Lunch with Jessica & Jed, Los Angeles

Garance was shooting her friend Jessica yesterday so I hung out with Jessica's boyfriend Jed.

Jed is a very cool artist with a very cool laidback LA style. I love that big "grandpa-style" cardigan he's wearing in this shot.

It is always a little sad when you see things you'd love to wear but know that it would never look good on you. A chunky cardigan like his can only be worn well by someone bringing none of their own chunk to the collaboration of man and knitwear. It is a sad truth but I am wiser for knowing it and planning my wardrobe accordingly.

Wise words, Scott, wise words. I agree though: there's nothing more depressing than looking at a runway show and realising that not a single thing would look good on a normal-sized person such as oneself...

Agreed. A great benefit of paying attention and alas, of growing up is learning what looks good on you.
Many looks in your blog are specific to their wearers and beware from trying them at home!
But please keep photographing them as they are a joy to behold...

I lived in Los Angeles for twenty years of my life, and was around quite the creative crowd. Theatre students, musicians, writers, and the like. In all that time, I can't recall seeing such relaxed and spot-on sartorial taste in a man. I'm a big fan of cardigans, but the beard is great.

Living in the Carolinas now, I see far better innate style in both men and women then I did in LA. Sart, if you have not already been, I suggest visiting Charleston, SC in late spring/early summer (May). It's guaranteed to produce some great shots. No knock on LA, but I've seen far better natural style elsewhere.

This post is so funny, so real and the comment has made me laugh (...be worn by someone bringing none of their chunk to the collaboration of man and knitwear!...).Wonderful sense of humor.
Keep on keeping on...

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (4:44 AM) : 

Sart, lovely picture & great looking man but I beg to differ Re: the chunky factor in - as you so aptly put it - the collaboration of man and knitwear.

just one word: The Dude's cardigan. probably the single most celebrated piece of chunky knitwear on the single best male example of confident chunkiness: Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowsky.

I know he can't be matched but - and this is really just a matter of confidence/insouciance - he will always be a great source of inspiration for the rest of us chunktastic people!

Have to disagree, Sart. Chunky blokes look great in chunky sweaters; remember Ralph Lauren Vintage Dude in Manhattan in your pic from a couple of years back?. In fact I'd go further and say that slim men shouldn't wear chunky knitwear because it only exaggerates what they don't have.

 

Anonymous ralukitsa said ... (8:05 AM) : 

I admire the pic more than the style of the gentleman. The picture is great, I love the soft colours and the nice touches of red and orange on the over-all dark colours. really beautiful indeed. Really nice that it has the story of it's own, nice composition.

It's the man inside the cardigan. He's enigmatic.
Maybe he's mad, maybe he's happy, maybe he's uncomfortable ... who knows but him.
He could wear anything and look good because his disposition is unavailable. It draws you in... wanting to know more.

 

Blogger the_eye_collector said ... (5:15 PM) : 

If you see something you like in a store, I think it's always worth trying it on, regardless of what you normally wear or what you think suits you. I've observed many a person defying convention by wearing a style I never would have paired with their body type - some of them on this very blog!

To the guy who said he wanted to wear red jeans, I say do it! Hell, sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind and go for it.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:59 PM) : 

Actually, Scott...I'm afraid that theory is inaccurate! :(

Chunky cable knits are equivalent to a large print/pattern, which larger folk are encouraged to wear. As you know, the scale of the texture makes them seem smaller and more proportionate to their clothing.

You're 100% right about how chunky people and chunky knitwear don't mix. Unfortunately It applies to women too--chunky knits made of unusual yarns and colors are among my favorite things but I can't wear them at all.

I think its less about the sweater style and more about if or how you see yourself in it. Many have said here that you'd look good in this style sweater and I agree. But if you don't feel you'd look good in it, 9 chances out of 10 you won't.

So much of life is about attitude and how we feel.

You are wrong Sart about yourself and the principle! It takes one to be Mature; not simply possess the Stature, to wear certain items of clothing. We are canvasses not mannequins. We adorn ourselves to evoke a mood or an outlook. We are not hangers on which we can only hang the “appropriate” clothing. You and I are quite similar in build and stature. Yes, I indeed will wear huge patterns, horizontal lines, and chunky knits when the mood arises. I follow the principle of “Free your mind and your posterior will follow.” Peace, out.

Blogger Moderator said ... (12:23 PM) : 

I respectfully disagree. A handsome, fit man (like those you photograph) can wear absolutely anything and make it look good. A beautiful fit woman (like those in all your pictures) can wear absolutely anything and pull it off. That's why clothes always look wearable on the runway (even the most ridiculous clothes) but end up looking merely ridiculous on the people who buy them. It's the people who either look good or don't. The clothes are irrelevant.

"It is always a little sad when you see things you'd love to wear but know that it would never look good on you."

I beg to differ...

If you love it wear it. That's the ultimate - enjoying yourself!

As a Beachwood Canyon resident, there are many men with this look patrolling my 'hood. Although the grandpa sweater look is quite endearing, I have to agree with you, Scott, not too many can pull it off.

Going to be really upset to know if this was taken in Hollywood or anywhere I might have been and not seen you nor Garance.

My partner absolutely refuses to wear cardigans but I hope I will finally manage to persuade him he doesn't look silly!

We should all learn to knit and make unique things but unfortunately, I'm not very dexterous and I'm rather impatient. Oh well!

It´s good planning the wardrobe after body type.
I really like his cardi too.

Oh man, I love this look so much. So my look that I had to go out and get the same exact one, I think... http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=51264&vid=1&pid=684901

Hi Scott, good post.

First, I gave my girlfriend your signed book for Christmas which I got when you were in London in September. She thought it was brilliant.

Second, I think anyone can pull off chunky knit wear in the right combination. I'm seeing it used a lot more liberally in Copenhagen and Stockholm than other places.

Cheers

p.s. You should make a visit to Copenhagen

I believe this kind of cardigan can only be worn properly by a bigger/taller fellow. It wouldn't really look good on shorter guys like me and mr. Schuman : )

I always feel like slouchy clothes are meant for the comfort of the home.. but this gentleman wears it perfectly!

Yeah, he's rockin' the LA Style but, like so many... even most... of the Hot Dudes in Los Angeles, he's Canadian (and so is Jessica, his hip wife).

I love this old cardigan worn with a very basic T-shirt!

Maybe I'm less demanding than you, but I'd love to wear the same
