Have I told you about my thoughts on Lake Como Chic? Well, I am not sure if I was the one to coin this movement in fashion- or if I heard of this though the grapevine, but at any-rate Lake Como Chic should be at the top of your list.
Not only a look, but an air about a man- effortless, cool, sarcastic and yet polite, this man is the one you want to hang with, the one you slightly envy... think Frank Sinatra- or George Clooney.
The key to achieving the look, is to honestly not try too hard. Italians never "dress down" as Americans do, and they have perfected the art of mixing and matching. Taking a casual friday staple like the polo shirt, and throwing it under a blazer (even a cordoroy one like above) looks less stifled than a dress shirt and has become the trend du jour this summer.
Try it at your next outdoor fete! (maybe even try the look with a pair of khaki shorts-cuffed of course- and some driving mocs....but only if you're daring)
