When it comes to new designs
and trends, Italians are the pioneers and trailblazers in the world of men's
fashion. Italian men have an innate ability to look as though they
intentionally put an outfit together, even when they didn't. They can walk into a McDonald's with a full
wool suit on and wouldn't look overdressed. It’s the art of trying
without looking like you tried.
You
don't often see shorts and a blazer in the states, but the combination just
screams Italian summer days. Shorts and a shirt give off a laid-back,
casual look, but the simple addition of a blazer transforms it into a whole
different look. While the casual nature of a tee and denim shorts on a
summer day give the outfit a “just thrown on” kind of vibe, the slim, clean
lines of the ensemble also suggest that you must have put some thought into the
final look. It makes the statement that,
although summer is all about being cool and comfortable, you refuse to dumb
down your style because Mother Nature dictates it.
