The Sartorialist

This man is very sweet! Love the yellow flower -so trendy;)

You gotta be kidding me! I mean that in a good way.

Energie

Perfect!
Bravo!

Witty!

The shoes-socks take guts and complete assurance, which he has.

PS, am noticing a trend–I believe it’s a trend–of buttoning the top two buttons of jackets and coats…doing so can help emphasize line….

the scarf makes it!

i saw an article about italian men cuffing their pants like that.. ‘to show off his extensive shoe collection’

yea!!!!! He’s so cheerful! What a wonderful person to encounter on a winter day. Thanks for sharing.

maybe my favorite all time shot

thank you!!!

Love the shoes, so innusual in this season

I adore his sense of color (the light blue scarf, nice red shoes and vivid little yellow flower), the length of the pants is somehow working well with the coat, too (I usually find that length a bit tricky), great background contrast too!

The guy is Ignatious Joseph, the guy behind http://www.ign-joseph.com/

I met him once in Duesseldorf and talked to him for a couple of minutes.

He always wears these red shoes and shorter pants. Individualist, but very stylish.

He looks great if you don’t look at his trousers. I have never been a fan of the Thom Browne look. I love the flower on his lapel, and the red shoes are interesting.

Interesting pic, Sart. The trousers here are much too short, as other commentators have pointed out. And the colour of his socks and shoes? Bloody hell, NO! It simply doesn’t work. Progress not perfection, I suppose.

That’s not a Thom Browne look!Mr Browne always forgets to put his socks on.
Back in the 1980′s I was a bit of a skinhead, and this gentleman’s appearance reminds me of those days, with a Crombie-esque overcoat, cropped trousers, and a shoe-and-sock-combination that looks at first glance like the oxblood Doc Martens we used to wear. That bowler makes it look even more English.
Youthful but dignified!

have you posted this picture before? or was it in gq or something? It looks remarkably familiar.

This men is so sweet

This picture made me smile, and I was having a bad day so far. Thank you sir.

Hating the red Ronald McDonald size clown shoes. To me it is totally distracting from an otherwise charming look.

Nothing to say!!

GREAT!!

perfection.

His confidence shines even more brightly than his awesome red shoes :^)

That’s a FUN look. He’s got a sense of humor in addition to a sense of style.

i adore this outfit on him. it seems so sweet and suits him to a tee.

LOVE the shoes – mmmm, red!

and… i think i spy a south asian man, possibly the first i can remember seeing here! what a cutie.

My baby’s first pair of shoes were red. Red shoes to me are joie de vivre. And here, he has placed his feet just so, because he loves his red shoes!

Sart, you should come to mumbai. The streets are full of people dressed like this.

It’s a very playful look. I like it.

I love the way he has tied his scarf; not such a striking detail as the flower, the shoes or the hat, but just as important to the ensemble

There’s a thing called a fashion statment…

the dark, deep, mystic colours on him are there…BAM, there’s the shoes & the flower..

now THAT’s a “fashion landmark !”

without the shoes i don’t believe this would have attracted as much attention…

So perfect for a gray winter day.

This gentleman has a great sene of both style and humor. The brown derby is the perfect somber foil to the outlandish (in a good way)shoes.

His shoes and socks are fantastic!

love him! :)

Can’t see what there is to love!? Although his outfit is nice, you can’t see it because of his awful clown shoes. The hat color doesn’t go with his face either, for some reason. Btw, has red shoes EVER been nice???

straight from neo-realist reverie.
bravo.

The hat and the fabulous red shoes make this outfit complete- fantastic color combination

Could he possibly be any cooler??

No.

Love the way he combined those primary colours.

Certainly made me smile.

the whole silhouette looks so modern. and balance of colours with primary spots works perfectly!
little yellow flower…nice!

thanks for this!

Loved the yellow flower and his red shoes.

this dude has major balls!

but i must admit, outfit is pretty gangster….

This man clearly has a sense of humor…..and a real joie de vivre…..he made me laugh out loud…..cute!!! LOVE the flower and the RED shoes……

i love it! he just makes you want to smile!

I love that he has rolled his pants up to reveal his red socks..which perfectly coordinate with the yellow flower. I want to see what he is wearing under his coat..

Oh my gosh– this is fabulous. I love the color choices he made– the yellow flower and red shoes contrasting the blues. Very original, yet classy. He pulls it off.

Utmost class. It is, I think ,the frist time that I LOVE short trousers. He is beautiful and all the shades of blue look heavenly.

the red shoes are so stunning, and also the yellow thing on his coat.
