Well, that’s actually quite of this season…stripes and checks…yeah, looks pretty cool if you manage the colours properly…

my eyes will believe that everything he is wearing is in a shade of blue so that it’s all about pattern contrast..be blue, be blue, be blue…

Great style, it looks so unforced. To use an old-fashioned word: natty!

The club collar looks good although in this context it could be seen as an anachronism. My favorite thing about the look is that the presence of the casual quilted vest and his other things suggests (and it may not be true) that he might dress like this all the time- I can imagine that this is just another day’s attire for him, which is a nice thought.

mmm, perfect.

The monochromatic palette lets the patterns be the whole story. They are also well scaled to one another. I almost think the shirt collar is one distraction too many, but it isn’t fatal.

Such brio!

club collar shirt is my thing too… in fact, that’s what i wear at work often… i would have taken that vest off though.

This man has put himself together
nicely. the attention to detail and
the check/stripe is clever. However, well dressed this individual is, it dosent mean that it is really all that interesting. You can look at past posts and compaire to others who are dressed the same way. Not to say that fashion has to always be fresh, put being none compareable, such as the post below”pleated pants” is ideal.

I love how menswear gives off a playful whimsy, with a little mismatch pairing with a tie and vest.

I would don his waistcoat on, is it me or are the clothes old men wear coming into fashion?

wow he can pull it off easily
I do think that actually they go together…and i find it amazing to tell the truth =O!!

he’s great-looking. love everything here. he’s a natural!

There is something about Milanese Italian men and the way they dress that makes everything look good… even those things which were never meant to be worn together like stripe and check mix match!

Perfect proportion, confusing combination.

Caramba! que combinación más atrevida: cuadros y rayas pocos sutiles!

I never tough, that is going to be a good mach with check waistcoat and stripe tie

ELEGANCE!!

Awwwwwww that vest is divine. Kudos old man.

xCC

This is a gentleman with a little more swagger than my grandfather ever had.

haha yeah im digging the club collar

I like it very much.

What about the jacket he has over his arm? Barbour or something? I would love to see that over his ensemble. Ca c’est bien, biensure.

It seems alot of these milanese businessmen types are carrying a pile of stuff with them. That mess (the jacket, daily paper etc.) almost makes the actual look seem dandier. Ah yes, just going about my daily route, arms full of crap, looking fantastic as usual. like putting on that vest wasn’t even a stretch for him. You’re right sart, this is inspiration. My favorite photos are ones like this, ones that give off a very ‘real’ feel. This is accessible.

I’m not the biggest fan of that vest because of the color, but I am in love with the collar. It complements his face somehwo….

Absolutely. If some can rock it well, who cares if it “goes together”?

He looks charming. I like it!

You have to give it to the italians, it’s not all fashion but always style. I do belive an englishman would have unbuttoned the last button?

fabulous!

i didn’t even notice the club collar until you pointed it out, that’s how natural it looks.

i have just got a white club collar shirt..love it….anyway who cares if stripe and check dont go tougrther..i think this is a great look
