SETTE MAGAZINE EN VOGUE L’IRRESISTIBILE FASCINO DEL CARDIGAN

The most common alternative to a suit it’s a cardigan, which is a buttoned pullover. A woolen blazer instead of one made of cloth, makes your outfit look less severe, and helps you get a soft, reassuring figure. I only recommend not to wear this outfit if you want to dress to impress or if you’e about to have a meeting where you wish to show how confident and professional you are. In that case you should go for a suit. A short cardigan sweater, Is more related to a classic way of dressing, it defines your body structure and it always works, even for those shorter than average height. A longer cardigan which goes down over your belt, would fit more taller non-skinny men. Less common and more modern but harder to match (Never wear it with close fitting trousers for example). Giorgio Armani has been proposing it so many times because it well represents the Armani-man’s identity: not taller than 1.85 cm, with big shoulders and strong legs.You can see the result from yourself in the picture: it’s a timeless look. Hard to resist. Picture taken with Instagram from a 2001 “Uomo” editorial. Original picture by Norman Watson.

L’UOMO VOGUE SETTEMBRE 1986

Questo scatto di Peter Lindbergh fa parte di un monografico dedicato alla Cina uscito nell’autunno del 1986. Le stringate in pelle scamosciata con para alta di Cesare Paciotti erano un must dell’epoca. Il trench-coat di Reporter con le maniche ampie sarebbe giustissimo per oggi.

This shot by Peter Lindbergh is part of a Monograph on China released in the fall of 1986. The lace up shoes in suede with an high para by Cesare Paciotti were a must of the time. The trench-coat by Reporter with wide sleeves would be perfect also today.
