Channel Your Inner Italian In A Canali Shirt

For over 80 years, Canali has been a paradigm of tailor-made Italian luxury, making their premium shirts a must-have staple for stylish men everywhere. It’s a known fact that Italian men always look impeccable but in the most subtle way possible.

If you’re growing tired of all those graphic T-shirts, poorly fitted jeans and saggy suit jackets, start with one of Canali’s many shirt masterings to jumpstart your path to Italian perfection. With the right attitude (and our beginner’s guide below), any guy can summon a little ‘sprezzatura.’

  1. Pair expensive designer pieces with vintage finds. Family heirlooms and friendly hand-me-downs are even better for giving some unique character to your clothing.  Pair one of your grandfather’s tie bars, gold watches, or cufflinks to a crisp white button down for some old-world classicism.
  2. Wear accessories in unexpected ways. You might not be ready to wear a tie over a sweater, or a watch on top of your cuff, but finding subtle individual idiosyncrasies will separate you from the pack. Try giving your tie knot a subtle twist or turn back your shirt cuffs and stack some funky bracelets.
  3. Swap in some serious color. And do it where it is least expected. Your socks and shoes might be a good place to start. Once you’ve mastered a pop of color on your ankles, swap out your standard neutral suit jacket for a sport coat in a pastel.
  4. Juxtapose the luxe with the shabby. Maybe that means pairing a bucket hat with a custom Canali suit or a distressed leather backpack over your cashmere overcoat.

Adding a touch of Italian swagger to your personal style only requires a brief study of the men who’ve mastered it most. Wherever a man lives, there will be something he can learn from the world’s most stylish nation— starting with Canali.

Sprezzatura starts with Canali.
