Blog 1 Italian Style the English Way

Blog #1: Italian Style the English Way Renowned the world over for their elegance and beauty, Italian women frequently feature in lists of who to lust after. Yet Italian men hold as much glamour and grace as their feminine counterparts when it comes to stylish dressing.Arguably, the two international centres of excellently made, exquisitely tailored suiting are here in the UK, in Savile Row, and in the numerous cloth houses in Italy. Each catering for quite a different clientele, both still succeed in producing fabulous menswear for the discerning chap-about-town. And if you're the sort of chap who likes to wear his suits with less English stiff-upper-lip and more sunny exuberance, then Italian companies like Canali, Brioni and Corneliani are the place to start.Like their English equivalents, the pure detail and craftsmanship that goes towards making their menswear is down to a large part in the pride imparted to the ‘Made in Italy' label. For Canali, this means specialised workshops in, and fabrics all from, Italy itself; for Corneliani, it's inspiration from their architectural and design surroundings. Brioni, whose experimental work with fabrics and colours creates items like the bronze polished linen dinner jacket, has in turn dressed stars like Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and Richard Gere: all men of undoubtedly impeccable taste.Italian style has elements of classical styling, but generally tends towards a leaner, trimmer silhouette. Like the relaxed ambience of a cosmopolitan café, suit styles give off an air of restrained sophistication through their deployment of softer garment shapes.The 1950s saw a boom in the popularity of Italian fashion, including menswear, and the iconic look of this time is one that has remained at the heart of its design: the cut of the jacket to emphasis broad shoulders, a slimmed waist, and the overall lines to create a confident, ‘tall' form.Layered onto this are the subtle details each season brings. Retaining the classic elements, Canali has introduced waistcoats with lower-cut fronts, displaying more of a crisp shirt and well-knotted tie. The retro-styled, peaked lapels are an injection of a generally more American-English look, combined with fabrics with traditional English texture - such as plaids and checks - but in lighter European materials. However, the preppy, boyish charm of the Spring-Summer collection remains firmly Italian in their elegant use of small details like accentuated seams and roomy pockets, as well as popping colour and innovative print combinations. Canali is a brand for men who wouldn't think twice about mixing classic English and new Italian style: think donning a cheeky straw boater while enjoying a ‘gelato' in Venice.On the flip side, and one that the girls always remember, is the ubiquitous seductive Italian style found in Corneliani's Spring-Summer range. More suited to lazy, warm Neapolitan nights, the rounded lines of this range's lapels and looser cut sleeves accentuate the luxurious nature of their fabric choices. Idiosyncratic details like a lapelled waistcoat and double flap pockets add interest to these pieces, revelling in the sheen and weave quality that add so much and reveal such good quality. Without a doubt, Corneliani's double-breasted jackets are things of beauty - tapping directly into a revival in old-school styling yet remaining firmly contemporary.Of course, there's no reason to dress in a suit all the time - although, why wouldn't you want to when they're this good? Brioni's style inherent throughout their range of formalwear is continued in their more casual collection, with individual pieces subtly glamorous whilst still being wearable. As well as their exciting pastel and paisley designs found in the Spring-Summer collection, their collection of relaxed knitwear and outerwear adds an edge normally only found in younger, international designers. Using leather and silk in soft, putty shades for blouson and Prince of Wales jackets, Brioni nods to current trends without overpowering the focus of the outfit: the individual.With the true British summer approaching fast, or at least the hope of summer, Italian style is something to be seen in. It celebrates luxury, ease, and above all, it exudes confidence. Perfect for casual or formal celebrations, summer weddings or even just being seen whilst sipping an espresso, Italian menswear should be your first port of call in a quest for eternally stylish, contemporary dressing.Eleanor Snare
