my voyage to italy: pt. 4

The Sartorialist is capturing the scene at Milan Fashion Week for men.style.com and I can't help but be reminded of the dapper and chic men of Florence and Rome that I saw last summer. This photo in particular is very much the definition of a the business men I'd see in my neighborhood in Florence. They would parade about during their daily siesta like the coolest of peacocks, proud and confident in their suited armor that is at once very stylish but comfortable and functional enough for them to ride their bikes to and fro. This common display of elegant and practical workwear is hard to find here in the States but in Italy you can find it at every turn.
