“I felt like an unconventional point of view was missing, thus I decided to address my blog to all those modern gentlemen out there who share my same passions: women, clothes, dogs, interior design, trips and other haberdasheries.” Fabio Attanasio

Fabio is fortunate enough to have travelled the world, and his time spent observing and assimilating his environment is often cited as a source of inspiration for his outfits. For example, on his website he details that the choice of navy and burgundy within one ensemble was inspired by the colours and surroundings of Bordeaux. This very personal presentation of himself through the medium of his outfit ensures his style is authentic and a true representation of his personality and life experiences.

Fabio’s interaction with some of the most sartorially inclined men on the planet has certainly helped his style develop, and is part of the reason why he describes his style as a “constantly evolving classic”. Interviews with Lino Ieluzzi, Valentino Ricci and Luca Rubinacci mean that ‘icons’ are not necessary for Fabio – he takes elements he appreciates of these people and restyles them to his own design.

Having recently passed his law degree, Fabio knows the importance of attention to detail: silk knots in the lapel hole, a quality pair of hand-crafted glasses, deciding the knot of your tie depending on its width – each of these seemingly minute considerations adds something extra to the overall aesthetic, helping turn a good outfit into a great one.

The key to finding out and defining your personal style, as Fabio has done, is trying new things: “I love experimenting, pairing different fabrics, textures, colours and patterns, always trying to keep a balance.” Yet he clearly understands the importance of balance. By getting the balance of your outfit right, by that I mean paying attention to your colour combinations, texture juxtapositions and accessories, you will always look like you are wearing the clothes, not the other way round.
