Meanwhile back at Pitti





I love the way patrons in Europe play with color, and proportion so effortlessly, and even more how a lot of men have little quirks that could almost be construed as androgynous.

Pitti Pitti Bang Bang

I'm sure all of my fellow sophisticates, sartorialist, and dandy fellows were greatly anticipating January to see the new Fall attire being shown at Pitti Uomo this year, however I am always more excited to take style notes from all of the sartorial poets from around the world that descend on Florence to write on the canvas of fashion here are some of my favorite looks and collections so far (via the sartorialist blog)...



I call this poem "Trip through Time"



"Bagabond"



"Candyman"



Nonchalance? Nottachance.

Like words let the texture, clothing, and colors inspire you to take some of these looks and make them your own.

Double It UP

Whats up Casual Luxuriers, its Dandy B. Doug and today I think its imperative we discuss how to properly wear a Double-Breasted Blazer. It's simple:



Many dandies have offered their commentary concerning the do's and the don'ts on the proper wear of a double breasted blazer. Everybody can't be right....so here's my opinion. Some say due the framework of the double-breasted blazer, shorter men can't wear the blazer because it further personifies your short and stout frame. But I disagree along with Alan Flusser(Original Dandy), one of America's first style mavens. The swooping lapels of a double-breasted jacket, from the tip of a peaked lapel down to two crossed points at the waist, creates the illusion of height. You be the judge?
