Italian Men Dresses The Best!
I feel besides French men, Italian men rule when it comes to expressing sartorial styles, often injected with a slight surprise factor. Be it in colours (as seen in brightly hue pants with a classic mens coloured ensemble) or unusual combinations of 'clashing' styles that match (Blazers and camouflage shorts!) or dashing display of male debonair (classic double breasted jackets). I love to see those Italians in action in person someday soon!
Are you inspired?
(BTW, did you notice a common trend in almost all the pics? Anyone can tell me?)
