Olivia Palermo's boyfriend & his black shirt phenomenon

Posted by Joe Button on

Before we, (guys and girls alike) start gawking uncontrollably at the flawless thing on the right-hand side of the picture below (read: Olivia Palermo) let's take 3 seconds to look at her very easy on the eye beau, Johannes Huebl. When we saw this picture, we were a bit startled! We didn't think a black shirt could be worn in such a casual manner and in broad daylight! It seems that these days, most men only wear black shirts if they're slim fit, body-hugging and the only occasions for it are nights out on the town, first dates or inside a killer suit (think Brad Pitt in all the Oceans movies).

But here is a black dress shirt phenomenon that Johannes Heubl is comfortably sporting - loose fitting, top two buttons undone, white shorts, loafers, wayfarers (and an Iphone if you want to be specific). Yes, we agree, he is painfully good looking and we understand your fears of not being able to pull off this look but come on, you can barely see his face here! He could be anyone and seriously..this look is brilliantly versatile!

OK we can all go back to staring at Olivia Palermo now. Ladies - what do you think of her shirtdress?

We really love the little white round collars that have been spotted around [...]

Coolest ties this season to go with any dress shirt

We know we've been jabbering on about ties a lot recently but it's only because there's been so many great varieties available in menswear this season. In spite of this, people still often associate the shirt & tie look with being boring, old or uncreative which is completely untrue given the range of options out [...]

Rockin the Monogram

We always get mixed reviews about the monogram feature on our shirts. Some love it while others hate it - there seem to be no in-betweeners. Here's a classic Sartorialist photo taken in Florence of a middle-aged man in a suit that fits him like a glove in that royal blue very few people can [...]
