HANDSOME! I love his beard, and how he looks like he's been on a journey. Very laid-back outfit, love it.

Looks like he could be a character in Sex and the City! Linked to probably….hmmm….Carrie or Miranda. Love this photo so much. XO

Where is the zipper? Not really my style, but i'm curious.

I love a man in rolled up jeans. Especially as this guy could conceivably been hiking (or at least walking with purpose) and got a bit hot so rolled them up supposedly for practicality… although clearly all the while knowing he's rocking a look. X

I think I like most of this, except the bottom of the jeans.

Very HANDSOME man with piercing gaze! He's one of those rough and athletic looking men who just looks good in anything, especially in a well worn look like this with the zippered skinny jeans, black shirt with pearl buttons, and obviously, his favorite pair of sneakers. His beard and mustache which he seemed to keep tidy make him look very dashing with bits of gray flanking his chin. Gorgeous!

Hooray we are back in NYC. Have really loved this cuff look this summer. Thanks for sharing

I would like to sit down and have a conversation with him!

what jeans are those!! YUM!!

yummy sexy man. Beards never get old.

even if he wasn't a backpacker, he looks like he has the excitement of being one!

Unless his basement apartment is flooded, that simply is foolish looking. He seems to have a nice look otherwise but that's a tad on the ridiculous side… especially for his age.

Very nice shot though!

the denim and shoes are insane.

I always like when guys do this. It looks so cool, casual & confident. What could be more attractive than a guy with confidence?

-le sigh-
I cannot express how much this photo makes me miss nyc…

love the shoes! best everr!

I love the look but somehow can't see my (gorgeous) 40 something, conservative husband wearing this.

THIS is style! Great tattoo makes all the difference.

love your blog! how about comming to Lisbon a see some beautifull people here? i think you are going to be surprised ;)

the entire look is fantastic, slim sofisticated, like this shirt ant tattoo

Who says you should dress your age… that's just silly. I like the shoes because they're not converse- They're different and I like that. And I also like how he dresses young and not conservative, Just because your 40 doesn't mean you have to throw away all your sneakers and go with leather loafers! Common! Sometimes you just need to kick some sneaks! And about that tattoo– seriously I have seen another photograph on this site of a man wearing paint splattered jeans on this site (( possibly the same person )) with his toe against a light post. I'm assuming it's the same Brooklyn Neighborhood and possibly the same person… I think you FREQUENT these people.

This isn't a good look in my opinion… it's forced in a specifically New York kind of way. I like the shirt and backpack, but the jeans are too trendy and not very masculine… which I think is important for men's fashion.

LOVE

Love the shoes, but the texting pose is so 2009.

They are lovely but… the only reason a man his age should be wearing anything like this is that he is going to hop on his bicycle. He would look foolish were he not so handsome (and has such an excellent photographer!)

Marry me…

I'm speechless. The look is both amazingly rugged and refined.

Cute shot. I like the jean cuff zips turned up that way (he must be a petite guy); I love the bag (well, what we can see of it); and I particularly like the obviously well-loved sneakers. They remind me of my current favourite sneakers I bought in Barcelona 2 years ago: 'Vialis aro'. They are still gorgeous: cumfy, stylish with large mesh panels for ventilation in the heat, they've got that same well-loved worn look, they remind me of how hot and wonderfull Barcelona was that week I visited.
Ciao, L in Oz.

what kind of shoes are these?

Perfect style for a modern urban explorator !
Love the bag !!

i love the mood of this photo, amazing snap, no need for words

handsome guy

The most stylized I've ever seen a back packer look.
P.S: The back pack is actually a piece of beauty.

i like the cool dad effortless look and attitude with the facial hair.

I like his beard and his backpack, very nice.

Girlfriend jeans!

He is hot and looks really trustworthy. I like the man!

Love all of it! The worn trainers, the fitted shirt, the leather backpack and cuffed jeans! Fabulous!!

C'mon, you can't be serious? Those jeans are ridiculous!

I think the only right word to describe this is.. awsome.
really. <3

great bag

;)

OMG! Gorgeous guy, in love with the beard and his laid-back outfit!

I like it!

I have a feeling that just outside of this shot is a fabulous bicycle.

I like how the look and color of his shoes contrasts greatly with the rest of his darker toned outfit.

I know this guy.
He's the guy in the painters trousers from a while back.
He looked great then, & great now.

very cool!…love the pants

love how its casual but still put together at the same time.
looks like a busy man!

had a search – backpack isnt chrome – any more ideas?

This guy cuts my hair! he's awesome…

I've actually never commented before, but i think he looks amazing. Weather or not he tried to be sophisticated is sort of irrelevant, he succeeded, its not revolutionary but…this is a nice break from the suits and ties who look like they've approached style and have it by the neck to this casual but no less relevant design decision.

He is Handsome and he is very well dressed, effortlessly.
I wish I could dress that well.

tres beau en effet!

I'm confessing my ignorance!

Pleease, someone explain why everyone thinks the skinny jeans zip leg rolled up that way looks good. My first reaction was, "Gee, that looks stupid," but then I saw that everyone thinks it's great. What am I missing?

he looks like a courier veteran.
love him.

Rarely do you photograph an American as hot as this man is. OMG, he is absolutely gorgeous. So relaxed and so well put together. I love his mix of funky and classic and how he puts his own spin on the jeans. The shoes are so old and worn, yet he pulls it off without fault! Love it! This to me, is a lovely portrait. Wow!

I like the shirt, but the shoes and jeans, not so much.

For those who wonder about the shoes : these are PF Flyers, one of my favourite alternative to Chucks…and way more confortable…Dig his style.

Love the NYC style. As a Londoner this inspiration this is so refreshing. Can't wait to visit!! But where can I find jeans like these? Does anyone know?

After the below picture of the four Italians doing their age well, this guy just seems, well, like he's shooting for a lifestyle look that's a little too young for his forty-ish years…
But, judging by the adoring comments above, elegance or style is sometimes truly in the eye of the beholder.

i'm in love.

wonder if you know his bag? such a mystery.

http://www.kampungningrat.com

Is this man available!?

Love this look… is not about age

http://coolneeded.blogspot.com

Luv the look hes simply cool! <3

I love this look but the bag is the best.Does anyone know wchic bag is that?it's not a chrome or a freitag….

The Most Interesting Man In the World. He has a few bottles of Dos Equis's in his backpack.

So handsome.
Oh hello kind sir..

Hahaha! I've been doing that to my pants this whole year! Love how everything fits!

i have met this guy i think …on a bike riding over the bridge…or maybe he is a barber…cant quite remember…he looks nice …love the shoes….definitely a personal style all his own….and the beard…wow….wish he were gay…and if i=he is wish he were knocking on my door ready to give me a makeover…or just a do-over

what a great looking man! A rugged and relaxed look with all the excitement in the details- the zippers, the red shoes, the tattoo (love), the little bit of gray in his beard make his look more interesting. subtle style.

Hot. Hot. Hot.

been looking for days but still can't find out where his bag is from…

any idea guys?

The bag might be an Ortlieb messenger bag? This fellow has certainly polarised the readership! I think he looks smashing.

Very Vancouver BC :) good work i would wear that

This blog is such an interesting socio-cultural study, primarily because of the comments that the images provoke.

I take tremendous offense at those who assert this gentleman should 'dress his age' and that he looks absurd. I didn't realize there are rules to be followed at every age. He certainly does not expose 'aged' parts that are best covered, he does not look undiginified–he looks like he owns himself, and his body, like an integral adult, and he doesn't look false or imitative.

What judgements people still have about age and what is appropriate! Particularly regarding someone as inoffensive and, frankly, groovy, as this fellow. The moment we as individuals follow prescriptions about what to do and not to do at any given age, well, then, we might as well go straight to a rocking chair and stay there! Aren't some of the most inspirational icons those who challenge social norms and expectations and carry it off with aplomb?

…he looks like someone who have hots stories inside of him..to tell you!!

i love this pic and this man! don't ask me that it embodies the perfect ideal of a new yorker…so cool..great!

Yowza! Sexy, handsome, American man! love the trimmed beard and his great haircut. Give me this over seersucker summer suits with shorts/bow ties any day!

He's so tiny! He's a tiny little man!

And yes, I want to have him over for coffee. Ahem.

I love this outfit! This man understands FIT. He is an honorary European.

Wonderful dress code for a tireless biker….I wish my boyfriend dress like him… and the tattoo is simply perfect!

D.

mmm…those shoes.

Love the look of the bag. Wish you took a close up of it.

Wow, he's lovely :D

Wow.

I bet he drinks Dos Equis.

Oh there it is!!! the perfect backpack! does anyone know where this is from or where to get something similar? So tired of biking around the city with bags dangling here and there all the time : o
And the rest is nicely put together!

Attractive,stylish,and looks approachable.

Love the old beat up red PF Flyer N5's. They make the look complete.

love this bag
