"Milano - il Caldo" Nownself's photos around Milan, Italy (travel pics)

Preview of Nownself's blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Milan, Italy Entry Title: "Milano - il Caldo" Entry: "We did not get to take in all of the sites of Lake Como. Next time I think that I will take the No. 5 tour. Today we travelled to Milan and spent the day shopping and taking in the sites. I had to buy an extra carry on bag to take all of my shoes home! This city really is a shopping city and there are many stylish people walking around the streets. The men look fabulous, suits, linen shirts and well groomed. However, I still do not get the pale red pants. Not a good look even if they are designer. It is very hot in Milan, 30 degrees but not as humid as Lake Como. I felt like I was melting all day. I guess my body composition has turned to cheese after all I have eaten these past weeks. SD and I went to the Duomo after a hard morning of shopping. We went up to the roof to catch the breeze but it was sheltered. The Duomo is really spectacular and it was fun to hang out in the piazza, although it was difficult to avoid the pigeons and gypsys. Just off the piazza is the covered shopping arcade where you can spin on the bull's balls for good luck. Inside the Prada store is right across from McDonald's. Is McDonald's trendy, maybe I should start hanging out in the one in Esquimalt? you can spend a lot of time window shopping in Milan. There ...

Which Men's Suit to Wear in the Country

!±8± Which Men's Suit to Wear in the Country

Those relaxing moments spent in the country call for at least a linen, more casual and lighter fabric. Dark colors are alright, as are the safest which are tan colors; in any case, do without shoulder pads. A careful awareness of your body shape, head size, etc. will help you out if you will make it with the very trendy rounded shoulder look. Check with your tailor how to ensure a fitted look.

As an aside, did you know that even if you are clueless about fox hunting, the tattersall waistcoat is an essential component of the dandy when he wishes to make a statement outdoors. Tattersall (after the name of a horse market which also sold blankets carrying the plaid design) worn under a tweed hacking men's suit will add variety to your country suit.

In selecting a suit, you definitely want something that is exceptional to your "work" fabric. Of course we are not implying doing an extreme about face and going for something literally flashy. Fine makers of black suits include Boss, Joseph Abboud, Benetton or Club Monaco, carrying suits that unmistakably show "trendy."

When choosing the size of your men's suit, including pants, prioritize the comfortable fit of the jacket, since the pants can be adjusted. So how exactly does a good jacket fit comfortably? Ensure that the jacket is not too fit especially on your chest, your arms, or your shoulder; I read somewhere that good jackets allow you to ball up your fist in the inside of the jacket's chest area. Have your tailor study the sides so you achieve the tapered look and correct the length if necessary.

For others, solving how snug men's suits is too snug depends on what your tailor says, like getting a 42R, or perhaps he may recommend getting the suit that need minimal review. Take my experience for example; when I said it was snug, I didn't feel any tightness or anything. I also had two shirts on when I would only wear a dress shirt without an undershirt when wearing the men's suit.

When it comes to the pants, it's a matter of choosing: flat fronts or pleated pants? Some say flat fronts look elegant on slim people. Some say nobody can go wrong with pleated, and pleated pants on slim guys, together with a certain bagginess in the legs, can also work! Fix the pants by adjusting the crotch area if needed (at least ensure that there's no problem when you sit down or squat on the floor).

And what shoes to pair your men's suits out in the country? Invest on the oval shoe look, and avoid the passing fling of those bulky square-toed shoes (slip-ons, at that).What we ought to have more often is a more streamlined, slender look (echoing the timeless Italian shoe design).

Have fun outdoors and make sure to enjoy the warm weather; enjoying it in your men's suit will even help you up as you make a statement in those weekend brunches. Without doubt, the fashion rules are made to be both bent and broken.
