The Sartorialist

A secret contemplative stroller :)

Leather gloves in the hankie pocket look nicely insouciant!

I love his expression, I love the scarf that brings out the whole feel…

I would love to know what is on his mind…great shot!

I definitely have a leaning towards your images of the older set.

There is something about seeing a life well lived that gets me every time…

Can't go wrong with that scarf ;)

This man is like a elegant version of Hank Moody (Californication)

kiss

Love the whole look..even the cigarette despite not being a fan of smoking!!

yes, and he has it!

so bad boy, dangerous man:)

Especially if it comes with great clothes like his. Really would like to have a closer look at his silk scarf…

A cross between Bob Geldof and my husband.

He exudes style. I love the ascot and the leather gloves in the pocket!

Though I don't feel this man is approachable by any means I love his style. The patterned scarf, the gloves in the breast pocket, the rumpled double breasted jacket, the cigarette — so easy, so incredibly cool.

he's so elegant!

Hot, hot, hot!!!
I do so wish non-smokers would keep their comments to themselves! This is the way it works guys… quite a number of Europeans (including myself) and non-Europeans too, I'm sure, have an intense love/hate relationship with their smokes. We know it's bad – really bad – and we tell ourselves regularly that we will stop the insanity, yet we love our smokes. So live and let live, please!

One of the best pictures ever!

In my opinion, style is actually not about clothing..although..good clothing helps! Style is about being somebody. Style is about people who have the courage to take a stand.

A man like this can wear almost anything and he'll still look great! It takes great observation skills as well as photography skills to capture this. Chapeau!

confidence gives style. Definitely. it might be on the walk, or mannerisms or whatever but it's not always about the clothes.

In fact, I think true style has nothing to do with clothes.

oh…my….yes!

best picture i've seen here for far. The Lancia on the right and the way he holds the cigarette…its got that x factor…

great work

Awesome walk! I love it and I also love the scarf/bib thing he is wearing. You got him in action in a great shot. xo

Yes, a walk is definitely quite a portion of a style…and this man really has a swagger…
and to reply to Gon yes everything can have a style×D

I´m still wondering what´s the best thing of his look…

Maybe the gloves? Or the daring contrast all-in-black with the scarf? As you say, the walk? That way of smoke while walking and thinking? The double buttonned?

Who cares?!

bravo

Lovely photo, altogether a brilliant look & loveliness, classic class.

here comes the hot stepper!!

This image is worthy of an Impressionist brush, such as Édouard Manet. This man looks like Édouard Manet himself…

Lovely. I think this is very elegant gentleman, too natural style

That is a very cool look. As a guy just entering his 40s, it's nice to see middle-aged men wearing clothes that are both cool and age-appropriate.

The walk is a part of the whole outfit.

I love the placement of his gloves…the walk says it all!!!

+8!3

The scarf looks good

Wow, amazing jacket and scarf but that double-breasted vest is something else; where does one find such things?

He looks like my ex husband. Same walk, same hairline, even the cigarette.

i agree! i've always admired a good walk or posture or stance.

with thoughts, it's the real life with dark garment

Fierce

Such a stylish gentleman! italians do it better.

I love this man, he is so sexy and self-assured. What a perfectly put together outfit. A bit rumpled, but depending upon the fabrics, this cannot be helped. Love the scarf! And yes, my favorite line, I'd follow him home!

He reminds me of Nine's Guido for sure!

Almost wish my husband starts smoking..and grow older

He has such a distant look in his eyes, he's not at all aware of himself as being cool, he's simply confident. This shot just proves that style is not limited to the young. Also, please can the non-smoking comments-Europeans smoke, get over it, and they don't have as many hang-ups as Americans about a variety of things. It's part of their charm.

Love the gloves in the breast pocket – I'm gonna try that one – beats having the bulk in the hip pockets!

Thats one William Gilchrist, London stylist extraordinaire who always nails a look.

only in Italy….

It's a cliche – but I must say the Italians always win it in the style stakes – as evidenced by this marvelous blog and in particular this gent. Rarely is their style overdone as it is in New York and London particularly. However saying that; the Sartorialist, get yourself down to Savile Row. It's an oldie but still a goodie when wishing to spy some styling fellows.

I used your picture & the line from another post.

Oh, very nice! I saw his more recent picture, Variation on a Theme. He really knows how to dress, this man. <3 And he looks a bit like my Drama teacher. But then again, my Drama teacher wears Spiderman and South Park ties and neon-colored socks … all right then, maybe not such a strong resemblance.
