This week I’m in Milano, and it’s already full-on summer here.
When I saw Luca for just a moment today, I was kinda surprised to see him in such a subdued color palette.
Even without his usual bold prints and dramatic pattern combination, Luca still looks great. The understated nature of his look actually helps to highlight the perfection of the Rubinacci cut and tailoring, details which are sometimes upstaged by Luca’s flair for color and pattern.

Despite the fact that I am a woman Luca Rubinacci is one of my number one sources of inspiration.
He inspires me to embrace colour instead of being slightly afraid of it as I was in the past.
It is funny to see him dressed this way, because this is the way I do it. Stripes, jewelry everything with details (taking little baby steps over here!).
So thank you very much for posting Scott. It shows that I am on the right track and keeps me motivated. Just like your blog always does.
Have a nice day.

I am sending this picture directly to my husband. This is how a man with a slender build should look in his suit at all times.
No matter how much I mention it and no matter how many examples I show him, he insists on wearing his suits just a little too big. I don't know what to do – it makes me want to scream!
(Plus I believe it reflects poorly on me as his wife.)
Thanks again for yet another example of how it can be done right. Thank you for helping me try to help him!
P.S.- Where are his cuffs? Do Italian men really wear short sleeve shirts? Say it ain't so!

How many men love the bracelets? I know I don't.
Perhaps more substantial bracelets would work but the ones he has on look plastic and cheap, and doesn't quite work to give the highly tailored suiting a casual air.
Mick
May 29, 2010 at 6:51 pm
mmmmmmm, it is a bit rock v dapper, he has to work in fashion, a shop in milan perhaps? not sure if most bosses would take to his look in your normal business type environment, but wouldn't it be great if they did!
again, in general, what i always see on the sartorialist is proud, stong and stylish men from all around the world. why is it that for most part, irish men are brutal when it comes to style. i really should have been born italian, french, londonish, new yorkish!
as always, such a buzz to pop in now and again and see what the rest of world are up too. thank you mr sartorialist for keeping this so alive!

As a guy, I never would have thought women would love the bracelet look so much. I shy away from jewelry myself… perhaps that's a bad thing.
I think what works here is his skin tone, the color of his facial hair, and his eyes. They work great with the colors in the tie and of the shirt.
I found myself telling my girlfriend I can't wait until I'm done losing my hair. I currently shave it but once it's all gone up top, I may go with this look.

Luca looks as dapper as always.
First let me comment on some earlier posts: Someone mentioned maybe he's wearing a short sleeved shirt; I think he just left the cuffs undone so they have peeled back. Classic "sprezzatura" touch. And then someone said "obviously he knows more about fashion than I do". I'd say it's style rather than fashion. The guy has it in his blood. 4th generation of the Rubinacci Tailoring house I believe.
But then some critique. The bracelets feel a bit old. When people in H&M and Zara suits starts wearing them it's time to switch to something new. Ok, that's fashion… I contradict myself.
