Gorgeously daring cobalt tie, pocket square and socks.

Looks like those short 2" turn-ups are here to stay boys!

I really like the colors in this picture.

The saturation by the sartorialist is as always outstanding.

I am such a loyal fan!

 

Blogger beths said ... (10:44 AM) : 

I'd love also to see this one standing though a seated pose makes sure we see the socks. This guy is always so intriguing--well-captured on film.

Blogger Jorge from W Palm Beach said ... (10:49 AM) : 

It is a great outfit but I do not find it inspiring. One thing for sure: it puts forever to rest the idea that one can't wear a blue suit and brown shoes. Jorge from WPB

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (10:50 AM) : 

Lovin' the blue socks! :0

 

Anonymous Vestimentum said ... (11:00 AM) : 

Great suit! Great photo, as always!

 

Blogger lenmeister said ... (11:05 AM) : 

Iconic! The top picture is like a painting, dazzling in every possible way. I never thought about matching different shades of blue with a navy suit-Truly works,

I find that its possible to find the same exact color of an accessory if you get them from the same designer-for instance here the tie and the pocket square are almost if not exactly identical (I know tie/pocket squar are sold in pairs sometimes but not in haute couture, you have to look for it).
The fit of the suit is what makes this work overall.
I always read about matching watch band with shoes but this sort of rule can be overlooked.
This guy is so well groomed and polished he looks unreal-Good one Sart.

 

Blogger The Chukker said ... (11:06 AM) : 

Symphony in blue!
Awesome

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:06 AM) : 

Somehow in his comment Raul missed the point of the socks, how they add the perfect splash of 'lapis.' Note the tie and pocket square, of course with those fantastic shoes must have the blue socks!
Ferragamo has amazing men's shoes for the fall, Raul should look at their collection. Thank you Sartorialist! - Robert

what a smart suit. love the blue and brown.

Blogger nurse fiction said ... (11:19 AM) : 

Blue tie, blue socks! What a man :)

 

Blogger Kris said ... (11:31 AM) : 

My favorite element is the cobalt of the socks -- absolutely striking. Even if no one notices but a photographer named Scott and his readers, the man can walk around knowing he is well dressed.

 

Blogger Soren Lorensen said ... (11:33 AM) : 

and well booted

and the socks well suited to the suit

i wish his hair were white-grey

 

Anonymous The Urban Flaneur said ... (11:33 AM) : 

Great shoes, specially the colour and its combination with the all-blue attire.

Impeccably boring in its perfect fitting. The shoes are a highlight.

 

Blogger Tony Post No Bills | Washington DC said ... (11:56 AM) : 

In the U.S. media is steering us in the direction of telling us that grey is the new black of the season. Take notice that what you typically see coming out of Florence, the U.S. may promote the following year. But I do love the take on classic American coming out of Florence. We should be seeing allot of Shades of Blue (Kind of Blue) very soon. I can just hear the Miles Davis playing as the theme music. The gentlemen in the picture never disappoints. Brown shoes and Blue socks..you can't go wrong.

wonderfull picture!

 

Blogger James Taylor said ... (12:55 PM) : 

I love the combination of blues. I think it's funny how a lot of people seem hesitant to pair brown shoes with a blue or grey suit: to me it's always a more obvious choice over black, especially by day.

 

Blogger norawoah said ... (12:57 PM) : 

Totally and completely in love with these colors. Everything is right.

i love the shades of blue here. looking at this picture actually kinda cooled me off a bit on this hot, sticky, nyc day. thanks : )

 

Blogger Joy Mars said ... (4:26 PM) : 

ll be showing royal blues (instead of my least favorite color navy) then that's good news.

Matching socks and tie, what a trip! The shoes could not a been black. Light brown is a far better fashion statement.

 

Blogger Danger said ... (4:28 PM) : 

I would never have thought to pair brown shoes with blue -everything else. Looks amazing.

 

Anonymous Think Big said ... (4:31 PM) : 

I love the matching tie and socks combination. I try to do it myself sometimes. This could be the next biggest thing after the belt/shoe combo, especially as almost nobody notices it, it's more sophisticated and understated.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:49 PM) : 

Nice suit! minor critiques: The socks should blend with the pants and seem an extension of them, not contrast with them, they contrast a bit too much here. Too bad we can't see the pocketsquare well enough, seems to have a pattern, if it does and or the square is not too similar to the tie then nicely done.

Hello, Why the men who have a great look come from Italia or Japan?? It is unfair for the others.
Have a nice day.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:28 AM) : 

Love your blog, Mr. Scott Schuman! One comment; as an Italian, I wear brown shoes ("brown" actually comes in many, many shades, of course) with blue, with grey, with light grey with charcoal grey, with navy blue, etc. etc. I am fascinated that Americans find it so "daring" or bizarre that one would wear a brown or tan shoe with a blue suit! For example, the comment from Jorge of West Palm Beach.

Leather or "cuoio" is naturally in shades of brown. People over the centuries have always worn variously tanned leathers with their garments, as long as the colour matches properly.

Blogger Daedalus said ... (12:26 PM) : 

Like the use of blue, but myself having a rather classic taste, I have to say the shoe choice is terrible. They are too casual, too much contrast.

He should have opted for black, chocolate brown or suede shoes.

Mr. Cool is back! Great pictures Sart. I have to say this gentleman is one of my favorite subjects of yours, if not the hands down best. He always looks fantastic - classic without being too conservative, and I love the cut of his suits. Nice job.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:30 PM) : 

there is nothing better than a classy well dressed italian.... there is nothing worse than an italian bozo. This guy is an embarrassment to all well dressed men and especially italians with taste.

Breathtaking! I do think the socks should blend with the pants and seem an extension of them, not contrast with them, but that is my personal tastes .

Absolutely fabolous pic - love the great composition and the blue-brown harmony. Adore these daring blue socks. ;)

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:26 AM) : 

I am a bit annoyed by the fact that there are no pictures of women in smart, formal suits - a fact of today's world is that women also work in suits and not every woman can go around in flip-flops or mini-skirts. Why does a Sartorialist choose to overlook those formally dressed women?? I want to be inspired, but the only time I can wear a mini is on the beach or on the weekends...a bit chauvinistic approach to everyday women...who also come in all shapes and work outfits...

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (7:52 AM) : 

I am disappointed that, with such a carefully pulled together outfit, the wearer has not worn gorgeous cufflinks. Or am I just an old fashioned girl?

matching the socks with ties. a man after my own heart. i either do that or match it with the shirt. i hardly ever have it blend in with the pants.

Those Graftons(Church's)shoes are real killers..I love them...The only 'fausse note' about them is the bookbinder(semi patent)leather. Soap and water replace cream and polish and that, for a shoe aficionado, is a real put off!
