Learn How to Dress Like an Italian

Italian Men are synonymous with style. They have a sensibility that celebrates creativity and self-expression and they are not afraid to try something new. The Italians understand the importance of tailoring and craftsmanship and it is clearly evident in their everyday wardrobes. They respect the details, whether it's a perfectly wrapped scarf, printed pocket square or layered vest. From the style icons of the past, like Gianni Agnelli to modern times, see how Italian style has evolved over the years and how you can learn style secrets so you can Dress Like an Italian 

Don't Forget the Details

Adding personal touches is a hallmark of Italian Style. Luca Rubinacci pairs a high blue  sport coat with a causal henley and distressed jeans and adds in a fun colorful pocket square and rope belt. The mix of causal and tailored looks relaxed yet polished. 

The Tailor is Your Best Friend

Lapo Elkann, grandson of the OG Italian Style Icon, Gianni Agnelli pays tribute to his grandfather with a beautifully tailored suit. Make sure the break of the pants is perfect and the shoulder is fitted. It's the craftsmanship and tailoring that makes this seemingly simple suit standout. 

Load up on Layers

Italian men love to layer. Adding a vest to a sport coat - either under or over is a classic look and perfect for transitional temps. Just be sure to pick pieces in coordinating colors and complimentary silhouettes.
