The Sartorialist

great great great !

love the blue combination
very stylish man with cigar.
LOx

I love the masculine chest hair and the feminine lace right next to each other.

Denim jackets are back? Aieee – run for your life. Next the leisure suit? Polyester flares? I see a future as a wind sock at a community airport for my skinny jeans!

beautiful mix of textures

His attitude looks as good as his jacket :)

That hanky has got to be vintage or with a lace detail that speaks to another age, crochet or tatting. What an unusual choice, along with the little denim flower, for this man. The blues and whites sing a serene melody to me. I love it.

i love the blazer, his attitude, his hair, and those aviators.
perfect!

this screams euro-cool to me. but if you told me this guy was in florida I would think american-trying too hard.

It's incredible how the decidedly "feminine" elements (the patch, the lace hankerchief) don't add up to a "feminine" look- instead, this guy oozes sensual masculinity! Well played!

You gotta love a man that wears a little lace. So refreshing!

I love this photograph and your subject. What an ironic play of pure masculinity with almost feminine touches to the denim jacket. Sort of mind blowing in a way. Not that it matters to me whether this man is gay or straight, but there is a certain wonderment to all that's going on here. He looks as "manly" as they come, but the suede flower and simple country lace handkerchief throw me way off the beat and track. Big smiles here, he's got my interest! Love the pants, the gorgeous shirt, and the jacket? Whats not to love. He is one sexy man!

That close-up detail of the contrasting denim flower and the lace edged pocket square really illustrates the care that Italian men take when dressing.

i love the lace and flowered pin on this jacket but what i love even more is the dark blue single stitching on outer pocket.

love love love.

i agree with nolita….italian men have superior taste. the end. beautiful!

He can only be Italian. It is not smart or have good taste, but I like it.

Makes me want to go shopping today to see if I can find a nicely tailored denim or chambray shirt to wear on "casual Fridays".

I saw such a shirt at the old Barneys (where Loehmann's is now). It had a cutaway collar and French cuffs.

superelegante.

I have been wanting to get this for my husband but then it is pretty much of a waste in Indian weather! Classy and casual wear.

really?!

wow this quite the statement. i can attest to loving denim like this. but it's hard to be completely convinced whether it's a fast passing fad or not

wow!

I love the little extra touches to this denim blazer jacket.

He looks amazing!Just such amazing style and personality.

wow. what a subtle and amazing sense of style. great look.

I'm not huge on the jacket, but its the lace I love in this outfit

Love it all!

Again, enough cannot be said for the re-introduction of the handkerchief to the blazer. But the real story here is the absolute beauty of the shirt!

love it!!! the cute, childish boutonnier, and the lovely pocket square complement his outfit so well… my only regret is that his shirt is printed not woven.
love,
agnes

that jean jacket is out of this world. love it

Love the jacket, love the man!

This is a great example of blues coming together beautifully…The turquoise in the shirt with the dark denim is stunning….I also love white pants…white pants only enhances the other items…Great details: white embroidered handkerchief …and is that a small flower made of denim?…beauty is in the details…PERFECT.

we need more chic and comfortable just like this in womens fashion

*sigh* I think I'm in love.

Wow I love the extra detail in his jacket pocket. A gentlmen with style.

Such a strong look- yet so simple

Hmm… is this Pocket Square & T-shirt man again? If so, he's bringing things up a notch, with a lacy pocket square and a much more prominent little beaded flower.

I wonder what the flowers signify, and if he makes them himself for his own reasons or if it's a bigger trend in Florence.

He's one of those people I'd truly like to ask about their look. I think he looks great, but there are curious little details I want to know about.

Perfecto!

well hello!

This is just too much to take… Where are these men?

This is the most beautiful denim fabric I have seen!

If you love textiles, you hafta love this! (I can't imagine denim ever being over-with.)
It will endure 'til the end of time
.
Lace hankerchief? Fearless originality! Bravo!
–JW

Very witty combination of fabrics: the hound's-tooth shirt, the fine denim, and the crochet-edged square peeping from the pocket. Nicely tailored too, though I suspect the jacket sleeves are a bit too long.

ohhlala, how handsome. the feminine touch on lapel/pocket + delicate houndstooth: tres fabulous!

IT'S NOT FAIR…
they were italian…
they were born to be gorgeous!!!

Keyhole button holes, hand top-stitching on dart seams, bound pockets, set-in sleeves!

His dress is a good taste. He are trying to say something from his motion.

hot, hot, hot,

is that a doilie in his pocket?

i'm all for spontaneous accessorizing but uhh…well…yeah…

Not to many people could pull the lace off & still look manly. He manages to do it with ease!

This is a great shot, especially because it captures something well rehearsed and slightly off putting, not sure if it is the doily, the cigar or the combination of both.

Probably the coolest denim jacket I've seen in a while. Understated and neat.

My vote goes against the sartorial denim. At least here. I would say that it lacks an element of "coolness" that denim implies although, aesthetically, it's an interesting proposition. Everything else works very well, especially the shirt.

wow. that's goooood.

kind of can't believe my eyes. delish juxtapositions.

amazing – love the cigar !

is that a Tom Ford shirt? Nice blue!

This blazer is wonderful and that pochette is amazing! wow! Great style! <3

Ummm, is the lace pocket square a step too far? It's not just feminine, it's girly.

This is the kind of future I want. Complete laid back style. Love it. Can say nothing more.

stunning man!

Oh Gosh! This is fabulous! I love Italy! Great Skills!

Dream Boyfriend…

I love the details !!! Awesome picture and guy…

I love the little lapel flower and pochette… gives rugged demin a softer touch!

Why don't you see more denim jackets like this? My opinion of them might change if they were more of these.

No backwater tux here!

Beautiful shirt and outfit. I am surprised by how many comments there are stating how well-dressed the Italians or the Europeans are, and how the women wish they could be with such. I accept that generally, throughout the US, men dress and look like 12 year olds, or just boring, however, NY, Miami, LA, SF? Please Sart., some photographic evidence that certain US men "get it"? tks

Really cute and unexpected details…it's impressive that you noticed.

That's quite a nice look, but isn't the general the rule:
'Bouttoniere or pocket square but never both, unless you're a roue or a cad.'

Then again, he's probably both, so never mind.

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like a Montblanc ballpoint.

wow. what a handsome man. very refined, elegant and modern at the same time.

Denim is the most utilitarian of all textile. It's great to see it used in a more 'dressed-up'context than usual.

Ooh la la! Gorgeous!

Beautiful combo of blues and textures!

LOVE THIS OUTFIT!!!! WOW VEWRY CLASSY!

Amazingly put together look perfect jacket, lace trim, boutineer.
First cigar smoker I've see who looked great since Steve McQueen in Thomas Crown affair.
Italian men have the most style in the world.

super sexy face…love the hair, beard and cigar along with the jacket details.

You say that "italian men have superior taste"…I agree but…you are talking about all these photos on Sartorialist.
Please come in Italy to see ALL italian men on the street!!

Oh WOW! I can't believe what I'm seeing, this is so perfect.

He looks a lot like the Venetian violinist Giuliano Carmignola — who was teaching in Siena at the Chigiana between the 7-21 of July …

I cannot even relate to the cloths as this man is so sexy!!!! I don't remember when I last got excited about a photo… or a new man :)))

This is a great look. I imagine him at the track betting on the horses in the next race.

oh lala a denim blazer has never looked so good!

As Anonymous pointed out, the Jacket is Lardini. They come with the filt flowers. And yes – the jackets are truly amazing is both style and quality

Blue denim blazer a knockout. The pocket hanky looks too much like the trim six year old girls have around the bottom of their leggings but overall he looks pretty good.

Nice shirt.

Wonderful details!

i love him style!!
this pochette is fantastic!!!

So elegant!

Cuter than cute! Just fabulous elegant creativity.

Azzuro I have been fortunate to spend much time in Italia
Always in Italia we see a dignity amongst the older generation, that is sadly missing here in the US, except maybe NY of course. I am always so impressed to see the retired men sitting amongst friends, taking the sun and chatting or playing cards. They dress with a sense of decorum and style in their dark sweaters or sports coats, a nice hat. Even those of modest means set an example of elegance to the younger generation.

I really like the boutonniere. Do you have any idea where this is bought ? I think this is not the first of this type I am seeing on your photographs from Italy.
Thank you !

I want marry with him!! Help me!!

Seriously sly charmer.

The pocket square's mischievous :P

ma che bell' uomo !

Espectacularmente elegante!
