Just look at this beauty of a tie.
And how decadent it makes that simple shirt and jacket look. Total win.
Camera. Smoke. Comfy-textured sweater and windowpane print pants, jacket over one shoulder.
It’s like someone’s drawn up a list of kill-points for me in this shot.

I don’t do too much “disembodied fashion item” photos, because I really think portraits are the best, but these.

These gloves are gorgeous. It’s like a portrait of the craftsmanship and really, why not?

Love this—something about the thin linen-y scarf with the trim denim jacket—it could look pretentious, too fashion-conscious, but instead it looks dashing.
Totally put together, of course. You don’t just throw on that tee with those pants and automatically know, “Oh, that jeans jacket and a scarf!” But it comes together to look organic. Like, you already had those pieces, you like them, you put them together hoping they would work, and saw the mirror—and realized it was swag time.
This is a great look, because of the contrasts. The big embossed print and doubled velour bowtie, with a scraggly beard, overgrown hair.
There’s a chemistry to it.

I’ve never seen a man look so somber in polkadots. Or in a flowy scarf, for that matter.
The silvery tones here are both chilly and dynamic. They highlight the face, but his skin tone seems just a living tone in the same palette.
Love the look of the jacket, with a gentle solid that’s got a lot of texture to the weave. It’s perfect for dressing up with just a small but splashy thing, like a designer scarf and retro hairstyle.

So Ji-Sub has about one modelling expression.

I’m not gonna knock it, it’s a good one. I posted three photos of the same outfit because he looks good in it.

(I still maintain he doesn’t have a face I’m drawn to. He’s the kind of celebrity who gets treated right in a shoot, though.)

I think it’s great that the button-up shirt is tie-dyed in a denim shade. It’s sidelined by the darker sweater, which is pretty much the only way it could look reasonable on a hewn-out guy like this.

To be honest, the jacket itself has a poor fit here, and doesn’t do anything for me. I like cleaner lines, or at least well-defined messy lines.
It’s the ensemble as a whole that’s cool. It’s got a dressed-down look though both slacks and jacket are suit-serviceable, because of the baroque belt-buckle and metal accessories, softened by the kind of metro scarf.
(That scarf is a beautiful color.)
It’s got a stylish charm, and that covers for a lot of things.
This lighting and focus have the wood-tones glamor I am particularly fond of. It also calls up some of the more popular movies Oldman has been in, which is not a bad thing…
It’s a pretty photo.
And it’s an ensemble that is making a dotted vest work, so props! I think that’s a scarf inside, which I wouldn’t have thought to put on a more mature looking man, but since it matches the vest (I think—it’s a very marginal view I have here) that works, too.
A gentle ensemble of neutrals, played up dramatic just by pose, and with a feast of textures.
I love the play with complexity—knits with check. Formal coat with unexpected golden gloves. Most of the pieces themselves are mild. (Tho’ not those gloves! Those look like auntie-gloves.) It’s the photo itself and the model heightening them.

This came tagged with C.N. Blue, but I could SWEAR that’s Narimiya Hiroki, and…not Jungshin-chingoo.
Am I right?
Regardless, their long coats sweeping the stair are stunning.
Remind me why we don’t all always wear long coats again? Who decided on that?
Simple oxford.
Simply exquisite.
I do love contrast looks—this gentleman’s thick frames and combed hair provide a studied contrast to the prominent ink, and the white shirt frames it all so nicely.
This a wee bit Steampunk, ye think?I am all for the glorious return of nonironic patterned knits for men, alongside hats (how puckish is this cap?) and velocipedes.
Gosh this is amazing. I love how the whole ensemble is in a sort of sepia palette—the tie looks like coat-material, and is in the gold that picks up the windowpane check of the jacket. Is it more blue or more lavender?
Doesn’t matter. This coat obviously fits prestinely, and I love that there’s not just a contrast-color kerchief, but tortoise-shell glasses in the pocket. Making carrying something in a suit pocket look classy is a lost art…
It’s intriguing how severe Tom can look, just by merit of his blackened hair. When he’s his natural color, he seems so charming.
Not that he isn’t charming in this photo—but he’s that laced-with-poison charming. It’s interesting that the restrained palette of the set here pops his outfit so much. It’s so sixties-beige, but his russet red shirt and windowpane check jacket are New Vintage.
Which is my totally new term for stuff that borrows from old-fashioned style without being actually old.
