Men’s guardrobe must haves like suits or double breasted blazers that were once used for occasional vernissages or for work are nowadays worn for any occasion. Elegance has lost it’s formal feature becoming more casual and urban and it has become a sort of passepartout for everyday life.

• Perfect line
• Total care from head to toe
• A little aesthetical habit
• Curiosity and the will to experiment

You shouldn’t be afraid of looking too old style, suits have new lines that are totally in favor of versatility so that you can mix together chic elements from casualwear and sportswear.

The ultimate features regarding men’s style that redifine the concept of elegance are: tight jackets reduced in length , smaller or larger revers but above all low waist trousers with tapered legs.

The new temptation is to get rid of the old schemes and play with patterns an colours making daring combinations using dramatic details and playing with proportions. The point is to express our creativity through our personal taste. Future of style is adapting one’s liberty to elegance .

Looking for few basic rules?

While it originated in the 1940’s Jazz era, it’s now generally associated with millennials who are into artisan foods, super-progressive viewpoints, and preferences for all-things alternative, including lifestyles and music. But even these core hipster values barely scrape the tip of the iceberg. As we explore the hipster style, perhaps we can gain greater insight on these modern day rebels who have such a lack of concern for what you, or anyone else thinks.

• The Hipster Style
• The Hipster Guy
• The Hipster Chick
• The Modern Hipster Rebel

But who actually cares what the critics think? Let’s face it, if there wasn’t a little bit of controversy surrounding the “assassins of cool”, then they simply wouldn’t be as cool as they are. Hipsters are modern day rebels because they go against the grain. Non-hipsters want to be hipsters simply because of the attractive qualities of a free spirited individual who refuses to conform, follow tradition, or succumb to the customs of every generation before.

Whether you see a hipster rockin’ tight pants and round-framed glasses, or a grunge jacket from the 90s, there’s always going to be someone telling them to fall in line.

Well guess what people, falling in line just isn’t what we do. We’re here to shake things up, live a sweet life, and do epic shit.

Just keep doing you!

The tenth and last article for Natural Gentleman is about the fascinating industry of the shoes. Just like for every other garment of a gentleman’s closet, also for the shoes a lot could be said and a web article may not be the most appropriate tool to write in depth about this matter. Provided that buying an high quality pair of shoes is a lifetime investment, it is essential to debunk the myth according to which expensive shoes, being rigid, hurt.

• An excellent pair of shoes, except the case of an efficient marketing campaign, is not supposed to hurt and if this happens is just because of a wrong size or sole width. As for hand-made shoes, these are the basic steps. After the design phase, the leather and the lining are cut.
• The next step is the binding phase in which the previously-cut pieces are put together to make the upper. Then the upper is mounted onto the form and stitched (in Good Year type, Norvegian, Bologna, Tyrolean, or Tubular).
• Next is the sole-making phase that involves attaching sole and heel; finally the finishing phase is needed for the colour and the polishing. It takes twenty to thirty days to make a pair of shoes because there are technical intervals which must be respected: the finishing itself for example requires four or five days.
• A tip: it is better to go for a “good-year welted” pair than for a blake one; only the first one can be changed if damaged and the shoes will return to mint conditions!

In the end, thanks to this nice (at least for me!) experience, not only did I have the chance to write down what I have learnt during the interviews of the past two years, but also it pushed me to reopen some dusty style books resting on my shelves, in order to check whether my statements were grounded .

Thus, I would like to thank the guys of Natural Gentleman for this opportunity and you Dudes for your enthusiastic feedbacks. It is a mix of details that makes a man elegant and for sure “clothes don’t make the man, but they can help a man look great”! ?
