the top 3/4 look great! I do not like the short, rolled up, pegged-leg, ankle-showing pants, though. And the shoes are atrocious.
Tragic Trousers

My thoughts exactly.

I was thinking exactly the opposite – I like the trousers and the shoes combined. But there’s a disconnect with the top – and not in a cool way, I think.

Totally agree about the shoes. Attire was somewhat acceptable until I scrolled down to the shoes.

I like each item of clothing individually (warn sneakers, cuffed chinos, unstructured blazer, nit navy tie… all staples of my wardrobe). However, seeing it all together here, it just looks sloppy.

I agree. I did not want to give him any points because the ensemble is awful, however each individual piece is stylish.

Crazy shoes. Look a little tatty but I might change my mind…

The upper half seems to be ok, the lower is definitely tatty.

Nooooooooo! Pressing would ruin the look–it would wipe out the cool, laid-back, summery vibe and make the look stuffy, “groomed,” and ordinary (and really off-kilter if he kept the cuffs and sneakers).
Of course, I haven’t ironed anything in years, so I guess I’m biased. :)

+1. I agree… no pressing necessary – it would clash with the shoes and smile. It’s all in fun and his smile shows it! Really! Even his shoelaces match his tie!!!

June 11, 2014 at 11:36 am
The attitude is all for those to see: “I’m in a bit of a rush to make a semi-formal gathering with some close friends.” The same amount of time spent in putting on some causal shoes was spent on his square. “Hey, I’m out the door!!!”

Those dirty white tennis shoes look inappropriate, and in poor taste.

The pose is over the top but he shows genius using navy laces to integrate those white shoes with the rest of his outfit and the lightness of the pants fabric makes the rolled up hems look exactly right. This guy has to be a menswear professional.

His untidy pants is interesting, is it the character of the fabric or is it a common thing in Milan?
Never met something like this in Jakarta, at least not paired with a suit.

This shows how a man doesn’t have to be well-pressed and immaculate to be stylish. The shoes may not be a general choice, but, as has been pointed out, he’s the sort of guy who can carry off this style

Wrinkled trousers, dirty sneakers and yet somehow this look TOTALLY works for him. Love the details of the matching pocket handkerchief and tie, and the studded bracelet.

From head to waist- stylish, COOL! But, from waist to toe- SO NOT HOT! He looks like he shrunk his trousers and stepped in his sneakers he uses to paint or help a friend move!

So of course ones initial reaction is: oh man so weird shoes and so uncouth pants. BUT on second look, it’s awesome. It’s just the right amount of “unraveling” that makes it cool and suited for summer. You don’t want to run around in a stiff suit in a heatwave. This is what you want to wear. I’m in.

I’m with the voices above: each piece, individually, makes a unique statement. I can appreciated the jacket, trousers, “shoes,” et. al., for their place. Together, however, makes me work too hard to see the contribution to each other. Maybe we look for uniformity first? Or, the complementing unit once the synthesizing process is over?

This man definitely has panache, color choices are great but the lower half could use a good press; the shoes are the anchor for the whole outfit–right now the shoes pull down the whole outfit to the point of drowning. A nice suede loafer or an oxford would make a HUGE difference for this outfit.
Nonetheless, no one should attempt any picture without a smile. Makes a marked difference with the subject when they smile.
Thank you, Sart!

a suede loafer or oxford would make it more dressy but not make it better.
This gentleman was going to an informal afterwork event, i thought the choices were perfect for the occasion.

I can’t agree with you on this one, at all. It’s possible you know him well, which biases your opinion, and, because you also knew where he was headed it made sense to you.
The only way this could make sense to me would be if he were just about to walk through shallow, shark infested water to climb aboard a rowboat. (Marine life won’t eat sneakers).

Wow, they say everyone has a twin, this man would be my late father’s twin. His hair, eyes expression everything. My Dad however was not a fashion guy, as a matter of fact he would pair plaids with other plaids, stripes etc. Of course “dad lookalike man” seems to have some fashion issues as well, even more reason to love him:) kisses for him!!!

This get-up would be SO perfect if he were wearing some more fitted pants that were naturally shorter. Those shoes rock! Nonetheless, he’s got that cool factor going for him.

I feel this is a perfect looking casual outfit. It is soo much more thought out and put together than just putting on those dreadful pajama pants, or seeing someone with their pants hanging lower than their butt with their underwear showing.
As for pant length, I think they are just fine. What is soo “right” about seeing too much fabric bunched up around a man’s shoes, or even dragging on the ground? The man has also not just thrown on a tee shirt or some sweat shirt after rolling out of bed.
If you think about it, this costume of the day is completely thought out. The man has worked the color navy from his shoe strings up to his tie and pocket square. All the textures of his outfit are rusticated in a way, but look cohesive. The wrinkled cotton of the pants is just a different version of a rumpled pair of linen pants. I give this man, for his casually elegant and thought out look, Two Thumbs Up!
One more thing…It might be criticized here, but when the so called “godly Famous Designers” sends it down a runway, it will be thought of as GENIUS.

The white and the beige is a good colours combination, one of the most fashionable and interesting. Italians are a masters to mix different colours and different fabric at the same time. Unfortunately the italians spend their time for this stupid questions. Obviously i am italian and so also i.
