A question of appropriateness…

Now this fella has the je ne sais quoi to pull this look off – the proportions work and while it may not be everyone’s style cup of tea he looks pretty darn good.  He’s also not in Vancouver – that said he is in Paris and it’s pretty cold there as well.

For sake of our discussion though I happened to see a very similarly dressed guy today who was taking a smoke break tucked under the cover a building while it was -2 and snowing.  Which brings up the question of appropriateness – I dig and support the sockless look but it seems a touch try hard you’re bundled up in a toque and scarf on the top half.  Certain sacrifices for fashion are understandable but this one in the winter seems like a step too far.

Fair?  Harsh?  Let me know what you think…
