Comments on "A Little Hidden Something, Milan"
am wondering if he considered any other colour :-) Oh I doooooooo love red...there's something about it..the wondrous engergy of red methinks
Hey, that's also my "signature" ! :-)
And it is also M. Balladur's one (a former french Prime Minister).
Lovely sock colour. Especialy with the brown oxfords.
It went very very well with his shoes i dare say.
Beppe Modenese was the first to wear red cashmere socks which he buys from a shop in Roma which sells to the cardinals.
Seriously cool. I think the chalkstripe works so well because of the hair and skin tones.
ooh god how i love those socks! isn't it lovely, how a tiny piece of colourful fabric can turn the whole outfite inside out? chapeau bas monsieur
Overall, a classic look. My only slight aesthetic quibbles are that trousers with a slender leg should not have turn-ups and that the shoes look slightly too heavy for the slim outline of the suit.
The shoes are a beautiful shade and the red socks add that burst of colour. Wonderful.
He has great style! I love vibrant colored socks peeping out from serious menswear!
Hidden treasures, that rocks! I like it!
that makes me smile...
Many people tell me that red & brown don't go together...well...**** them!! Red & Brown = stylissimo!
Totally subversive. Love it!
I love the length of the pants. Perfect.
oh boy, that is great, red socks and brown shoes.
LOVE
Totally sharp. Like the streamlined pants, and of course the red sox. There's something wonderful about subtle moments of flair in dress....
love it! just a little something to make you feel mischievious.
haha, very nice. =)
good eye.
I'm seeing a lot of this sock fashion lately. A guy on a plane sitting next to me was wearing a pin stripe suit, pale pink cashmere v-neck sweater and crazy thin-striped socks in primary colours. Loved it!
PS, here we see what T. Browne hath wrought: short(er) pants and a generally slimmer line.
This quy's dress is absolutely "correct"--then we look a bit more closely...and....
snooze
everything about him is perfect...
the fit of the suit, the jacket.
the monochromatic outfit with the unexpected pop of color on the socks.
not to mention, the fact that he is gorgeous and that beautiful grey hair doesn't hurt!
The socks are great color and whimsical but they really show off the wonderful shoes...I like the straight leg pant and the excellent wing tips. The socks just bring your attention to the shoes. Must be english.
love the pegged trousers--how does he get that big red foot through that tiny opening?
I Looovvveee the socks. So hard to get away with that in stodgy ol' Toronto without getting sidelong looks or comments about one's bravery. It's nice to be validated. (isn't that why many of us visit this sight?) Best Blog Ever.
A true modernist with his red socks and brogues
The shoes look clunky. A more fitting last would be a perfect design with the cordovan leather.
My father-in-law did this always. When he died my mother-in-law gave away all his red socks and we all wore them to his funeral.
Love love love that little surprise of color with all the rest somber tones - I think it makes you wonder what the man himself is like. No boring businessman, he.
Oh yea...He knows it works.
I have a friend from Hungary who is always jokingly pointing out his red socks. He keeps saying that's how you know he's European.
I don't know if it's the lighting, but that shade of red goes beautifully with that shade of brown on the shoes.
ohhh damn
This man epitomizes the look I want to attain in thirty years.
Hell, I wouldn't mind dressing like him now.
love the clunky shoes with the slim suit
What a fun surprise.
Do the Milanese have a sort of "one off" fashion sense? What I mean is do they generally add a little something different to each outfit just to try it? Maybe they'll incorporate it or maybe they won't. I ask because most of your photos from Milan feature people with at least one item that I consider somehow off kilter or not right for the ensemble. Sometimes even a little sloppy.
This man's choice of socks, for instance. I don't understand it. I don't know if it's a statement, a mistake, or carelessness. I don't like it and if he were my father I'd ask him to change.
Aw, that's amazing!
wow. perfect colour!
Now you got me wondering what color and type of underware he's wearing!!!
I vote for a leopard print thong. :-)
ma che bello!
I love the use of bright color in little surpring doses...
omg this is absolutely perfect!
I too share this man's love for red socks paired with almost anything.
Awesome! As a lady sartorialist I always wear bright socks with my loafers. My professor asked if it was a political statement...hehe!
The Devil wears Red Socks! I want to know more about this guy . . .
wow did you know his was wearing red socks? if yes, you have the eye of a fly!!!
Wearing 360 degree welted, brown wingtip bluchers with a grey striped city suit is certainly an, ahem, interesting choice.
His suit jacket does not fit at all. It is simply too tight - notice the pulling at the middle button.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you really all see those socks as red ?
I would say dark orange, or orange red, but certainly not the classical cardinal red.
In french, trousers of such length are called "feu de plancher" (floor fire ?), wich means they are slightly or not so slightly too short. Please let's not import in civilized Europe a rather debatable american custom.
For me,contrasted color socks should be hardly visible when you walk, only to be fully revealed when legs are crossed. But this is only an opinion and the guy in the picture is nevertheless really good-looking.

He is really good looking.
The socks look orange on my monitor.
ohhh pretty!
Wonderful! I have to say I have found the ensembles of the men in Milan to be more appealing than the women's so far. This one shows that he's got a playful side - and it's fun!
I really like this guys look as he must be closer to 50 than 40 and he can still pull off the close fitting suit with rather narrow and short trousers, the socks (of course) and the heavy brogues. Another great detail is the hankie in the breast pocket of the crombie. Many thanks for the Sartorialist once again.
I'm looking for a more feminine version of those shoes at an affordable price... Because they're sexy.
He looks distinguished and elegant and then, a little secret surprise of whimsicality. The socks look orange on my screen, which makes more sense with blue. The shoes may be a bit heavy for this look, but they look broken in and comfortable.
Haha, i've adopted that thing, only my socks are black with orange stripes.
He cuts a mighty fine silhouette!
beautiful and brilliant!
I <3 it
