This Man Knows The Power Of The Well Chosen (colorful) Accessory
I love Cesare's ability to find "high impact"(but not necessarily expensive) accessories.
Colorful gloves (below) or a folkloric hat (above) add a subtle sense of humor to a seriously good suit.

post a commentI think maybe you're overanalyzing here Scott....!
This chap is well turned out but really his choices are generic.
Couldn't agree more with what you have written here Sart. However, I must say I fins more interesting the imact those gloves created than the folkcloric hat idea. Great anyways!
There is something of the 1930s Michelin man about Cesare.
Isn't it great when you find the same person twice and you see the same idea reinvented
i love the green hat :)
OK -- I've been doing a lot of "Ug"ing lately, but this guy gets it! It's not a costume, he's not a victim, but he's obviously got a great sense of personal style that shows his personality. In some of your recent photos I've been left asking "who's wearing who?"
Excellent shots. Excellent style. Take a chair Sart, you will NOT be going home this week.
That's an absolutely gorgeous suit. Wow! Classic and stylish. Grey chalk stripe really gets my blood flowing. Very well done. Thanks for posting these photos, Sart.
Ha! Fun. The burgundy suede gloves are genius, particularly with that aqueous blue shirt.
In the top pic, a more neutral necktie would make the olive of that felt hat pop a bit more. Is it a Homburg? Outstanding. I wonder if he actually wears it.
Both gentlemen have some pepper. I like that.
ironic that the pictures are so dark you can't see the colors...
The dotted tie in the firt picture loosks great. I wonder if it is knitted.
We completely agree!
Nice suits, he really seems to be comfortable in, in both of the pics.
The guy really seems to know who he is.
The gloves and the hat add that bit of humor and "Lässigkeit" ....
Great!
love the cut of his suit in the first photo
His overcoat in the second picture looks to me to be a beautiful deep blue which looks amazing with what he has on underneath. Overall, he's fantastic--my favorite guy post in a long while.
I was trying to find the "colorful accessory" in the first pic, then I read the text and realized that the hat was supposed to be it. Nice suit and all, but Christ on a bike, can we possibly get any *more* conservative and stuffy in here?
the suit is of impeccable quality, very nice shirt and tie combination, but - sorry - he lookes very much squeezed into the jacket. Nice photos, any way!
I dunno, but when I see a sweet chap like this, "conservative" is the last thing on my mind.
I love his hat. I'm not sure how to spell, but is it from Friuli (NE-most Italy)? Or Tyrolean? Swiss? It's a mountain hat, for sure.
He's lovely.

I know that Robert Venturi said "Less is a bore", but I tend to think that the Miesian approach of "less is more" works for the adult gentleman constructing a public persona.
Far from being stuffy, these snaps of Cesare's show how well chosen simple components work well to form a quiet, comfortable and subtle harmony. God seems to be in the details...

The guy looks like loads of fun and I love his suit on its own merits, it just looks too small for him.
NO NO NO: Sart is not over-analyzing; in fact Sart has not analyzed this enough (he probably has better things to do than listen to guys like me). Oddly, very few comments on this guy: is it a gender thing like more women viewing/commenting than men and they (women) are not interested in this shot. Fact: men wear suits too large, particularly at the shoulder (visualize Michael Jordan and those 747 wing-span suit jackets). Stipulated: the top button on this guy is about to pop. C'mon, he's a banker coming off a 3 hour lunch (who would trust a skinny banker?). This suit, however, speaks of bespoke, and he wears it well, very well: the shoulders are perfect. Query: why 2 button and narrow pants (a bit lengthy) when banker-boy has the DNA for double-breasted (nyet!). Views, please (but only from those who really, truly care about bankers).
Oh, perfect! It's jaunty but elegant!!
I love it when a man knows how to dress well, it revives my faith in the human kind :)
Hi

Tout Simplement la "classe"!!!!
Rien a dire......
Belles photo!!
bravo et Merci!

Yes this is quite good. The waist does seem tight in the older photo but that could be the hand in the pocket stance; it's hard to tell under the coat. In the new picture the jacket clearly fits quite well. I'm amazing anyone could call either look generic or boring - both have considerable verve, and I don't pretend I could pull off the hat or gloves!
I was in something of a swoon over how handsome he looks. But when I turned a more analytical eye on the photos, it became clear that his good looks are not a genetic gift. He made himself into a dashing fellow with his cheerful demeanor, good grooming, and stylish clothes.
Gentlemen, take note--there is a suave devil residing in every one of you, if only you allow him to shine! Even if you can't spend as much as this fellow, it is worth the effort to look your best.
Hey, you're No. 20 on the list of the World's most powerful blogs today in UK's Observer Magazine, Sartorialist! Yay well done.
A guy in a suit is a guy in a suit and there are squillions of them around.
He needs a larger blazer and a larger shirt.
He looks as if he's sucking in his girth and that is not stylish no matter which designer he happens to be wearing or how great the photographer is.
I think the hat is the best!!
Love the shots, but I would really like to see the whole look put together. Put those accessories on man!
People so often just miss it: the top photo is tailored suting par excellence! I love how the cut and the fabric of the suit is not stiff (not at all actually), and how he pulls the whole look together with a wonderfully classy tie and shirt. Look at the collar of that shirt and the fit around the chest and neck, beautiful. He could do a DB suit but I believe that would make him look too wide, unless maybe it was one of these new slim ones. But this suit right here maeks him look perfectly tailored and lean. Lovely.

This guy has had practice! The suit is becomes him. I'm only young and even I find myself rather attracted to this older gentleman...
You are spot on about this look Scott. Actually before seeing this photo I was attempting something very similar, but was shot down by a friend because he thought the combo of the shirt color (mine is almost identical) and the striped suit in grey (again, very close) was too much. This gentleman and you have proved me correct. Very nice to see. I look forward to your posts from India.
Energie 5:30 AM - you validate my views (10:33 PM). This is one of the better suits Sart has posted, and while this guy ain't no elf, he still comes off as "perfectly tailored." That is not easily achieved.
really Great!!
He has sense of how to wear...
but wish the trouser was shorter than now...
Anyway real great!
