The Sartorialist

LOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEE the bag and the silhouette

wow, nice. the socks really make the outfit :)

Interesting socks

soooooooo cool

much respect for this

Lovely bag. The jacket reminds me of the Nehru jacket.

His style its amazing!! I really like his bag and his shoes!!! I love the Sartorialist blog!!!

I agree. Is he wearing nude loose socks? What's going on at the ankle area?

Too Ann Demeulemeester…

Nice shoes!

so happy being the first commentator here ;)
his style is great! i love the daring layers; cropped pants with socks underneath is simply genius!

THAT jacket!

I'll take the guy in the plain brown leather jacket over this any day.

My guess: he's a ballet dancer.

The silky nylons around his ankles are a bit of a surprise. His hair – may I say so – is in his eyes! But he does look beautiful. I love the East-meets-West vibe, neutralized by the black. Cool.

And he looks so cool! Loving the pants!

and so perfect!

i LOVE his jacket! delicious!

When I see something like this, which I appreciate, I have to wonder how this person dresses on a day-to-day basis.

parfait.

Love the military jacket worn so casually and that bag is great! Not so sure about the leggings though make the outfit seem a bit too androgynous….

So suggestive.
Love Ann Demeulemeester and the darkness atmosphere.
So north european.

I've seen it all before, even the hose. But hose like that, only with a dotted swiss shirt waist on my granny after a bad night at bingo. It's all about context, huh?

Beautifully adorned. Perfect…

Very Nice, Great, Love it. I've seen this a bit in NYC only once on a man. Love the varied length layers. Where can I get some

Love the jacket and interesting socksss??

So Ann D., so Julius, so Damir Doma, so Rick Owens, so… It's not particularly an original style, but he's very handsome with the perfect proportions to wear the look-of-the-moment extremely well– just wish he had slicked his hair back and didn't wear those awful socks/leggings that makes it look like he has saggy skin on his legs.

–PLO

Its definitely incredibly layered! It has a certain kind of dark charm to it, but I can imagine that its not exactly everyone's cup of tea.
But I do think that it works well here, especially when you're viewing this as a portrait as well as a style ensemble.
I really like his structured jacket- especially the small things such as the button detail.
A very interesting postin my opinion.

As usual, it's fit and proportion for me. However, it could be that I just can't really see the individual pieces. Is the jacket too big, with sleeves too long, or is that some sort of wrist warmer? Is he wearing a dress/skirt, or is that drop-crotch pants?

I think I like the jacket. But I'm not convinced it's the right size as the proportions look off to me.

Love the jacket…and tunic!

Not sure about the socks. To me they look like something I'm trying to avoid….old lady stretched out, saggy hose. I told my friends, if that ever happens to me; please shoot me and put everyone out of their misery lol!

It's Dan Thawley!! I adore him. Mwah!

looks like an angel… could fall in love.

I love the outfit, I want the pants. But the sad panty hose isn't doing anyone any favors. Is that part conceptual?

Everyone looks good in black-my favorite color!

It's fascinating to me how people are willing to grant leeway in so far as jackets and gender. But when it comes clothing for legs, men are terribly threatened by anything out of the ordinary. I wonder why that is?

Oh..I recognise him from around Sydney from a year or so back. Looking great!

Really great layering and textures. Can't wrap my head around the hose.

This guy has hair like me! And a bag like mine too! Kindred spirits.
So Mr Sartorialist, I know you're terribly famous and don't need any endorsements from little old me, but I do love your blog so I nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger Award -

It's a way of recommending your own favourite blogs to your readers.
Enjoy! Keep snapping!

Love everything down to the jarringly contrasting baggy "hose?" Not cute! Reminds me of an old lady with baggy support hose.

oh, lord.

So hooked on Ann D.!

While there is a certain level of androgyny at work here, there is also a more overriding historicity to be located in the coat, hose (sadly saggy), and footwear. What I find most interesting, is the manner in which he manages to combine both concepts in a way that seems somewhat familiar, but -at the same time-threatening to those who are more firmly rooted in the gender assigned roles we all normally inhabit in our clothing (not being in my 20s for quite some time now, androgyny will not work as a fashion statement for me personally, though much kudos to those who can still pull it off).
Living in uncertain times as we are, the natural temptation for many is to knuckle under and conform in the apparel they select. However, let us now praise the rebels for the courage and the daring to be different when it is the least likely thing most people would opt for.

i want that jacket…badly

great cut, and dark palette with powerful socks!

i have always loved ann demeulemeester.

Les Misérables.

A noughties rendition of Depeche Mode… Not too keen on the loose skin around his ankles…

nice one…super!!!!

With that jacket (amazing), that layering, the short "trousers" and the skin-coloured socks, he looks like some 18th century cast-off. That said, it is a great ensemble that, while odd, demonstrates wonderful use of layering and texture.

Cute. And conceptual.

Ahha! I think i understand now that i've seen his brooch – he wants to be a beetle! That explains it all :))))

Incredible jacket! The rest seems a tad on the messy side. Too much going on…

this looks more runway than street.and this meant in the best sense…

The guy is obviously really handsome, he has a gorgeous face but i'm not so sure about the over-all look.It's definetely on the wave, with the metrosexual meets gay something like that, with the man-bag and all, but it doesn't really work for me…masculine and simple do wonders.He has a look that reaches a point of high subjectivity, either you like it or you don't. I adore the jacket and the shoes, but…it saddens me to see such a nice guy looking like that. It just isn't appealing.

Oh! I can feel the story that this composition is telling: He is a model dying to come outside, smoke a cig, and run from hundreds of “bubbly” and “interesting” fashion connoisseurs inside, who are raving at the thought of another androgynous composition of the 18th century mixed with an antebellum Jacobin. On the other hand, he’s just dreaming for this day to be over so he can slip back into is perfect “plain” brown leather jacket and meet his “boring” girlfriend, for a “plain” and “boring” night out!

love your blog. check this one . i always follow it. It´s also awesome !! . http://patricianicolaslondon.blogspot.com

Great look…love the transparent socks. The deep mix of navy blue is truly inspiring. Great catch on the street.

Nice. Kind of Raj meets Hasidic.

I love the revolutionary influence in the silhouettes of the pieces, especially the jacket. Dude needs a haircut though.

The jacket, the ruffles on the sleeves, even the stockings – the whole ensemble has a definite 18th century vibe going on.

Silhouette!

I really dislike this outfit. I have to admit that the socks are innovate but it just seems wrong at the same time.

Does no one know what jacket that is? I want I want I want!!!!

Awfull! Men shouldn't look like THAT!

It looks like the outfit of a fairy tale knight who was suddenly thrust onto the streets of Paris. Like he is trying to put an elegant, noble spin on the clothes he finds in thrift stores. This is an outfit that speaks of power and beauty and individualism, fashion traits that can usually only be found in fairy tales.

come back for Christmas, already, Dan!! xox

very ann demeulemeester…i like…

no,no,no..the sock thing is bad bad looking

Love it when I see a guy pulling off the harem pants! My straight friend just got a pair and surprisingly/luckily he wears them well!

What up boy!
Fre4sh & swish to you!

best bag Dior ever made for men. It's so roomy and useful around town. putting the fringe thing on the main zipper (you cant see the fringe thing here) makes it so much easier to use. great outfit, especially the drop-crotch pants.
