When someone refers to Italian style, perhaps you visualize loud eye-catching aesthetics? The everyday Italian style language represents a very different tone. Even in everyday life, the Italian style focus emphasizes high quality materials, good fit and soft visual harmonies. All brought together in compositions that catch the attention of the world around you as it exudes confidence and an innate sense of style. The colour palette creates low contrast harmonies with accents like muted shades of burgundy and forest green. All together creating a sophisticated expression. Let Italian everyday-elegance inspire your work wardrobe.
Cuccinelli - Washed Fabrics and Off White
The field jacket is a central part of Italian everyday elegance. Here a washed cotton laid-back model worn over a knitted polo whose colour brings the ensemble to life. Offwhite trousers are another hallmark of Italian style. Alongside the washed texture of the jacket, the soft harmony creates a sense of refined style.
Giorgio Armani - Layered, Tone on Tone
To layer knitted garments tone on tone is another Italian speciality, that is both comfortable to wear as well as it is giving a highly well-dressed impression. Layered collars form an interesting focal point denotes the style. Seersucker is a light summery fabric, often seen in stripes of pale blue and white. In dark shades of navy, the fabric gives a more business-like impression to the suit, and the texture adds an interesting touch along with the layered garments. With this combination you leave the days of navy business-suit armours behind in favour of suave tailored layes worn with confidence.
Brioni - Low Contrast Italian Flair
A field jacket in a more tailored style and muted, saturated colour gives a deep premium-feeling along with the accentuated pockets of the garment. The upper part of the ensemble is worn tone-on-tone with an olive knitted sweater, whose texture adds depth and integrity to the mix. The collar of the polo shirt peeks out, worn slightly carelessly messy. Putty-coloured drawstring trouser with pressed creases complete the somewhat army-inspired look.
