Smart & Casual & Effortless

I was browsing through The Ultimate street style blog- The Satorialist- and just once again fell completely, naively and unconditionally in love with Italian men. Their sense of style that is. For me they are the embodiment of smart-casual-effortless dressing. Yes, that is one word as I recall. And I'm always thrilled when Scott photographs in Milan. 
Now all I can think about is linen button-ups with rolled up sleeves and unbuttoned just as low as your ego allows you without shame (and say, how charming are those wrinkles in those shirts? Probably as charming as is a charming prince on a white horse), slouchy khaki chinos, a chunky watch and a pair of white converse sneakers. Be still my heart!










And for a more feminine take...
