Was there a Great Gatsby fan club meeting this weekend? Nice clothes, but they really do fall into the realm of movie costumes.

Woah, is that an orange flower in his lapel? If so, it even matches the lady's necklace perfectly.
I love his glasses.

Any idea on the watch? Looks like the Patek I've been eyeing for a while now, but the photo doesn't enlarge enough to tell for sure.

Love this roaring 20's inspired look. Flappers, straw hats and flowers headbands …you don't see them much these days.

The only thing I would change is that I would have been there (being a swing dancer at one point in my life).
Thank heaven for summer's day without men in ribbon belts and pants with whales embroidered on them.

I'm in love with the crease in his trousers and with the pin (type thing) in his tie.
I'd love to see what socks he was wearing.

It's really the proportions of his ensemble that make this photo stunning. Not everyone knows how to wear an elegant high waist.

Well, it is a far cry from Morocco but the outfits sure ring true. Linen, yikes, I normally dislike it but under The Sheltering Sky it's a must.
I like that they left no detail untouched. The vintage shades are super.

Is the title of this post a reference to the "Gilgamesh" anime? I somehow doubt it, but if it is I give you geek-cred.

Nothing quite exceeds the charm of soft rumpled linen on a warm afternoon. This man's is perfection. I have never understood why people insist on ironing this lovely fabric into a small-minded conformity.

GratefulOne, you are wrong. Yes, for some people it's costume. But many dedicated, elegant people dress like this everyday. It is part of their lifestyle and shouldn't be dismissed as costume. Gorgeous, Sart!

Dear Sartorialist, I am new to your blog, so forgive me if I'm teaching you to suck eggs, but have you ever attended Goodwood Revival in England? It's held in Sept – you'd love it!

I'm so tired of seeing the comments in the vein of "Looks like a costume/Nobody dresses like this/This isn't street style." This event may be an event, but I know dozens and dozens of people who dress like this almost every single day. It's a costume if you have to specifically go out and find pieces to make a costume, and you LOOK like you're wearing a costume. If people LOOK organic and right in these outfits, then it's no longer a costume but a straight up fashion statement.

The Governor Island pics really tip over to the "costumey" side. Granted, I love a Great Gatsby look every once in awhile, but I think this is more of a 20's club meeting or something. Thanks!

They look like they just have arrived there from a timetravel machine. How they don't belong there.. I am loving the colors. Even her lipstick does not look like a recent one! Loving the couple..

Every detail of the gentleman is perfection. Finding it hard to believe that he dressed himself.
This couple is also a testament to "clothes making the person".

my apologies for being so fashionably naive – but, all of these pictures from governor's island have *blown* my midwestern mind… is this just how people live/dress on the island? is it a movie set? it's completely gorgeous but it's almost odd how everyone looks the same… just wondering if there was a reason for it.

There's no vintage here, this is contemporary! Everything on the gent is very inspiring; the hair, the glasses, the fabrics, the watch, the high pants, the dashes of leather/tortoise/orange, even how the pocket hangs down a bit. Very inspiring and very today.
