The Sartorialist

In this case, I feel the pocket square, simple as it is, adds a flair of sophistication that really completes the look and makes it noticeable.

that suit fits within an inch of its life! perfection

the tie, the pocket square, the leather page boy :: tailored – but oozes personal style.

he reminds me of ‘tony sinclair’ minus the fiction and the tanqueray

dapper.

Very well put together… the hat creates a sense of casualness… i wish i can see what kinda shoes he was wearing…

booya

thats what i said when i saw this picture

Great look, the hat, afro hair, gold watch and ring take the elegant but classic suit to a whole different level.
I like the proportion of the shirt collar and tie.

I find the combination of his leather hat, the suit, the blue shirt and tie, to be thought provoking. He looks great, and I’m thinking the outfit would work even better with a darker tie. Striking, nonetheless.

Love the hat and the draw down from face-shape/beard/jacket to my real favorite…the fist pump really gets me.

Slick, but the tie is a bit too much. It looks like the tie is wearing Simba, rather than the other way around.

What a quirky little man. Totally digging the gold watch. I bought a fake rolex not unlike it for $20 and no one can tell. Of course I am still in high school so what do they know.

What a confident, sleek, and gorgeous guy!

This man makes a wide tie look fly – be still my heart. I love the cock of his leather brim – it’s like a nod to Bill Cosby in “Let’s Do it Again” and Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder they Come.” Yet, the crisp white pocket square signals a nod from the 50s. The only quibble I have is that the crotch of his pants seems a bit baggy for his small frame. Yet, the gleam in his eyes makes up for any faux pas.

i always liked this look for him.

ouch he’s so sharp it hurs to look at him! Perfection.

When Simba is standing straight-up the jacket sleeves are not too long but his giant watch keeps the shirt sleeve from falling naturally – one of the reasons I don’t wear a watch

Oh wow. He is sharp. No other word for him. Love the cap and the tie is sublime, makes it all so elegant.

Wow, this guy has mixed corporate and street perfectly.

fantastic posts today … young/mature/man/woman/new york/paris/japan….all smart

THANKS

Nice effort – but would have gone with different square – too matchy matchy

Too fabulous for words!

Isn’t it the same guy you’d taken the pic of in August?

They look so similar…

Anyway, nice look, good picture – as always :)

cheers

A kind of call-and-response between “knows what he’s doing” and “doesn’t.”

The hat is of course absolutely wrong, even/particularly as “quirky.” The jacket’s single(?) buttoned button is set too low, almost at waist height, creating far too much shirt and tie reveal, and the shoulder-neck fit seems iffy.

Also, there’s way too much matchy-matchy baby blue, a color that, in my opinion, should be removed from the spectrum.

But…he kinda makes it all work, after all.

so slick ‘n’ smoothe.

Suave and sophisticated….however the model/person’s built does not do the suit justice…..

Doesn’t ‘Simba’ mean lion in Swahili? Very appropriate here – fierce…

“matchy matchy” – a phrase that has been taken way to far. It has gone from the idea that everything you wear need not match exactly to a way to ridicule any attempt to color coordinate clothing and accessories. Its as though one must be completely discordant in order to be fashionable in the eyes of some.

While I can understand how some might not like the outfit (though I do), I fail to see how this is too matchy match.

He is a specimen to be found in the most cosmopolitan cities in this world. His look seems romantically informed by the old Village Vanguard jazz scene. He isn’t a throwback, but is rather an heir of style. The modern accessories and the tension of qualities definitely update that look and illuminate his qualities as a dressing ‘artiste’!

Elegant and sexy! He looks wonderful. The tie is a bit big and striped for my taste (it reminds me of a barber pole), but Simba is definitely impeccably dressed. Love the cap, pocket square and old school fro and facial hair.

Skalicious

Love the tie! Love the triangles in this photo: the hat and face shape, the goatee, the shirt collars, the shoulders and slender waist and the triangle formed by his bent arm. Just gorgeous!

Jet Futeristic says “hes sexy” n her zsa zsa voice.

Sharp. Love it.

That’s Simba from the Domenico Vacca store on West Broadway! I met him at the store – he was so warm, kind and helpful. He looks great in this picture!

This is the hottest look I have seen in a long time! Wouldn’t work without each of the elements. This guy needs to give some lessons to the men around here in northern California…

This is great and effortless. An interesting choice for a tie, and it works so well.

The hat, facial hair and seductive glance add a huge dose of personality to the man’s “uniform”. This is style!

hello!
