On the Street.....Checks & Stripes, Milano
I love everything here, the stripe with the check - I'm not sure if it even "goes together" but when it looks this good why even ask.
I also really love the club collar shirt, so often they come off looking costumey but here it looks so natural.

post a commentWell, that's actually quite of this season...stripes and checks...yeah, looks pretty cool if you manage the colours properly...
O I love this ! Who cares if it 'goes together' ?
Because he wears it confidently, he makes it looks great !
my eyes will believe that everything he is wearing is in a shade of blue so that it's all about pattern contrast..be blue, be blue, be blue...
It`s all about additude and this guy means business! Great look!!
Great style, it looks so unforced. To use an old-fashioned word: natty!
Well... what I read is that as long as one of the colors in the check matches a color in the stripes you are in business, which he manages to do. It seems like the scale of the check and the stripe width are also good matches! Where was this taken? We are still in shorts and espadrilles here! Jorge from W Palm Beach
The club collar looks good although in this context it could be seen as an anachronism. My favorite thing about the look is that the presence of the casual quilted vest and his other things suggests (and it may not be true) that he might dress like this all the time- I can imagine that this is just another day's attire for him, which is a nice thought.
nice waistcoat!
mmm, perfect.
Hello You !
Nice photo...
The man is "lovely" for a woman...
Smile.
See You later...
The monochromatic palette lets the patterns be the whole story. They are also well scaled to one another. I almost think the shirt collar is one distraction too many, but it isn't fatal.
Such brio!
I think the colors and patterns work. They make the outfit interesting while still being tasteful.
I think that the vest could fit better. It seems to be pulling at the buttons in the middle. I suggest that he leave the bottom button on the vest undone.
I'm not a fan of the club collar shirt. It always makes me think of Peter Pan. I think that style of collar looks great on women and on young children, but for men I stick with straight, spread, button down, or tab collar styles.
club collar shirt is my thing too... in fact, that's what i wear at work often... i would have taken that vest off though.
Lovely pattern and colour mixing. The off-white puffer vest over his arm (I'm assuming he wore it in the morning when it was cooler) suggests that it's as in Milan as in parts of Canada right now...
This man has put himself together
nicely. the attention to detail and
the check/stripe is clever. However, well dressed this individual is, it dosent mean that it is really all that interesting. You can look at past posts and compaire to others who are dressed the same way. Not to say that fashion has to always be fresh, put being none compareable, such as the post below"pleated pants" is ideal.
I am just delighted that, in the middle of a global financial crisis with banks collapsing all over the place, we have a great time here discussing shirt collars, colors, textures ....just love it !!!
I love how menswear gives off a playful whimsy, with a little mismatch pairing with a tie and vest.
Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy. - Einstein
He knows. He looks great.
I would don his waistcoat on, is it me or are the clothes old men wear coming into fashion?
i absolutely adore your photos. how are you able to capture those moments??
feel free to check out my blog too

Thanks,
Joyce :)
wow he can pull it off easily
I do think that actually they go together...and i find it amazing to tell the truth =O!!
come to BUENOS AIRES!
he's great-looking. love everything here. he's a natural!
Why not, right? Clashing always signifies a strong fashion sense, anyway. Or at least a unique one!
There is something about Milanese Italian men and the way they dress that makes everything look good... even those things which were never meant to be worn together like stripe and check mix match!
...and some people say older people don't have style...
His look is pure perfection!
Perfect proportion, confusing combination.
it looks wonderful how inspiring
Caramba! que combinación más atrevida: cuadros y rayas pocos sutiles!
His attitude...he just pulls the look off so well (and isnt it usually the opposite? As you age, daring looks/mixing of patterns become harder to pull off...)...Wonderful Shot!
I never tough, that is going to be a good mach with check waistcoat and stripe tie
And he just went outside to buy a newspaper...
ELEGANCE!!
He looks great but please DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME.
Awwwwwww that vest is divine. Kudos old man.
xCC
this is a great outfit. your right the collar is amazing in this ensemble.
This is a gentleman with a little more swagger than my grandfather ever had.
I think one of the best things about this blog, aside from the wonderful photos, is that it underscores the notion that 'fashion' and 'looking good' is not limited to the 20-something individual.
One can proudly look great at any age!
haha yeah im digging the club collar
oh just amazing
I like it very much.
wow!
What about the jacket he has over his arm? Barbour or something? I would love to see that over his ensemble. Ca c'est bien, biensure.
One of your best pics ever
Great shot Sart
..
It seems alot of these milanese businessmen types are carrying a pile of stuff with them. That mess (the jacket, daily paper etc.) almost makes the actual look seem dandier. Ah yes, just going about my daily route, arms full of crap, looking fantastic as usual. like putting on that vest wasn't even a stretch for him. You're right sart, this is inspiration. My favorite photos are ones like this, ones that give off a very 'real' feel. This is accessible.
MMmm. not sure if managing the colour is the right word. I think a play on color based on seasonal themes and ones own personal persona and aesthetic could be more intriguing.Though this picture is very nice i think that its a classic take on men attire. Its a wonderful picture.A very Ralph Lauren or brooks brothers look.

I'm not the biggest fan of that vest because of the color, but I am in love with the collar. It complements his face somehwo....
REFRESHING TO SEE AN OLDER GENTLEMAN REMAIN SO STYLISH AND DARING (IF I MAY)
Absolutely. If some can rock it well, who cares if it "goes together"?
He looks charming. I like it!
Anything at all aesthetically pleasing does go together. Period.
:)
You have to give it to the italians, it's not all fashion but always style. I do belive an englishman would have unbuttoned the last button?
He's wonderful. He can wear whatever he likes but obviously has a knack doing it right.
fabulous!
Classy!
i didn't even notice the club collar until you pointed it out, that's how natural it looks.
he definitely pulls it off. and acts like he isn't even trying. 4 stars for him.
