Perfect knit. Perfect sunlight.

thanks for these finds!

He looks great, love the asymmetrical hair colours that complement his outfit.

I want his cardigan, may I steal it please?

Blogger the style crusader said ... (2:07 PM) : 

i love this. i like that both shawl photos have such deep browns in them... and plaids... and hats. would love a jumper with anchors on it like the one he is wearing.

really lovely and a trend i definitely have not noticed yet... hopefully more people will start wearing shawls like this. xx

Now this hat is one I like a lot, but I think I'd like this photo even more if I could see his hair. I'd love to see that two-toned hair revealed.

 

Blogger Marc Chehade said ... (3:07 PM) : 

Beautiful blend of colors and textures! I wish more men in America would enjoy the beauty of shawls.

Blogger Klever Girl said ... (3:14 PM) : 

something about the blend of all these textures just works. I'd love to see what he's carrying in his arm, looks like a lovely coat...

 

Blogger SabinePsynopsis said ... (3:29 PM) : 

Cute! He wears his shawl beautifully.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:32 PM) : 

The anchors make this for me.

 

Blogger anthony said ... (3:34 PM) : 

He knows how to wrap a shawl. The jersey and its collar are really nice too.

 

Blogger Bell said ... (3:34 PM) : 

I love the shawl in men.

 

Blogger GFS said ... (3:43 PM) : 

These pics are great but I don't know how confident I would feel walking with a man who was rocking a shawl...I'd feel like he would fight me over some lipstick if it came down to it.

I must admit these men look confident in them though.

I have a question? Do you usually ask your subjects to pose for a pic or do you sneak one first, and then ask? Or maybe a combo of the two? Have you ever had anyone decline to have their photo taken?

Just curious:)

I like the shawl, it looks sort of feminine but it works for him. As does the brown colour palette. Very nice!

The purples and blues blend so nicely with his chunky brown cardigan! Lovely expression too.

ahhh i love so much your pictures :) you are such a nice person, with such a nice eye

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:19 PM) : 

The rust colour running through the outfit - from the anchor motif through to the guy's hair - combined with that mix of patterns, is inspired! What an original look!

 

Anonymous Em said ... (4:35 PM) : 

This is new! I think these two gentlemen make this work.

Of course you're in Milan...

Looks warm and comfortable. It's one thing to look fashionable but to also have it be comfortable and warm is simply amazing. Love the shawl !

That was awsome in lack of a better word right now. I love it!! And thanks for writing this blog too. It's one of my favorites.

Ohhh, great cardi jacket and I love the shawl over it once again! Also, that coat he is carrying looks gorgeous. Great shot. xo

Blogger Unknown said ... (6:11 PM) : 

Where do I start? My God, he is perfect. There will be many who will say he is too contrived. But sometimes getting all the colors together is the right thing to do, especially when you do it like this! I love to see men doing things with scarves they wouldn't normally do, or think they shouldn't. Why not, I say. Look how wonderful he looks. I love this picture Scott.

 

Anonymous evelin said ... (6:12 PM) : 

I love how you can see that this hat has been worn a lot. you often see people with hats trying to look "cool", but this man really makes it work.

Any chances one might see you during london fashion week, scott?

I'm always in awe with the style from Asian gentlemen you post, they always stand apart from a crowd.
I am a little late but I was very moved by your "Grace" post. I aspire to be a photographer and I have your book I flip through it a little while almost every day.
I'm from Mexico and I am going to New York for a couple of days this week, I am constantly thinking about getting to see the places and styles I've seen on your pictures, and maybe if I lucky run into you.
Thanks for everything

Sandra

Scott, I look forward to each day's postings and more examples of your beautiful, crisp photography.

Most of the time, I'm inspired by the senses of style you showcase. Every now and then, like with this shot, I wonder if you're yanking our chain a bit just to check whether we're paying attention.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:00 PM) : 

In both of these looks, I like that the shawl gives a gentle artsy feel while both subjects have facial hair and hats that add masculinity and ruggedness. Interesting.

 

Blogger andrea.at.the.blue.door said ... (10:43 PM) : 

There is a great history of "man-shawls;" subtly woven and elegantly wrapped and tied, they should only make a come-back.

Blogger Joy Mars said ... (12:56 AM) : 

Excuse me, but I wouldn't wear a shawl and I'm of the age and gender that's supposed to.
Shawls aren't practical. They don't keep you warm in cold weather -- wool or (better) cashmere scarves around one's neck do.
This is just a weird fashion affectation.
But in summertime shawls are lovely with sleeveless apparel. They're graceful and fun. I'd like to see either one of these guys wearing a pashmina at a summer party! Something tells me they would never even think of such a thing.

Ok, I have to say that it works on them, or when I am sitting outside in the garden reading a book. But I would not be able to pull this off in the "outside world".

Blogger Sophisticated Misfit said ... (7:02 AM) : 

I don't know about this shawl business on men. Unless you're a shepherd or mountain man, you're always going to come across as a poser, amirite? I could wear it as I've been both a shepherd in southern Italy and mountain man in northern Italy. But to see city people imitating the ways of those that are often looked down upon by those that are now mirroring their clothing is LOL worthy.

Très désolé, but I don't buy their pretend ruggedness.

Blogger An Aesthete's Lament said ... (7:56 AM) : 

The only thing I don't like about this outfit is that I don't own it. It's pretty perfect, great layering, great juxtaposition of textures, terrific palette.

 

Anonymous le lapin amoureux said ... (8:02 AM) : 

love the way he tied the shawl and how comfortable he felt with it. his hair highlights the different tones of brown. nice.

it looks like shawl goes with hat & warm brown colors :) he is very stylish indeed.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (8:56 AM) : 

Gee, I don't like this look. Podgy old hat, shawl, and sweater. Compare to that wonderful young man last week in the Rue St Honoré with the neat hair and hat.

Save the rest for old age in front of the fire.

Perfect details of bright yellow on the cardigan.

I love them both, and if they are with a woman who has a chill, they can easily warm her without losing a coat!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:28 AM) : 

love that anchor detail stitched into the sweater.

 

Blogger davidikus said ... (11:37 AM) : 

Another splash of brown and orange, really! A major trend for this winter I guess (in retrospect) now. Good job you spotted it.

Aren't those male shawls simply scarves that have been unfolded?

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:48 AM) : 

This isn't really so much a shawl to me as another way for a man to wear a large scarf--and I think it looks fabulous! The color and pattern associations hedre are just so creative and individual!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:13 PM) : 

It's nice to see Asian men for their fashion sense!

 

Blogger modernhaus said ... (1:46 PM) : 

What's more interesting to me as a trend is the nautical anchor theme on his sweater. Interiors are starting to show a lot of this, as well. Interesting how they're converging.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:38 PM) : 

I love a man with a big scarf, and the "p.1" photo guy is rockin it...but this guy looks too grandmotherly. That shawl would be borderline matronly on a woman, especially tied like THAT. A woman might still be able to pull it off with a dress, but over a chunky sweater? Hang on, let me get my bifocals...... NO. This is not sexy androgyny, this is the worst of both worlds.

Anonymous thomas said ... (5:04 PM) : 

Does anybody know the brand of the shawl ?

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:17 PM) : 

This man's style seems to be bohemian and effortless. However, the meticulously-tied scarf seems to belie the latter, and seems a bit contrived.

 

Blogger Cory Ellen said ... (1:07 AM) : 

Great knit, great layering. As someone who knits, I love both the shawl-collar and the masculine shawl. Once you get past the stereotype of who should be wearing a shawl, they're surprisingly beautiful and versatile on men and women alike.

 

Blogger Olive said ... (3:27 AM) : 

Amazing, what beautiful knits and warm layers, the perfect winter outfit.

Yes please! A bit Clint-Eastwood badness about men in shawls (yes, I know he was more into kerchiefs and ponchos, but same family).
