On the Street....DB, No Shirt, London
Ok, he actually was wearing a navy tank top under the jacket; but this is one of the first times I have ever seen someone basically do a jacket-no-shirt look and have it appear totally normal.

post a commentlove it <3 :D
He is so classy and manly, I love that he appears to be so comfortable and natural in his clothes. Also, the colors and his skin are great.
WGC....
great look, easy and yet strong
Neil
Oh I love how he wear! color, attitude, etc... Fabulous:)
not to mention completely elegant!!
A tank top under such fabulous jacket. I dont get it- my practical side worries about deodorant stains in the lining of the jacket, even if it has shields sewn in. I do like how he paired the navy jacket with the brown-ish scarf. Is the cuff of the jacket somewhat unusual or is my screen wrong? Jorge from WPB
wow at that flash of green in his pocket
and his hairs are all beautiful
It works quite well further due to the scarf/foulard he wears around his neck and the tailoring of his DB blazer. Without the two components it would be too Miami Vice/Los Angeles nightclub.
Pietro
I think the reason it works is the scarf. And it would only work with a closely-fit jacket.
I suppose that the day was warm :) btw green scarf makes this outfit more chic
He carries this off really well.
I wonder where he is from? The reason I ask is that I imagine such a look on a balmy late summer evening on the Med, rather than in the middle of London. But then saying that the navy and dark red works well for a summer-autumn look as well.
By the way, it was great to meet you at Liberty last night!
The scarf plays a huge role as filler in this case...I think of old mafia bosses with gold chains and tank tops with double breasted jackets...would like to see look with out scarf to see if it really works...love the pocket square, that green is amazing...love the buttons also...
Beautiful mix of colours brown/autumn tones with this bright dark blue and of materials.....
Truly genuine!
The look says - sotted old rock star wannabe.
Absolutely and intensely gorgeous! DB blazer & silk pocket square lend stark contrast to no-shirt. Love the look, great photo!
Angela in Victoria
I think he looks ohlala...dreaming of Tuscany...thats what I am doing.
I love the navy and the subtle polka dots on the shirt :)
it really looks normal.
maybe, he is gentle man :)
What does that mean—"normal"? Do you mean "undergirding patriarchal power structures" and "not gay"?
Maybe the ascot helps.
that DB manages to be super casual given its deconstruction that it works effortlessly. thats a really cool jacket.
I love navy jacket.
such a classy man, reminds me of my dad. he gets all of his suits tailored and made on savile row.
Very elegant man. Beautiful color choices.
magnifique tout simplement!!
He looks good in that jacket =)
check out this American girl abroad in Barcelona @ www.fashionsnag.com
Would never have guessed.
William is by far London's most stylish man.
HELLO Handsome!!!!
I am impressed. This settles the age old debate that men are conservative in English fashion. There is no better statement for men to go without a shirt. It rules out these questions, checked or striped shirt.
LOVE it! It's awesome when something can be done so well and you think, why isn't it done more often? It takes guys like this one to pull it off!
I love this. Lovely casual cotton/linen suit in a beautiful shade of blue worn with the right accessories. I see a blue sleeve peeking out from his jacket sleeve so it must be a long sleeve t-shirt he is wearing and not a tank top.

anyone have a recommendation on a nice double-breasted jacket like this?
it's the casual flair that makes this work, and makes the DB become a more accessible piece
Definitely interesting... this look works really well in a/as a photograph but I'm wondering if i met him face to face, in real life wouldn't it be a bit 'hold on , haven't forgotten something?'...??
Nice jacket with the combination of the handkerchief(scarf) of the neck.
Curious and elegant.
Reminds me of Peter Saville. Is that a cotton jacket? And, what sleeve is peaking out? Was it a blue low-collar long-sleeve shirt?
NIce pocket square.
what polka-dots on what shirt........am I missing something?
i hope i look even as half as good when im older. ace hair!
Wow. he is totally distracting. Nice catch!
Bless this man for not looking like a woman trap in a man's body.
William... you are simply stunning...
Great elegance and a witty smile.
The scarf and the tailoring of the jacket are the reasons this is successful. And the green pocket scarf is incredible! Kudos.
He looks like he'd be wonderful to wake up to.
This Time in Seoul
Who is William ? He looks really nice and interesting...great style !
Love the dark navy with the green pocket square.
Casual double breasted jacket. I want one.
sexy
This is not the sort of fellow I think of when I read, "DB, No Shirt"
Not only does he pull it off, but to have it done this well...what a man.
guess i am in love! :)
ModernDowager--Yes.
I can't believe it took the 49th post to realize this.
Sexy, sexy indeed.
A handsome, sexy guy. He resembles my husband quite a bit. He just need to relax more, if you know what I mean.
Great dreamy guy.
i like his pocket square
i will say even without the scarf it will be more chic
Now we are talking! This is awesome, for years I saw the most terrible outfits when you try to pull off a suit with no shirt underneath! And I saw quite a few.
This is elegant and you completely forget the lack of shirt (here the foulard is covering up the extra skin)
Bravo
thechukker.blogspot.com
fantastic style without trying too hard. i like that he is contemplating. he is a busy man. i like that he is a man, not a boy.
what is his story?
http://www.asteelmagnolia.blogspot.com
Iggy Pop on his "Idiot" album cover sported a tight and
cropped DB jacket with no shirt. When I first saw it I thought he was the sexiest thing alive; man or a woman. Check it out!
I remember that Iggy Pop cover; and I'm definitely going to have to somehow use this idea myself at some point. Digging the way the color of the lozange, the jacket, the buttons, and the skin/hair works together, too.
Very understated and elegant. Love it.
Epitome of "effortlessly chic"... I wish more men dressed like this.
so, who is this stylish man?
he's so dreamy!
splendid
I watched Thunderball last night. Largo wore a DB with no shirt, and just a silk necktie, scarf or cravat. In fairness he had just returned from diving, but it was an interesting look, if not impractical - you will get the lining all wet/sweaty! I wonder if this is a sort of niche look for stylish old italian yachtsmen etc?
it's William Gilchrist - well known London based stylist and dandy.
is it his outfit or his persona which takes make me gaze?
good!!
DASHING< I will married him tomorrow...
Thanks for post. It’s really informative stuff.
I really like to read.Hope to learn a lot and have a nice experience here! my best regards guys!
Sometimes you can even find semi-formal clothes, like I have this pink-checked shirt that could almost pass off as a formal shirt, but this shirt is also fantastic.
DB, No Shirt, in London is a one thing that, I also will say that look weird and do not has to be wear, I think such as things do happen when you are going some where in hairy.
He is looking very cool,, specially the blue court is very suit on him, Cool man, Nice dressing, I like his court,.

Fashion is a state of mind. A spirit, an extension of one's self. Fashion talks, it can be an understated whisper, a high-energy scream or an all knowing wink and a smile.
This is some thing new because jacket-no-shirt is some thing which I also never see before, but I think it depend on the person that what he or she does wants to wear and in the picture the person is looking nice, it is not like a thing which look different.
Very nice work. It is always a plesure to look at your art.
What do you really mean by normal? You mean men like? Somehow we are told that jacket must be worn with a shirt. One of the reasons why I choose not to wear jacket most of the time.
So stylish jacket man..
He's going to catch a cold if doesn't wear a shirt =)
