The one button suit is something you don't really see that often nowadays. However it can be a good option to expand your range of suits to wear for not only more formal parties and social events but also for business occasions. Today I take a look at one of my recent suits: a gray single-breasted one button suit made of Vitale Barberis Canonico super 150s wool. The suit differs from most of my suits due to the wide peak lapels and especially the buttoning of the jacket. The gray one button suit with DLA gray wool tie, white shirt and black tassel loafers.

Most of my ties are plain. And I like them that way. However, every now and then you might want to feature some pattern in your ties. So do I.

And I need to admit that these two are perfect additions to my wardrobe as they are versatile and diverse choices to wear for business and for leisure.

Pitti Uomo is not just superfluous peacocks posing at the plaza of Fortezza da Basso. In fact it is much more than that. Among the guys who participate to the fair there are still bunch of most well-dressed men who continue to uphold the simple, effortless elegance and authentic style. To continue the short reports from Florence I decided to pick few shots featuring outfits I personally wanted to highlight as "best of Pitti Uomo 91" in terms of street style.

One Pitti Uomo again behind. Last week we had four busy, yet sensuous days in Florence. Then a couple of relaxing days in Milan. More detailed reviews and thoughts are coming up later. But before that as a Friday inspiration a short sneak peek to what I wore for the days in Florence. The week in Italy was busy as have been this week as I got back to work.

I decided to wear a full suit for each of the days I...
