Recent non-Sartorialist Looks

[chogall]



And know-it-alls on certain Styleforums where they talk as if they have such great style, then you see them post pics of themselves and turns out they hardly look better than average.

There are people who write well and organize sartorial information into a social science. And there are those who dress well. The two groups are not mutually inclusive.

True.

This isn't true. The two groups certainly exist, but they aren't exclusive, they overlap. Certainly there are people like Alan Flusser, who write extensively, often insightfully, on style but don't appear to be able to dress themselves; but then there are people like Manton, Bruce Boyer or Vox Sartoria, who are perfectly capable of analyzing clothes and wearing them well.

His statement allows for that possibility...

I said its not mutually inclusive. But you read as its mutually exclusive.

Some write and analyze way better than they dress.

I think it's safe to say he's probably earned it.

FWIW, I like the different components (except the hat), but I just don't think they jam that well together. Once again though, props to him for doing him.

Yea, basically he's old enough that at this point that he can wear what he wants to.

Pretty sure that's from a UA lookbook (ie that's not how that guy actually dresses)

Those flannel trousers look a lot better on him than the selvedge jeans. The jeans don't flatter his chicken legs.

This is devastating news to the thousands of skinny, geriatric men who buy selvedge jeans at United Arrows.

Several decades ago - buttoned collar shirt (sprezzed points), knit tie (fancy one too) and three-piece suit

I find elderly men don't look good in jeans of any cut.
