Italian vibe: Three styles, three occasions

Cafes and bars have finally moved chairs and tables outside into the sun, with socialising and atmosphere at the centre. The Italian style imbued with a nonchalant sense of style that we gladly take inspiration from. We have collected three outfit combinations for three occasions that are characterised by Italian style.

A drink in town

The sun is shining, you meet an old friend for a chilled Negroni on a spring evening in May. Your houndstooth blazer from Kiton combines seamlessly with a pair of coffee-coloured chinos, matching in tone, which gives an earthy and Italian touch. The collar on the off-white linen shirt from Brunello Cucinelli gives the style a more relaxed feel when a slightly different collar would simply disappears. Sunglasses are not just the icing on the cake, but the finishing touch, and not least enable discreet people watching.

Lunch meeting

It is noon and it's time for a creamy pasta vongole at the lunch meeting. Perhaps you have important relationships to maintain and important decisions to make. Then you also have to radiate an awareness as confident as the clothes you wear. A blue tailored suit in luxurious wool signed by the Italian fabric producer Loro Piana is a great beginning. The patterned silk tie from E. Marinella and the hand-stitched shirt from Finamore Napoli add extra finesse to the style.

Sunday stroll

The following outfit is a somewhat more relaxed style, perfect for warm days in the city. A dark blue knitted pullover and linen shorts in olive green gives a sense of the best Italian style offers. Building a wardrobe that includes earthy and warm colours such as olive green, light blue, dark blue and brown gives you many options. Often these colours go hand in hand and you have many variations with few pieces available to put your personal touch on your outfit. These colours are experienced even better in bright sunlight, if you compare, for example, with more monochrome colours such as black and grey.
