On The Street......Prince Street, Soho
When I started this blog it was because I wanted to capture images of guys on the street that inspired me in the way they were dressed. Big details, little details, whatever.
This is a great example of how I use this blog. I have a great pair of slim fit Rugby khakis that I bought right before my June trip to Milan. I had them shortened and they fit great in the butt, leg, and waist but they always seemed a little wide at the bottom for my taste. I kept debating if I should have them tapered but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I was looking at this photo and realized that this is how my Rugby trouser should look. - slim but also sporty. I did my own take on a slight roll at the hem and I really like it.
When I dry clean them I always ask for a good clean crease so I can still wear them serious in the first wearing and roll them for the second wearing for a more sporty look.

post a commentThe cuffed trousers with the Converse, that's such a great retro/au courant look. His expression is wonderful.
Love the Converse... I think its a staple.. Everyone needs to have at least one pair....

I love everything about him. Can't stop looking. Same thing with the slick back earlier today. Is it the camera perhaps?
i like the sporty look...very nice
Sartorialist,
have u start shooting all these with your new eos 5d yet?
I think he looks great - a little bit nerdy, a little bit preppy but still cool.
However, I can't help being reminded of the character Ricky Wong in the mockumentary series 'We Can Be Heroes' - science student turned musical theatre actor and nominee for Australian of the year! (see: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/heroes/ricky/default.htm)
I think its the hair/glasses?
Any other Aussies see the resemblance?
I have athe Rugby chino and they have become slimmer. Rugby by RL, right?
hello, i agree with lopine, everything looks great but it is his smile and attitude which struck me.
On a different subject, and because there is not yet a forum on this blog, I am throwing an sos on this thread.
I often (very often) wear chukka boots with everything, grey flannels, jeans, suits etc. I have 3 pairs of the same model, from New&Lingwood in Jermyn Street (the best ones, unlined). I have therefore developped a habbit of wearing ankle boots and now that I have moved to the tropics want a pair of ankle boots dirty bucks (with linen or seersucker suits). I used to own a pair from Walkover but they have closed and cant find the equivalent anywhere. Help please.
Thanks
if I'm not mistaken this is one of the "Who wears Thom Browne?" fellows from the Feb.20th post.
He falls under the, how to wear a white shirt flawlessly category.
... this is how my dad looked and dressed like in the 70s.
wait, is he my dad?
ha.ha.
My first reaction was Stephen Chow in Kungfu Hustle and a little like Bruce Lee hehe...I like these looks, simple with some twists, casual yet has an air of elegance.
Yes, but--picky, picky, picky--I don't favor the careful, too deeply rolled shirt sleeves.
Fights the casualness of the rest....
This guy is just terrific-looking! More a combination of things than anything in particular, he just looks so relaxed with himself - love it.
I love this so much. Plus, check out his glasses! I am determined, as a woman, to find a way to pull off this kind of look without calling to mind the UPS guy, or looking like I'm wearing my band uniform pants from 8th grade.
He looks divine !
The white shirt is PERFECT.
The whole thing screems cool.
He is totally timeless. What I love is that we could see this young man in any era and he would look just as sharp.
Where do you find rugby pants? I think the cut of them would look great on my boyfriend. Love this page by the way, keep it up!
I'm also interested in hearing more about these pants. Poking around the web I find that "rugby trousers" in the UK means not slim-fit khakis but elastic (!) or drawstring (!!) horrors meant apparently to play rugby in. That's not quite what I have in mind!
Chu - I can't believe it took this long to get you on this site. Looking great as usual...
Waouww, he looks like my father when he was young...same style!!
Great look. Imagine he was wearing leather shoes - gorgeous.
We will see more of this style next summer :-)
Ciao from Milan
is this the same dude who showed up at your 'shoot out' at chelsea piers a few months back?
he looks so pulled together and relaxed at the same time. HOT
Now, THIS is an example of preppy-cool done right. The shorts guy in a later post is ALL WRONG.
I love the rolled trousers. It's so urban-chic but I still worry that this style might go out fast a la the tight rolled jeans of the 80's. Nonetheless, I will rock it until I feel it needs to stop.
Does anyone know who made these slim-fit Rugby pants? I can't seem to find them anywhere!
Chu-ey: you always look amazing...whether in Thom Brown or in preppy duds. tres chic!
Love this look. This guy looks like a dancer. His clothes make him look like he has a great bod. And he's happy!
