On the Street..... Swede & Sartorial , Ostermalm, Stockholm

To me this is a perfect blend of classic italian tailoring with a modern , almost Jil Sanderesque, treatment. Bravo! Very Well Done!

I love the slim tie. Is the Beatles' look making a come back?

A very dashing and handsome gentleman! And very well dressed too.

Yes!!!!

Sorry. This is my favorite kind of look for a man in a suit; simple, dark, tiny touch of color. Beautiful photo, too, with the tangle of bikes and the slice of red sock.

 

Blogger CityGal said ... (9:04 AM) : 

Men in suits give me shivers (of the positive kind!). If only more of them would stick to this type of one/two-button European cut. It gives them a great V-shaped elongated body. [Stay away from the three-button box!!!] Wish you could have taken a back shot - I'm itching to know if it's got a single or double vent.

My only gripe with the photo is the lack of a smile - a guy that looks that good should always be smiling!

The slim tie has been a hit for quite some time in Stockholm. It´s even reached the point where it´s getting a little old and "normal" ties are coming back strong.



Ps. I have a question for the Sart himself.
You have an amazing talent when it comes to finding interesting outfits of different kinds, however I can´t quite put the finger on what your oppinion is on brands like Dsquared and D&G and the look they wanna reach out with. Don´t think I've seen anything from Dsquareds springsummer 07 here.

Love the length of the trousers. Not too short but enough to be noticed.

 

Blogger will anderson said ... (9:39 AM) : 

i love the suit. the tie...perfect. the clothes fit the personality...its really great, BUT...i never think you score points for bright colored socks. if the clothes are great...you dont need it. if they're not, you look like a clown. its just my opinion, i could be wrong. i do like the photo. the red socks with the bike reflectors...sometimes it just comes together like that.

Haha, how sweet with the red sock :) Classy, anyway.

Cool as a moose--especially the shorter pants and red socks....

i love the bikes in the back.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:32 AM) : 

It's not a very slim tie, it's just that the small knot make it look slim on top - if that makes sense

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:35 AM) : 

And red socks! loooove him.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:36 AM) : 

I just love the bright red socks...just so minimalistically stylish.

 

Blogger Diana said ... (10:38 AM) : 

Do I see well the red socks?????
brilliant idea. before discovering the socks I thouth...what a boring guy...but now, I am really curious about the underware ;-)

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:43 AM) : 

Great look, love the red socks...

Btw, its pretty funny with this Ö-malm/S-malm beef going on. So typically Swedish, Jantelag is the word of week. Look it up.

Lastly: Sart, I hope you've had the chance to see more of Stockholm than just Östermalm and Södermalm. Would love to see you take some photos of our interesting "förorter".

Read the Sartorialist survey for his opponion on Dolce & Gabbana. I think its mid 2006 in the "archives" section.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:37 AM) : 

It works but it is a uniform.

Not much thought put into this outfit. That's OK, too.

Just a dark suit, white shirt and dark tie.

But because the suit is a bit trendy cut and the fellow has on red socks, well, it saves an otherwise uninteresting outfit.

Still, nothing wrong with the whole look. But Just sort of average.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:53 AM) : 

I am a Swede myself and I think it's very interesting to see the comments made by some of my fellow countrymen. I've never ever seen these kinds of comments ever before on your blog, so therefore I must come to the conclusion that this is something typically Swedish.

We are a very socialist country, ruled by the same socialist party 90% of the time since the 1930s. Our mentality is the one of the "Jante-law", a law which says that people should never try to make themselves better than they are. Our society is the opposite of the American, where individuality and excentricity is praised and supported.

Therefore I find it interesting, when a man from abroad with an objective mind, and who is also guru of style and clothing comes to our country. The "brats" of Stureplan and Östermalm, gets an acknowledgement from an objective source because much of their style and way of dressing is immaculate and indeed very stylish.

Maybe this comes as a shock for bohemian leftist people from Södermalm as well as from the suburbs.

This is also a sign of the ambiguity of the Swedish society, and just comes to show that we are a divided society when it comes to style, and politics. Unfourtunately, insisting on having this "beef" on this forum, is not very respectful to The Sartorialist, who is a guest in our country. I can't help feeling somewhat ashamed of the way some of my countrymen are acting.

Regarding the picture. Gotta love the slim ties.

A very sleek gentleman, indeed. Minimal is so good!

What a gorgeous Swede!!!! Love the outfit.

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (1:00 PM) : 

If you think is in average look then you work somewhere very very different from me. In the City (London) all the guys wear suits and *none* of them look this sharp...

Achived thoughts from last summer wasn´t what I was hoping for but thanks anyway :)

Even if I can agree to most of what your saying, to be honest your the one making a bigger deal out of it than anyone else :)


Ar

oh and by the way. This Ostermalm VS Sodermalm debate is cute but what about Vasastan? I guess Mr Sart was very busy during his stay in Stockholm and never visited the calmer parts of Vasastan. Would have been interesting to see his reflections and views of what he would catch on film over here. :)

ps. That looks like a Swedish made suite, my wild guess is Tiger of Sweden.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:22 PM) : 

Like the red socks ;)

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:47 PM) : 

with all do respect to the beautiful swede, but i think i should say this, since your blog is my fashion-go-to, and because she is a true inspiration for all fashionistas.

rest peacefully madame blow.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:20 PM) : 

I'd have an easier time with the red socks if there was another little flash of red in his outfit to balance everything.

 

Blogger Bobby D. said ... (3:20 PM) : 

I like how you snapped with one red sock peekinga dn the colors of the bikes in the background, it made the model more interesting.

To me, the red socks take a generally great outfit and make it HIS great outfit. They say something. They give me hope that bold socks aren't dying... (I was recently scolded for my socks of this hue, though I did not take said scolding lying down...) A very handsome man, to be sure.

No, no, no Robert... it is NOT Tiger!

Quoted from above:

Way cooler than Tiger!

great look! great suite! great socks! but i have a question to you all - this guy really gets away with the length of the trousers but could anyone?
daredevil!

 

Blogger Stratos Bacalis said ... (8:11 AM) : 

Great look but the red socks somehow ruin it, although I love bright colored socks.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:21 PM) : 

does anyone recognize what label the shoes are? I like this mixture of elegance and sportiveness.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:23 PM) : 

Don't know why but he kind of reminds me of Hugh Grant. Very handsome indeed, quite a gentleman's look.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:02 PM) : 

The shoes look like Crocket & Jones... I am pretty positive about that since I have a couple of pairs myself.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:49 PM) : 

I usually don't like suits but this works--is it because he's very cute and wearing his suit in a casual manner? Love the red socks!

Lovely photo lovely Man
Red socks red bike red lights
These hints of color in what is
a subdued color image
give the shot a vibrancy
and gritty edge
Just the man in his slick suit

My grandparents left Sweden for the US 100 years ago. What were they thinking?

This is my kind of guy. Perhaps it is time to emigrate back to the mother country.

 

Blogger Big Eyes Strange Names said ... (10:53 PM) : 

those socks! i dig seeing a man in a suit leave room to play.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:35 AM) : 

Red socks are not just a flash of color, but a way of emphasizing the articulation between leg and foot. This articulation is made possible here most importantly by the short pants and big, well crafted, foot-shaped shoes. Contrast long baggy american trousers practically hiding shrunken business-american shoes.

I work in the store next to that guys store :)
