Is it acceptable for the tie to be hanging that low if you're going for the soft linen-y deconstructed look?
Great 'tache…

How self assured does a man have to be before he can wear the narrow end of his tie longer than the wide end?

Nice Scott! You got a guy in a chino suit and knit tie as well? I'll post mine in 48 hours to keep it on an even keel. Love the scenery too. Seems as if the day was beginning to end very shortly.

The tie cheapens the outfit – plus linen combined with this type of knit, looks odd. On a woollen winter suit it would look better, but still knit ties are a no-no. We live in 2009 after all.

mostly just a very nice, almost startlingly eye-catching photo … no mere snapshot here … I like the way you're filling the frame more with the image, here and with the lady's picture just below … and there's also a close-in, surrealistic quality in your deep close-up that's at once scary and thrilling… are you using a new camera, too?? Of course the guy's macho sexy chic, but, firstly, I was taken aback by the knit tie in summer worn together with a linen suit; also I think he needs a third color … His haircut, however, is just fantastic!!

I met Simone on my last visit to Florence. He is a wonderful character and always beautifully dressed. I think his shop is called 'Andrews Ties' and is always full of beautifully crafted Italina clothes. When I mentioned to him that I'd seen him photographed, he was quite bashful. He is very welcoming and I'd encourage all fans of this blog who enjoy the the Italian cut and cloth to visit his shop. If you visit on the weekend you may also be served by his brother, a larger than life Lawyer, who is also great value.

Oh, these men's clothes rules you all cite, they are so boring! Do you go around issuing infringements and are you as stylish as this man? He looks fantastic. His tie is tied as casually as a scarf, perfect with a crumple-pending linen suit on a hot day. The shirt and the suit are a perfect warm-cool mix and the red stripe of the tie is just enough punch. Bravo. Love it. Get thee all to his shop.

I like the overall elegant look of the gentleman here, but I'm really not feeling the love for his tie… A little "sprezzatura" is one thing, but wearing the thin end of the tie longer than the wide end takes it a bit too far IMHO.

the tie. you object to the tie? let me tell you something . guys like this take risk, they go into fashion areas you sit and read about in GQ in the comfort of your living room, so that three years later you will have the courage to risk a knit tie. THE TIE! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TIE!

This suit has the kind of understated elegance that when done correctly is very striking. I love the look of a man in a suit, and this one is exceptionally tailored and, along with the cigar, conveys a sort of "man about town" image. I also love the knit tie. He actually reminds me of those " most interesting man in the world" commercials :)

Great shot and light and good colour combination, but:
- back part of the tie is too long;
- that suit needs an ironing…
- wearing a jacket with undone cuff button is not a good idea. You can perfectly notice when a suit/jacket is tailor-made without that showing off detail.

My father used to wear crocheted ties like that, in fact , he had a special one, in grey, used with his white linen suits.
He was a lowyer, and one of my best rememberings about him , was the moment I´ve got into his room , each morning, just to see him get his self all dressed up to work
he was a handsome man, white, almost blond, beautiful…

If I lived in an all year round warm clime I’d happily dress like this every day
I’m a huge sucker for lightweight, pastel shaded, easy fitting linen suits.
And the warm, cloudless, late afternoon/early evening feel of the light reminds me so much of what I truly love about summer.
A wonderful photograph !
