Dressing is a bit like painting, when painting was about the beautiful. You should create a pleasing image with your garments and accessories. Adding a red splash can sometimes be the way to go.

Pitti Uomo Street Style
Where else other than Italy will you meet a refined combination of jacket-shirt-tie-handkerchief on a man with a liberal, intellectual hair style?
Pitti Uomo street style rules.

Sports Jacket Attire Numero Uno
First stop, when dressing down a business suit, should be a solid brown sports jacket in combination with midgrey flannel trousers, sky blue shirt, blue tie and brown shoes.
I had almost forgotten it. The elderly man in Pitti Uomo two days ago reminded me about the tradition, and just how bullet proof this particular sport jacket style is.
You might question the blue shirt and the blue tie but they are the whole point in my opinion: These colour tones are what you need to urbanize and to modernize your rustic old-fashioned tweed and flannel.
Try sports jacket attire numero uno.

A World of Cotton
There are lots of talk of wool, linen, and cashmere but truth is we live in a world of cotton. Why we do that I don’t know for sure. Production costs and regulations explain it partly. Cotton is also easy to clean. The larger fashion trend may influence the situation as well: Cotton crumples in a certain natural way meeting an informality that we like nowadays.

Adding Patterns
I spoke about balancing effects. Here’s another example. The palette is densely blue. To add some interest the man uses patterns in shirt, tie and hosiery, that is, stripes and foulards. Maybe he is overdoing it a little. Black shoes and no fancy glasses might have been better choices. Nonetheless I like it.
