The Sartorialist

I really like the mix of the patterns on the top half of his outfit, but not so sure about the bottom half… it kind of looks like he forgot his pants. I like the print on the shorts–that print would look fantastic as a cute summery skirt.

I hope you seriously reconsider seriously reconsidering that outfit. I just don’t know what’s happening with shorts that length and those kinds of shoes without socks. To my eye it looks like he competely ignored what those patterns do to each other

I. LOVE. IT.

it’s fun, but it looks like he forgot his pants. (sorry, but a printed short like that just looks like boxers to me…)

Love the look, pass on the hairy legs! LOL!

A round of applause offered on the shorts. These were featured in Christopher Bailey’s Summer 2006 Prorsum Burberry collection. They were showcased on the runway with a simply henley on top. I’ve wondered if they could ever be pulled off successfully on the street. And I see that they have. Against the backdrop of a NYC overwhelmed and underwhelmed by horrid cargo shorts, this is a testament to the genius of Mr. Bailey. Yea!

Hey, esp. in summer and esp. with the state of the world…I’m thinking fun is underrated and we need more of it. I’m sick of boring/tasteful. I’m appreciating more and more people who are having fun with their clothes (even if I wouldn’t wear what they’re wearing). I saw a guy the other day wearing an outfit that was a symphony of orange–all elements composed of various orange prints, plus orange sneakers. He cheered me up like nobody’s business.

The shorts are summer 06 burberry prorsum. Bailey did a pant in that patern as well.

you took the words right out of my head.
yeah, sart, do some serious reconsidering before you reconsider.

I think the danger is looking too convoluted. He has a lovely air of carelessness in the ensemble that makes me feel like he didn’t at all overthink it. It gives it all a laid-back “don’t judge too hard” vibe. Of course, he may have planned this for hours…

Yes to the pattern mixing; no to the shorts, whose short looseness makes them look like bathing trunks. Jury’s out on the shoes….

The three contrasting patterns are the theme. And the theme is the tie that binds. Brilliant.

Is he the same guy , previously photographed in Milan beside a fantastic girl with wonderful legs?. Unfortunately this time he has been left alone , wearing awful beach shorts in an urban context.

Hairy legs are great!!! I find him almost smooth… but sexy in those almost porn/posh boxer inspired shorts

Oh NO!

What a cute guy. In case people are wondering, he dashed out of my place this morning and forgot his pants…

for some reason I think a belt would have been a good idea, working back to the shoes. I like it a lot.

And to all you man hair phobes out there, get a grip, most men are hairy and they still look hot!

It’s pure JOY. How great to see a fun mix of pattern, cut, and texture. It is unforgivable how stolid and dire men are expected to dress. We have survived world wars, disease, and two terms of G. Bush; for goodness sakes, playful attire is a relief from the ditum of safe dressing. Not only shoul you revisit this look next year, I pray you exploit a little more playful and daring looks that cross your path, S. I’ve seen you on the street in W. Chelsea and the Meat Packing..you look great. Give us all a reason to explore or persona through wardrobe. Lovingly , Jamesy

At first I had doubts about this, but the colours are really delicate–I really doubt it would work like this if the colours were any brighter or even a bit more vibrant.

And I do love the shoes.

MONDIEU!
This guy forgot to put his pants on this morning.
But a smart smiling face could compensate the missing pants.

please please only consider this look if you are at a beach club, the short are nice but don’t you think that they look like fun boxer shorts?

VERY nice legs
