Spring greens, spring fever. I think it’s great that before I can get too serious here I fall before the charm of RDJ looking cute and mischievous, and just blog the thing… The silliness of the pose does not actually do a disservice to the suit, though: it’s a kind of funky one, with that check pattern. Paired with sneakers, as it must be here. That may be a good match-up, even if not gliding around on a bike, about to go over the handlebars.

Upload by handsomecorner via lefthandedbluestocking, not really a spring look, except that the landscape looks like spring here in Oklahoma…

A fun light plaid jacket, though. Pieces like this are likely to end up an idiosyncratic element that can make any plain outfit a little more jazzy.

And also, I feel that I have not been giving Kim Woo-Bin the attention I ought. I am pretty sure when I get around to seeing some of School 2013 I will love him.

I’d say that’s pretty much the only deployment of sock-free loafers I have ever approved of. And it’s because the whole packet is so right. Also because they are two handsome devils. But look at that righthand get-up! Would you pair thin green stripes with plaid slacks? No, you wouldn’t. And you would never know that a solid vest would bring it from the brink of pattern hell to pattern paradise. He’s even got a multi-colored plaid tie on there. It looks amazing. Now go look at the article this is from: Street Etiquette - The Waistcoat

Idris Elba by Anthony Mandler for British GQ May 2012

Be sure and look at all the smaller images fullsize—not my original post, so I can’t change that they’re so small.

But what a handsome line-up of suits, and on such a distinguished man. I adore the slightly frosted stubble showing in that top image—makes the hard-boiled image even truer.

Recent “noona can’t!” suit shot from Yeo Jin-Gu, highly illegal, and possessor of eyebrows so expressive that can’t be legal, either. At least he’s wearing a spring-casual type plaid brown jacket, and not something more dashing. He looks like a child prodigy about to take stage for a concert or something. Someday I will see something with this child in it besides the Warrior Baek Dong Soo music video I have in my favorites, and I’ll probably stop taunting y’all…

This is a great statement (and I feel I should strive more to be a gentleman) but the fact is, the underlying image and it’s suited-ness. SO very lovely. I do love plaid under solids, in a suit. Not always, but when it’s just accents it makes the rest of the suit enlivened in a particular way.

Is this another Tweed Ride?

I don’t know anything about them but I LOVE TWEED RIDES

and the ajussis in their suits on their bikes, aigoo my heart.

Look at that one fellow’s bright red socks (tasseled?!) and his deerstalker. Bless his heart.

To be honest, I rarely blog the TVXQ boys (as opposed to the JYJ boys) because they don’t really appeal to me…except in the rare every-day-in-shirtsleeves sort of pictorial.

Like this one.

The other one I’ve blogged was that smoking hotel-room series.

Stripped-down (uh, literally, hah) and minimalistic really works for these two.

This cutie is taking K-Pop and K-Drama by storm, and for good reason.

He’s able to play along with whatever you hand him. I mean, suitcases tumbling out plastic arms? Security footballs? Tiaras and argent confetti?

The ridiculousness never lies with him, though. And the dark plaids that I would not seek out being used here are interesting—they make me wonder if this is a retrospective or inspired by bad uniform color choices…

Check—why does it work so well in the context of a suit, or under a sweater? It seems it would be too busy or loud a pattern to look so classic like this, but it really just snaps everything sharper. Jaejoong is looking pretty college-heartbreaker-oppa here with his glasses and dress shoes, but pushed up sleeves. It’s an unusual hairstyle for him (longer in early days, and more neatly cut lately) but it provides just the right note of casual here with the together outfit.

This is perfect, somehow almost too much so, though really—plaid and leather driving gloves with a trench coat is nothing you’ll see too much on the streets. A bowtie, too? And a sweater underneath? It’s a daring combination, I think it’s Kim Jae-wook’s reserve that makes it seem all too together and obvious, actually…

I’m pretty sure this is an ancient photograph, but it is also a great one, so. The layers on this thing! I mean, the tie-dyed leggings (? or jeans ?) aren’t really obvious at first, except as a base for the clashing knits and plaid to all tie together—in a chaotic-manga-hero-front-illustration sort of a way. Like someone got carried away with the power of their texture-fill kit. The sweater, in this context looking mild-mannered, is actually very handsome—a restrained but technical knit. The jacket, though slung carelessly across his shoulders, has a tailored, double-buttoned look that would be stunning all done up. Of course, combat boots. The rest of this would not make sense if that and the tie didn’t match. In some…inexplicable sense.

Chris Hemsworth in a robe and glasses on the set of the Thor sequel, eating Asian takeout with chopsticks while somebody else holds his plate, aka “All My Life Goals In One Photo.” To add to these most excellent observations, I never use a robe, but it is an essential piece of menswear. Robes can have the lines of a long coat which is going to accentuate the shoulders, can be a place to show taste even when not dressed up. Another lesson: there is nothing I think I can’t get away with blogging here if a nice black-and-white filter is on it. Hehe.

Caramel-corduroy! In the shape of a 70s men’s suit, exaggerated in bells and cuffs. The blue on the shirt is nice, as is the chair to set it all off—and that tie is PLAID which is great, too. Take note: if you like to look at girls in guys’ fashion, “girlswillbeboys” there has some fascinating photographs. thepiratejenny: girls-will-be-boys: Magdalena Frackowiak She’s sitting like Tom Hiddleston!

I have yet to see anyone seriously wear a wide-brimmed hat like that black one in anything but a k-pop boybander fashion shoot, but it’s a good flourish, as a picture hat should be.

The only practical look in this, the mix of pajama-plaid pants and leather jacket, is interesting, and I think variants of that could work as street wear. I would, of course, also love to see the strappy number on “flower boys” on the street, but I’m thinking that’s not quite as likely…

And what shirt could you realistically pair that with? A tee, I suppose. A vee-neck?

Anyway, it’s nice to see a sharp, clear shoot of weird elements again. Street-legal is all well and fine, but photography of celebrities should indulge the ridiculous…
