post a commentI really, really like the second one. Dude looks totally killer with those birkinstock looking sandals and the sunglasses. Love the embroidery on the cap. The accessories really make this outfit exceptionally rad in my opinion.
I like the first guy's caftan, it looks cool & elegant. But sorry, not feeling the second guy's chest hair! I do like his accessories and pose, he seems quite confident.
Agreed, the little boy is so cute as well!
Proportioning of the first picture is amazing.
OMG, the kid is just so cute! 'love the shoes and the bag on the 1st picture, it makes all the outfit so natural, 'really nice!

Not feeling much of either. All white looks better on a boat.
so cool, fresh and carefree, i love both photos!
the little boy in the first is adorable. its so cute how much they match (:
I like seeing kids in clothes that fit, no matter the state of the economy. And I have a creepy, sneaking suspicion that the 2nd guy isn't wearing beneath that...robe? Grudgingly gives him points for swagger.
the first picture looks so bright and radiant. comfortable at the same time. I wish i had one of those...
the man and boy both look totally awesome but together it is too contrived
No kidding. I just asked my mom to buy me an caftan/kaftan for my birthday! I have been searching and searching ... any ideas about where I can find one on-line?
awww this makes me miss home so much (teary eyed)
lovely pictures
Both pictures are really remarkable!
Long time admirer (and lurker), first time commenter.
These shots are simply, casually elegant in the esprit personnel sense. Comfortably authentic and, yes, a true inner confidence is reflected.
Where were the shots taken? I am thinking #1 was in front of a Bahai temple and the the other, maybe at a market?
$50 says the first guy got his stuff in india.
This is sooo cool1 i love it. fresh & clean.
MEN IN KURTAS. I wanted to bring back that style for men from India when I visited so badly. I see someone in France caught on to a great thing. The child is adorable.
the first pic ... very fresh!
Meh, does nothing for me. Especially after yesterdays photos.
I love the matching in the first pic. The outfit in the second pic looks so effortlessly thrown together... I love it!
Kurta in Paris?
I have one for sleep.
the child lovely, father nice.
I really love them both. Especially the kid in the first pic... cute!
XX
i wish i could wear something clean and flowy like that-its so dreadfully hot where i live.

Super cute first picture!
Lovin' it...
xo
Isabel
french men in kurtas? I love it!
They both look like JESUS.
The outfit the father and son are wearing in the first pic looks alot like the traditional/festive Ethiopian clothing for men and boys. Intresting that someone in Paris is wearing this. Where did it come from?
Aweful
So cocooning
They look very stylish and even more comfortable! Just don't eat a hotdog while you're wearing 'em...
glad kurtas are atleast catching on in paris... The father + son look so relaxed.
really?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I can see this on a beautiful woman on a leisure day. I think our lives are a lot more sophisticated than that to be wearing this throughout one's day.
Jorge from WPB
So simple, so cool!
The first picture is really nice!
Sz.
What nationality is he? (second one)
Love the picture with Father and Son. Looks really very cool!:-)))
white is so underestimated! the wee boy in the first shot is adorable!
www.notavailablesorry.blogspot.com
oh this little child is so charming....peter pan in disguise?
Pilgrims?
both very nice looking, but I can't get over how much the first pic looks like they're going to a(n indian) funeral.
the second dude looks like he should be hawking overpriced marketstall tat...
Wow those look great! I love the cool, clean, crisp look of this.
FIRST GUY LOOKS AMAZING O HIS KAFTAN .... COOL , FRESH , SMART AND PLAIN IN THE SAME TIME .
A+++
how about the guy sitting down in the second picture. any thoughts on jeans tucked into socks?
I really like the contrasts and the movement of the first pic. Amazing photos.
Beautiful! In the first photo, the man is painter Thomas Fougeirol, the boy Oskar. I just read an article featuring their home in the August issue of Cookie Magazine.
i'm always impressed with people who could go on all white and maintain ALL WHITE the whole day.
i could ruin it in seconds with mere ketchup stains.
i've been waiting for the day i see someone pull off the tuck-your-denim-pants-into-your-socks look this effortlessly. brilliant.
I like the first photo of the gentleman and the little boy wearing matching outfits. Very seldom do you see father and son doing that and I really love it. I also like the fact that the little boy is leading the way. All of it looks very natural. Awesome photo
boring and a little too Donavon.
I love that first picture! For so many different reasons...
Love the photos.. but the second one the outfit just seems to be very biblical. without the beard.. almost like the sermon the mount!!! What a different way to stay cool on a hot day though!! You wouldnt see that her in Australia I dont think..
the first is a kurta-pyjama, a typical men's outfit from here in india. most men here wear it to bed :)
white = purity. i love it. plus, you dont sweat as much when you are wearing black. next stop, scott, egypt. seriously.
the second guy looks like an extra from "Monty Python's Life of Brian"
love how clean and fresh it looks
hahahahaha
the second guy is hilarious.
The boy is adorable, and I think the outfit just makes him look angelic (not in a creepy supernatural way, in a way that he's innocent and sweet).
I love this. The natural fabrics, the way they pull it off ... and when it's a 30°C hot summer day in the city I can't think of anything better than this. Better than men in boring shirts and shorts in soooo many ways.
Beautiful photos...the first is so lovely, I love everything about it. A style truth.

I think it is interesting to see how caftans (all over the runways for SS10) are already on the streets.
Usually, in a mosque, men usually would wear a similar style to that one; white + sometimes a cap on the head :) anyway, i love the first picture, the kid is definitely adorable!
x,
k
i love it, but agree with an earlier comment that i would prefer a belt that covered the waist-seam x
That is the SS 2010 style... they wear it now. I love it, in 2009 it is soo unique and looks so relaxed. The first man can wear it better, it is all about the face and attitude. I want this look too.
"i've been waiting for the day i see someone pull off the tuck-your-denim-pants-into-your-socks look this effortlessly"
Why?
It's different and really interesting.
this is future wear!

kurta- maybe. caftan isnt rly the rite word either.
this is without a doubt brought over from morocco, where these kamises and serwals (local for shirt and pants) has gradually become more of a fashion statement and less of a traditional garb.
refreshing and authentic; the simplicity of white serves to truly bring out the harmony in the father/son posage. zween! (another local one for badass!)
once again, Indian style and tradition breaks into fashion.
i cannot help but be proud :)
Loving!
starting new looks.

I think what saves the man in #1 (besides his kid) is his short haircut. If he had long hair and a beard, I don't think we'd be discussing him...
#1: the train stations of North India are filled with such people...
love both pictures and outfits. pretty kitty publishing if u looking for a kaftan online u go see the following website http://www.diadiwan.com/
i would love to wear the one in the 2nd pic and feel a breeze in the hot, muggy summer.
I really, really love the first one! I would kill for a top like that. Where can you find that?
These beautiful men in their white clothes... ;-)
Since when did my grandpa's kurta pyjama's become fashionable??! So funny.
What a wonderful juxtaposition!

father and son...
fatehr and son..
father and son.
I love the shoes of the sitting man in the second pic!!!!!!!!!!
It's surprising to see a serwal kurta in Paris. The first picture almost looks like it was taken on the steps of a mosque after prayer time...
Modern Jesus. Love it. Quintessential example of how ANYTHING works as long as you own it and work it.
what you've got here is the elegance and the simplicity of the shalwar and kameez. think of summer in the subcontinent. i dont see why this cant work in europe. great work!
These photographs are lovely :-)
In the first picture, the man is wearing a kurta, pyjama (drawstring pants). The common man's 'outfit' here in India, its usually worn as a night suit. The little boy's type of kurta is different, its usually worn as a casual shirt. He is wearing his kurta with a lose churidar. Churidar is a bias cut drawstring pant.
The cap that the second guy is wearing, we have something similar here called Kulu Topi. A lot of Muslim men wear crochet caps like this one.
The real hero here is the guy with jeans tucked into socks and oh his sandals. unreal.
It is just refresh!!!! Fabulous!!!
Are they auditioning? The second one definitely looks like a costume, over the top.
LOVE the father-son photo! the same look is different but just right on each of them. and I also love that the men in both photos still look masculine, even though the outfits are not distinctly so (and in the case of the bottom one, conventionally feminine). anyway, a very cool take on white for summer in both pics.
The kurta-pyjama combo was probably bought in India. It's the most commonly worn sleep-wear by men in north-India especially.
so so indian yea.. And the steps look like a scene from next to the Ganges!
A runway example of a similar look..

Kurtas, like the ones in the first pic, are traditional wear for men and boys in India. Casual, comfortable, and definitely summer. Fathers and sons often wear the same style kurtas - most likely bought from the same store at the neighbourhood market.. :)
the cloth is usually amazing for summers - soft and flowing. very very good stuff...
such great captures of culture :)
i love his sexy chest hair ; )
Love the father-son matching in the first photo!
I feel so inspired by this. Can hardly way to walk around in flowing white.
I don't know much about fashion and style, but I love the attitude here
Sexy Muslim!
The 1st one is "fashion colonialism."
I have dress same as first picture and wasn't brave enough to wear it. But it is look much better outside than I was picturing it. I'm gonna try it before summer is over.
The man and child - photo at once says pretentious and cult-ish. That said the man has a peaceful vibe about him and the little boy seems happy enough...although I can't image them popping into MacDonalds for a lunchtime happy meal!
