Introduction

Fabio Attanasio is a name you will become more and more familiar with, and one day, you will mention him before the great Luca Rubinacci and Simone Righi when referencing the most stylish Italians.

Whilst I am aware of the boldness of that statement, it was not one written with shaking hands or bated breath. Fabio’s style is based on a process of osmosis and therefore constantly evolving, yet his outfits remain classic and grounded by timeless attire.

However, what really distinguishes Fabio from his fashionable counterparts is his well-rounded perspective on the intrinsic elements that help make a well dressed man a truly stylish one. This article will show how the elegance that belies his years is completely in tune with the character of the gentleman.

Fabio’s personal website, thebespokedudes.com, has many great pictures and interviews with renowned stylish men, and I urge you to take a look. It is also a fantastic insight into the nature of Fabio; his humility and enthusiasm for the finer side of men’s fashion is apparent and transmits itself to the reader in an unabashed manner that highlights his appetite for learning.

In his own words, he started the website upon realising his inspiration was being sourced from foreign blogs, whilst back home in Italy, strangely enough, nobody in the blogosphere was fully reflecting his idea of style and elegance. In fact, Fabio isn’t too different from you and me – citing menswear blogs as one of his main sources of inspiration.

Most impressively, Fabio is keen to emphasise that true style is not just the result of good quality clothes but an elegant balance of classic beauty and individual traits – an ethos the majority of FashionBeans readers will surely relate to. Intrinsic to any stylish gent is an equally graceful lifestyle, where one’s demeanour and attitude towards others complements their appreciation of material goods and aesthetics.
