Nicola-Ricci-The-Journal-of-Style-summerThey are bantamweight sizes but Valentino and Nicola Ricci throw punches like a heavyweight champ in matters of style.

I have often seen Valentino Ricci in subdued colours like blue, grey and brown, whereas Nicola Ricci has displayed bold colours. Last time in Florence was no exception. Valentino Ricci was in a double breasted lightweight houndstooth suit, a blue knit tie and brown suede shoes. Nicola Ricci sported a blue blazer, citron yellow trousers and oxblood captoes.

Once it was about the cut. The color scheme was for women.

Nowadays, men are free to explore colours. Not so many in a suit or sports jacket will do it though. They follow the safe route of yesterday.

In a way, it is stingy.  Why not delight the World with pleasant colours?

Nicola Ricci from Sciamat in brown, bottle green, blue (blue and green should be seen), purple, yellow, red and dove grey.
