post a commentWOW the purple pants; WOW the silver touches (buttons on the jacket, bulky watch, phone, hair!) WOW this very snazzy man. What is he wearing on his right cuff? Would enjoy seeing his backside (hair and all), his eyes (behind the shades), man-bag. The contrast to the building (?) is very cool. His moustach and lips are very sexy! Great body!
Ouch! That sort of hurts the eye.
lovely buttons :)
those pants make everything else blend into the background and now all i can see is purple pants.
The purple is nice. It looks good on him.
Haha. Love it.
Not sure about the chaps ensemble generally, but the colour of those trousers certainly packs a punch! Quite like the fit of them as well, potentially a bit too short though?
His jeans almost appear wet-look? haha well i love that there is one button undone to confuse the eye with the asymmetry.

Hmm... I can't decide whether I love this or abhor it. I think I love it, but I'm iffy on the brown shoes. I definitely love his attitude and his stance. Nice photo!
Gahhh! Gotta love a man who can rock purple pants. Is that a ring on his left hand?
the color.. it's so surreal..
the tilt buttons are also great :D
Zero comments? hello?
those pants are a great color and Oh to be a person who thinks, wtf i'll wear these bright purple pants and then look great (i guess there are 2 of those people in the world, this guy and Prince).
This just makes my day.
Fearless!
The jacket is quite elegant, streamlined.
I don't approve of the pants. Love the color, but I don't like the fact that they are too short. :/
damn. LOVE his pants.
those pants are WOW!
loooove it!
This is Florence my friend!

LOVE.
the color is FANTASTIC.
xox.
The Voguette
Wow! That equals courage!
i'm torn!?!
Do I love everything about this? Yes. Do I think I could pull this off? No. Why is it that the looks I love the most on this site I would never dare try in public?
The shoes with the purple trousers, i like that!
Love the face, love the jacket ... the pants-not so much.
Gorgeous guy - memorable. Should have done more with his shoes.
Is he famous? He looks it.
Wow; just wow. That color just completely makes the outfit. I love the trousers so much, especially the cut and length, which allows one to see those navy socks. Also a huge fan of the sunglasses and hair, and that cardigan is gorgeous. Just a lovely outfit; I want to meet this man!
how is that color even possible?
I love it!
Love the cropped purple pants and the shoes!
I love the color of the pants. I just think this looks a bit contrived.
"start wearing purple, wearing purple"
thanks for reminding me to bust out the gogol bordello!
Magnificent. I like everything about him—shoes, socks, pants, sweater, accessories, flecks of gray in the hair. It's perfection! More of him.
He would look better without socks
espectacular pants!!!! hight color pants its greatt ,,,
What an unexpected color, but he pulls it off with grace. Not 100% sure about about the brown shoes and blue socks underneath though..
http://thischicksgotstyle.blogspot.com
Amazing Color!!! good for him :)
Love it.
He stands out, and he can carry it, no problem:)
As Emeril would say "Bamm!" Lovin it! Color me bad, color me loud, just color me! Then, comfort me in this most deliciously big buttoned cushy jacket/sweater and expertly distressed suedies, while I look at you look at me, looking at you looking at me in my too cool, big framed Persols…Booyah!
Forget the outfit, I'm all about that perfectly kept beard <3
The amazing thing is that it doesn't look contrived- it looks like he's wearing just what he likes. The purple pants/blue socks/brown shoes look great.
We all should start wearing color to beat the general depression !!!
Love those pants
This is absolutely not purple - it's fuchsia!! He's dreamy. A little contrived and ever so slightly precious but he's fearless and fabulous.....
He better eat those purple jeans right on up!! LOL
spring shocking!
haha

I approve 100%! If he were in America my approval rating might not be so high. I'm asking myself why is that and as of yet, I don't have an answer.
There's something shocking about purple pants on a man. But if a man were going to wear purple pants it should be this man. The dark everything else really works here.
Bit of a risky move with the extremely bright purple trousers and I'm not sure it's really paid off.
I love photos like this when I read the header (while slowly scrolling down the image) and then BAM! Most frequently it's the shoes that will take me by surprise, but those pants actually caused me to gasp. It was totally unexpected after the upper half of the outfit.
Sart:
I am usually on the Italian bandwagon with you, but I have to sit out this ride! I agree with Stefan @ 11:06 AM, the jacket is crazy great, the purple pants (with green socks?!?) can't do. As for all the other accessories - shades, bracelet and watch, belt buckle - I say "well done sir!"
We referred to these as "go to hell pants" when I was younger. Whenever I don my most outrageous madras trousers that is precisely the attitude I adopt. Bravo for this fellow! (I would have liked about another 3/4" to 1" in length, though.)
Is that a pack of thrills in your pants or are you just "thrill"-ed to see me. Love these pants but the knit under the cardigan is AMAZING! - Cool shot w/ the background.
heck yes. europe says purple's still in this season?
Awesome! I'm not sure that you could find a better color scheme to match those loud, loud pants. Fearless!
Interesting outfit!
sorry, but those pants are an eye-searing fuschia or magenta, not purple. he was obviously out to make quite a head-turning statement.
What's so wrong with some vibrant color.
This guy is bold... literally. I think it takes a lot of confidence to be cool in whatever. The world needs more bright colors.
I like this image.
Classic and shock.
Beau Brummel wouldn't approve of the shade but certainly the approach.
A Style Lesson to Learn: things, that are Fundamentally, a No NO, can be, a YES YES in rare conditions (0.099%). This is one of them.
I <3 his attitude.
FVAD
These pants are so LOUD !
Not enough red in the pants to be called fuchsia or magenta, though violet might be more appropriate than purple, which would have more blue. Ultra-violet?
...as a friend says, "You can't go wrong at the high end of the spectrum".
Iffy on the brown shoes with the socks but not sure what I would have instead. That's a tricky length for men unless it's summer and there are no socks at all. I love his boldness though!
That's a statement!
You know, my idea of heaven is a world in which all men look and dress like Northern Italians, but at the same time I'm bothered by teh length of the pants. He looks a bit elfin to me here. :) Still, I do like the *balls* it takes to wear this. ;-)
heliotrope perhaps? they are a divine shade if a tad short...
loved, but did not like the brown shoes with the blue half. kisses
A pair of aquamarine pants that fit a bit looser and longer would have worked better. I love hiss accessories, especially the loafers. Genius!
super bright! but he looks good in it
he is a living and breathing work of art... g o r g e o u s !
I was in Florence and I saw so much colour on men like this man. I was blown away by the choices.
Grazie mille!
I´ve never seen a man in that type of colored pants in my city! I think it´s pity, bcs he is rockin´ it
Love it!
Cute.
I really love the jacket he's weraing. Very classical and modern at the same time...
Would you have an idea of the designer????
Thank you
maybe he is color blind...many men are ...seriously, he is stunning....bravissimo:-)
he looks spiffy until we get to the ankles. i can't wait until short pants are gone, gone, gone!
perfect
Shades of purple are all anyone in Italy is wearing this Spring. It's already so rampant, I can't stand the sight of it anymore.
He look's great!
Lol...but I like it!
While I'm not a fan of the Grape skinny pants (maybe I'm jealous) I LOVE the off-center big-buttoned top.
Gorgeous photo!
Great way to mix colors that don't seem to go together at first. He proved a lot of people wrong!

I love the pants...An incredible color for a man! And he still looks masculine.
http://www.charlottecollard.canalblog.com
Wow! So Bright!
i love the color and that the pants are ankle dipping! Love that!
This colour is very pretty
I love that jacket....
this is perfection.
sooo colorfull ^^ it`s amazing
i would change the large of his pants ;)
- sorry again for my english, i`m chilean !
xoxo
He makes me wish I was shorter so I could pull this look off. Also, the cardigan is very well made.
I love the colors and the style all though I would say that the pants are about 2-3 inches from perfection. Show your shoes but not your socks is a wellknown expression these days but still very elegant way to wear a couple of pants.
As they say in Florence, "Forza Viola!"
I had a shirt that colour once... I wonder if it was a good idea. I love the jacket, but I just cannot get used the pants, I think its just the colour. He seems happy though, ultimately that's what matters :) yep, I was happy with my shirt.
Elizabeth.
Just love the look!
I could tell he was italian even without scrolling down the entire picture...;)
Oh, Italian men and fashion :) The dark blue socks, the too short pants...neah....
As a color, I like that violet but the pants are too much for me- not a trace of subtlety, like a punch in my eye. Ouch.
As if you needed to add "Milan" to this photo!
LOOOOOVE IT SO MUCH !
he's following my advice...and Men's Vogue International http://premsdeclasse.blogspot.com/2009/03/dans-la-peau-de-johndodelande.html
Definitelly the pants killed me of envie...so gorgeous!
Love this look. So cool. Are they blue socks?
I really do like the cardigan. On many men it would look frumpy, but not on him. I'd have a more favorable opinion of the pants if they were one size larger though.
Great sunglasses, great beard, great cardigan, great belt, great shoes but those pants are a borderline criminal. Nobody is pulling them off, ever.
I'm not sure at all, but isn't he Giambattista Valli?
I really love the colour but dont know if I would wear the pants but he does look amazing in them..

The vibrant color-block jeans seem to be all the rage this spring among Italian men. I ran into an Italian tour group at Sagrada Familia in Barcelona over Easter and the majority of the fellows had donned them -- not just in purple, but neon pink and green as well.
Of course, its popularity does nothing to reduce the insufferability of this fleeting and sure-to-be-dead-soon fad. To paraphrase Yves St. Laurent: fashion is fleeting but tackiness is eternal.
what a stunning shade of purple, instantly therapeutic!
im not a huge fan of brightly colored pants
but i have to take my hat off to this man, he owns this look
too much attitude, sex, and its flat out well put together
classic.
the slightly undergrown beard, wayfarers, understated silver accents are elegantly hip
the tasseled salt and pepper hair is just the icing on the cake
But doesn't he look JUST like Ben Stiller in Zoology.
He looks STUNNING.
the best part about scrolling down through the blog is how each picture unfolds... First seeing his handsome face-the gray-the sunglasses, then POP the asymmetrical buttons on the cardigan, then BAM! those amazing pants! Love the entire look~
