What to do, when the summer wardrobe is already full of linen, cotton, hopsack and fresco jackets? You can keep adding summer jackets in the same classic and safe style, or you can try something new.
A jacket in light grey raw silk could be an option, if you decide to follow an adventurous track. A more modern and soft solution would be an unlined jacket in cream marcella or piqué cotton.
Notice the fine shoulder area and fit of the light grey jacket.

50 years ago dressing was a serious activity. Your position in society was at stake, when you were tying your tie in the morning.
Nowadays, position and dressing seem weakly related. Position has become more about personality and less about appearance and clothing.
It doesn’t have to be a bad change. It means that dressing has been set free from a social pressure. Today we can dress for pleasure and fun.

If there was such a thing like permanent or eternal style, a blue odd jacket paired with grey trousers would be a part of it. It doesn’t mean that the configuration leads to a succes automatically. Cloth and cut are important as well as shoes and accessories to the result. Some gentlemen master the configuration better than others.

A new batch of photos from Pitti Uomo. Like last year, many wore blue suits or blue odd jackets, maybe too many?
To be fair, quite a few sported cream, light grey or brown dress, and, of course, some were in red jackets or red suits.
