The Sartorialist doesn’t always claim to be shooting great fashion choices… just noticable ones.  Here  is an example of someone stretching to reach and barely making it… and only because… look at this guy… he can wear whatever he wants.  But 99% of us would do this get-up much less than justice.

I applaud his effort though… and I do think elements of this look are on their way back in, but cutting off a pair of Shaquille O’Neal’s Hammer Pants at the knee and turning them into nickers does not a fashionista make. The collarless neckline of the tee is great – I think that will have its place in the coming year.  I also like the pleats in the pants… and reverse pleats at that.  We’ll see this style coming back in new and different ways for men, with volley shorts and walkshorts – most guys should stay away from it in dress slacks for now though.
