The Sartorialist

it’s all about the lean line. the white pair of shoes is the dot on the exclamation point.

Drama in the back… It’s like he’s transfered the very best sort of ergonomic car design to his clothes with those spoiler-like fins. Cool.

(But he looks happily blase about it all – a good thing – rather than being all, “my look is inspired by the ultimate collaboration between automotive design and high fashion or whatever blah blah”.

This is a testament to the fashion imperative, to the will-to-style.

Though the result isn’t head-turning, the guy has definite ideas about dress and the effects he wants to achieve. Seeing him, the viewer is invited into a small private world.

Interesting. I really like the individual pieces, and I love how he’s wearing his scarf, but for some reason it’s not completely coming together. The pants just a touch too short, no?

The first photo is so good!

I just noticed how he tied his scarf over his trench coat’s collar. Hmmm, he obviously knows what he’s doing and is totally ‘styled’ to the nines. A for effort.

I LOVE the fact that this was done by a man. From the beginning, that he thought to tie his trench in this fashion with a clear vision of how the rest of the coat would fold, to the end in that he carries it off so well. And to top it off, the sunlight in this photograph is beautiful. Don’t you love the idea of natural light? It makes capturing an image much more exciting, it’s a gamble, and something that cannot be recreated.

So stylish and fresh and innovative. Did you ask him how hi does the fin effect? IS that starched to stay this way?

love the scarf!

The scarf is lovely. I have to agree with the first poster about the overall visual impression though..

haha! me too! everytime i visit thesartorialist, i click on the link in hopes the women’s section was added in early.
wonderful shot. very original take on the trench coat.

Despite the blur on the second photo, this shot is so GREAT!

I have no clue what’s happening around his neck but it’s just great. The shoes? Don’t even go there…it’s just great.

This one was surely stopped in the street for compliments several times.

mltt

yep, i love it when men wear white shoes.

love love love love love

Cute coat!! Love it. And the way he tied his scarf. Just wonderful.

I love the trench photos you’ve been posting. I’ll have to tie back the belt on my APC trench! He looks great.

I love the raincoat but nor the white shoes. The first photo of him in prophile showing the back of the coat is special.

caught in the noreastern, i found myself donned in a vintage, lemon yellow trench but feeling rather boring. then i remembered this photo and drew inspiration from it, using a hand-crafted silk scarf from prague. it’s really a wonderful look, bravo.
