From my experience in Italy over many years of professional visits to the country is this : people don’t dress up , they simply dress . They wear the clothes with a natural elegance that is only found in Italy .
To be dressed in an Italian style has a lot to do with a mindset, it’s not just about a brand. Boys are brought up with the topic of attire, in other cultures it’s regarded as a feminine topic. What I love is the combination of perfect craftsmanship and serenity in the look. Men’s fashion is very often not an armour, but underlines the humour, a reluctant sensuality and never looses to be the background for a dazzling lady. For me tailoring of Cesare Attolini is immaculate perfection and men’s fashion of Giorgio Armani is a wonderful example to have a modest attire that is not boring. When I was in my 20ies, I loved the baroque patterned jeans of Gianni Versace combined with a monochromatic shirt, tanktop or vest. This kind of sexiness is not appropriate anymore at the age of 55, but it looked quite cool.
As an American now living in Europe and traveling there, I am so jealous of them. From all ages, all over Europe these people dress with such casual and elegant flair. And I so much want to emulate how they dress. I am in my late 60’s.
I'm from Milano, born and raised, Perhaps I can tell you about why we like to dress up but not be seen on camera: we like to be seen, but we like to chose who, when and where we are seen. we like attention, but not too much spotlight. People from other parts of Italy can be very different.
@@djsangre In Milano there was a great blend of folks -Celts ,Romans, Raetians(etruscans) a little Ligurians and a little german Langobards. The today's dwellers of Milano are offsprings of this amazing blend of peoples and from it stems this so spell-binding tastefulness in everything. And where there are private houses having gardens with gorgeous chimalayan cedars and umbrella pines the feel is heavenly to be there !!! I deem Milano the loveliest town on the Earth !!!
The main point is Italians do not necessarily dress better than the English, but we have the attitude and the non-chalance to make every attire a bit more special and interesting...
What is a fact and is characteristic of Italians in general, is that wherever you go, whether in big cities or smaller ones, you will see equally well-dressed and well-groomed people. That's why they stand out from the others.
In the 1980ies we spent a sunday afternoon in Milano and we moved through the streets and everybody (men and women) were dressed so wonderful and everybody seemed to have a special goal: We recognized that they all seemed to come together at the cathedral square in the middle of the town - just to talk and see other people and have conversation ... and be dressed fantastic ...
Another great video. Well done on the interviews. The gentleman in the orange sport coat looked great. He is wearing a classic piece, 50 years old, his father wore. Amazing. The man who said he sold men’s clothing for 10 years, shared great advice. Your first jacket should be a blazer, single or double breasted.
I think the weather has a lot to do with the way people dress. Wearing bright and fruity colors under a shiny sun is more appealing than under a cloudy rainy sky. Weather also has an impact on people's behavior and mood, reason why you'll see more smiling faces during the summer in comparison with during a cold winter. The best style in my opinion is the one that fits the occasion. It might not fit the mood, but if it fits the occasion very well then we can consider the person is well dressed. That was my personal opinion.
As an English man, I’d say we feel less comfortable taking risks with colour and style. Italians are more daring… the English are also too worried about being judged for ‘trying too hard’… the Italians have mastered the nuance of adding a little bit of fare without going too far. The English haven’t got ‘sprezzatura’ but Italians have it, almost instinctively.
Italy rules the world about fashion, this is just a fact and the truth! ;) Even in the English football casual culture Brits wear all italian brands :)
I don’t consider myself as being stylish, but Italian (men in Milan) are just different - not flashy, yet stylish. Can’t explain it - you have to see it to feel the sense of style.
Italian style always the best even the football kits look at their designs so much classier than anywhere else, just look at the Armani Napoli kit from few years ago you could wear it on a night out
I was born, raised and educated in Milano, lived here all my life and I can tell you what you are seeing is how the upper-middle and upper class Milanese dress. Regular people like myself just dress normally.
Excellent analysis, thank you. I'm from Australia, and it is very difficult to find colourful trousers in Sydney. All of my best coloured trousers I bought in Italy (Rome).
One could argue that the streets where the rich and famous shop or recreate aren't representative of what most Italians do or are or behave. Most Italians (and not at all the Milanese who frequent " il quadrilatero della moda") however have a sense of style independently from their income and, perhaps aside from teen agers who are prone to follow the fashion of the moment, follow they style rather than fashion. L'uomo elegante non si veste alla moda was something that I have heard very often from my father and other people of his generation. This attitude is something that is acquired by growing up in an atmosphere where pursuing masculine elegance is seen as the normal way of life and not something done creating a special effort. The " nonchalance " which has been talked about before is not the product of a studied attitude but the matter-of-fact way way of life which has being acquired from from your father and your grandfather and so on, no matter how humble they may have been. And this makes the Italians (did I say I am one?) different from other people around the world . The same way as , naturally, Italians gravitate around good food, because they have been exposed to it their whole life and eating well is something you do everyday of your life and requires no special effort or reading any books to acquire something you weren't brought up with, as it may be in different cultures. By the way " sprezzatura" is not a word that many Italians would be familiar with ( it is an ancient term to all intents and purposes) although they may very well bring it into practice.
It's not necessarily just a matter of brand or of kind of dress. It's also a matter of matching (colors, fabric,... ) and choosing the right fit. It's ultimately a matter of taste, and that's something you assimilate growing up in a certain environment. And who does, shows it even if they're trying to not look fashionable.

Once you know better you do better. I am a Connaisseur from Africa and I have been dressing ever since I was a little boy. I am influenced by Italian, French styles. People gaze at me everywhere i go without speaking a word. Style has to be in you and i do not try to impress anyone but me.
I went on a coach tour of Italy for 13 days. Never saw a fresh vegetable. The nearest thing to it was the tomato in the pasta. Not impressed by the food at all. I hope the natives are better fed.
I appreciate the sanity check in the conclusion that as soon as you leave downtown, you probably see people dressed like americans. Jeans/shorts and a graphic tshirt. I believe percentage of men dressing up and the daily and how much better italians dress when dressed up are two different questions and people mix them up.
I think Italians are really good at experimenting with different fun colors. Here in Stockholm I think people dress pretty well, but it is a lot of blue, grey and black.
Wow, did you get an idea just by interviewing 4 people? Italians like to dress comfortably, this does not always coincide with dressing like accountants.
Nice video, until the final considerations. People ofc don't always dress up, but there's a hint in many people around and not just Montenapoleone district
The chap that spoke about the Loden coat being Milanese is a little out, it's more of a Tyrolean fabric and was widely adopted in Northern Europe. But he's hinted at one thing that's never mentioned - Milan is one of the most temperate European cities so a gentleman's wardrobe is significantly different to one in London, Paris, Stockholm, New York. It has to accommodate far less inclement weather and for shorter times. Do a video in Milan when it's cold and raining to see what they wear then. If you judge that "dress better" means an endless display of unstructured jackets, soft collars, loafers, informality and so many people wanting to be different that they all look similar, then Milan on a good day probably is the place. If you want perfectly fitting sober suits, shirts that are crisp and smart, a tie done up in a knot that works with the outfit, (not just a slack four-in-hand with a knitted loose tie as an afterthought hiding behind the guise of Sprezzatura), a quality pair of socks (remember those Milan?) then London & New York are dressed better. However I agree that there are fewer and fewer (men especially) making a concerted effort to dress in a stylish way now. Casualwear and corporate branding have taken over. I admire those that make the effort, wherever they are. Fathers need to guide their sons, the first visit to a tailor used to be a rite of passage for a young man that's gone now.
Dear body ,on the main ,you are thoroughly right,but there is something in Milano ,its so spell-binding natural background ,its so bewitching building setting ,the fact that the Milanese are a wonderful blend of Gauls (Celts) ,Ligurians ,Etruscans ,Romans and a little germanic Langobards that make it so unlike any other town on the Earth...And from this loveliest unlikeness stems their so wonderful feeling for clothing ,furnishing,housing,life style...
I was in Milan last weekend. Men going to work looking smart, even in chinos and jacket, also wearing ties which seems to have dropped off in the UK over the past few years. A pair of clean shoes goes a long way! Woman were dressed smartly, not cheap looking clothes or stuff with big logos, which some people seem to think makes you look 'fashionable' or 'wealthy', wear your labels on the inside.
The Italian dress for occasion. Probably the best dressed men were working when you recorded the video. You should come back in autumn or winter and record on weekend evenings.
Dressing like you go out every day might work in Italy but not for the rest of the world. To dress a certain style also comes with a certain culture and since I was a teen I liked street style. Of course with age you avoid to dress like a teen but you can still pull it off. Also if you are a biker, surfer or skater, dressing like you live in Italy will get you laughs. I like the Italian style and I might wear it if I go out with a nice lady but in every day life, I like to wear chinos, a Polo with decent sneakers.
One of my favourite videos I have watched on a while. Well put together, and with some extremely well dressed gentlemen, wearing many of my favourite brands. Is it true that it is common to see men dressed this way in Milan?
Would be difficult to give you a proper answer just staying few days, but probably there're just a bit more well dressed men but still a minority, most people still wearing just jeans and tees :)
No is not, you can find a lot of style , but youger people are not dressed up . I ll try to explain, most of the “style” you’ll find are like streetwear, workwear , for the younger , and yes if you work for the public you will probably wear a good blazer , the thing that you’ll notice about our Italian is the fact that we don’t put random Clothes on even if we are taking out the garbage , we are always aware of what we wear.
a lot of people you can see walking in milan don't come from milan but thr province. don't saying thry don't dress well in thr province, just pointing out that the people you see walking a random street are on average 60% not locals, not from the city itself
I'm a British guy who attempts to dress well. I like many Italian approaches to style. I think besides British style/classic dressing, the Italian sartorial approach and innovation is second to British. Yes, colour in Italian style is vivid and embraced. The only thing that lets down the Italian look is the shoes: men wearing a suit or ensamble with trainers/sneakers! Gulp, and dare I say it, no socks.....darn, I'm English/British to the core ;-)
It is about always wanting to look your best, no matter where you are. It seems like only Italians and French understand this. Americans dont even want to get dressed up anymore to go to church or to get in an airplane. It is ridiculous. Americans have popularized the casual-sloppy look.
English definitely more classic and restrained whereas Italian is more eclectic and often more interesting. As tall and muscular even at old age, as much as I like the Italian, it just doesn't work for me. At least I still have my Dads 70 year old Loden coat. BTW, showing logos has always struck me as pretentious.
@@chriswatson1698 in Italy we use a kind of sock called "fantasmino", which translates as "little ghost". It covers the foot without being visible as it remains under the border of the shoe. We care about hygiene the same as we care about elegance.
The British, Africans, Chinese and everyone else are trying to learn a sense of style from the Italians but just paying the price and wearing the clothes isn't nearly enough. In this case you just look like a tourist who can't quite pull it off.
No it isn't. Our tour coach drove through square miles of 3 storey concrete blocks of flats, on the fringes of Milan, which is the fashion capital. Our tour guide told us that most of the people in Milan have never been inside a house. Everyone lives in little flats that they don't even own. They don't spend their money on house and garden, so making a good impression is a substitute. The millionaire West Australian and I agreed that the Milanese could keep their fancy clothes. We would prefer spacious homes. This WA millionaire and his family dressed for their tour of Italy in shorts, graphic Tshirts and thongs. Straight out of Jeans West.
Tu e la tua guida turistica non avete capito nulla. Parlate solo per invidia .... noi non viviamo in buchi di cemento come a Londra e Hong Kong. In Italia viviamo in appartamenti che voi sognate ...... anzi voi sognate l'Italia .....
99% of Italians are just dressed like everyother persone outside Italy. Most common style Are from H&M Zara And other fast fashion brands , Shoes are mostly sneakers like Nike or similar. You’re welcome
I love the way Italians dress. They have a way of making themselves look better by dressing well, as opposed to dragging attention towards their clothes. The people in this video are not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the more average Italian.
@@artgreen6915 yeh dude, I live in London and I don't think there's anywhere else in the world with the same level of car sophistication/madness... but an original RS is a whole different level of cool. We do get sone Singers and restomod 912s here, but if it's original... that's pretttty sick
That's not how "italian men" dress, that's how "a specific demographic of italian men" dress, i.e. over 30 middle-upper or upper class in Milan with a good job in services, sales and trade, or even in fashion industry, high or very high level education (university degree at least) from wealthy families or else with a good deal of money, in a day or an hour when they're clearly not working (if it is a working day, then they're not working full time). So maybe... 0,001% of italian men? Go in other streets than the fashion districts, go in other cities than Milan, interview other age ranges than over 40, go into grocery markets and shop, go in blue collar neighborhoods, go in front of postal offices or peripheral schools... That could give you the REAL taste of what italian men wear.
@@jasminehasan890 No, it's not. I'm Italian, I KNOW how "Italian men" (and women) dress, and I KNOW it's not this way. At least, not for the great majority of them.
No youre not italian, now talk about how your country blindly dress “Laurelin” ahahahaha Mhilano is not even that good, just the capital of brands…., othter parts are even better 😊
@@KeyserSoze-vi6xe I'm Italian, whether you like it or not. And what you see in the video is not what I see in the NORMAL (not the city centre, not the fashion districts, not the banks or offices districts) streets of Rome. You CAN see even better dressed people in Rome, IN THE CITY CENTRE. But that's not a representative sample of ALL Italian people. Italian people have good taste in dressing. But what you see in the video is over-the-top, very fashionista or too unusual, many are dressed like they're going to a party or a ceremony. That's not the way NORMAL people are dressed for their EVERYDAY life or work (unless they work in the fashion- or show-business).

traveling the world you recognize an Italian at 500 meters even if he is in jeans and a t-shirt, it's just a matter of style, we are absolutely unmatched! I was in Tokyo in 20'23, it was winter and it was cold, I was dressed very casually, only worried about staying warm, yet some girls approached me and asked "Are you Italian?" I answered yes, and they laughed covering their mouths with their hands, one of them started naming several Italian cities and some famous Italian sports personalities, then she added that they had bet seeing how I was dressed, I asked what made me so identifiable since I thought I was dressed in an absolutely anonymous way, the answer was surprising, they talked about color combinations and how I wore clothes in a "perfect" way according to them, also noticing the shoes, they also said, that especially in winter, Italians in Tokyo are rare but you can immediately recognize them, they are the ones who dress with STYLE! This was said by nice girls from Tokyo. In the summer in Italy, you can see a multitude of tourists from all over Europe and even the US, in the summer heat they are dressed like Italians with light clothes, shorts to the knee, and sandals, but the Italians appear pleasant to the eye, the tourists are often ridiculous, I can't explain the difference, maybe it's the colors, the wrong sizes of clothes, I don't know what to say, they are always simply ridiculous. The English and Germans, especially, are often truly terrible! Tourists from the US are easily identifiable and are certainly better than the English and Germans, tourists from northern Europe such as the Dutch, Swedes, and Norwegians, are unwatchable LOL Style is not just wearing a designer dress, style must also exist in jeans and a t-shirt or a light summer shirt, as only an Italian can wear it, it's genetic! Let's not even talk about women or girls, here we can't even open a discussion, any foreigner disappears when an Italian woman or girl shows up, in her perfect minimalistic simplicity! You who seem to be a traveler, do a survey in the East, like Korea, Japan, and other places and ask their opinion, being Asian will tell you from the outside what they see and think, and you will be surprised, to hear from everyone, two words: Italian Style! for example, with that dull pale blue shirt how can you wear a silk scarf of that color over that shirt, it's simply ridiculous! believe me, go in front of the mirror and look at yourself without thinking about the value or beauty of the individual item, look at the whole, it's chromatically terribly unbalanced! You will discover that you need a darker shirt to wear that scarf, you will find the color in the design of the scarf, or you will look like an idiot! You will also discover the color of that shirt does not go well with the color of your skin and your eyes, YOU CANNOT WEAR A SHIRT OF THAT COLOR! The signature or the value does not matter, it is simply wrong for you. in addition, the scarf has no point of color that recalls the shirt, appearing like a dishcloth thrown around the neck, even if it is silk (at least it seems) and has an important value- The choice of the color of the garments compared to your own colors is the starting point, the reflection of the light blue shirt on your skin makes you a zombie! bluish, look at yourself and you will see it! Your color is a gray not blue, light gray shirt, for that medium or dark gray scarf, the gray will highlight your eyes and you will surely earn even in presence, remaining sporty. this is just an example (but I was not joking change shirt) Italians have all this in their DNA they do not even realize it they just do it! Bel video molto interessante! ciao
The Italian style is something genetic that comes from ancient times. When Poppea bathed in the donkey's milk that her maids poured for her or when Lucullus organized banquets with the best delicacies, the Barbarians, that is, the current inhabitants of the Nordic countries, were a nomadic people who slept in tents, did not wash themselves and had long and dirty hair, they didn't cook the meat but ate it raw, tearing it with their teeth after letting it mature by placing it between the saddle and the horse, on long journeys to quench their thirst they cut into the horse's neck and drank its blood and they didn't know writing to pass on their deeds when Rome had Virgil and Caesar.😀
You know how you can tell an Italian? Lazy, occupied with looks, always bragging about stuff, perennial under performers in anything not involving fashion or art..that’s how rest of the world identified most Italians
Just got back from Italy, style wise nothing eye catching and rather boring. Football matches are the best place to see style cats, guys in the know... Milan trendies San Siro & etc. Italians n# 1 late 70s right into mid 80s .
From my experience in Italy over many years of professional visits to the country is this : people don’t dress up , they simply dress .
They wear the clothes with a natural elegance that is only found in Italy .
this is mythology
It’s not just the clothes but the confidence and posture.
No , it’s just attitude and most of the time is not a good thing.

But he's hinted at one thing that's never mentioned - Milan is one of the most temperate European cities so a gentleman's wardrobe is significantly different to one in London, Paris, Stockholm, New York. It has to accommodate far less inclement weather and for shorter times.
Do a video in Milan when it's cold and raining to see what they wear then.
If you judge that "dress better" means an endless display of unstructured jackets, soft collars, loafers, informality and so many people wanting to be different that they all look similar, then Milan on a good day probably is the place.
If you want perfectly fitting sober suits, shirts that are crisp and smart, a tie done up in a knot that works with the outfit, (not just a slack four-in-hand with a knitted loose tie as an afterthought hiding behind the guise of Sprezzatura), a quality pair of socks (remember those Milan?) then London & New York are dressed better.
However I agree that there are fewer and fewer (men especially) making a concerted effort to dress in a stylish way now. Casualwear and corporate branding have taken over. I admire those that make the effort, wherever they are. Fathers need to guide their sons, the first visit to a tailor used to be a rite of passage for a young man that's gone now.
Milan average temperature, January, max-min, 7°-2°
London average temperature January, max-min, 9°-4°
Dear body ,on the main ,you are thoroughly right,but there is something in Milano ,its so spell-binding natural background ,its so bewitching building setting ,the fact that the Milanese are a wonderful blend of Gauls (Celts) ,Ligurians ,Etruscans ,Romans and a little germanic Langobards that make it so unlike any other town on the Earth...And from this loveliest unlikeness stems their so wonderful feeling for clothing ,furnishing,housing,life style...
I was in Milan last weekend.
Men going to work looking smart, even in chinos and jacket, also wearing ties which seems to have dropped off in the UK over the past few years. A pair of clean shoes goes a long way!
Woman were dressed smartly, not cheap looking clothes or stuff with big logos, which some people seem to think makes you look 'fashionable' or 'wealthy', wear your labels on the inside.
The Italian dress for occasion. Probably the best dressed men were working when you recorded the video. You should come back in autumn or winter and record on weekend evenings.
We recorded this video in June evening, But yes during winter would be much different.
They are perfectly dressed,compliments
Hello, I noticed you had Debussy playing in the background, how did you get around the copyright?
I love Korean style. It's fashionable but has some hints of youth/hip
If the average American man dressed half as good as the average Italian, that would be big improvement.

Facts
I find workwear like carhartt much more interesting to wear than a thigh jacket and cropped skinny pants.
Average American is overweight.😊
Dressing like you go out every day might work in Italy but not for the rest of the world. To dress a certain style also comes with a certain culture and since I was a teen I liked street style. Of course with age you avoid to dress like a teen but you can still pull it off. Also if you are a biker, surfer or skater, dressing like you live in Italy will get you laughs. I like the Italian style and I might wear it if I go out with a nice lady but in every day life, I like to wear chinos, a Polo with decent sneakers.
I lived in Milano so I can testify the Milanese guys are the best dressed.
Great video, thanks!
All of these guys look greattttttt😂😂😂😂😂😂 young old middle age.Wow.❤❤❤❤
The best style is knowledge and logic.
One of my favourite videos I have watched on a while. Well put together, and with some extremely well dressed gentlemen, wearing many of my favourite brands.
Is it true that it is common to see men dressed this way in Milan?
It is common to see men dressed liked this in Milan and in other Italian cities.
Would be difficult to give you a proper answer just staying few days, but probably there're just a bit more well dressed men but still a minority, most people still wearing just jeans and tees :)
No is not, you can find a lot of style , but youger people are not dressed up .
I ll try to explain, most of the “style” you’ll find are like streetwear, workwear , for the younger , and yes if you work for the public you will probably wear a good blazer , the thing that you’ll notice about our Italian is the fact that we don’t put random Clothes on even if we are taking out the garbage , we are always aware of what we wear.
@@leodileodileo that is such a great explanation, thank you Leo :)
a lot of people you can see walking in milan don't come from milan but thr province. don't saying thry don't dress well in thr province, just pointing out that the people you see walking a random street are on average 60% not locals, not from the city itself
I'm a British guy who attempts to dress well. I like many Italian approaches to style. I think besides British style/classic dressing, the Italian sartorial approach and innovation is second to British. Yes, colour in Italian style is vivid and embraced. The only thing that lets down the Italian look is the shoes: men wearing a suit or ensamble with trainers/sneakers! Gulp, and dare I say it, no socks.....darn, I'm English/British to the core ;-)
FYI, they all have socks, try to google what "fantasmino" is.
Men in Italy dress really well. No Italian man would were shorts in the city at the most only bermudas.
You liar
Youngsters are terrible at dressing. They wear all sort of things without a logic.
Ahahahah not true, don’t listen to her
i never remember the logo I wear. I wear what fits to me, good quality, brand? no interest.
I like how he pulls off the LV belt without looking gaudy
The young people are not as well dressed as the older generation.
It is about always wanting to look your best, no matter where you are. It seems like only Italians and French understand this. Americans dont even want to get dressed up anymore to go to church or to get in an airplane. It is ridiculous. Americans have popularized the casual-sloppy look.
English definitely more classic and restrained whereas Italian is more eclectic and often more interesting. As tall and muscular even at old age, as much as I like the Italian, it just doesn't work for me. At least I still have my Dads 70 year old Loden coat. BTW, showing logos has always struck me as pretentious.
😂😂😂😂😂
Cheap, not pretentious. It is not stylish to try and fuel envy.
In qualunque città italiana, grande o piccola che sia, ci saranno sempre persone eleganti
Dressing well it is a part of our culture, something you absort simply being born here in Italy.
It helps that most Italian men are relatively thin because their clothes fit properly.
Italian style is Sprezzatura 👌🏻
I hate the narrow trousers that stop above the ankle, worn with shoes with no socks.
Why?
@@vinhdao1117probably likes white socks with sandals!
Are you American by chance??
@@francisburke9783 Nope. Aussie. sockless shoes get stinky. I can imagine the smell from here.
@@chriswatson1698 in Italy we use a kind of sock called "fantasmino", which translates as "little ghost". It covers the foot without being visible as it remains under the border of the shoe. We care about hygiene the same as we care about elegance.
The British, Africans, Chinese and everyone else are trying to learn a sense of style from the Italians but just paying the price and wearing the clothes isn't nearly enough. In this case you just look like a tourist who can't quite pull it off.
The best dressed in Italy are in Verona . Salute to you all ♥️🇮🇹
Italians who do dress well, do it impressively. The large majority, however, do not dress well.
They know how if they want to whereas others don’t and revert to criticize well
gonna tell you something. The real italian fit goes in Italy. Outside Italy you'll have to go a bit wider to come over as fashionable.
Absolute taste, perfection, oh how I wishiwas born, or lived in Italy,everything is style, everything
No it isn't. Our tour coach drove through square miles of 3 storey concrete blocks of flats, on the fringes of Milan, which is the fashion capital. Our tour guide told us that most of the people in Milan have never been inside a house. Everyone lives in little flats that they don't even own. They don't spend their money on house and garden, so making a good impression is a substitute. The millionaire West Australian and I agreed that the Milanese could keep their fancy clothes. We would prefer spacious homes. This WA millionaire and his family dressed for their tour of Italy in shorts, graphic Tshirts and thongs. Straight out of Jeans West.
Tu e la tua guida turistica non avete capito nulla. Parlate solo per invidia .... noi non viviamo in buchi di cemento come a Londra e Hong Kong. In Italia viviamo in appartamenti che voi sognate ...... anzi voi sognate l'Italia .....
99% of Italians are just dressed like everyother persone outside Italy.
Most common style
Are from
H&M
Zara
And other fast fashion brands ,
Shoes are mostly sneakers like Nike or similar. You’re welcome
I believe you could find some better examples for us next time.
Yes tey do.
The guy at 0:21 is the son-in-law of Brunello Cucinelli. No wonder is well dressed.

When traveling, I dress like a tourist, all purpose and all occasion clothes because I travel carrying only a carry-on luggage and personal bag.
Bro Piombo is definitely not 50 years old as a brand
It’s oviesse

please ask also what fragrance they wear
Good point thanks
Blazer is with 1 "z".😊
what do you think about Solovair
For their Price you can't find Made in England Shoes, but their style is not for me :(
Wrong. Money talks. If you go to every rich area in bigger cities, they all look the same.
It’s easy to dress good if you are this rich. Everybody can do that. How me something exciting.
I love the way Italians dress. They have a way of making themselves look better by dressing well, as opposed to dragging attention towards their clothes. The people in this video are not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the more average Italian.
0:43 a motherf-ing 912 RS 😵💫🥵
@@artgreen6915 yeh dude, I live in London and I don't think there's anywhere else in the world with the same level of car sophistication/madness... but an original RS is a whole different level of cool. We do get sone Singers and restomod 912s here, but if it's original... that's pretttty sick
They’re overdressed though. Why are you walking around in fancy polished dress shoes 😂
If its made in Italia its fancy
Best dressed @ 0.21

That's not how "italian men" dress, that's how "a specific demographic of italian men" dress, i.e. over 30 middle-upper or upper class in Milan with a good job in services, sales and trade, or even in fashion industry, high or very high level education (university degree at least) from wealthy families or else with a good deal of money, in a day or an hour when they're clearly not working (if it is a working day, then they're not working full time). So maybe... 0,001% of italian men?
Go in other streets than the fashion districts, go in other cities than Milan, interview other age ranges than over 40, go into grocery markets and shop, go in blue collar neighborhoods, go in front of postal offices or peripheral schools... That could give you the REAL taste of what italian men wear.
Envy
@@jasminehasan890 No, it's not. I'm Italian, I KNOW how "Italian men" (and women) dress, and I KNOW it's not this way. At least, not for the great majority of them.
No youre not italian, now talk about how your country blindly dress “Laurelin” ahahahaha Mhilano is not even that good, just the capital of brands…., othter parts are even better 😊
@@KeyserSoze-vi6xe I'm Italian, whether you like it or not. And what you see in the video is not what I see in the NORMAL (not the city centre, not the fashion districts, not the banks or offices districts) streets of Rome.
You CAN see even better dressed people in Rome, IN THE CITY CENTRE. But that's not a representative sample of ALL Italian people.
Italian people have good taste in dressing. But what you see in the video is over-the-top, very fashionista or too unusual, many are dressed like they're going to a party or a ceremony. That's not the way NORMAL people are dressed for their EVERYDAY life or work (unless they work in the fashion- or show-business).
The sound is awful

traveling the world you recognize an Italian at 500 meters even if he is in jeans and a t-shirt, it's just a matter of style, we are absolutely unmatched!
I was in Tokyo in 20'23, it was winter and it was cold, I was dressed very casually, only worried about staying warm, yet some girls approached me and asked "Are you Italian?" I answered yes, and they laughed covering their mouths with their hands, one of them started naming several Italian cities and some famous Italian sports personalities, then she added that they had bet seeing how I was dressed, I asked what made me so identifiable since I thought I was dressed in an absolutely anonymous way, the answer was surprising, they talked about color combinations and how I wore clothes in a "perfect" way according to them, also noticing the shoes, they also said, that especially in winter, Italians in Tokyo are rare but you can immediately recognize them, they are the ones who dress with STYLE!
This was said by nice girls from Tokyo.
In the summer in Italy, you can see a multitude of tourists from all over Europe and even the US, in the summer heat they are dressed like Italians with light clothes, shorts to the knee, and sandals, but the Italians appear pleasant to the eye, the tourists are often ridiculous, I can't explain the difference, maybe it's the colors, the wrong sizes of clothes, I don't know what to say, they are always simply ridiculous.
The English and Germans, especially, are often truly terrible!
Tourists from the US are easily identifiable and are certainly better than the English and Germans, tourists from northern Europe such as the Dutch, Swedes, and Norwegians, are unwatchable LOL
Style is not just wearing a designer dress, style must also exist in jeans and a t-shirt or a light summer shirt, as only an Italian can wear it, it's genetic!
Let's not even talk about women or girls, here we can't even open a discussion, any foreigner disappears when an Italian woman or girl shows up, in her perfect minimalistic simplicity!
You who seem to be a traveler, do a survey in the East, like Korea, Japan, and other places and ask their opinion, being Asian will tell you from the outside what they see and think, and you will be surprised, to hear from everyone, two words: Italian Style!
for example, with that dull pale blue shirt how can you wear a silk scarf of that color over that shirt, it's simply ridiculous! believe me, go in front of the mirror and look at yourself without thinking about the value or beauty of the individual item, look at the whole, it's chromatically terribly unbalanced!
You will discover that you need a darker shirt to wear that scarf, you will find the color in the design of the scarf, or you will look like an idiot!
You will also discover the color of that shirt does not go well with the color of your skin and your eyes, YOU CANNOT WEAR A SHIRT OF THAT COLOR!
The signature or the value does not matter, it is simply wrong for you.
in addition,
the scarf has no point of color that recalls the shirt, appearing like a dishcloth thrown around the neck, even if it is silk (at least it seems) and has an important value-
The choice of the color of the garments compared to your own colors is the starting point, the reflection of the light blue shirt on your skin makes you a zombie! bluish, look at yourself and you will see it!
Your color is a gray not blue, light gray shirt, for that medium or dark gray scarf, the gray will highlight your eyes and you will surely earn even in presence, remaining sporty.
this is just an example (but I was not joking change shirt) Italians have all this in their DNA they do not even realize it they just do it!
Bel video molto interessante! ciao
The Italian style is something genetic that comes from ancient times. When Poppea bathed in the donkey's milk that her maids poured for her or when Lucullus organized banquets with the best delicacies, the Barbarians, that is, the current inhabitants of the Nordic countries, were a nomadic people who slept in tents, did not wash themselves and had long and dirty hair, they didn't cook the meat but ate it raw, tearing it with their teeth after letting it mature by placing it between the saddle and the horse, on long journeys to quench their thirst they cut into the horse's neck and drank its blood and they didn't know writing to pass on their deeds when Rome had Virgil and Caesar.😀
You know how you can tell an Italian? Lazy, occupied with looks, always bragging about stuff, perennial under performers in anything not involving fashion or art..that’s how rest of the world identified most Italians
🤩😍👌🏻🙌🎥
🤗
In Germany more and more the dirty and worn out jogging pants are the first choice 🤮
They are the worse trousers :(
In a nutshell, truzzo.
Just got back from Italy, style wise nothing eye catching and rather boring. Football matches are the best place to see style cats, guys in the know... Milan trendies San Siro & etc. Italians n# 1 late 70s right into mid 80s .
We American love T-shirts n shorts n flip-flops ❤ which makes European folks jealous. 😂
hahah
T-shirts, shorts and flip flops. No wonder people in other countries laugh at us.
