really fit him… interesting effect.

Fresh. I like the tortoise shell watch.

He looks very chic and debonair! Fabulous style.

Parfait. Look gracieux, amusant et

The shirt and tie are spot on. The watch is very Agnelli. The coat, i don't know,looks a little ill-fitting, I guess. No to the shades.

Why can't people here dress like that? Or better, why can't I be there!?

I definitely like the watch thing, but I don't like the rest.

I think a gunmetal linen or a sateen light blue linen might have fit better for this look. Dimensionally, the outfit works and he does seem to be very well accessorized.

@Maija. What ages his outfit is the fit of his double breasted jacket. A sure fire way to add years to an otherwise classic ensemble is to have it ill fitting and slack where it needs not to be. If his jacket where a 40 Regular, and then tailored to sit close on but not cinch his waist, then his appearance would seem more youthful with a nod to the old school.

I think this would be perfect, except for the three day beard. I don't like it with the tailored look, and the beautiful watch.
Sorry!

I don't like the jacket with the pants. The sunglasses – ugh. The watch worn over the shirt sleeve – yuck. The hair – need I say more? He looks like he's pretending to look summery, but that would be quite hot to wear. I preferred the man in all white – now he looked like he was dressed for hot weather. This guy is just trying.

Love the white of the jacket on the white of the background. Beautifully exposed photo.

Clean lines, smart jacket, lovely :)

That jacket is ah-mazing.
What a great spring ensemble. (:

The jacket, the shirt, his skin, the sky…

Agree with what Montague the Monocle said. The jacket is great, it just doesn't seem to fit quite right. Love the colors and the feel to this shot, though. Makes me want some nice warm weather here!

International playboy! :)

Easy on the fit, people, he's presumably a real person, not a model. The shoulders fit perfectly, particularly for a double-breasted jacket. Any narrower and it would look like an unstructured lab coat. As for the rest of the fit, with his hands in his pockets it's really impossible to see how the jacket naturally hangs on him. If you want to see real ill-fitting clothes, come to the West Coast! Anyway, it's all about the linen with dark accents as a seasonal transition, IMO, and it's beautiful.

jorge and eric are right, that coat

He is so hot! Great outfit!

The deal with the sunglasses – ever have a pair of Persols? That's the way that frame fits, tilted on the face and big. Couldn't be more italian (well, maybe Prada or Zenga, ok) couldn't be more classic italian. With Persols you take the good with the bad.

Great photo, Sart! I do believe this outfit comes straight from a photo of Luciano Barbera. The jacket does see rather big, but overall a splendid effort.

gaudy. sorry but I really think this is the kind of guy we Italian women (or rather Milanese with some taste) tend to leave aside.
everything is fake in this guy. and the sunglasses, puh-leeease, there are some newer and more tasteful styles out there that might fit him better.
I leave it to other girls.
the shoot is great though. Sorry Scott.

The jacket may seem a bit large compared to the current Pee Wee Herman fit in fashion. (Soon to be pathetically out of date.) Besides, I do not believe a superb fit is any substitute for style.

Would have preferred a less perfectly squared hankerchief. A little nonchalant sloppiness would have given the whole ensemble some snap.

As for sunglasses: maybe he just had cataract surgery! (Of course I'm being sarcastic!)

I've always thought Agnelli's watch over shirt was an affectation. All the more so when done in imitation by someone else. (Tried it once for 5 minutes… felt ridiculous.)

Ciao!

I agreed with Maija that his head doesn't fit. I thought at first he had a topknot too.

I think he's showing too much collar under his tie, but maybe that's a new style.

Does'nt he look a lot like tom cruise?

terrific!!

The fit and style of the blazer and the knot of his tie, his shirt front – it looks all wrong to me until I notice the watch. Loads of personality.

Something about the knotting of the tie and the bunched shirt below the collar makes him look a bit choked. Also I think the pocket square should be a pale colour, not chalk white, and should be more playfully deployed. I'm really not loving this watch-on-sleeve caprice, and the patch ticket-pocket.

yeay, finally men in suits are back on your page… nice :)

I love the color, its really subtle! Love the white of the jacket on the white of the background. Beautifully exposed photo.

wow charm and gorgeous guy, just adorable!!

Is it just me or do double breasted coats leave some people look like they're wrapped up in a fabric condom?

Darting on the jacket might've given some structure and saved him from the condom look…

Perhaps some looser fitting pants as well…

so fresh and put together!

gorgeous! – handsome one ;)
