Other than the choice of watch and that chain, I like.

Also, I agree about the chubby knees.

Whoever said that the key to elegance is getting dressed, looking in the mirror and removing one item before you go out got it wrong. Some people need to remove two.

I think he looks fine. The pose could be pulling it--or I hope so. I saw him in Milan on the street and he had on something similar to one of the older sartorialist photos. He looked good. It's a little affected, but what isn't? He is having FUN.

I might be just a tiny bit biased because he gave a nod of approval to my togs.

Is he wearing two watches? That is a place to start.

The tie itself, I could give another chance if I could see the pattern and he tied it properly.

I think it's a bracelet. But he can remove his one ugly watch and the stupid chain hanging over his hip. Well, the bracelet needs to go, too. I suppose that makes three.

I think the suit is pretty awesome, but everything else, especially all together, is just too over the top. What is in his pocket? Can't be a standard square to be shoving the lapel aside like that.

Still, that guy walks down the street, and he looks good.

That chain looks as if it could be connected to another piece of metal or affectation named after this guy

BTW, she doesn't have a chubby knees problem, she has a bow legged problem. Please know the difference.

I agree that the guy’s ensemble is just too busy.

mmm... OK. It's a basic and ubiquitous four in hand - you must go through a lot of hateful feelings in any given day or on this forum...

I've always admired Lino's confidence and the cuts he sports. His attention to detail can come across as too affected, not to mention unnecessary (mainly the urge to sport two watches - even if that's a bracelet, I think I've seen him don two timepieces in the past), but his sense of whimsy is rather compelling and he's never boring

Sure it is. The lapel overlaps the pocket and he just didn't let the lapel rest over the square.

Ah. That could be it. Slightly knock knees are much more fetching on a girl, even preferable. I'm not kidding.

No, some guys tie that knot in a less offensive manner that I can look at without my head exploding. Look at how crooked he tied it. It looks absurd.
