Comments on "On the Street....Via Venezia, Milano"
hottie for a nottie
He's handsome, perfect like a roman statue, is he a model? I love those blue pants and that hair cut.
But I feel that for the summer and for the casual style he is wearing, less would be more. Ring, necklace, scarff, brown belt, sunglasses, black bag... I don't see why would he need to go so busy.
he is not a model but he is a model agent
wow he's very debonair
I don't see the place for the scarf. the rest works for me :D
overdressed or not, i still want to marry him,
but of course, i would prefer him undone...
i agree with gabriela, when you do a close up of the outfit, the scarf just seems as if it's one layer too many. perhaps, if the shorts were long pants instead, the scarf would've been a great addition.
perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the pendant, it is very simple chic in my opinion.
I also like how his sleeves are rolled up, it gives him a relaxed feeling.
I believe he could lose the belt though.
crisp. i love the proportions. not sure about the height the sleeves are rolled to tho...
i agree with the 'he could lose the belt' but it still works with it.
he looks like a model.... mmmm :)
I like this look but men who wear pendants ... ew! Maybe if we airbrushed that out, it would be perfection. Angela from Hong Kong.
I shouldn't like this look, but I do... the shorts are a great fit; from the fit of the shoulders, I wonder what the shirt looks like when the sleeves are unrolled. Always liked those Ray-Bans, but I will stick with the Wayfarers, which I already have! Hate the braided belt, even if houses as prestiged as Ermenegildo Zegna and John Varvatos are coming up with their versions. Great look, works on a slender guy. Jorge from W Palm Beach
love the whole feel of the ensemble.
very Jude Law in "The talanted mr. ripley".
Although i do think that he over-does it with the scarf, it dosn't seem necessary.
He looks like he belongs in a Patricia Highsmith novel. I think we should all aspire to looking like we belong in a Patricia Highsmith novel.
ahhhh i love guys in shorts, not too keen on this shoulders...
well, hot damn! he's a little overdone i think, but with genes that fabulous i'm willing to let him slide. he looks like he walked out of a magazine!
What a beautiful man.
Mama Mia!
how can i contact the sartorialist? any e-mail adress? thank you.
Dude looks weird. He has a skinny face, and huuuuge legs. His clothes look 5 sizes too small. Tailored is good, but the look he's rocking is not tailored. And who wears a scarf in the summer?
I like his head and the way he's posing .. but don't like the short, the skirt.
He reminds me a french actor : Benoit Magimel..
I'm with Angela from Hong Kong (anon 7:41) on the man-pendant. Unless it's a little necktie, which it looks like it may be, and is being worn ironically, in which case: hooray for ironic necktie pendant.
Okay. Tell me there's not a resemblance :)

GQ recently told us that the braided belt (as worn by this gentleman) is back in style. Hmm. I still have mine from the early 90s...proof that if you wait long enough, most things will come back into style.
I'm loving this picture.on the street? seriously? it looks like it was taken in a studio. great framing.
The proportion and fit on the shorts is amazing, it's difficult to find shorts that are this fitted. @741, I totally agree...lets just ignore the choker pendant
Very beautiful man. The clothes really serve to accent his body.
Normally not a fan of shaved bodies on men, but when it works, it works. He has the muscle and the tan to do it.
but it almost looks as though the pendant is a tie! is it?? because then it would all be ok with cleverness like that.
clothes . . what clothes?
I love it, except the scarf. Take away the scarf and he's perfect! Reminds me of pictures of my uncles in prep school in the 50s. I wish I could see his shoes.
great look! Gives me that "old time" feel.
he looks like he's on the runway
very well put together
...and very good looking indeed
On the street. I don't know... Looks like he's on the catwalk to me. The stap across his chest is bothering me. Maybe it's because it's black and his belt is brown. Other than that, I love (minus the distracting necklace, of course).
lose the scarf
Great outfit! Very 50s/60s. Great blog, perhaps my favorite.
This look is so unapologetically sexy. And I don't mind the scarf, to be honest.
Cute. Love the shorts, but the rolled up sleeves give the impression of a puffed sleeve! Roll it down a notch!
what is he wearing on his feet?
this is going to be my summer-outfit!
Not for me. He looks as if he was made of plastic. Not natural. Beautiful picture,though.
the hair, the color combination and the way he's rolled the sleeves is so errant blueblood 1950s prep-school boy. and those glasses... un very stylish homme.
here here, shoes are important with a look like this. sneakers or loafers make all the difference here (though I don't imagine he's wearing sneakers, he takes himself way too seriously for that)
I like a high rolled sleeve on a guy. The reason it looks puffy is because he started the roll at the width of the cuff, instead of halving it.
painfully hot!
The tan is the best accessory: perfect with the lavender on blue.
The shorts are perfect, the sleeves are rolled too high. Lose/change the belt. The choker is OK- it does look like a tie. The scarf I'm ambivalent about- the texture and colors of it work well with the shorts. I've a feeling if he fixed the sleeves and belt the scarf would work better.
This is my first post and it's fun but really, some of you are so critical it makes me self-conscious to walk down the street!
Cheers!
last summer I had that great Danish bloke with the blue jacket and no belt... This summer I have this gentleman. I am fine with it all in sum total. He is marvelous. Yes, his shoulders aren't the widest. And perhaps he didn't need the scarf. But I'm not comparing. What's more, having been out early in Milan dressed for the 'day' I wished I'd had a scarf. It's very much like my New York, and perhaps San Francisco - and the mornings can be as windy as hell.
reminds me of the talented mr. ripley.
Yes, he's very handsome. He reminds me of myself. But if you're going to wear the strap of your manbag across your chest like that, you'd better not have even the hint of moobs. He doesn't, obviously. I don't either. The scarf makes no sense, however. And the way the sleeves are rolled up, so close to the shoulders, is suspect as well.
i just love those shirt cuffs..
and i think he pulls off his whole look really well.
Sweet shots, as usual !
Greets, Clément Pascal.
Absafuckinglutelyfantastic.
Question, though: is his watch strap black? I can deal with his bag not matching his belt, but is it wrong to have a brown belt with a black strap?
Also, I think it's almost definately a tie-shaped necklace. Love to know where it's from, love to get a detail/closeup shot.
Thank you Sartorialist!
I whish I could roll my sleves the same way but my forearm does not allow me (used to lift weights when younger)... The combination is great, the scarf in the tropic would be too much.
Lovely! I do think that it is not a look that can work on any size proportions, the fact that he is pretty thin makes the outfit look coherent...I actually love the necklace, the scarf is a gift that I gave him, I am very happy that he is wearing it actually...
The shorts are the perfect length. It is so difficult to find shorts that fit. They're either too long or too short, or the leg is too wide.
who would have thought that "normal" people actually dressed like this? then again, he's not in america, so all bets are off. he looks great!
well dressed gent.
Soooooo gorg. Yes I'd like to see what he is wearing on his feet. I love the scarf but I think the necklace really did it for me. Wonderful!
The David with clothes on? Nice composition!
This says "I am wearing this just so you can think of me naked."
Also, my heart, melting.
Yummy...
black bag's thing just cut it...everything is so light and pale, and then it comes that black thing! what about red palette or biege...
the rest is FAB!
I don't think I'll ever understand the summer scarf.
He is a very pretty boy. It is a look that not many men could pull off.
Great haircut, and classic sunglasses and wristwatch.
I have no problem at all with the woven belt.
I wish I could see more of him. Looks like he's quite in shape. Great legs!
Oh--his outfit's okay, but not why I would notice him walking down the street.
proof that mixing leathers isn't a cardinal sin.
OMG! Sart, who is this??????
I'm curious about the footwear. Do you have snapshots?
Really lovely. I'm especially taken with the way he's rolled his sleeves.
I love the shorts and how put together he looks. But somehow he still pulls off classy and sleazy at once. He could lose the pendant and the scarf, and might look a bit more polished.
Inspiration.
I hope i sometimes dress like this.
great pictures / have a nice day
Jeez. Is he real? I want.
I like the the east coast, old money feel of this outfit. Like he is getting ready to take a ride on his yacht.
The scarf is throwing me off, however. As are his hairless arms, (and it seems) legs.
A little toooooooooo perfect...and he knows it. I've been wearing identical sunglasses for years. Now I'll have to put them away. I don't want to be trendy.
Wow.
Every time I look at his picture I blush.
Love the clubmasters :D
saying an outfit is "too perfect" is like saying a roller coaster is "too safe" I would take perfection over what we see all to often.
A bit too mannequin for me. Maybe if I could see his eyes it would help.
How to get shorts that fit this nicely? Buy trousers that fit nicely, have them hemmed just above the knee. Voila.
He's cute, I would have left out the scarf.
But anyway I loove those shorts on him.

you know what catches my attention the most about this outfit, and the photograph, is the symmetry. Seems like something from Calvin Klein, with his chose palette of color. But I love the symmetry. It grabs your attention.
SART PLEASE PLEASE GO TO AL BAZAR SINCE YOUR IN MILAN AND GET A BUNCH OF SHOTS OF LINO AND THE OTHER GUYS WHO WORK THERE. NO ONE CAN COME CLOSE TO THEIR STYLE THANKS
Why does fashion seem to demand that guys dress for cold weather? I love that this ensemble (sans scarf) could actually be worn outside on a hot day... as in summer!
the satchel strap is black, as is the watch band. But the belt is brown. no-no to me.
If the shirt is tucked in, the second button should be buttoned. Nice chest though.
Pendants are always a big fat no.
Love the shades, perfect.
I wish I could see the shoes. They make or break the outfit.
checking out your photos always is a bit like watching beverly hills 90210 when i was 14. it makes me want to trade my life with the people in the photo.
Anyone know where to find shorts like that in London?
Gosh he is gorgeous!
i left this comment a few days ago and don't see it above, so i will leave it again...
does anyone know where i can fine inexpensive slim fit shorts like the ones shown in the photo?
thanks!
-drew
gorgeus!!!!!!!!!!!!
any other snaphots of this dressed
David??
i would love to see his shoes & eyes!
love the rolled up sleeves showing off the biceps. would love to have that scarf.
I agree with mrronfeld, "too perfect" isn't really a valid criticism- wouldn't you all like- I mean don't you all enjoy- putting together a "perfect" outfit?
I agree with the comment above noting the resemblance with Jude Law's wardrobe in The Talented Mr. Ripley and think it's perfect the way it is. The scarf look like a lightweight linen, the pendant looks like a tie which is like a wink of the eye with his spread collar. Definitely an outfit the average American man could not pull off.
Over-done? Under-done? Either way, it is really a matter of personal taste and attitude - however, i do feel that, here in the States, the casual way of dressing is overly-popular and the whole roll-out-of-bed looks can get a little blah - So, it is really refreshing to see such an attention-to-details approach to sportswear. Speaking of the scarf, aren't we missing out the fact how its softness wonderfully contrasts the crispiness of the outfit and how beautiful the print and its colors are accommodating the entire ensemble? This outfit can totally serve as a graphic design inspiration for the way it plays w/ the contrasts while maintaining the unity in colors and lines.

I think this is reaching for everyday where. While I like to be eccentric, the sleeves/scarf combo appears to be trying to hard. Otherwise i love the shorts and the hairdo, although we could get him some new shades. One man's opinion...
just got back deejaying a fashion show in miami and saw many dudes wearing scarfs...wassup? Most stated that they were worn for fashion and one honest guy stated...that he was coming from the movies and it was cold inside and the scarf was perfecto!!!
where did he get those sunglasses from i love them
i wnt to be in europe...so you can take picures of me :)
Probably a bike racer with those big leg muscles and lean upper body. An American youngster would have the reverse, pumping iron upper body and twiggy legs.
Me and my boys live to ride bikes here in Seattle.
This boy's beauty and healthiness are good. I don't like seeing the anorexic male junkie look some people think is attractive.
dont like him
I know lots of people notice that pendants.I just wonder,isn't that pendants made him different from other people? without it,doesn't he look just like other people?
Everything about this is SEXY! From the guy to the look, perfecto!!!

Oh my ! A sexy version of Benoît Magimel...
(Could the shirt be worn in any better way than this ?)
Take away the scarf and braided belt (I just don't like them) and button that shirt up maybe one more time, and I would really like this. Love the shirt, pants, and sunglasses anyway.
LOVE*
He was spotted on the street?
Looks like from a runway, outfit, attitude and all :)
I don't mind the scarf, but I'm less excited by the necklace, at least in combination. Perhaps if it had another inch or so on it, as is it looks a little . . . uptight.
The sunglasses are discontinued rayban's, not the clubmasters, they were model 5020 I believe. Ronsir makes an approximation, the revelation.
this guy is really hot. I love the shorts, the hairless calves concern me slightly though.
where did he find shorts that fit so perfectly? are they tailored? is that possible?
Sexy and classy at the same time. Perfect.
i'm having difficulty with the arm cuff thing and personally i feel that there is not enough contrast between the tone of the shirt and tone of the shorts - the shorts could be a dark brown like the belt (if the shorts were darker i would pass the cuffs). leave the scarf at home next time. he has good legs from what i can see - no wonder he is in shorts! i'm interested to see the footwear that went with this.
Hot! Very Newport nonchalant. I would just lose the scarf.
Looks as dapper as ever - this gent seems to have an innate sense of style, and so effortless!
It's a strong look for someone so goddamned pwetty!
almost looks like actor Alexander Skarsgard... think the scarf is ok, it actually puts the outfit a little over the top - it pushes it into fashion; something noticeable.
I think I just swooned.
The hair!
It does seem a little fem and fussy to me, but he's a total fox and wears it well.
I love his strong facial features.
I'd prefer the sleeves rolled up to only 3/4 this is a bit, "check out my arms" for my taste.
I like the summer scarf thing.
It screams summer excess.
lovely
The pendant is indeed a necktie. He always wears it. And he's from London.
I love the rolled-up sleeves. It seems like not a lot of men do that and I think it is such a smart thing to do. It just goes to show the variety of looks that one can do with a long-sleeved shirt.
um cuuutie! thinking really hard on the outfit though. very handsome- the scarf nice touch. rolled up sleeves perfectly golden skin and i like the pendant- its kitschy almost unexpected on someone this classic. check plus...
He looks like a hot Barry Pepper
Too affected!
okay, the outfit is perfect but it's just...TOO good...i can imagine him spending hours in front of the mirror...and that really puts me off!!! these metromen are just so ridiculous.
Really interesting man...
I want him on my desk, and I mean NOW!
too many horny people leave comments, he looks very put together.
I'm ne to the Sartorialist and have seen this guy on here about 2 or 3 times so far. And each time he is VERY FLY, he(amongst others) inspired me to switch the swag up.
i agree with the scarf comment and the round sunnies but hello sailor!!! im a sucker for azure..this is one i of my favourite looks that i take out on sunny days... i think id still trip over myself if i was back home in italy.. oh my lord!!!!
It seems he never removes the pendant nor the sunglasses. He's got them on here too, in a Guardian newspaper article about short shorts...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/aug/01/fashion
I think it's a great look, if rather preppy. But that focus on bringing it all together has an edge; it works.
This is on the street? I want to live there!! His style is awesome. The Fedoras add that one sexy touch that every boy needs.
