There is one simple rule of men’s fashion, which you would find in probably any men’s fashion magazine that you pick – men look their best when wearing a perfectly tailored suit.
However, what you need to learn to outdo the so-called ‘said so’ terminology is smart pairings of well-cut blazers and trousers. This is what the Italians call spezzato that will showcase your individuality, as you go on about adding bright colors to your wardrobe.

Spezzato means ‘broken’ or to put in simple language – it refers to the pairing of a separate jacket and trousers to produce a look that’s like a suit, but less sophisticated and much more vibrant.
Popular in the streets of Milan, the trend is fast catching up with men’s fashion in India, finding its place in the top men’s fashion magazines, and few of the best fashion blogs that talk about men’s clothing.
What it does is, give you a feel of formal touch, but keeps you look young, contemporary, and chic.

Here’s how you can master the technique…
Go Light and Dark
There is no doubt that Khaki and cream suits are warm-weather classics and can uplift the mood of your wardrobe, but for a change, pair a darker blazer with lighter trousers, like this classic navy-and-beige combo. The reverse is also as effective though.

Be Experimental With Pattern
It sure is a serious commitment to wearing a pattern from head to toe. A jacket in plaid, stripes, or a bold graphic print lets you turn down the volume but still make a statement.
You’re generally better off going patterned upstairs, solid downstairs.
Don’t be scared of mixed proportions
You can wear a boxier, more structured jacket, like a double-breasted blazer with trim trousers.
Conversely, a fitted, cropped, single-breasted jacket can look surprisingly good with a roomier, even pleated, pair of pants.
The shoes maketh the outfit
People can make out a lot about a man by what he puts on his feet. Mixing your jackets, blazers and suit trousers does one the big door of opportunities, but if you opt for the wrong pair of shoes, it may shut on you as quickly as it had opened.
Brogues are the best. Slide-on loafers will do the trick too. However, don’t forget to opt for colored socks which will catch some eyes, without being too loud.
We would recommend you check out Corneliani as one of your bets, as it is an authentic brand with a great history.
