I just love the collar on his shirt, buttoned down and goes right to the lapels on his jacket. Also points for the tie, very tastefully tied and with nice dimples.
From this article about how stylish he is https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-11-08/zohran-mamdani-becomes-new-york-city-s-new-style-icon
Just a suit and tie, innit?
I mean, dude’s cool but it feels a bit like hero worship to think he’s a fashion icon too
I used to think that until I got a freelance gig for a custom dress shirt company. The cut of the suit and the shirt make a difference.
For example, a button-down collar is more working class since they’d be in situations where the collar could pop up. This makes it more casual than a collar with stays.
Not gonna lie, I work a working-class job, I wear clothes at work that’ll get wrecked in my job and different clothes, more fun and flashy clothes in my private life.
This entire outfit reads as a suit and tie. I ain’t gonna look at those little details, I already know it’s a suit and tie. It’s a uniform for certain professionals and that’s about it. It’s not fashionable or unfashionable. It’s not interesting or good looking, it’s just work clothes for other jobs.
Absolutely fair! This post is made for nerds who care about those details.
This sort of stuff goes way back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when folks wore shirts with collars on them even when they were shoveling shit.
I totally agree that it just looks like a suit and tie when he’s the only one in the photo. I don’t know enough to appreciate the details, but if you put someone in something very nicely tailored (but not the stupid skinny short suits) next to Trump’s baggy bullshit, one looks put-together and one looks like a kid wearing his older brothers suit to a funeral. Sure, body shape is a bit of it, but a good suit and a good tailor can make a huge difference- it’s about looking like your clothes fit, not just about looking trim.
Having clothes that fit you properly is important. The rest just kinda feels like the business card scene from American Psycho
That is exactly how I feel when I start oogling at the largeness of the wales on corduroy or the size of the collar on a shirt 🤣
I don’t know why people keep down voting your comments; you are completely correct
You are right but I also want to shout out the importance of knowing how to do baggy right. A wide pant leg can look spectacular, and a billowing shirt body puffing out of the top of your pants can too. The drape and body of the fabrics involved really matter for this.
I should make some posts about good baggy soon. I’d compare with bad baggy but people don’t seem to like negative posts much around here
I had been looking for some good oxford button down pics that don’t come from 20 years ago and found this specific photograph. The devil is in the details as they say, his outfit has the little details done really well. It isn’t really high fashion unless you are a nerd about clothes.
Not hero worship; a different pic of him would not do.
Its a Casio a1000, they’re real pretty and actually have a metal case and glass crystal. The “dial” is white mother of pearl
Its a dressed up version of a fairly humble watch which is fun. I just wish Casio would make more metal case watches that aren’t trying to be dressy. I like the obnoxious, retro text all over the dial with graphics and color advertising the features of the watch lol. I dunno why I find it so charming but I do
I think the knot is a reverse four-in-hand given it’s narrow symmetrical profile.
There’s also some lens weirdness here that’s giving his head a narrow profile too. There’s a circus mirror effect at play.
To me it looks like just a wide angle shot stretching out the periphery
Is he married? If so, I’m jealous of his wife. She has a husband who is sexy on so many levels.
