The Sartorialist

like his shoes.

(WHAT is with the sleeves these days?????!!!!!!)

o_O i like his expression too.
trousers??!!?

Is that a shorter Terrance Howard with fabulous gold shoes??

i love how unisex this look is – i can see myself wearing the exact same thing. such a chic and comfy look!

Now men are doing the “pigeon-toe” too? This pose needs to go.

Toes aside, his look is eye-catching for certain. I like the play with lengths (blazer and pants) as well as the mix of plaid and metallic.

i am totally down with indulging the metallic shoe trend (i’m personally more of a sneakers guy).

how do guys do the no-sock look? to me it’s not worth the sweaty/smelly/uncomfortable ….ness. then i also feel funny about getting those no show socks that fit like ballet slippers. baby powder helps, but not enough.

Fresh to death. He looks awesome.

I defenetly like the belt-shirt combo and the jacket is nice. I am not so sure about the lenght of the pant and the shoes are a no-no to me… Only my opinion…

What shoes! Perfect for September.

Fun but not stylish, not at all. Pity for the shoes.

The plaid looks great with all the navy and the lighter pops of color at the belt and shoes. It’s not overwhelming at all. Honestly, I think that bizarre necklace really pulls it all together; if I place my thumb over it, the outfit doesn’t seem as balanced.

I like the cropped sleeves and pants, too.

Even though I might be able to look at each item on its own and say that it’s flamboyant or unattractive or the sort of item that would ONLY work in an otherwise conservative outfit to give a pop of flair, this overall outfit looks great and not at all “silly” or “horrid” or fit for Halloween.

The above comment about how unisex it is has me longing for a cropped suit in my size now, too…

It is a bit hard to make out the fit on the pants because of the shadows, though.

Those glorious copper shoes again! I love this gentleman’s look, playful but not silly.

nooooooooo. pigeon-toed stance and short pants? nooooooo.

i’m feeling very eloquent today, can you tell?

The shirt makes the look, together with the belt and shoes. And the colour of his skin. I like it!!!
Beautiful colour palette.

Blue jacket with black trousers… I was always told that it´s a “no-no”, but who cares.

Weird, on the first view I thought he has a mexican touch, then I discovered that it´s a clown hanging round his neck.
good sense of humour, particularly with regard to his “pierrot”-shoes.

what about his trousers?
funny fit.

Perhaps it’s because of the expression you’ve captured on his face…a look that seems to be going for quirky and playful comes across as menacing and slightly unhinged. Or maybe that’s just the by-product of accessorizing with a clown.

Yes: Shirt, suit, belt, necklace, coiffure and expression. No: cropped pants, gold shoes, pigeon-toed stance. Maybe: short sleeves; I’d prefer them full-length, pushed up. Fit of pants is dubious, but maybe the silhouette is messed up by the shadows behind him.

I want a female version of those gold shoes.

Nice that you included those gold fleur-de-lis on the fence.

The look is good because it’s enigmatic, I keep wanting to “interpret” it.

very female body posture though.

i would love to see the pendant up close though for my taste it’s overscaled.

sweet shoes.

pigeon-toes, no socks, metallic shoes, oh my! his stance serves only to make his legs look even shorter.

This is too many looks (and none of them good) for one man. Interesting photo however.

Hello,your blog is very beautiful.
This looks very interesting and do want to spend some time looking it over.

The Harlequin clown is a riot. What sass!

Is it me or do those pants not fit properly? His lower torso and legs seem to be rammed into the front half of the trousers.

My, he shines up like a new penny. Love the shoes!

I love it when examples of men dressing creatively are posted all the haters come out. It’s either regarded as hideous or something only ‘woman’ should wear.

Well, I thought the point of this here blog is to inspire and show inspirational dressers.

This man is dressing creatively and is inspirational—like it or not. Perhaps the haters should take a look inside and see what’s so troubling about a man expressing himself outside of the box we have placed men.

nice blog, pls visit us
we have a modeling ´s blog
I hope see your coment

I love the outfit AND the accessories. It looks like someone threw him in the dryer and his clothes shrunk or maybe someone stole his clothes and he had to borrow his little brothers tiny suit and shirt. Whatever the case it’s adorable!

There’s something slightly Artful Dodgerish about this look. I’m liking it…. yeah…. it’s growing on me.

The high-waisted pants aren’t flattering per se but if they went to his feet they’d be fly. For me that’s the only real issue (not mentioning the shoes). Even the jacket, which seems too small, works in a Dickensian way.

From the knees up this cat rocks.

3/4 sleeves on the jacket and 3/4 legs on the trousers. Wonderful. And all the rest works too. This is the difference between art and artifice.

Agree with Anonymous at 3.18. And look where the thinking-in-the-box bottom liners have got us.

Oop! On closer inspection, I can see it’s a clown, forget the Wizard of Oz theory!

Sorry, but no. Just not a good look. Men in capris? No. I don’t even like men with rolled up pants. Just too “precious”.

And the rest just doesn’t look like it fits properly.

I’m with the rest of the commenters on the pigeon-toed pose. It must GO.

I like it. A lot. Except that pigeon toed thing that he’s doing reminds me of Japanese girls trying to be feminine.

Regarding this post and “W. 21st, Chelsea” below it, I realized after reading the ensuing comments that my responses could have been stated in one sentence each. He simply made me think that the idea of a suit with cropped pants was an interesting one , and no he wasn’t even wearing a suit. She made me think, tactfully as I tried to put it initially, that those shoes with that sweater jacket were like fetish wear with a twin-set- I’m sure it’s done but it’s not my thing.

mmmm nice..

I’ve seen these (Louis Vuitton?) shoes a lot this year. I like them a lot. I would prefer longer pants and maybe a different belt, but I really enjoy seeing his pushed-up sleeves and the awesome joker necklace. Combined with his pigeon-toed haute couture stance, each element contributes to to make this a wonderful ensemble.

Definite props for self-expression, and especially that “a man” would wear such flashy, atypical shoes. And love the necklace.

Every British scenester girl does that pigeon toed stance… irritating. Love the necklace.
