Say what you will about many of Lapo Elkann's clothing choices, and I certainly have, but the white shirt, linen pocket square and navy blue satin necktie are all classics after 6 PM. Further, the suit's windowpane checked flannel is usually notch lapelled for day wear; his peak lapelled version is a bit of sprezzatura right out of Gianni Agnell's book. If only his necktie were pulled up into his collar...

And he either grew a real beard or shaved properly!
Hi Will,
Considering young master Lapo inherited his uncle's wardrobe, I'm pretty sure that IS Agnelli's suit:

The suit is, indeed, beautiful, but, for after 6, I think a dark blue or black button closure would be more appropriate, sensual & powerful-looking. In its current shade, the button makes the jacket look more appropriate for the country, mid-day.
Necktie skew-whiff another bit of sprezzatura?
His collar isn't buttoned.
From the neck upwards, he looks as though he has been sleeping rough: no doubt as a celebrity experiment: surrounded by guards he probably spent two nights on a bench in Central Park.

Or is it? Wasn't Agnelli's suit cut as a true three-button? Perhaps Mr. Elkann got his hands on some of the London Lounge cloth that was designed after Agnelli's original.
If you do a close side by side comparison the cut and pattern matching is identical--the lapels are just pressed differently. I know it's heresy to say, but quite often the only difference between a 3-2 and a "true 3 button" is pressing. I'm actually with Lapo on this one!
