That he definitely is.

Can I say the light is just wonderful? I do love shooting at shows because of the light, I have to say.

He has good ankles. I suppose that helps.

Chic but a little too serious !! :-)

Love this! So simple yet so extremely elegant and sexy.

loeve the trousers.
I think if I were wearing that (and if I were a man!), I would be a bit happier than he looks!

I quite like the no sock look, but I personally HATE how it feels. I wonder how people do it all day!

Very unconventional choice, not wearing any socks!
But chic nonetheless!!

Mr Tonchi always looks dapper – very pleasing on the eye.
I also like the lady in the picture too, is she Joanna Coles? simple and chic, and loving the bag!

cute as a button, pinch his lil cheeks! ox

That girl sat behind him taking notes looks cute..

first

yay, first to comment…again. Anyway, did you simply put this up because he's not wearing any socks? Because other than that, he seems pretty average. Oh, and I think he'd look loads better if he had some dark socks on.

No socks with dress shoes (and sneakers) is such a pet peeve of mine >_< Why would such a fashionable man do that?

yum

Is that chic?

Scott, what show is he watching? He doesn't appear to be liking it very much (face & body language-crossed arms)…Hmmmm, penny for his thoughts.

How it should be done!!!!

.. love it all, he looks great … could argue too great … but still … suit, loafers, tie, hair, crossed legs, good ankles … good package, even the "pose"

I would never wear my business attire to the beach. It would be hot, sand would get in my heels…
Nor would I forget my socks with my business attire. The suit's fabric is beautiful. I would like to reach out and rub it between my thumb and forefingers. The "hip" sockless vibe doesn't seem to lend the proper respect that the fine fabric deserves

Why does everyone assume he isn't wearing socks?

I would bet cash money that with those lovely shoes he is indeed wearing socks. I show ankle all the time and I wear "no show" cotton blend socks. I would never dream of going sock-less in a pair of expensive shoes.

Gentlemanly perfection.. nuff said!

Angels Point of View

His crossed leg reveals why sockless is not a choice for business attire.
I'd rather not be forced to observe whether a male colleague's shins are hairy, hairless, shaved, wrinkled, freckled, whatever.
TMI.

The no socks look doesn't seem to fit tis fine business suit. Perhaps if the sit were a lighter color, a different fabric, and outdoors.

Otherwise, he strikes me as showing too much leg, even though he seems to shave. ;)

Stefano! You look like a prince! A prince with no socks. With shoes like that, who needs socks?

sock-less and chic!

Where in the world is it hot enough to leave the sock drawer untouched mid-October? I want a plane ticket to there.

He looks very serious!
I love her dress and moccasins worn barefoot, so elegant!

great class

what a elegant man! wow!

Fantastico! Muy chic!

Bespoke personified. Simply chic.

Big fan of the no-socks trend; just compare to the gentleman next to him, their suits are somewhat similar but he's wearing socks and that somehow defaltes the chic factor.

He REALLY needs some nice socks.

I lvoe the "classic-fresh" style of this genius….. AN dabout this pic I think that his legs and the complex images of them without socks and the beautiful shoes is amazing!!!

That's so MJ. But no socks, original :)

so elegant and well groomed.
suit is beautifully made..right down to the buttoned cuffs.
the look is perfection for the fashion industry.
the no socks might not work as well on wall street.

One button cuff on the jacket looks awesome.

No socks? Yeah! Looking as cool as he does, he totally pulls it off!

.. good point, look at the man next to him … certainly not interesting … or chic … and P.S. I find today that good shoes made with good leather interiors are no problem without socks .. no blisters

I think only one other person noticed that the pockets are rather casual? Notice how they're interestingly oversized versus the smaller lapels?

"Pretty" ankles and knows it …this kind of vanity in a man is unbecoming.

Love everything except the fact that he is not wearing socks.

too feminine, unless that's what you meant by "chic"

He's got the look but it's all about his body language – crossed arms, crossed legs, crossed expression – all leave me cold. In my opinion, it takes more than beautiful clothes to make style.

So stern a look can only come from feet perspiring in very expensive shoes.

It all resides in the look of either contempt or extreme interest…

this bro has some wicked ankles

he's got it!

Am I the only one put off by the amount of ankle in this shot? Sorry..

o this is chic only i dont realy like the color grey i prefer black but this looks nice to. and no socks kind of cool :)

one thing i noticed the handkerchief in one of the pockets is square instead of triangler or is that normal? just wondering.

So so chic ! I love the shoes.

Looks like he's trying too hard, so it doesn't work for me. No rules to originality and fashion, true, but whatever you do, it has to look effortless, otherwise, it's not really coming from within…

I know its been a trend for ages, but I still find the male ankle flash a complete turn off.

I can't help feeling that no-socks is a Fifth Avenue version of the resurgent Top-Sider fad. It attempts to imply a kind of breezy nonchalance, but is in fact neither breezy nor nonchalant. Like the mall kids or faux-hipsters in Top-Siders, it doesn't communicate much of anything except to verify the fact that, yes indeed, here's someone doing the no-socks thing (with apologies to the guy in this photo, who at least seems confident with himself and is giving it a try). Now if they were ultra-subtle velvet slip-ons, we'd be on to something!

Give this guy some socks!

I don't know what is it about italian grown up men in suit wearing sockless loafers. They look very smart until you get to their feet. Is like they got dressed in the dark or forgot about something this morning. And as far as I can observe, only italians do it. Is that then the ultimate trend? Aren't your feet cold in winter guys?

I think he's a little off the mark going sockless. Also, his necktie is a bit bland. I'd expect a little more.

Why can't grown men remember to put on socks? Bare feet are the ultimate insult to beautiful shoes.

No socks? I don't get it. Of course I don't get baseball or Kangol hats worn backwards, dropped crotch pants, droopy drawers either. They all look stupid.

No socks looks nice during the summer. But for the fall… uh… I just don't know… a bit too trendy for me.

Love his suit, but I think his lapels are too slim. It just looks odd.

But I am in love with his shoes.

don't like the shoes. they're boring. nice suit though

shows were not good . There are also more tips in this mycouponbasket.com. I personally get my coupons online, it is much more convenient and ever best.

SECRET SOCKS? Let's give credit where it's due; Style Icon Stefano Tonchi is a well-put-together man!

People don't wear socks in Milan.

To me this looks utterly boring.
The suit seems of excellent material and I'd even go with the colour, but the tie kills everything.
The only thing worse dressed than him is the man sitting to the right. He was thinking, you can't go wrong with grey and stripes, right. Right?
Btw he's not barefoot, he's wearing shoeliners that show in the picture (unless I'm wrong)
…
Business speaking, men are very scared to experiment and think that boring is stylish.

But I love the woman to the left, her handbag is great and I would like to see her shoes.

Nice outfit! Not the best choice of shoes though…the lack of socks not such a great idea for a business outfit..but I guess he simply can't get enough of his own ankles!

ooh, dang. those pants.

No socks is great look. You can have it all year long and with confort by buing very tiny an invisible socks made for men like the ones women use to wear. You can find them at Galleries Lafayette in Paris.
