post a commentThey do say immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Just maybe he became intrigued by your style and decided to try it, it is almost exactly the same. Just keep in mind that, just like in the movies, the originals are always better!!
The best imitation improves on the original, as is the case here.
twins separated at birth ;) i have to disagree with "a la femme" - i prefer the more casual version with sleeves pushed up and shirt outside pants. looks a tad bit more summery and just cooler.
less "something in the water" and more like he's just another Sartorialist reader who finds inspiration in others' stylings ;)
Beautiful..but I don't like the first guy´s spreads...
I love this! Amazing!
These colors work so well together!
I agree with Kelly (10:31 AM). You gotta admit, it's a nice color combo. ^^
Ouch! When you bite someones style you gotta throw in some of your own, but I guess he did by not tucking his shirt in... which I never like seeing with a jacket/sportcoat like that.
Wow, right down to the sunglasses...
not something in the water...probably your influence! :-)
Well, when a look works...

To those whon see the sartorialist's influence here: First of all, I don't think these Italian chaps need him to figure out how to dress. And second, because the new guy got his picture taken second, it doesn' t mean that he didn't already dress like this a month ago. Third: If there was someone's influence involved, it would be Mr. Cortina's, not Schuman.
Though the color combinations are the same I see them as completely different looks in the details. The linen jacket, untucked shirt, and baggier pants make the second look even more casual then the first if that was possible. That being said I prefer the original.
Just got to say I love this site. Changed my whole opinion of how a man should dress :)

Well, one of Time's Magazine Top 100 Design Influencers...
What more to say?
Well, it is the little things that make the original – one button jacket, tucked in shirt, button down shirt – somehow sexier to me.
This colour combo is not that profound. It's very much a summery look, so I'm not surprised to see it.
By the way, what is the man on the cell phone's name?
What an awesome opportunity to analyze how clothes are worn! Each gentleman's details speak volumes: Original guy's unbuttoned-but-still-down jacket cuffs, button-down collar, tucked shirt, cel phone say pretentious (esp. on a khaki jacket -- come on) uptight and either harried or self-important. Second dude's open shirt, spread collar (but still a hankie!) pushed-up sleeves, pinkie ring, wry smile say sexy, confident, interesting. I know who I'd rather meet.
I know the untucked shirt thing is overdone, but if he tucked at this point, would it really improve the look? I think the casual consistency here is more important, screw the blanket pronouncements of the fashion police.
How many people have worn white pants, a navy shirt and a khaki blazer? And sunglasses? In the Summer? Gee, why not!
George Cortina
Although, I have to say, Sart, that I think it's in slightly bad form to "out" people like this on an influential blog such as yours. The way it's presented here makes the "imitator" look as though he "stole" the idea from the "original" (which, let's face it, he probably did). But who's to say that the "original" didn't pick up his ensemble from another source? I would guess the imitator feels a bit embarrassed about being caught like this, which I think is unfortunate. After all, we all borrow freely in our sartorial practice with the understanding that our borrowings will tactfully go unreported. As U2 once sang, "every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief." I think that with this kind of creative petty theft, we should allow the crime go unacknowledged . . . in the name of good fashion, of course.

Yum. I'll have what they're drinking.
I love the slightly slouchier silhouette in the first photo, as well as the pushed up sleeves. It suits him well.
Either that orrrrr fashion revolves around The Sartorialist. I think its the 2nd.

for anon 3:26
the top photo was taken before the lower photo
the know ,first hand, that both of these people are fans of my blog but i don't think either looks at my blog for personal fashion ideas.
I do think it is possible that they look for work-related inspiration.
these is just one of those things that is "in the air"
I'm nonplussed to think anyone thinks any of this is somehow new. Both of these guys look good.
Rolls eyes.
If there's something in the water, I definitely want a drink!
They are dressed the same, yet both men have brilliant individuality. Letting that individuality show so well is one of the best things about good style.
Haha I saw George Cortina on the street today. The first things I saw were his ankles. I thought, "Who does that guy think he is, with his short pant legs? Oh wait...." I think he's the only one who can get away with it, if only because of you, Sart.
FYI to all who talk about the 'original' vs the 'imitator'...the photos are not necessarily posted in chronological order. After posing Cortina maybe Scot remembered the top photo from a few weeks back...?
The point of the comparisson is to see how two men style the similar looks...not who copied who.
I personbally prefer the top look...more fresh, less country club.
The top style looked a bit too much like a farmer for me (everything being so slouchy). I much preferred the way the white buttons pop on the shirt in the lower picture. If his sleeves were pushed up, it would have made the look perfect for me.
I agree with whomever said this is a great colour combination! With that being said, I really don't like how the top fellow put this outfit together at all. I detest spread collars (Elvis is the only human being able to carry this off! ;)) Paired with long hair, facial hair and sunglasses...ouch! He looks much too suave, and, that isn't a good thing.
I love how the gentleman in the photo below looks: preppy with an edge. I wish more men dressed like this!
How interesting, and they both look great.
This looks very J.Crew-esque. A brand, by-the-way, that is becoming more and more fashion forward. Their fall line goes live on the 24th, but I got a sneak peak. It's fabulous.
Now who's to say who copied who? Did the Egyptians copy the Mayan or Aztec Pyramids or the other way round?
Like both - each one has a different style of wearing giving a subtly different look.
When I worked at a men's clothing store I constantly paired navy and tan combinations together, it's beyond complimentary and fashion forward. And dark - light contrasts are so very fashion forward!
they are looking verry cool!
He looks wonderful every time he wears that shirt and those pair of sunglasses.
The main reason I love this blog is that I always find ways to reuse and recycle stuff that I already have.. and this color combination is a winner, and I'm gonna do it soon
You have been warned!
;-)
Those ones were fantastic !
Many thanks 2 DJ Krush for the headstyler! $@£
It looks so much better on the first man.
I love this, beige, blue and white really match !
