From New York Post, Page Six:

Critique? I'm looking to wear outfits like this guy, but want to first make sure that it's popular. What brand names is he wearing except Theory? Is he model for the store and their brand or is this staged? I thought Page Six was like Sartorialist taking photos of random people on streets.

Is the outfit/combination/color bad? Or what he said "I spend excessive amounts of money on clothing, but I don't buy a lot." I'm new streetwear so I thought if he looked good enough to be photographed he must be wearing something fashionable.

If you want to dress like that, then dress like that. If you're only dressing like that because it's "popular", then you're the biggest poser ever. If you're worried about looking like everyone else, then just pull out this month's J. Crew or GQ, look at the back pages and voila.

Thanks I didn't know where to look first I will try those magazines and websites. I wear suits at office so I did not know where to start with casual streetwear clothing. I wanted to see if it was an acceptable outift and then I wanted to know why not. I do not plan on copying just wanted to know the current flavor out there. I appreciate comments so far everyone.

I see that you are in Madrid... just go outside and see what everyone else is wearing. The stuff you see on this site is mainly for US/North America. If I recall correctly most people in Madrid dress pretty nicely. Also, wearing a shirt, vest, jacket and overcoat with a scarf when it's 40 C out might be a dumb idea... but hey... apparently you can't wear shorts.

It too much. Just the shirt+vest is good enough, but he has to add a tie plus an overcoat. And those are ugly shoes.
