post a commentthis guy is really sharp. nice shot. i just like the overall impression, without being overly impressed with any one item. i dont think the shape of his glasses really do his face any favors. something smaller and more interesting would put this guy over the top. but he is really impressive.
On the contrary, I think those frames help complete his 'hip' late 60's jazz look. he looks like he belongs on stage with miles davis or art blakey! I wish i were that cool...
I dig this alot! This is what makes this blog so great, an example of how to look stylish on daily basis. I get the impression this is an everyday kind of guy. none of his garments look like they could be exhorbitantly expensive. real style for real people. the glasses i think are whimsical and great they add a little funk the whole look, which has a jazzy (the shoes, fedora) modish (piped polo, slim pants) feel. slick!
Love this look, proper cool.
I personally like the Cazal type glasses, gives a nice old school touch that fits in well with this look.
I dig it too. THIS is the New York I love.
Ohh love him. Very chic and has a kind of cool prof look, very Left Bank Paris! Very stylish. Also interesting it is a kind of no-season/all-season attire. The hat, the glasses, jacket, shoes, top, pants a perfect ensemble.
Sart, sometime you should check out Philadelphia's African American men-on-the-street for the finest summertime dressing this side of Munich. Dapper straw hats, pressed (but relaxed) linen shirts and shorts, and the right shoes make for some impressive sightings. Philly has great style.
seemingly effortless style.. I like when people just "fit" what they're wearing.
It's fine, I could do without seeing jokey glasses on anyone ever again, though.
Thelonious Monk redux! Soft pine-dark green over that blue with white piping. That's as bold and unexpected as a cluster chord, and every bit as cool.
sart, i think your blog has done more to advance the cause of wearing hats (and riding bicycles, probably) than any ad campaign or fashion show could possibly have achieved!
Now that is one cool guy. I agree about the shoes- they add that final finger snap!
everything is perfect. nothing else to say...
I think the word is "hep". Nicely done...I hope he plays some type of instrument to back up the look.
Lovely. Sexy. Smart. Interesting. Flattering. Perfect.
For me, what really makes this work is the contrast of textures--muted softness of the felt hat and the (velvet?) jacket and the shirt, glossy hardness of the patent leather shoes. Nicely done--I wish I could mix casual and elegant so well.
I agree with Zachary.
This is the kind of observation designers should make. So everyday in its simplicity, yet perfectly put toghether. Very well done sir!
Is he the singer from TV on the Radio? They're from Brooklyn. The style sense is consistent, and the charisma that comes through in this pic reminds me of that singer...
Now THAT'S New York. Superb!
How does he manage to make that polo shirt look so cool?
I agree with -b. He looks like he belongs on a Blue Note album cover. Very cool. He's the envy of the ball.
coolest cat in town? probably. Argh, I just love the dark hues he used. ooh, the pose. yes. Even the facial grooming is perfect, for him.
Sinc,
Tri
that's Beans! he's been an important (and always stylish) part of New York' progressive underground Hip Hop scene for over 10 years.
He's so cool I want to slap him for the unfairness of it all.
Don't know if he tried to dress this way on purpose, but it works for him.
mltt
I wish I could wear a hat like that. Very cool.
now that's not fashion, that's STYLE
Love the classy hat~!
anonymous 12:55.....ditto.
at first glance his style screamed (with joy and passion like a tvotr concert):
lead singer, tv on the radio!
whether we are both correct remains a mystery.
sleek
you have to stop and take a good look at him to actually appreciate how well put-together his outfit is.. I agree with the shoes..
I can't help but hear a soundtrack when I look at that photo
effortless yet exquisite
perfectly debonaire
it's beans, i used to work with him. Also always run into him around astor place.
It's not Tunde from TVOTR-but he has a similar funky elegance. Photos like this are exactly why I check out the Sartorialist every day!
Smooth like Kaopectate!
Some men may look cool...
Some men may look slick...
But one can always tell a
GentleMan
By
the shine
on his shoes
This is one
Very Stylish Guy
Pat' leather rocks!
Please tell me he was was holding a trumpet behind his back!? This guy is smokin or in the words of Beyonce (I think)....this guy is Crazy! Sexy! Cool! ;oP
great shot.
when you see a classy fella like this you often have to stop and imagine what type of life they live..
This is my men Michael Olu from London! When you are interessted in the essence of style then you just found at least one substance of it! He's the founder and director of the Kilimanjaro magazine. Check it out on www.kilimag.com
just the overall look is amazingly
effortless and the simplicity.... speaks volumes.
"fierce"...and loving it.
one word......"EFFORTLESS"
One of my all time favourites! The shiny shoes are an amazing contrast to the corduroy jacket. Glasses remind me of those Ezekiel glasses. He simply manages to look causal and chic at the same time. And not in that way of opening an extra button on your shirt... great!
oh wow this guy looks so well put together without any effort!
Wonderful shot. Every single piece is great, but together it's unbeatable. I especially love that hat.
