post a commenthe's lucky he has great legs to show off with the shorts!! I really love the shoes and the white armband things. anybody know what kind of bag that is? it rocks!
great look! love the white straps on the elbows and the hot pants on these hot legs.
wish i would dare to wear such short shorts ;-)
definetely something i may try out, soon.
still: i wonder if it's warm enough for such shorts isn't it too hot for these hi-top sneakers ... ?
Top photo: Did I wear this in the 80's? I like the shoes and the girl is lovely but I'm not digging the pants for some reason.
Oh, I dunno - I think it's just too, too, too . . . . . over the top.
We're wondering how the top look would work on a damsel less blessed with height? It's likely to stir a Nights of Arabia stampede of camels at the oasis. On this lovely muse, it works. The bottom look? Hmmm. It's a bit too Vanilla Ice crossing Fifth Avenue. The only thing missing? A mullet perhaps.
I'm into the black/white combo for Spring. First!
Reminds me of those ladies that change their shoes before they enter the office...
cute.
(cuter if it was a Sunday afternoon)
WOW. I love it. I like the glare from the cab (a clean one, at that) against the black outfit, and the fact that everyone in the foreground is wearing rather dark colors to make it pop. Secondly, great outfit. He has long lean legs to pull off the look- I would never wear high-tops and certainly not in zebra-on-acid stripe, but it works on him. Dress shirt with elastic sleeve straps (very Helmut Lang), workout shorts and high-tops, concluded with a rather dressy leather briefcase. Perhaps it is because everything fits him so well that the ensemble works. Thanks for a wonderful picture! Jorge from W Palm Beach
He's rocking the high tops. Flash kicks such as those deserve to be worn with socks. Otherwise his feet will trash the insides of the shoes over time.
Okay...the girl looks great, and I'm obsessed with the guy because he has on supras that nobody can find-with a YSl bag and short shorts...I never see these people on the street!
oh my. at first i thought, "eh...that's a plain picture." BUT, i'm glad i zoomed in b/c the whole thing (bag, shoes, jacket, toned les, white x straps on elbows) almost makes me laugh but then i find myself surprisingly impressed.
thx for sharing this!
B&W...always a winner. Not too big on men shaving their legs though.
The lovely lady totally rocks the high waist pants. Strange proportions, but work very well on her. The second one is just hideous: I hate what this person is wearing, with passion.
Love the Van Cleef & Arples building in the background!
The wheels of the car and the bands on his sleeves add so much extra to the photo!
Oh!and she looks so sweet in those harem pants!A great smile!
that guy really wants to wake me up
before you go go.
I want to be in Manhattan! Black and white almost always looks good....and I love the contrast photos, dressier/casual, female/male, front/back.
I love the short running look with the hightops! Perfect for the spring
nice legs. hate shaved legs in men though. anyway, I think he wants to get noticed and he manages to do it ok.
Love the first shot. Black and white always looks good and I love the proportions here. The high-waisted trousers are perfect with the white tank and the cropped trouser leg shows off her shoes and makes the entire ensemble light for Spring.
wow. the high-waisted pants, somehow, really do look quite smashing on the woman.
as for the man, he sure has a great set of legs. (rawr). and i guess it helps that van cleef & arpels is in the background, too. *swoons*
Now that is a fine pair of legs! The outfit's good but it's the legs that get my juices flowing.....
Check it out! Styling and sportif. Mierrrde, he looks good!
The legs are the best part of the ensemble. But the outfit is good, too.
She looks so sweet!
And he as amazing legs!
I have to say it too....
Hes got some damn awesome legs!!
What's the deal with men shaving their legs? It is very unapplealing. Please stop it guys.
fabulous legs on Fifth Avenue!
Shaved legs. Man. Not a very good look. Since when is hair the enemy? Come on. It looks funny to say the least.
not feeling his shorts or his shoes. those are the supra sky top shoes and they are the worst thing to happen to skateboarding since lupe fiasco.
just one mans opinion.
I LOVE B&W for spring (or anytime really)!
He's intriguing: the white armband straps (what are they?); the shorts and hi-tops, and the YSL Muse...a truly unique combination.
She's charming-- how can anyone not find her so when she's able to rock those harem pants with such effortless style?
Not feeling this gentleman's look-- it all comes off too contrived and too self-conscious.
--PLO
Dudes got some chopsticks. He's "the perfect guy" He's got it all, so it seems. The jacket reminds me of some stuff Helmut Lang did when he first joined Prada group a ways back. His own label of course. McQueenish now maybe. I know somebody knows, and I must know, so, let me know. What do you mean No. HA!
i just bought the exact pants that that women is wearing and i was debating whether or not i should keep them. they're so hard to wear, and i have to wear them with heels because i'm very petite and they look goofy otherwise. this has inspired me to experiment with them a little more. any other suggestions for how to rock these pants would be much appreciated!!
i want his legs!!!!!!
fab pictures.
K
limited edition supras sold out everywhere.... which he is rocking... underneath perfectly toned and shaved legs, cuffed shorts.... it all seems a little intensively groomed and over the top to me. The garnish on-top of it all is the pose (as if he knows who was behind him at the moment!)
I mean... I would never want to make personality assessments due to clothes alone, but we have quite a character here...
Nice photos!
His outfit is trying way too hard ... I'm all for creativity in one's wardrobe, but short-shorts, waxed legs, stripey high-tops, three-quarter-length sleeves, and what appears to be a glacé-finish leather manbag just doesn't cut it for a guy at midday in midtown Manhattan ...
The second look is very gay-club-camp. Meh.
Shaved legs. Hmmmmm
Not a very good look.
Unless he has a medical condition that necessitates the use of nair. In which case, i take my comment back.
The gentleman's shorts are a wee bit tight.
Also, the YSL bag is not unisex from what I know. Of course, there is nothing wrong with appropriating elements from the opposite sex, but it just doesn't look right. Especially combined with tight tight hot pants and those shoes, for which I have no words to describe.
Ladies, what do you think about shaved legs on a man?
Attractive or repulsive?
Dislike the attitude of the bottom photo, intensely. Those shoes are atrocious and especially untied. Shaved legs on men is a sin.
Fantastic legs. Wow.
I like the high waisted pants, but I have to say this is one look that I think would have been better with flats.
I think the girl looks like a shapeless mess. The colours are nice (B&W: not hard to coordinate) but where are her legs in those things?? No calves, no curves, no nothing, just a waistline at the height my grandmother enjoys, with no torso left above the belt. Not a fan.
Great legs there but the whole thing looks too calculated and not natural enough to be pulled off. strategically done hair, the nice bag, the armbands....too much going on here.
Ah, the wonder that is high waisted pants on women...can make the most beautiful butt in the world look just awful. It's amazing, considering just how unflattering they are, that they still exist.
Love the black and white. I like the white straps on the man's shirt...not really sold on the rest.
I am definately not feeling this guy's look. Short shorts and high tops without socks...that hasn't looked good since Magic Johnson wore that look with tube socks while winning NBA titles in the 80s! Next time, he should think about sporting the sneaks with some jeans and the shorts with sandals, loafers, low cut sneaks, etc.
Many serious athletes, such as cyclists, often shave their legs. Those hot legs probably represent long hours of intense athletic activity. Love the look and the legs, but not the shoes.
I simply adore the woman's high-waisted pants...great look! But um, that guy has better legs than I do! His sneakers are dope however, do not deserve to be paired with some shorts like that.
the second photo is definitely in my top ten Sart shots. The look is great, and that NY corner made me swoon. Not to mention, the to die for pants in shot number one. Thanks for making my day!
RE: Garth "Ah, the wonder that is high waisted pants on women...can make the most beautiful butt in the world look just awful."
....I wasn't aware that the sole purpose of fashion is to make one's butt look good. If this were true, every woman in the world would wear nothing but lululemon pants.
I'm not always fond of this style of pants either, but I think this woman rocks them. They're just baggy enough that they make a statement without swallowing her whole. I also love the subtle ruffles on the shirt...together with the bare ankles and shoulders, they keep the look very feminine and pretty. I am inspired!!
He is so incredibly sexy.
His outfit is so fun. The sunglasses, turned up collar, armbands (Are those worn over the shirt or sewn to it?), shorts, perfectly fitted shorts with wide cuffs, watch and bracelet combo, and those ridiculous shoes. The groomed shaved legs and facial stubble are a necessary components.
He looks great.
My only tiny wish is that the rings on the bag were square.
the bag is a YSL bag
The top she is wearing is "small" and nicely balances the volume of the pants below. I really love how she wears the whole outfit with such ease.
Competitive cyclists and swimmers will sometimes shave their legs so as to reduce drag. His legs do look like those of a serious athlete. In any case, if I were walking behind him, I would certainly enjoy the view afforded by those shorts. I'm not so keen on the loose tops of those shoes. Imagine how much better he would look with something fitted to the leg.
that first photo, SO GORGEOUS, what a chic look, such a glamorous but casual feel. She is a model, in my eyes, i wanna look like her, and be happy in Manhattan on a sunny day....
RE: Joy
While making the female butt look good is not the sole focus of all fashion, making it look vast and shapeless isn't either.
I am not old enough to remember what the `80 looked like, but without any period reference in my head, I see a hot guy in a very sporty and sexy outfit. For those who are dishing all the criticism above, I guess fashion really is about reminiscence.
Black and white ... not feeling it. I'd be so much happier if it were black and pale yellow.
the shoes are supra available at pickyourshoes.com if you want to put up with the most hair-tearing-out level of customer service you can imagine and obv the bag is YSL. great combo on this fine antelope of a gay.
I hate guys who have better legs than I :)
Ok, the possibility of him being a serious athlete aside and my indiference to shaved legs for men in such a case, i still do not like this getup. Looks a little, I mean, way over the top, contrived, and the shorts are too short for his apparent circumstance.
i was just in new york city this week! perhaps i missed you? lol
I enjoy the woman's pants...not to fond of the man's ensemble, however.
Oooooh a man purse!! Saw alot of those in Tokyo!
The woman is a fashion editor at W...of course she looks great!!!
What a great smile on the lady on top. B & W perfection.
A little harsh are we Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous in between Reanna and Specialward's comment? There's nothing messy about this girl. I see plenty of torso above the belt and fyi, calves appear on the backside of one's legs and this is a full frontal shot, so not quite sure how you know this one's. That complexion is fabulous and what a sweet smile.
Love the guy, love his shaved legs. love the tight shorts. i'm old enough to remember when men wore tight jeans (the early 70s) and you could see their butts - cute, high butts. then all that hip hop baggy stuff took over and i lost my view of those cute butts. this guy brings it back. more! more!
Shorts - yes.
Legs - yes.
Shoes - NO.
Needs sleek track shoes, or battered shaggin-in-the-sand loafers.
Top image: cute.
Bottom image: WOW! Find me some smelling salts because I feel faint. I love NY!
Great ensemble! Striking photo.
Who makes her pants? They are perfect.
I just bought a pair of vintage pants (two days ago!!) that are exactly the same as the ones that girl is wearing. My boyfriend thinks they're 'dorky'. The Sartorialist doesn't. Guess who's opinion I'm going to go with?
the girl looks great!!
the legs looks awesome
Just wondering, if the "Walk" signal (walking man) is lit, why is no one crossing the sidewalk?
I cannot wait to go to New York.
Wow, I've never heard of men with shaved legs. Swedish men are hairy.
I love her high waist pants! I actually have a pair very much alike in grey.
No No No ....
I cannot take such fabulous legs on a man.
The ensemble gets a resounding no, jealous beast that I am.
... but love the elastic sleeve bands.
I love what she's wearing - very 80s but in a good way. Looks very comfortable and stylish.
I'm curious what he looks like from the front! Also, in response to the first comment, I think the bag is a Phillip Lim tote.
is it me or does he have a YSL muse bag..????
I LOVE her pants! That's the kind of silhouette I feel really good in. If you are tall with a small waist but wider hips, this is such a good look--it's flattering and very comfortable! She looks lovely.
I think the photo of the woman wearing the pants would rarely work on most women -maybe a model. I think it works on her because she has this genuine smile, indie, happy go lucky look to her.
Love shoes any socks
were are you scott? i miss you and your great pohots...!
have a nice day

The man's photo is a bit of gay porn isn't it? I jhave nothing against that because he does have great legs and I have immense respect for anyone who can be so confident just walking the streets in that kind of look. Look at his stance, he stands like he rules the place, and he didn't even know that Sart was taking the picture-just the way he is. That's great.

i have the same sneakers..and i'm pretty sure i wear the same outfit with them...but i'm a woman. either way, WORK THEM. amazing taste.
It takes great confidence and not to mention great legs to wear short shorts on the streets... You'll have to pay me a billion bucks to wear one... Love the look! But the shoes... hmmm... it added something waaay beyond expected, so I liked it... and did I mention about the legs?
durrty
Yaye for loose pants - I just bought a pair myself for the summer, and they're so comfortable!
Nice kicks on the guy, and nice legs too. Those two things are really helping him pull off the rather short shorts. ;)
I LOVE her pants. she looks great. does anyone know who makes a similar pair??
i want her pants!!
I am not 100% positive. But after looking at Fall/Winter 2008/09 YSL, it almost looks like a pair from YSL. Or it may be an influenced brand from the YSL collection.
for all the critics on this comment list and others, i wonder what you guys look like? these people in the pictures look great.
on the top photo, anyone knows where the trousers are from? they're amazing.. thanks!
The man bag really looks like a bag that I have, the Celine Nautil bag.
Yowza!! Nice legs!
That guy is hot!
I wanna see the front of mr. shorts !
Am pretty sure I sat across the aisle from him on the subway this morning. Same bag, same jacket, same legs. Hair is bleached Champagne blond now (a very good dye job, actually). Actually an incredibly handsome guy but WAY too much foundation and powder. (I swear it, though magnificently applied.) He got off the B train at 34th Street.
I think everything he has on is hott...The Supra Kamakazi's are amazing...The Bag...is so hott...and the look and the confidence he portraits with his sexy shorts and his lovely legs! It is a well executed look!
Love Supra footwear!
