This thread is for the well dressed man and those seeking to improve their dress by exploring colors, patterns, textures and other styles while appearing more mature, elegant and refined.
>What is “sprezzatura”?
Required viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QG4lTMjWtY
Required reading: https://parisiangentleman.co.uk/2017/02/24/how-obsession-with-sprezzatura-can-kill-the-sprezzatura/
>Do I have to be European to wear this style?
Absolutely not. Anyone can wear this as long as they are confident and don’t care what people think. You should be dressing for yourself, not for others. Is this style more common in Italy and other Mediterranean countries? Absolutely. But you could wear this wherever you are.
>How is this different than Trad/Ivy/Prep?
Whereas the /TIP/ threads favor classic styles and tailoring, wider fits and more drape, Mediterranean and modern menswear favors slimmer cuts, tailored closer to the body to accentuate and flatter your body. Slim fit is allowed and in many cases encouraged.
>Where should I start?
Start with sport coats and mix and match with trousers. Experiment with colors and patterns. Don’t be afraid of color. This isn’t business style, where bland conformity is the norm. We want to be colorful, and experiment with fabrics. Wear linen, wool, cotton, anything you want.

I’m going to have a cotton suit made very similar to that one in the OP. Unstructured, relatively slim, good 8-9cm lapels patch pockets, preferably unlined and canvassed where it might need to be.
Any tips on choosing the fabric? Despite it being a summer suit, it still needs some weight if it is to be worn without a lining. Should I go for pleated trousers, considering that cotton trousers don’t keep a crease unless starched, which would defeat the purpose?

Are you planning on it being a strictly summer suit? If so, consider linen, for maximum breathability and comfort. Have you considered seersucker? I know it's a pretty bold fabric, but I can't wait to get a seersucker jacket made.
I general, I think pleats just look better. You can always press them if the crease starts to fade

I already have a linen sports coat and a worsted wool 3-season suit, so the natural next step would be getting a cotton suit for the summer. Linen probably is superior, but I do want to see how cotton compares.
>seersucker
On a sports coat I can see it working, but it would end up looking pretty horrible on a suit. It is probably quite difficult to find the fabric itself, I have never seen it for sale even in Europe.
>You can always press them if the crease starts to fade
They still last for like 3 wears even if you don’t wash the trousers. Maybe if you are a twink and have small thighs it can work, but in my experience it is pointless, specially considering that ironing them at home does not seem to to bring back the creasing. Overall I am rather inclined to have it done with double pleats.

>> No.15442320

Going to see my tailor today for a new suit. Cannot decide if I want a navy one or go for a lighter shade of blue. I already have a grey suit and a suit is not at all mandatory for my work.
A lighter shade could be more fun buy getting the staples would be good.

>> No.15442324

Is it charcoal grey or light grey? Personally I would get the lighter one because you can wear it basically anywhere without looking odd.

Important to remember is that this is not "formal attire". At least, it's not strictly. It can encompass formal attire, but just because you're wearing trousers, a dress shirt, or a jacket, does not mean that it's formal attire.

While this may be common knowledge in europe, this isn't so in North America. In most places in America (even major cities), showing up in a sport coat to hang out with friends would have people asking why you're so "dressed up" or if you're going anywhere after this.

Naw, this is what we're not going to do. I'm all for dressing well, wearing button downs and summer sport coats in casual settings -- but /sprezz/ is not going to become a place of elitism or thinking that dressing like this makes you any better than anyone else.

I will agree that people do feel threatened and insecure around a person in a sport coat. As a person living in North America, it's very obvious. I live in a major city, and even when I go to hang out with friends if I wear a sport jacket, I'll get comments on it. Some will be genuine compliments about looking good that we all exchange with each other, but there will always be a few of the men that ALWAYS bring up how "adult" or "dressy" I look. Meanwhile they're sitting there literally wearing a t-shirt from a brewery.

The comments stating how "adult" something is always get me. They're unknowingly implying that what they have on is for children -- making fun of themselves even though I would never.

I think it may be a holdover from Boomer style and a rejection of it. Gen X rebelled against their parents, the boomers. And Boomers wore suits to every occasion. This then passed down onto us, Millennials and Gen Z -- who see Boomer style on television, but reject they're way of life since boomers can go fuck themselves.

If this isnt bait, I will tell you what I don't like about thi fit.
The burberry-esque trench coat is somewhat out of fashion in tip/sprezz settings, being more associated with casual fits. A overcoat/paletot made out of thick wool would be much more appropiate, but this is a rather minute criticism, as it is a question of trends. My main issue with it is that it simply does no fit you. It is big at the shoulders, at the arms and likely at the torso.
I don't like the shirt pattern. It is not as serious as a solid shirt but is not as laid back as other patterns. Windowpane in general has this weird effect and it is further accentuated by the lack of color. Looks very boomerish and outdated in general. 1980s-90s outdated.
The jacket is fine, but it is simply not to my taste. I do wonder why you are using a pocket square with a trench coat, though, specially considering that the color of the fabric is very similar to the tie, which is a no-no. The tie itself is too tidy and cleanly knotted, I really hope it isn't pre-tied. Also, that bullshit with the color will never look good. It CAN be interesting with a non-button collar overlapping the jacket because it may look accidental, but this is very obvious that you just wanted to make it look odd.

If anything I would avoid black unless its a tuxedo. Make sure that is appropriate for the wedding dresscode however.
In any case a check is very casual compared to black so.. What is the dress code?

>> No.15443907

>>15443870
Black suit with with bowtie, preferably one of the "butterfly" shape.
>maybe one of those sweet smoking jackets?
Without knowing anything about the wedding, that is what I would recommend. The standard dress for weddings in North America is black tie (which is incorrect, but whatever), which is comprised of a dinner jacket, pleated shirt, cummerband or vest, matching trousers and bowtie. Traditionally these are black or midnight blue, but if you follow most of the rules and have a good fit, you can experiment with more interesting ideas such as dark green, blue or red velvet jackets and maybe intentionally ignoring a rule or two.
If it isn't black tie/black tie optional dress code, it is somewhat of a gamble. If it is during the day, considering that we are in the middle of summer, the grey one might be interesting. I would avoid the "trump suit" as it looks very business-like, and that is not something you want to project on a wedding. Oh, whatever you do, do not pick a grey/silver tie, those are exclusive to the groom.

Are you American because that is one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read.
Maybe 30 years ago, yeah. But nowadays a regular suit is the norm with the the groom usually opting for a fun color and the groomsmen wearing a different color. No one gets married in black tie anymore. Hell, I got married in a navy suit, my brother in a grey suit, a friend of mine in a blue suit and another friend in no suit, just a vest.

In that case do not wear a black suit with a bowtie. Guaranteed you will look out of place and probably be the only one dressed like that. Unless told to dress that way, don't.

Loafers are basically the default for this style. If the rest of your outfit is good then looking like a Saudi price will be no issue.
If you're not wearing loafers than you're pretty much stuck wearing oxfords/derbies unless you wear sneakers.
Loafers just hit that sweet spot of looking good but not being too formal like oxfords, but not being straight up casual like sneakers.
If you think they're too formal, look into a pair in suede, which is way more casual than calf

These cheap adjustable shoe stretchers worked great for me. Just make them tight and let them sit in the shoes for a week. If you need to soften the leather, (I know this sounds crazy) try to kneed it or alternatively put a thick towel around the shoes, then take a hammer and beat the shit out of them for 30 mins or so. I'm not joking. It can really make the leather more pliable, just make sure to not beat on them without the towel to protect the surface and focus on the spots that give you trouble.

You can maybe *try* buying an unstructured jacket off the peg and having a tailor mess up the shoulder a bit for you. If you do this make sure of two things - there is enough room around the chest when the armhole is shrunk, and that the armhole is also roomy enough to take in material. Disclaimer, I’ve never tried this, but it should be possible.

Loafers fill that sweet spot between casual and formal. You can easily wear loafers with jeans and a shirt
Start small. Instead of a t-shirt wear a button shirt. Start tucking it in, switch jeans for chinos, etc. Small adjustments first until you've created a style you're comfortable in

Dont need to go full sprezz. But if you want to wear dress shoes and not look like a clown you will need to improve your wardrobe.

In general stick to loafers for now. If you go with colored ones (green/blue/red) you can more or less get away with anything as long as the shoes arent too "out there" compared to the rest of the clothes. E.g. Blue shoes with bright neon pink clothing.
