On The Street...Me, Just Older
So I asked this guy if I could take his photo.
With a slightly confused look and a deep French accent this young gentleman offered me a cigarette.
I explained again that I thought his outfit looked great and that I would like to take his photo. This time he got it.
He looked at me, then looked at his own outfit and said "you like my outfit because we are dressed the same."
I hadn't noticed but he was right!
We both had on jeans, blue cardigan, white shirt, and old-school sneakers.
I only hope I can carry it off as well as he does when I'm his age - please, anyone that knows me don't write in and say I'm already his age!!

This style reminds me to the 80ies. A classical one.
That looks like something I wear on a regular basis...and I'm a 23 year old female
and I do too, I mean I wear kinda similar outfits ;]
i love the sneakers! here's to not sporting those awful one toned JC Penny shoes!
I have to get sneakers like that
Part of the reason he looks so good is that he is fit and the outfit looks right on someone who is active. Having a 34" waist at 75 is one way to look great no matter what you wear.
That's a great outfit for any age!
Fantastic! Both look and story.
he looks so fresh for his age. i think that's really special.
Years don't count.
He must be very calm & cool man!
I am glad to hear that you wear and admire the cardigan. So many slam it.
I have a 20 year old J.crew wool charcoal grey that is lined, wears like a jacket. It's absolutely my favorite garmnet.
This look has me written all over it, though I prefer quality shoes, haven't made the leap back to white tennies. I guess I'll try it.
i am actually wearing that exact outfit today. And i'm a girl. :/ is that wrong?
He is a man to be admired. While we suffer with our wardrobes, the first thing he puts on before he goes out is himself.
MY NEW IDOL!!! best pic on the sartorialist in weeks!
i saw this photo in the book and i really really love it
The guy is just cool
