Spezzato

It's going to be a scorcher outside today but our hottie begins the week with a gorgeous selection of cream colored slacks and tie paired with a robin's egg blue dress shirt. Professional yet summery. Suitable for the office as well as an after-hours event. Touché Mr. Monday!

Spezzato is the Italian art of sartorial mismatching. An especially appropriate art form during these warm summer months when we're attending various cocktail parties, outdoor bashes, or those perennial fundraising events in Ptown. The gentlemen below display various forms of Spezzato, but we want to highlight the gent on the right as he's mastered the art form to perfection.

Notice how well his yellow pants pair with a cream jacket and striped shirt, accentuated by a gorgeous violet tie and rainbow hued pocket square. Bellissimo!

So gentlemen, when aiming for Spezzato remember that subtlety will come across as a more handsome look than day-glow colors. And you'll also appear far more interesting!
