Street style at its finest! I love how he appears to be gliding and flying. Wish I was good enough on a skateboard to ride like that...

And the fashion is where here? Looks right off the rack, possibly bought by his gf..........

 

Anonymous Interior Monkey said ... (10:24 AM) : 

Love that the surroundings are not as glamorous as many of the other NYC scenes. This is what much of the city really looks like. I grew up in Brooklyn and miss the grittiness of it. I can almost smell the city here...great picture!

Anonymous raul said ... (10:30 AM) : 

wooooow..absolutely stunning. truly amazing. really eye catching..its really magical the way in which the signals on the road leads to the soft curves on the back of his jacket.and those cargo militar inspired pants?? how awesome... had never seen something so utter stylish...only a great photographer could capture the very true essence of street style..
thanks for sharing. i reached nirvana.

 

Anonymous Sylvia said ... (10:35 AM) : 

I love the fact that this is shot from behind. It makes such a difference to see the wind catch the fabric from behind.

Cool shot... did you have to run after him?

Blogger FishyBoy said ... (10:38 AM) : 

I've never been a big fan of the giant shorts thing, mostly because I usually see it on people who definitely can not pull it off. This guy manages to wear them with grace, and that's why it works much better than most.

Anonymous C. Black said ... (11:23 AM) : 

Great shot! Many fashion bloggers would turn their backs on a shot like this (What style?) but you do a great job of catching the full spectrum of fashion from every walk of life. Love it!

 

Blogger crowsfeet said ... (11:27 AM) : 

The shot captures so much motion... makes it look like the bill of his cap is a spoiler; could be the only thing keeping him on the ground...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:34 AM) : 

Skateboarders are ubiquitous here too, but not with such style.

Great New York photo. I can hear my dog start barking wildly at the sound of those wheels, just by looking at this photo.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:17 PM) : 

'Rad' maybe. Sartorial never.

Baseball cap on backwards, shorts look to be worn in the low slung/show your underwear style, the shorts have cargo style pockets and they finish below the knee.

All things that make you look like a berk.

I love the breadth of pictures on this blog and find something I like in most of them. But this one and the one of the Italians in jeans with ironed creases in them are not good.

 

Blogger anthony said ... (12:18 PM) : 

Beautiful colours everywhere. Fabulous. No fan of baggy shorts. Its also really cool that you got him in that tire stream.

Great photo with such vibrant colours! I like the slight curve of his body and his seeming weightlessness.

 

Anonymous Paul (UK) said ... (1:34 PM) : 

Aww, great shot, so real, and superb that it shares the page with the posed denim clad italians. I hope it was a true unposed street shot. Captures real spirit. Great Scott, and for me the essence of your eye and camera work that keeps me coming back!

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (1:43 PM) : 

Very sophisticated NY photo. It gives me a feeling of the skater getting lost in the huge city.

the first impression must be deceiving. He obviously holds a master in fashion. The elegant way which he cautiously puts one foot straight ahead while the other reposes graciously forming a 45 degree angle following the marks of the weels on the pavement.Every single movement,studied with utterly rigor.
the beautiful headpiece wore in a such unusual way only denotes a deep understanding on stylism.
This is ART..

if he could hang on to one of those taxis, maybe we could get some huey lewis & the news in the background?

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:19 PM) : 

Good picture, but I have seen much more style on a skateboard in new york. Skateboarders have style while riding a board as well as what they wear on it. If they can appropriately match their style to their clothes, skateboarding becomes more of an art form. Rather than a sport. Thats all, but still nice picture.

 

Blogger Ciaragh-Lee said ... (7:41 PM) : 

he is wearing a jacket in this heat.....wow. great shot!

Blogger The Fox Trott said ... (8:37 PM) : 

I'm surprised at everyone's response to this image. I do appreciate the street style, but to me this is not extraordinary. This is what you would see every day if you were to go to the Brooklynn Banks and watch people skating. Its a nice image, but I hesitate to say that I'm impressed by it. Just an opinion I guess.

 

Blogger Liz S said ... (9:04 PM) : 

I always admire the guts of these skaters who use their skates as a mode of transport--but to them it's nothing I know--they are so adept at their skill.
Not a great lover of this look but hey, it's practical and--it's what you wear when this is your scene and he wears it well.

Blogger djaniquinn said ... (6:37 AM) : 

This is classic NYC skate style... Made especially popular back in the 90s with the release of KIDS. And a lot of the kids are still dressing like this. A lot of it has to do with just plain functionality. You want to be wearing comfortable clothes if you're doing any serious skating. And he's not riding a cruiser either, this kid's board is set up for tricks (look at the small wheels). This is right up the block from Supreme, Lafayette btwn Prince and Houston. Supreme is one of the better known skate shops in NY, if not the world. Skating is bigger than ever now along with it's style of dress. I love it. Great photo! The wind billowing in his jacket gives the photo movement & no one has mentioned that the board itself is what really makes this look. It's the skater's ultimate accessory!

Seriously? Pants on the ground?? No thanks. Compare and contrast with Milano men a few pics later. sigh...Scott please...no more pants on the ground!!

 

Anonymous Laurent said ... (10:35 AM) : 

Sorry, apart from the great exposure and depth of field focus, I don't understand the interest in the subject. Dressed in the ubiquitous uniform with added rainjacket, this contributes nothing to the "style guide" which I understand the Sartorialist to be. I think it is a waist of time and blog space.

 

Blogger Allen - East Hampton said ... (11:21 AM) : 

Another great shot, and I love the color choices.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:16 PM) : 

LA Dodgers hat, Vans, skateboard, yeah real New York. Not.

 

Blogger beths said ... (9:25 PM) : 

Agreed, not NY, but the shot is lovely with the air in the jacket and pants, the colors and background. I see and hear this image in my small city, too. And to my eye it's a finer look than the silly Milano shorts-suit.

Thankyou for sharing, Scott!

Love the tension between the bleached, monotone-feeling background and the vivid bits of color--in fact, you got distinct zaps every color of the spectrum in here: red (shoes & buildings), orange (truck & barrier), yellow (lights & cab), green (shorts & lights), blue (jacket highlights & distant building), indigo (jacket), and violet (flag on building). Amazing. And I love the way the flow of his clothes convey his speed and grace.

 

Anonymous Alessandro said ... (11:17 AM) : 

Exactly what sort of 'style' is it that everyone is praising here? The picture is interesting and it would be appropriate at an exhibition on life in NYC. However, as far as style, this is an example of the very opposite; a handy guide showing you what not to wear - not even the individual items are salvageable, let alone the ensemble. I also think, if you;re not a soldier or if you are not Tarzan or someone rummaging rhough the forests of the DR Congo, you should wear camouflage.

honestly, as a skater who has lived in new york, you chose to photograph one of the least inspiringly attired skaters i could have imagined. try heading to the Open Road park at 12th and A.

Anonymous marc. said ... (2:54 AM) : 

ugh. does anyone ever say anything negative on here? these comments sections are rightly useless - all the sheep just saying "i love it". yeah, right.

and for this photo in particular this "style" has been going for decades and the sartorialist is so hip it now deems it worthy for all these fashion wanna-bes to say they've loved it all along.

baahhh bahhh bahhh.
