If you want to judge the success of a Sartorialist outfit then take a look at his left shoulder. The shape of a jacket shoulder, pocket square, the shirt and tie combo and how it relates to the pattern and texture of the jacket, even the quality of the suit by looking at the roll of the lapel can all be judged by taking a peek at the southpaw (I feel I should mention a southpaw is a lefthanded baseball pitcher).
Below are two recent photos that show how beautifully nuanced, stylish and artistic menswear ,at its best, can be. Of course shoes can make or break a Sartorialist but if he can get the left shoulder right then you can almost bet the shoe are also on the mark.
