The Sartorialist

I also like the watch here. I've been avoiding wearing a watch for years, but this look is helping to change my mind. I think in the States watches are too often about the 'bling' factor. This timepiece is, rather, a statement to good taste.

Agreed on all counts. Can we also agree that while showing the perfect amount of shirtcuff is essential, you should never, under any circumstances, reveal any shirt-tail? I see a lot of guys going untucked with a sweater. Just kills the look.

Fitted–so true.

My fiance is always saying to me "You look a lot thinner and better in fitted shirts and sweaters than oversized!"

He looks great with a fitted sweater and I like the proportions!

Navy, classic fir, perfection.

Completely agree. Always nice to see the shirt cuff pop up beyond the sweater sleeve, somehow it completes the picture. Also, for some reason, clothes for the american market are cut so large, that it is difficult to get this fit, unless one buys the tailored cut, or a vintage piece. Great picture! Jorge from WPB

I agree – fitted all the way.

I like the proportion of the sleeve showing to the sweater too, it looks great. Thanks for helping us all.

The sizing on this knit is perfect. Looks really sharp.

agreed: this is exactly how a gentleman should wear a knit pullover. just as fred astaire would have worn it!

Sleek, handsome …. I really like.

What a fantastic smile. His pullover really attributes to the importance of fit.

im definitely an advocate of fitted knits for guys…girls can get away with loose knits b/c it fits that hippie, carefree "look", but i prefer to see my guys more polished…

Well stated. I feel out of whack when my cuffs do not show under a sweater. Besides that, I like to have a bit of contrast colour there.

i love his grey hair

Isn't it summertime in Italy? I can't help but feel ill when I see these guys all bundled up in the heat.

Elegance, Combination of white and navy is perfect!

Good point and what do you think about knit sleeves scrunched up the arm or folded back at the shirt cuff. I like knits unfolded at cuff, if over a shirt. I like sleeves scrunched if over a tee. Remember our Dad's half folded under sleeves on their Alpaca sweaters??!!

Yes! Perfect proportions. Great fit.
Larger opening neck size is so much nicer than American uptight crewnecks. Shows more shirt collar.

Is there any human on Earth who does not look good in navy and white?

Entire photo is a gorgeous color study.

I find it very difficult to wear a nice knit because I'm tall and I also have very long arms and a broad back so I tend to look very square. I do love the way it looks on a very slim person.It just looks good.

All very true.

He looks great, I love the combination of dark blue and white. And those watches are perfect.

I agree sometimes big clothes make a person look worse. They do not always cover the troubled area if you know what I mean.

Always show a bit of cuff out of your sweater sleeves. And yep, fitted is the way to go although some leeway is allowed with a more rustic sweater like the Arran, but then when you're wearing one of these no one is going to be paying much attention to your fashion sense.

Classy dude…

Nice Audemars Piguet!

Classic and cool. I'm looking forward to the cooler fall weather so I can bring out my sweaters. You can't go wrong with this style in most settings.

i love nautical inspired looks!

Perfect fitted!! That's it!
Guys we do not need your knit reveal us the shape of all your hard muscles or nipples (in the case of some extreme fitted knits..)

This man is gorgeous! There is something incredibly charming about his smile. Not to mention that he obviously knows how to dress well.

Amazing smile!

I have shortish arms, I can show a bit of cuff with my jackets thanks to some tailoring, however, it is much more difficult with a a jumper. What to do?

i like the shortness of the knit here.

It's a cashmere and silk Brunello cucinelli jumper: I've got the same, it fits very well!

:)

I think the jersey is too short! He has a magnificent hair colour.

Yes, I noticed how everyone is bundled up in the sweltering Italian heat, but my comment was vetoed. I have no idea how they pull it off (?)

great picture
beautifull knit

Watch is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, MSRP in the U.S. is $22k

So true. The only proper way to wear a knit.

isn't it too much hot to wear this kind of knit in Florence?

Nice AP watch.

He is so delightful that it hardly matters how nicely his shirt and sweater combine. I can't get enough of his smile – and his smile lines.

Does anyone know what kind of shirt this is?

What really makes this look is his smile. He has such natural style and elegance and his happiness is contagious.
By the way, I love your blog and check it almost every day! thanks for the inspiration

His gorgeous smile makes this look Nantucket nice instead of Nantucket nasty!

Totally agree with you.

….and sporting a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore with rubber strap completes the look. granted he couldn't get the thing under the cuff;)
