Comments on "On the Street......Mixed Plaids, Sydney"
Brilliant: makes him laugh; makes me laugh too.
Too nerdy for my taste...
Optical density. Good. Australia.
At first glance I wasn't sure, but the shirt and the sport coat go so nicely together.
The hat is also pretty cool too.
Immmmmelda. Love the polka dot bottoms and that jacket looks fab. Not really brave enough myself to try mixed prints like this, but it looks so amazing!
i love the mac as the accessory, a different look from the cigarettes most of the Europeans have in your pictures
Cute photo. Personality really shines through. Strong glasses, cute hat.
While I like the fact that the colours were kept to a minimum to make way for the clash of patterns, I am left boogly-eyed. I prefer simplicity.
oh imelda, you have my heart forever
<3
well,well...
What a fucking geek dandy !
I love the mixed prints of the shirt and coat. And then dapper kid mentioned the polka dot pants. I probably prefer it without the polka dot pants. Nevertheless a very bold outfit to wear.
This is so so cute!
Great outfit but I think he's giving us "the finger"...
This is so cooolll!!
this is so precious!
I want to be friends with this little adorable man.
Mixed prince - but a travesty without the shoes. I'm just sayin, is all.
Imelda! Fabulous plaid mix, and everything you could want in a shoe blogger.
Does it mean something...the position of his fingers? Hmm... The clothes are a bit too busy for me, but the man is adorable!
On second thought, the addition of the hat, glasses and iMac...ironically seem to make it cuter. Of course, the brilliant smile makes up for everything!
Did he speak to you or just laugh! Curious character!
I want to be friends with him. I bet we would laugh lots and have a lot of fun.
bravo to this man! this ensemble makes him so squeezable!
i wouldn't doubt that imelda is giving us the finger.
what a cutie... i love him.
Love those nerds! I'm a geek girl now!
I would NEVER try this but it looks good on him. Perhaps too good to the point of the clothes wearing the person? How many of you (without going back to the picture) can you recall, from memory, anything about the subject?
love the whole ensemble especially the smile- best accesory!
Really alive looking. So energetic and positive. A credit to Aussies everywhere..
He pulls this off well! I like the way his bold spectacle frames define his face and of course he has a very infectious smile.
ps - Sart, if you have time please write about some of your impressions of Australia so far, i for one would be very interested.
I don't think that anyone but this man could pull this off, but I adore it, and how gorgeous is his smile? Definately the best fashion accessory.

This may be my favorite picture I've ever seen on this site.
I love how happy he looks. I think that a great smile can make any outfit all the best.

Applause for his courage to pull off such an complicated look. He's the Sydney equivalent of a London Pearly King.
That's Imelda Matt and he's fantastic as can be. Love him - this shot is terrific. Really captures his animated personality.
He has perfected geeky cool.
He looks fantastic.
Would you buy a used kangaroo from this man? Too much plaid. Each piece on its own would be good. Together, they do not work.
(I used to have that shirt (Lands End, c. 1988) before I donated it to charity.)
What can I say, other than geek chic? You need a lot of personality to pull this off, and he does it brilliantly.
omg stanford blatch is real!
please will someone explain to those of us stuck in the northern hemisphere who or what is 'imelda'??
Too much mixed prints, but the guy is so cute, with lots of "joie de vivre"! And the mac, too!
His best accessory is his smile
OMG it's Imelda Matt!!!!!!!!
He's such a fantastic person, I so love him and his smile!!!!!!!!!
I think this shot really shows a bit of his amazing personality!!!
Well, I'm in the northern hemisphere and I know Imelda Matt, the best editor of the best shoes blog.
epitome of fabulous.
Love the plaid!
If I saw this geek on the streets I'd have to immediately chat him up. How could you not? I'd want an excuse and an opportunity to look closely at what he's wearing. I believe I'd determine that he's a self-made geek and that's perfectly fine. True or self-made, either way is quite chic.
The print"DoT-MiX" is really interesting, like it...

The nerd is totally right but the Mac is so hyped it sickening..
Brillant !
I love the contrasting plaids!

Dapper dresser, and what a gorgeous smile!
It's the brilliant and fabulous Imelda Matt!
Hi the Despotic Queen!
So happy to see you here :-)
You look awesome as always!
xx
i went to sydney about a couple of weeks ago and found that no one really dresses up there to go anywhere, but this man is awesome!
Love the plaids, the smile everything :)
Normally hate a mixing of plaids but... this one works!
Imelda Matt for the win.
Yeah, my dear friend Imelda Matt is stunning! Bravo to the Despot! Wonder if he wears his Max Kibardin's glitzy derbies...
my goodness, he couldn't be more adorable
Ah, Imelda! How does he pull it off? Love it! :) Plus, love the Airbook! :)
xx
some soft advertising for apple!
He's got the same kind of moxie as austen powers.
so that's Imelda. Gosh x
Nice pic and great style !!!
I love the play on plaids + its brought together by the frame less glasses. Also makes me want to ask...is this an add for apple?
Great look. I've been trying to find a good way to mix plaids with my own stuff for awhile now, but no luck yet.
Is anyone aware of a place where I could purchase a similar hat to his online?
I think it's pretty obvious that Scott is on the take from Apple. Did they give you a free Macbook for that? I suppose I would have done it do... :(
Imelda is http://www.imelda.com.au/well_shod_well_imformed/
A youthful combination of traditionally heavy plaids coupled with an adorable smile, Priceless!!
Ridiculously cool. LOVE!
This guy is a lot of fun!!! most of all i love his huge smile...im sure he is SO excited to be snapped by The Sartorialist!!
awesome mix of plaids!
Lovely.
His personality does shine through. :)
Does anyone know who the designer of his jacket is? I am on the hunt for it now!
He's missing a bowtie !!! (and perhaps a plain accessory such as a pocket square ;))
On another note, we can feel that his outfit embraces his personality. Thumbs up !
Yay Matt!
Looking as awesome as ever!
Oh Despotic Queen! You are too cool. <3
I love this!
imelda!!! probably blogging live from outside a show. i love his checkered look!
This man looks fab!
I think it's great the different tipe of plaids!!!
Me encanta la combinación de cuadros!!!
Best!
Esmoquin room
you have such a good eye :-) good on you.
matt! way to go!
see imelda in all his glory:
http://www.imelda.com.au/well_shod_well_imformed/
So my dad was ahead of his time. He loves to mix plaids, and when I would question his choices he would say, with an injured tone, "but they both have blue in them." Of course, his style runs more toward Archie Bunker meets John Goodman on Roseanne.
Wow its my friend Matt. Love his look like always. Go Imelda!
I'm not sure of the protocol of commenting on one's own Sartorialist but I wanted to say thank everyone for their comments. I also wanted to say the jacket is vintage and was bought in Sydney, the pants a ginham check not polka dot - although I kinda wish they were.
The Mac Book, I was actually updating a blog post while I was racing between shows. The rest of the questions I'll answer on my blog.
From his hat to his pants, every items make me smile :) so cool so humorous. That's the thing I want to have. thanx.
thats how eras are facing!
This look is hardly nerdy. I would say it's a wonderfully adventurous flip of on the preppy, but it maintains the same ethic of wearability..
If this could be said, it reminds me of the mail version of something in their black fleece fall collection:
http://www.brooksbrothers.com/BB_BlackFleeceProduct.process?IWAction=Load&Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=966&CurSeq=0&topParent=womenlooks
What a bloody legend!
Sorry, but I find nothing appealing about this at all. It's nerdy as all get out, and honestly, pretty ugly. Kudos to the guy for daring, but seriously, this looks, frankly, pretty ridiculous.
lovely, I meant "male", not the postal service.
Once you go back, you never go back.
I like the mix of plaids and dots, with the nerdy glasses. But, why do his head and hands look gigantic? Is this photo digitally altered? Weird.
This one is my favorite!
Best pictures I have seen in awhile.
i love imelda! haha and carrying his apple open. ahhh love it.
Met the d'vine Imelda Matt backstage- what a sweet treasure AND a dresser he is! This suits him perfectly and that is what matters no?
I like the outfit, but the bag is really awfull! In my opinion the bag is a part of the outfit, and here the bag ruins the outfit! It is not difficult to get a nice cheap pc-bag!
It takes guts and a lot of confidence to pull off so many prints at once, and he's doing an AMAZING job at it.
I can only assume he's Googling sartorialist.com to see if it's for real.
Matt Rocks,
I used have some lovely check Harry Thurston shorts just like that jacket, those were the days :~(
i love his style and smile!but i dislike apple lol.
I don't mind this - he looks like a cartoon character. Fun.
All hail the Queen of Despotic shoes!! Imelda! Imelda! Imelda!
Love it Matt. There is nothing worse that the unadventurous. Now you've been Sart'ed world domination is almost a foregone conclusion.
imelda matt is fabulous, and has rapidly become an authority on fashion here in Australia in the blogosphere.
And as you can imagine, is pissing off the long lead media to no end.
Many stinging comments flying about of his up to the second postings of the shows this week. Of course, we're all loving the controversy.
Très symathique!
Hi Imelda Matt! Like the old saying goes, "you're never fully dressed without a smile." Good one!
i love it...not for me but def for him.
Go Matt :D
this guy is awesome!
hehe he's awesome!!!
Love only the Mac!
Yes!!!!
I'd like a mini polka-dot on the shirt even though I couldn't pull it all off. I wish they made pants like that with a looser fit. More oversized than slouchy/baggy.
Honky Tonks!!!!
geek chic! love the shot :)
Anon1:08 - he's named Imelda after Imelda Marcos. Google her.
Awfully ostentatious. Can't say I'm a fan. Perhaps he could use a black skinny/narrow tie to bring it back down to earth.
Love this! Cool laptop bag too
I'm a fan...Yay Imelda
Love love love. Can't get enough of this man's style!
But where's Walter? Barry would like to know!
He is definitely not a PC!
Somewhere, in a mountain lair, Alan Flusser cackles maniacally: "I'll get the fool soon enough."
two ronnies. little ronnie.
This chap just looks like he's loving life and the outfit is very brave, he pulls it off well i think.
i love it!
iBook flippa :)
Awesome! Geek Power :D
I love the mixed prints of the shirt and coat. And then dapper kid mentioned the polka dot pants. I probably prefer it without the polka dot pants. Nevertheless a very bold outfit to wear.

fashion world trying to be nerdy
doesnt work
he seems to be making fun of the nerd look
atrocious, truth be told
check :-)
this man is a fashion nut I love "Imedla" his alter electronic ego. Sometimes it takes an Aries to blast it all open, and as it has been said, but where are THE SHOES !!! he has the best collection of any man I know.
I love the energy! great spotting.
Amazing official guy!
I love this picture great candid MacBook and all
To quote from "The 25th Hour":
"You look like a f*$#)!ng optical illusion!"
Cute photo. Personality really shines through.
I like the fact that the colours were kept to a minimum to make way for the clash of patterns, I am left boogly-eyed. I prefer simplicity.
geek chic. woody allen better watch his back
Look so natural..
