After a week of praise for tweed, we return to earth. The blue palette in the photo of Lamborghini CEO Stefan Winkelmann is typical of worsted dressing, in Mr. Winkelmann's case enlivened only by the some of the tallest shirt collars in the western world.
The limited work week palette means we must use other elements to maintain interest in appropriate dress during the work week. Shirt collars aside, there are only so many ways to wear a blue or gray suit with black shoes, blue shirt, white linen handkerchief and a necktie with a blue or gray ground. And that's why texture is so important.
As another auto magnate, the late Gianni Agnelli, taught us, knit silk, linen and cashmere neckties add visual variety without straying from the appropriate.
That's how to come back to worsteds.

Are his cuffs undone, or am I missing something?
He looks very "seventies" to me.
IMHO the collar, tie knoth and undone cuffs scream ... tacky
i like his shirt, if maybe. good luck selling cars.
Overall, it is the classic business look in Italy. It's a great look, IMHO...
Details like his unbuttoned shirt cuffs, and a shirt collar not in proportion with his face aside, I think he seriously needs to cut back those side-burns to a more respectable length.
You can't go wrong with this look, especially in Europe. It is very common here at the upper levels, but I never find it boring.
Hold on! I just noticed the two-buttons in the collar...No! That will not do... Those collars were pushed by the Italian manufacturers several years ago. They even got to three vertical buttons! Yes, Italians dress better on the whole, but they do have their share of errors.
Another gentleman who ties his tie with the double dimple. Good stuff!
