pull off

Miyuki MiyabeのCrossfireも終わりに近づいて来たので今日がCrossfireからの最後の引用になりそうです。
"I think he was rich." The waiter mentioned a brand name for the jacket he'd worn, but it meant nothing to either Chikako or Makihara. "He acted casual, like he wore that kind of thing all the time. He could have been a model. He looked really at home it if."
"How old?"
"Twenty-five or twenty-six. Long hair, the way everyone wants to have it, but most guys can't pull off."
"Just like my son!" chimed in Chikako. "He's grown it long and has it tied in the back. I tried to like it, but it just makes him look like a starving samurai. He seems to think he looks great."

"pull off" に車を道路脇に止める意味がありますが、ここではもちろんそんな意味ではないですね。辞書を見ます。"
