5 fashion looks inspired by Italian menswear
Italy is a country of incomparable beauty: the food, the landscape and not to mention the fashion. Great fashion brands like Prada and Gucci come from Italy and stand for modern design. In this southern European country, fashion seems to be just as equally important for the men as it is for women. But what is their secret?
We’ve found five style ideas that will inspire and bring some Italian flair to your wardrobe.
Look #1: The classic Italian look
Okay, let’s start with a cliché: Italian men love a good suit jacket. But to give it that Italian flair, choose a jacket with a cool pattern, a shirt without a tie, chic pair of trousers, and of course loafers. With this look, you really can’t go wrong. And the nice thing is, you don’t need to buy a full three piece suit – all you need is a pair of chinos and a jacket!

A monochrome look is sometimes the easiest way to look put together. And in summertime, one of the best colors is a light beige or white. Consider a full beige-look and pair it with a cool bandana like Paolo Faccio.

Look #4: Streetstyle chic
Alessandro Squarzi is a name that you will find on almost every “best dressed” list, and not just in Italy! His go-tos are usually jeans, chambrey shirts, olive and green tones, and of course suede loafers. A cool outfit can sometimes just be about layering basic, yet versatile pieces. Here we see Alessandro combine his loose-fit jeans with a white t, a cool button-up, army jacket, and brown loafers. The result? A cool, but chic streetstyle look.
