Do most of you find this look appealing?

[PhiloVance]

I understand the concept of breaking style rules to create the "sprezzatura" thing and I understand that seems to be the thing right now. I also readily admit that my sense of style runs to what most would call antiquated to just old-fashioned or out-dated. That being said, I'm curious as to whether the majority of people on SF find this look appealing.

Personally, I think too many basic rules are being broken here - i.e. the jacket shouldnt pull when buttoned. The rest is probably a matter of preference, but I think the jacket is too short, the shoes are too bulky for the slim pants, it looks like something is going on with the vent in the back, and I've never been a fan of the 3-inch cuffs.

Dreadful - today's fashion tomorrow's trash

 

[Chargersfan]

Is he wearing his wife's jacket with black rubber boots?

 

[pebblegrain]

that's one well-dressed security guard

 

[VelvetGreen]

It's a crap look. Comical.

 

[dragon8]

The entire coat is off. I disapprove of the look

This guy looks terrible 90% of the time and I'm being generous...

He has a following ...

sprezz is doing one small thing wrong - ideally, so small that only those in the know will get it - in an otherwise classically perfect ensemble, just to show that you're not a slave to the rules. it is not dressing head to foot in the latest "fashion" crap. this clown is the anti-sprezz.

 

[Quadcammer]

shoulder and pant fit is good.

jacket too tight and too short.

shoes are dreadful

 

[UrbanAesthetics]

Personally, I don't think he's breaking too much rules. He's following some current trends such as the shortened blazer and I'm not a big fan of Wooster's shoes, but it still doesn't subtract from his overall look. Still pretty clean...

 

[Gus]

My understanding is that he is wearing what the store is selling. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[PhiloVance]

I don't think there's anything wrong with the suit he's wearing per se - its how he's chosen to have it tailored that kills it for me.

 

[David Reeves]

hes too old to dress like that. If he was 19 alright.
