Menswear: Trainspotting

Capture

Street style blogs are so great.  They are great visual chronicles of what’s going on in a specific city or town.   I’m not sure why I haven’t dedicated more posts to admiring other people’s style.

So today, I’m branching out and doing a street style recap.  Earlier in the week, I saw this stylish gentleman on the train.

I wasn’t too sure about sneaky photo etiquette.  I really just wanted to “snap and run“, but it seemed sort of rude.  What would you think if you caught a random stranger taking your picture on the train?  The word creepy comes to mind…

So I decided to walk over and ask if I could photograph him.  Thankfully, after fumbling through my explanation of how I blog and what I was doing, Mauricio allowed me to take a few pictures.

So here is what I like about his look:

The outfit is minimalist, which is classic and versatile.  The pieces are well-cut, crisp, and monochromatic.  Since the colors are muted, each piece can be mixed and matched in endless ways.  Minimalist pieces are a great way to expand your wardrobe because each one acts as a building block.

The accessories compliment the look without being overpowering.  The bag is vintage, which also gives the look a bit of originality.  Vintage finds are always a nice way to make your look authentic- it’s rare to find the same vintage piece twice!

We only chatted briefly – 3 or 4 stops- but Mauricio recommends the following brands and stores:
