WINTER WHITE'S

Look how stylish these guys look in "Winter White" Oh yes Steve McQueen was his time way ahead!!

I'M BLUE DA BA DEE

Okay Okay, I agree these pictures from The Sartorialist are most likely posted over a 1000 times, but they tell us how too look sharp in just a navy blazer and a jeans. You can smell the "sprezzatura". The big question is.........what shall we wear at Pitti this week? 

DRESSED TO UNPRESSED

Exactly 1 year ago The Sartorialist posted this picture of Carlos Castillo owner of Man 1924.

For me this is still a great picture, nothing in this look is pressed or neat, but together it's a sprezzatura all the way!! 

ARE YOU READY FOR THEM?

The countdown has started, just 15 days before Pitti Uomo 2012. On the picture the most famous bloggers, like The Sartorialist, Mister Mort, Tommy Ton & Guerreisms. These guys are ready to hunt you down and shoot the Peacocks of the coming Fashion Fairs. Most of the Peacocks already know what to wear sprezzatura @ Pitti and what kind of workwear @ Bread & Butter. Do you already know what to wear on the coming Fashion Fairs?

DON'T BITE JUST "BARK"

The Italian knitter called Bark is famous for it's Mongomery cardigan, often seen in Italy as an extra layer, sort of a coat instead of a cardigan.

Their philosophy is to celebrate identity, AND SAY IT LOUD. It's where the name came from. Identity has never been driven by fashion; instead it's driven by personal style, with individuality being the sign of the times. This is strength of character, this is modern and this is NOW. When fashion does not feel like a series of dictations from on high but communicates what's going on, it becomes something else: STYLE.

MY FAVORITE TWEEDS

I'm not talking about the social media tweets, but about pics where people wear tweed. When I see those pics I get that warm cozy feeling and it reminds me of the English country site. It keeps you warm and stylish, whether your in the city or in the country.

IT'S GETTIN' COLDER OUTSIDE

It's getting colder outside, and this is the perfect time to spicy up your outfit with a silk scarf. The aren't bulky at all, and give a little warmth. They come in paisley design, or dots. Drakes London has a great selection, or go the Gant way - go for some ducks.

CLUB COLLAR = ETON

 

 

The Eton Collar or better known as the Club Collar, was most popular during the first decades of the 20th century, but it is working on a come back. You could find some great examples on the street during the Pitti uomo fair in January but also this summer. The club can be worn pinned or unpinned. Unstarched, it's better with less formal suits or jackets in flannel and tweed, wear it with a skinny tie and you are up to date.
