A crisp white shirt and a brown woven belt anchor the look. Fabio is careful not to go overboard with extraneous elements and as such a well chosen handkerchief will suffice.

Dark suede chukka boots would polish the look with a European suaveness but a more British choice of brogues has its own merits. Wondering what to wear for coffee has never seemed so simple:

• Topman White Long Sleeve Curve Collar Shirt
• Reiss Melville B Flannel Mixer Blazer Blue
• Levis Jeans 501 Straight Fit Hook
• Reiss Gunsmoke Triangular Geo Hank Ochre
• A.P.C. WOVEN-LEATHER BELT
• Tods No_code Suede Desert Boots

Outfit Two

A washed cotton jacket is perfect for spring, and was exhibited perfectly in L.B.M 1911’s recent SS13 lookbook. Unbuttoning the cuffs and rolling up the sleeves just a little is an unobtrusive display of sartorial prowess, and suits this relaxed formal look. I would opt for a maroon/burgundy blazer in this instance and layer it over a smart denim shirt in a mid-wash – enabling you to wear a tie if you so wish.

Although Fabio shies away from pairing multiple colours together, dark green khaki trousers create a balanced palette. Loafers are a louche choice and correspond harmoniously to this aesthetic. For the record, Fabio’s personal choice is Alden Shell Cardovan tassel loafers, and said shoes in a dark brown would fit the bill perfectly.

Details such as the fold of your pocket square are of paramount importance, and Fabio also likes to wear bracelets of all colours. Men’s jewellery is an individual touch and therefore rings, necklaces and lapel pins of personal significance are all fair game:

• Asos Denim Shirt
• Boglioli Slim-fit Unstructured Cotton And Linen-blend Blazer
• Diesel Trousers Akysspo Combat
• Topman Tiny Ankh Charm Bracelet
• Reiss Shackleton Plain Rib Sock Navy
• Churchs Leather Penny Loafers

Conclusion

Fabio is a menswear aficionado but he is also a paragon of a younger generation of Italian men, whose penchant for challenging the old guard is one done with panache and innocent experimentation.
