post a commentseen this look head to toe, in California since 2005... nice though
It's almost as though he planned the hat, skateboard and bag.
Fantastic look.
This is a perfect welcome back shot. Why we love this town- the Great Meeting Ground.
Great bag, love the combination of scater and glam.

i love this image, but from my own experience (i am not saying that can't do it) it is almost impossible to skateboard on sandals, really painful as well if you want to do tricks, but anyway he's adorable
Must be hard to skate with those sandals
I feel like he should be staring in a Spike Lee film! Classic.
he was holding his sons skateboard
Verrry stylin'. Welcome back, Scott!
p.s. maybe he has kicks (for the board) in the glam-bag. Just a thought.
This may be "just" a person on the street, right? There's no point in analyzing it in terms of fashion although he obviously isn't oblivious to it, or at least to style- he's trying to look good and he does.
It is a good look for him, being fit and slim. The gold bag and the shades certainly reinforce the fact that he is going for style, not just clothes thrown together. I like the double wallet chains, (especially since you can get some of those at your hardware store!), and the leather wristband. I think the armholes of the tank are rather on the large side; I like more the muscle-t cut, but to each his own. Jorge from W Palm Beach
I love love love that hat!
Nothing he has is individually impressive, but he does accessorize well. His whole outfit is rich and full as a result. Instead of relying on a single gimmick, it is a complete outfit. Not my look, personally, but the idea is the right one.
Ah, Basquiat is alive and well!
Very nice shot, love the 'rude boy' expression!
Really? Stylish? Am I missing something? I think he looks like a mess. Well, maybe not a mess but certainly not stylish or classic.
Yes for New York. I love everywhere you shoot. But I confess I feel the Ny spirit more than any. Its not always a class attack of designers and suits. New York is everyone.
Oh, yeah! It's all about the look and the tilt of the hat.
Oh, man! That's cutting it too close, if you know what I mean.
To hold a skateboard as one would once a boom-box; who doesn't like the cars, the cars that go boom?
You make everyone look like they just stepped out of a magazine!
Your subject has the moxie, but without the pose his appeal is hosed. Would loved to seen him with his son.
An excellent example of how looking good has nothing to do with wearing expensive stuff.
the gold bag and the sunglasses make the look for me.
Another accessory pile-on. But that said, the proportions and colors on him are gorgeous. He looks like a cool breeze off the ocean.
Am I missing something that others are seeing? I'm not spotting anything particularly stylish here. Just a guy schlepping around in a tank and cutoff jeans.
It's "The Attitude" that makes this work.
Thanks, Sart! Finally someone dressed for really hot weather.
To me, it's all about the length of the jeans, the hat, the wristbands. Wish we could see the sandals up close.
in two years, are you going to
photograph him wearing a goofy suit
and proclaim your influance?
A skateboard is not an accessory.
I love it - it's fit to be an NYC postcard.
I really think that the hat makes this outfit! It's just unusual enough to make the outfit stand out.
I WANT THAT GOLD BAG!!!
CLASSIC PRICELESS NYC!!!!
God, sometimes NYC is so annoying
RJT
Love the hat. Not so sure about the bag though...
i wish i was in nyc right now!
No movie here! this is it: NYC baby.
What's especially nice is the fact that this dude has got full-blown personal style. Nothing he has on is particularly exciting on it's own (the hat is excellent and I don't care for the bag but it is unusual) but the way he puts them together is ultra cool and it looks effortless.
He would fit right in with the crew of black surfers in Venice.
And I love his cut-through-the-bullshit stare.
For those of you who don't see the style in this, let me tell you what I see that makes me regard this guy as stylish: the roll brim of the hat and its jaunty angle; the shape of the sunnies; the necklace the sunnies are hanging from; the double strap wrist band; the yellow ring; the double wallet chain (each different); the gold lame bag (perfect!) all accessorizing what is basically cut-offs and a tank top. That's great personal style to me: not expensive, not trendy, not obvious, not forced, not overwrought. The skateboard and the kerchief (kid's shirt?) that is hanging out of his right pocket are bonus extras. The stare is the capper.
You still may not agree that he is stylish (chacun a son gout), but that's what I see when I look at this pic.
hat throws it off a little. nonetheless, the gold bag is a great touch with the bright blue and the skateboard. i also like the hoboish sandals.
He looks amazing! I'm loving the way he accessorized his outfit...the 'bracelet', the ring, the bag, the scarf thingie in his pocket, the hat and the necklace. This guy is Eddy Grant, a random surfer dude out of California, Basquiat(like another above poster mentioned), Caribbean rude bwoi all rolled in one. Rockin' photo, Scott. :]
I agree, very Basquiat!
Serge! Love the reference!
WE LIKE THE CARS THE CARS THAT GO BOOM!
thank god! i've been missing your coverage of really casual summer looks....
I love me in this pic ...I'm very simple and i Love colors without a particular match just texture is all i need Thanks for comments folks!...LOL
To me, simply put...this picture is a great pairing of different shades of blue and yellow/gold. From the chains and his bag, to the straw colour of his hat, matched with that bright top and jeans. The red scarf in his pocket adds that hit of red.
Looking at this guy makes me want to sit outside, even on the hottest smoggiest day, put on some tunes and have a nice long cool drink! This picture just says "summer in the city". I love it.
I really wish the skateboard was something else; like a canvas or actually a boombox. Skateboarding has such a rigorous authenticity, especially in New York, and in the picture it seems like a gimic; rather than contributing to the synergy of the outfit it severely attenuates its credibility.
As a portrait and outfit it works, now that I know the back story it works but I really wish you could have expressed this in pictures without back story.
Great blog though, I love it!
Its take a true sense of style to look like you put no thought into an outfit. He executes this flawlessly.....plus, he looks like someone you want to hang out with!
LOVE THIS LOOK!!!! Excellent.
