My Man-Crushes. Sartorially Speaking.

I love me a well-dressed man. He has to have a certain je ne sais quoi, along with a dapperness that is kind of raffish, but in a good way. He proudly shows a vulnerability (or is it confidence?) by zoning in on an unexpected sartorial detail with an accidental purpose. Don't know exactly what I am talking about? Let these men do the talking. And dressing.

In Florence, a classic woven Panama hat is paired with a slim navy suit and an unbuttoned white shirt for an effortlessly cool look.

In Milan, whimsical punches of red contrast a stark grey suit. Floodwater pants are de rigueur to show off argyle-printed socks, while a capricious polka-dot pocket kerchief rounds out the outfit perfectly.

In Milan, a shot of green (gloves) and blue (neckerchief) gingers up an otherwise neutral tan-and-white combo.

In Florence, a paisley shirt and a look-ma-no-socks trend add a definitive twist to cigarette-slim jacket sleeves and folded-up pants. Don't forget the hat!

In New York City, the concrete jungle needs sturdy boots (like these) that don't scream 'lumberjack' all the way to the outer boroughs.

In Paris, a back-to-basics look works well with classic Ray-Ban wayfarers, a cardigan tied to the waist, and a pack of smokes. Very Risky Business, if you know what I mean.

In Milan again, the Green Lantern returns with a vengeance in short leather gloves and a yellow (!?) phone.

In the fashion model world, drop-crotched, sarouel-inspired pants are worn by sexy men in thongs. Thong slippers, I mean.

In Rio de Janeiro, khakis with a belt detail - and a gorgeous smile - prove that these pants are not just for slackers.

In Paris, it is perfectly acceptable to don a military jacket with a Deutsche flag and pair it with a standard blue oxford shirt, nerdy glasses, and a startling turquoise riding helmet.

And somewhere in the world, a venerable-looking Asian chap stirs up his navy suit with cuffed jeans and brown suede shoes.

In Governor's Island, a Charleston dance party brings the spectator shoes out from them dandy folks.

In New York City via Darjeeling Unlimited, this actor / jeweller is at the summit of cool with his frayed, organic scarf and traditional turban.

In Milan, coiffed macho hair and a fu-manchu beard jazz up staid camel and grey suiting. Aviators add a mystery behind the man.

In Berlin (guy on the left), a 40's navy hat and trench coat give a bit of a deconstructed vintage feel to a modern t-shirt-and-jeans James Dean look.
