DRESS LIKE AN ITALIAN MAN

When it comes to mens suits, Italian men are the perfect role models for every man. They go to tailors right from their childhood so they know their style very well. So here is your step-by-step guide to look like a native of Rome or Positano.

Start with the right fit. The Italians take pride in wearing clothes that fit their shoulders and with dress pants that are sharp. The layers connecting the shoulders and sleeves of a shirt should always end where your shoulders and arms join. Anything lower than that is wrong-fitting. Shirts should stick to the body but not so skin-tight the buttons pop out.

The best thing is to have a tailor customized shirts, suits and pants. It could be costly but it will be worth the money you pay because you will end up buying less in the long run.

Learn to embrace colour. Try  injecting colour to your outfit in small doses. An orange belt with jeans and a white shirt or purple driving loafers with khakis and a navy blazer will bring a significant look.

Learn the art of the pocket square. There are not many options when it comes to men’s accessories (a watch, wedding band, tie and tie bar, and well-polished shoes). The most basic pocket squares are the white ones with a coloured border. It’s okay to match the colour of your pocket square with your tie, but since it is such a small piece of fabric you are free to go wild and pick something with a pattern or a lively colour. Folding a pocket square is a complex application especially if you go for the triangle peaks. The simplest way is to lay out a pocket square flat, pick it from the centre and stuff it into your jacket pocket.

Pick grown up accessories. Unless and until you’re going to the gym or ball game, trade in the ball hat for a Panama hat or a fedora or a newsboy cap. You’re a man now.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT SUMMER SUIT

As a first step, move away from black. There’s nothing more unsightly than a man in a black suit on any day this summer when everyone else is barely wearing anything.

If you look at what’s in stores right now, it’s all about colour. But while the neon yellow pants or the lavender suit might throw off many, there are plenty of other ways to look cool in the summer heat.

Khaki suits are the best to go this summer, especially if they are made from lightweight fabrics. You could go on full office style and wear one with a white shirt and a horizontal striped tie or you can keep it very much casual by wearing a T-shirt instead a dress shirt. But pick a tee that hugs your gym biceps just because you might end up removing the jacket in a crowded pool bar, which is the perfect place to show off your toned body.

Of course you can always go back to the classic navy suit. But choose one that is unlined and tailored using a comfortable fabric. Men’s suiting fabrics have become scientifically so advanced that you do not require padding and lining to retain a suit’s shape and fit.

You can also take a clothing hint from the Italians and wear pale coloured suits. When we consider wearing a men’s suit, fit is the most important. Go lean but not skeletal.
