He looks like he might be amusing to talk to. I don’t find him dreamy, and even if I did, it would be tough for me to reconcile my feelings of attraction with his smoking habit!
He’s obviously a complete nutter: I love him.
No..no, wait a minute: I hate him.
Beautiful face either way.
it’s the lower part, the pants…… they look like tracky dacks (that’s fleecy pants in Australia) worn by bogans….. hmmm that’s I don’t know what that is in American 🙂 but you do NOT wear them outside!
I vote we cut the picture in half, the upper part we keep the lower part we burn
I was going with dreamboat until my eyes hit the socks and slippers.
Douche – as is
Dreamboat – remove the scarf & switch the pants to nice ones
Does he look like he is about to moonwalk off, stage left to anyone else?
I….can’t….I…..don’t even know where to start. This somehow defies logic. Is he wearing a belt with…..sweatpants?
Love the coat, and usually love a man in a hat, but this guy does nothing for me either way. He looks like a cross between a slacker and a pimp.
Agree with Miggs, it’s only the slippers that are letting him down. I like the trousers, they look like woolen ones with a elasticated cuff, nothing wrong there.
I vote dreamboat….if only he’d worn different shoes *sigh*- I really do love the swoopy angle of his hat.
The fact that he probably spent an hour planning that outfit?
Douche.
I love the look, but not necessarily in a “I wanna do him” way. More of in a noir fan/1920s-40s fashion fan/made me smile kind of way.
The pants confuse me though. They appear to be slacks rather than sweats, but what about the cuff???? This is why it is easier in life to just find your look and stick to it – no need to understand wool gabardine, lined sweatpant cuffed style trousers, for example.
Doucheboat? He’s a good looking guy, but his outfit is so goofy. The top half is so put together, and the bottom half is so Grandpa-on-a-Sunday.
My vote is with Miggs and a fair bit of Liz!! thrown in. The pants are definitely freaking me out.
I agree with Liz!! Too costumey. Douche.
I have to disagree with my namesake, he may have spent an hour on the look, but he looks great. I say not douche and I love him
He’s wearing sweatpants with house shoes…and socks…
Ultimately, it’s the Zoolander-esque facial expression that I really can’t get past.
He has a very definite androgeous/asexual appeal that doesn’t rock my boat but I appreciate the beauty & the sly humor behind the outfit.
the attrative part: It’s the moustache, I saw a guy once in Vegas and he had a moustache like this and he was very attractive. It gives men some mistery. The douche part in this pic : the slippers type shoes with socks, the pants…the rest is okay.
hmmm… i think it’s the fur giving me douche vibes? or the pants? as long as i stare at his lovely face and my eyes don’t travel down to the rest of his outfit i say: dreamboat.
Double douche.
He is channeling Quentin Crisp – carry on.
Yes.
If it was dark, he didn’t speak and I was drunk.
The sweatpants lose the douchiness of it. They make me feel somewhat sorry for him.
It’s a tough one. It’s all it bit too much. The hat, the fur, the scarf, the stripes, the pose etc etc. That all qualifies him as a douche. On the other hand, I get the feeling he probably wears this everyday, like a uniform and that it requires no effort or thought and he probably just rolled out of bed and is on his way to his local for a coffee. So, he could also qualify as a dreamboat AND he DOES have dreamboat looks.
Benefit Of The Doubt Dreamboat – pending further investigation.
douche with those stupid sweat pants
I went and looked at the sartorialst’s comments. The Sartorialist is a douche of the first order, and his comments usually make me want to violently vomit. It turns out this guy is a famous Korean model. I think he is cute. I love the pants, and want them for me.
I think he is cute, but only if a stylist chose that outfit for him.
If he woke up and though… hhmmmm i will pair the fur on the collar with the deep brown on the slippers, and enjoy the ironic contrast of tailoring with the knit fabric recalling sweat pants.
Then no no no n ono . I do not like men that take longer to get dressed then i do. If however they are gay, I want to go out with them to make me look good.
ok I love his outfit. The hat and the scarf and the stripes? I love them.
Hot, even though his outfit is way too hipstery. But I wouldn’t expect someone who looks like that to give me the time of day anyway – so therefore, douche.
Slippers? Please. What would I wear to go out with him? To balance the look, my fuzzy bathrobe, my black fedora, a Hermes scarf and Manolo Blahnik’s stilettos (not that I have the last two items in my wardrobe; no opportunity to snag or curate them presented itself).
I think it’s the wool sweatpants and house socks and shoes that make it all confusing. But he is an attractive man regardless of his sartorial choices.
Gorgeous guy that reveals his fragility to the world by wearing a gentle velvet slippers can only be good. He wouldn’t step on an ant in them. Something tells me that his extravaganza comes from a right place and that he is completely harmless. I’d love to have a dress -up party with him, yeah.
I meant dress-down party…
I agree with Liz!!, he certainly wasted an hour to conjure this and to top it all he will probably describe it as “effortless”. Total Douche.
But the Sartorialist is the KING OF DOUCHES so no surprise there.
douche i’d want to fuck if and only if he is also a mute.
NO. I don’t discriminate against men who are terrible dressers, but there is a difference between carelessly terrible and effortfully terrible.
BUT…I’m just a teensy bit conflicted, because he bears a passing resemblance to (just passing – like the lapsarian, lumpenprole version of) Takeshi Kaneshiro, and you know how I’m all about that…
I don’t know . . . any guy that can rock fur without looking pimptastic deserves some sort of trophy.
The outfit is douchey, but his face looks sincere to me. That’s what makes me feel conflicted about him. On anyone else, it would look ridiculous, but there’s something about him. It looks like he actually likes those clothes, instead of just trying to be ironic/trendy.
But then again, sweatpants.
I think we’d arm wrestle for closet space…..
I have to agree with Cybill about the moonwalk vibe and I don’t do moonwalkers. Ewww!
It must also be said that i have totally dreamed about a douche before. And he is Korean… so may not speak a word of English. And that does it for me.cute and cant talk. sign me up. yes i am a horrible female misogynist.
Screw him. I am lusting for his shoes.
I was feeling his look until…. ugh those fucking shoes! Why did he do it? He is handsome though, great features. But I would be completely embarrassed to walk beside a guy that’s wearing those horrific shoes.
Morgan, “Doucheboat” is perfect. Thank you.
For me, Tom Selleck is a doucheboat. I would totally do him, but I know he’s a douche.
“Doucheboat”!!! Love it and will use it!
*Honeypants- how is your sweet doggy feeling?
Em- “The outfit is douchey, but his face looks sincere to me.”- YES. That’s exactly what I thought too- he looks like he really, honestly likes those clothes, which is the appeal really,
That and he’s gorgeous.
Homma – I’ll sign up for that, too. BUT! It just occurred to me: Height is an issue. If he’s 6’2″, it’s SOLID DREAMBOAT. 5′ 7″ would be a different story. This proves that I’m heightist, on top of all my other ists.
Ermm … he could get away with the slippers if he wasn’t wearing sweatpants. That’s just WRONG.
The trousers ruin it…everything else is working so well.
Although, his face is so nice he just about gets away with it!
Douche. Don’t like the slipper shoes and socks.
