How To Wear A Blazer

How to wear a blazer? Tan monkstrap shoes, mid-gray flannel trousers, striped shirt, foulard necktie and a pocket square that picks up some minor element in the tie or shirt. Luciano Barbera conducts today's lesson.

Err...why does he look like he wants to beat you with one of those monkstraps?

Will, the paparazzo, catches his prey and they are clearly not amused.

Colors, patterns, and texture (so far as you can see the texture)all look good, but for Pete's sake man; stand up straight, button your jacket, and reset that tie so it's not two inches past your belt.

If he were standing up straight, I think the tie would be where it belongs. Admittedly the man is well up in years but still, I know he can stand straighter than that.

Or how to wear a red checked blue jacket? That's four patterns on one body, quite impressive.

If Luciano Barbera' s preferred tie length hides his belt buckle, perhaps you should start giving thoughts to what you consider to be the proper length.

Mmh, I can't say that I am particularly impressed...

Will said...

That is the point, isn't it?

Talk about picking pepper out of fly poop. This is Luciano Barbera, maybe he he was just feeling tired that day a condition not completely unknown to most of us. His tie was too long....wow a hanging offense. He looks fine as ever....sprezzatura lives.
