Timeless Tokyo fashion?

Yes, it may well be getting warm. Unfortunately a tad humid too. But it’s clear that as far as this immaculate and wonderfully attired man is concerned, such conditions are by no means an excuse to let standards start to slip.

      Yes, real style. And as such, he really stood out from the crowd.

    Okay. Come on. You can’t deny me. If his jacket is a shade of blue, then so too is Ginza-dori. No? Otherwise, you need to stop shooting Ektachrome pushed to 800.

      Haha! On a regular day, I’d say it’s a really nice shade of grey. A shade all its own too. But, on a sunny day, like the one I took the photo on, there’s no denying it does seem to have a blue tint.

      To be honest I wish more roads were covered with the same concrete/tarmac (or whatever it is), as it’s much more appealing than the standard black.

        I see, Lee. You moved from B&W to Blue! I know Chelski won the double and Citey the league, but no need for this 🙂

        I would love to see this gentleman’s date!

          Haha! Actually it was my mood that was blue — I’m a Bolton Wanderers supporter…

      Me too. I wish I could I muster even a fraction of his style…

      Classy is the perfect description.

    Little concerned about the man in the snazzy suit cuttin’ his eyes at you…. Be careful out there! 😉

      I think it was a dirty looked aimed at my lack of style rather than anything else!
