post a commentWhen did short pants come back?
Mr Ricci dresses impeccably. At first glance he appears rather conservative but it's all the deatils, those beautifully polished shoes, the windowpane check suit and brown tie, his perfectly trimmed sideburns. such elegant style, lovely to see first thing on a monday morning!
That length of pant is so chic! Especially with those shoes...
Yowwwwzurrrr!
Love the windowpane plaid suit, as well as the brown and blue combination.
~stylethread.com
i like it, looks classic!
like the photos, I have asked the ankle beater question also, when did this style come back?
Top photo - extended crease and drape of the tie is right on. Soft jacket (notice the lapel) is great. Bespoke?
Bottom photo - I'm now completely sold on the wider Italian cuff. Slim trousers, yes. Creates a proportional line.
Dandy Mr.Valentino Ricci.
The epitome of masculinity.
I love the balance of classic and trend his clothing achieves..the suit and coat, the thinner pant leg with cuff and hemmed length so balanced with what is in and what will always be in. Thanks for making me smile!
Wonderful~~a far cry from pajama boys a few posts ago. . .
I love the mixture of stripes and checks in the first pic. Great style!!!
Among the best I've seen in a while, almost makes me wish it was colder here (Residing in Australia..:)
Great photo... too bad he is a smoker! Love the hair and all the detail in his outfit..so dapper!
How perfect! He even smokes well!
woww he looks like Oscar Wilde, doesn't he?
gorgeous!
<3
Did he just step out of a Patricia Highsmith novel? So impeccable.
I love the hair, clean and well cut, with the sideburns, very nice.
I like his wonderful long hair, it is a very good example for men who wis to grow out their hair. Splendid!!!
His hair brings a swinging 60's vibe to the whole outfit. Ca gaz!
Are the pants length so short because its raining?
Now that is a beautiful man.
pocket square is too formal for the already buttoned up general attire (need some juxtaposition besides the hair), kudos on the non-matching brown shoes though
Love it. Wonderful Hair!
An awesome suit on the first picture! Plus a beautiful second picture!
he looks like Jonathon Ross
Quelle élégance, tout tombe impeccablement bien. La coupe de cheveux est parfaite et pas trop "fraiche". Mr Ricci est vraiment un bel homme.
Isn't he the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde?? Or maybe his modern version...
Impeccable taste!
Seeing this man reminds me of London city bankers, impeccably tailored.
Are the pants shown here and in other recent posts tailored to this length or pulled up in some way to avoid winter sidewalks? At the short length they cut a dashing profile....
what a dapper looking guy.
Some are driven by their own style
All this talk of "are shorts pants back or not" could be everything that is going on in your head; while for him, maybe it is just the way he wears his pants
My pant length has been unchanged for about 10 years (my oldest suit) and just touches the top of my shoe when standing still. Depending on the shoe sometimes there is a hint of a break for others it is perfectly still hanging montionless. When I walk the pant naturally lifts up and my sock becomes visable. I know this and plan my hosiery accordingly
For some, my pants are dreadfully long and for others not quite long enough. I don't are about either take, my pants are my style and exactly the length I want them. That doesn't change according to GQ, or what's on the runway, or what they are wearing at the Grammy's. I have an image in my mind of what a man looks like dressed and that is how I dress, period.
I think fashion functions best when it is who we are, not what is "in" - free yourself from the noise
BTW - this guy looks great.
so dapper, love it!!!
love the windowpane check and stripes together! there is something dishy about italian gentlemen...
Grey short trousers-brown lace ups-the shine of them: the comforting taste of italian capuccino. Mmm!
Wow!!!! And re-wow! That suit... Perfect and the shirt tie combination in the top picture. It is just lovely, lovely.
Ahhhhhgggg …stop asking if short pants and 2 inch cuffs are in. They always been in, if you have the right body, posture and persona.
look at the pic from 1920s of Duchamp.

fantastic. makes me want to walk arm in arm with him.
Ok, I think short pants are growing on me. I wasn't too sure but I like this look. Actually much better than the baggy, too long pant look. Hmmmm, wonder if i can shrink a pair of mine to see...
His trousers are perfectly fine.
Fellow Americans: leave your laundry at home, not around your ankles!
This is the kind of man whose name should always be preceded with a Mr. But, even though he seems classical, he hits you with those pants, which are a wonderful twist. I love them. The shorter length, regardless of whether its in or out, just looks sooo good.
Energie
love a man in a suit =)
WORK!
I wish I could get my hair to do that!
Che bello!
What a sense of style.
Mmmmm, thanks Sart (yes, sometimes you specialize in pin-ups)! I love the hair-- long, but beautifully cut, in great condition. Nothing shaggy about him. And windowpane checks! my fave. Great personal style all around.
Totally agree with Premton : if you have the right shape for it .... abuse it ! :-)
I love his shiny shoes that go so perfectly well with his brown pants. But...how about a new haircut? ;)
love everything about the two photo's,, so well put together, and that hair!!! great combo of color and pattern, more men should take risk's like this,,
The most important aspect of the trouser is not that there is no break or that the cuff is 2" it is the taper of the leg combined with the other elements. If you notice the Italian man who wears no break is also comfortable wearing a trouser with a taper most American men would shy away from because it is a big difference from the boring straight leg trouser. If you were to pair the big cuff with no break on a straight leg trouser it does not look the same as with the slimmer fit tapered trouser.
I particularly love the mix of a soft shoulder with a "roped" inserted arm-sleeve. Very purposeful and wickedly elegant.
By the way, shorter trousers for these gentleman would never enter their mind as being "stylish" - this is how their father / grandfather etc. dressed. It just is.
H.A.W.T., but his pants might be a tad short.
Both photos of Mr. Ricci are flawless! It seems like he pays a lot of attention to details. Both looks have such a throrough and finished look (did I repeat the same thing twice?). :)
Some of you speak of the "italian cuff." The reason it is a bit "thicker" these days is due to the fact that the pants are worn shorter. In a few years when the pants need lengthening and the flood style is gone one will be able to drop them again and wear them. Function.
The very masculine cut of his clothing contrasted with the softer line of his haircut, again contrasted with his angled sideburns make for a gorgeous package. Love the windowpane jacket/trousers with the striped shirt.
Adoro Signore Ricci!
Everyone, the shorter pant cuff is a European fashion. I was dressed like that as a child and made fun of in US schools.
i often complain about the fashion here, that it leaves me cold. This is wonderful.
this is a great pic! he's got a great style!
loved the pants!
While shorter pants can look funny, longer pants are never smart, not even close.
It is getting the right in between length that constitutes the balancing act of male elegance.
And yet, those who fail on the short side are still smart. Those who fail on the other end, well... well earned their patronage of the Gap.

Handsome! Gotta love a gentleman.
he could totally be alan rickman as severus snape. only without greasy hair and better dressed.
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIVIIIIIIIIIIIINE
Why don't men in Australia dress like this?

I am for one in love with his sideburns. :)
profile looks like Benicio Del Torro - am I right?!
you know i saw it on the catwalk but I wasn't sure, but it's gonna work isn't it? if he looks good (and he does) the leg length will rise - didn't this happen during the WW2.. rationing of material led to raised trouser length... neuvo sobriety... does that mean we'll start to paint patterns on our legs instead of tights? - www.essentialtea.co.uk
I'd like to dress like this. Dandified, yet understated.
