The Sartorialist

I'm kind of digging the more formal, tailored outfit with a casual shoe. It gets a TCS stamp of approval! Haha.

Can you get any better than this?!

i love their use of colour and the paired down shoes. really striking. xx

They always keep it interesting with an unexpected touch, a splash of color, or an unusual accessory.

I love the guy on the right, in the dark suit. He always looks amazing, and I love his shoes. Sockless, yes. Is that suit silk?

wow! love it!!

The unbuttoned button down caught my eye first, then the teal jacket (what a gorgeous color!) & pocket squares then the treat of all treats, the sockless foot in the rust suede Belgian with electric blue piping and a bit of mud or dust on the toe! What insouciance (or whatever the Italian translation of that term may be.) Thanks for this post, your site often makes my day and today it has brought a smile a mile wide to my face. You truly get it…& know how to capture it. Keep up the good work.

love the blue trim on luco's shoees

Not the sockless and wearing bedroom slippers look………….

Perfection, and perfection!
Both ties appear to be silk knits.
Gentleman in spectacular green blazer wears his button-down collar unbuttoned. I'm all for that.

American men please take note:
Pocket squares are critical to looking finished, regardless how dressed up or down. Notice how they augment the clothes.

If your jacket/blazer has a breast pocket, put a silk square in it. How hard can that be?
Both these gents have avoided matchy-watchy colors. That is the height of sophistication.

You know? I wish my dad would dress like that.

The Rubinacci are gods of italian menswear. Period. But what strikes me are the little diferences between generations. Both have genuine italian style, even sprezzatura, but it's awesome to see the slightly narrower trousers and the colorful bracelets on luca, as well as a slimmer jacket and edgier loafers.
This photo is an instant classic.
Congratulations.

the suit on the right is incredibly perfect!!

I would wear those brown and blue shoes in a forest-just imagine them against a background of dead leaves.

Best looking father & son 2010.

That suit fits perfectly. And the guy on the left reminds me of Phil Silvers!

I wonder if it's a father son thing like, "dad, I'll make your clothes and you'll make mine"… I really love them both and the fabric in Luca's suit is superb, one of the nicest shades of brown i've seen in a very long time, it makes the blue/mustard combo look sharp and crisp. I wish I wore the same size as him and I could get all the stuff he doesn't want anymore. :D

the shoes are GREAT!

No sock?!?!?!

Refreshing. So not-American. No comb-overs or baseball caps.

Oh knitted ties! Very nice.

Both so chic and beautiful.

Epitome of classical elegance!(with a modern touch)

absolutely delicious.

Except…. Belgian Loafers with that gorgeous suit?
No! NO! Noooooo!

Plus, a touch of shoe polish is in order.

Otherwise, Perfecto!

absolutely love these men! they look so intelligent and they dress beautifully!
i love your blog

Amazing picture of two different generations..it's nice to see that despite wearing almost the same look, Luca's version seems to be on the slimmer side of things (tie, suit pants and the jacket itself).

Beyond Fabric

Like father, like son! Excellent — I love it when people are such great ambassadors for their brand!

Very nice colors in this photo. Even the skin tan goes with the background colors. Il love the ties with the blue shirt. And the mocassins ! In fact, everything. The suits are perfect, and the composition too. Beautifull pic.

I was in Milan two weeks ago and paradoxically I saw more older women than younger ones who were really well dressed. I was amazed that in this world’s main fashion influential cities the street fashion is so “usual”, I mean local young people. It seems that regular jeans, t-shirts and sneakers are their everyday outfit.

I'm sorry, the green killed this picture. The green just isn't quite right. I'm sorry if this offends anybody. It just isn't. Maybe it's the contrasting style shown from the amazing piece on the left. But the green just ruined the photo.

The best Italians have so much style! I love the fact that they are dressed so smartly…but without socks! Tres chic!!!

To above inquiring feet, Luca's shoes are Rubinacci's (http://tinyurl.com/36sjrnw). He is rubinacci – He wears Rubinacci, nothing else!

I thoroughly applaud any man who is this confidently bringing back the suit!

i love the loafers on the right!
they're so luxurious looking,
and somehow remind me of "lo son l'amour,"
or,
"i am love."
…which makes sense,
since they are in milano.

Please,may I hand out your photos of chic,elegant men on the street here?The men here, are in desperate need of a Sartorial Tutorial.Wonderful photo.

Yes, the more casual shoe thing continues. I am really growing to like this look. Is fairly amazing that one would wear such casual shoes with outfits such as these men are wearing, but it works. I am in love with the "matching" suit and intrigued by the other. I love the dark green linen jacket, so very beautiful. I not so sure I like the mix of the blue and green, but what the heck?
It doesn't matter, they are both so well put together. Great background colors too.

A question for you sartorialists…

What is your opinion on ideal jacket/blazer length? Of course these jackets are cut differently for the two individuals, but there is a significant difference in the length, relative the proportions of their bodies. The older gentleman's jacket clearly passes his rear. While the younger man's jacket seems to be cut well above. Of course individual style would suggest that neither is wrong, but I am curious to hear what might be considered correct and/or proper.

Any thoughts???

Thanks

Bellissimi! The Belgian shoes! 55th? bet. Park and Madison across from Drake Swisshotel. Pocket squares are key! Both looks are great, nice to see knit ties appearing again.
