If you’re like us, you dream of someday being one of fashion’s anointed.
That is, getting featured on the Sartorialist.
But how to get photographer Scott Schuman’s attention? We’ve gotten a little obsessed, taking inventory on exactly who appears on Scott’s website, and we’ve decided to share the fruits of our research.
Here are our tips for catching Scott’s eye:
If you’re a guy, show some ankle. A Thom Browne suit, shorts, even capris are all Scott-approved choices.
You may even want to draw attention to your exposed ankle by wearing an ankle bracelet - we cringe, but Scott loved it - he even took a close up.
Note: If you’re a celebrity in rehab, this might not be the way to go.
Also for guys, your chances of getting snapped are better if you wear a khaki colored suit, or at least a beige colored jacket.
If you’re a girl, wear a dress - 60% of Scott’s chosen girls do. Belt it at your natural waist. Add a pair of gladiator sandals. He loves those.
And no matter who you are:
Throw out your sneakers and flipflops.
Put something around your neck; a necklace, or better yet, a scarf.
Hang out in front of Fanelli’s at the intersection of Mercer and Prince Street.
Ride a bike, wear a hat. Ride a bike while wearing a hat. Do not, under any circumstances, wear a helmet [editor’s note: Faran wishes very much that you would all wear helmets, but it’s true, they’re not on The Sartorialist].
Now go out and look for Scott!

At first I thought the post was kind of mean, but then I realized, in all fairness, you guys do make some valid points.
