Italian Fashion

I love the way that Italian men dress.  It is so effortlessly put together and chic.  The men almost always have on nice leather shoes, slim slacks or a suit, a bright shirt and tie and the most important accessory of all, sunglasses.  With this outfit on, they will always hop onto their scooter or bike and zoom off, never sweating or getting dusty and dirty.  These photos below are a perfect representation of the quintessential Italian man.

Not only do the men dress well, but so do their children.  I absolutely had to take pictures of these cute boys in front of the Duomo in Florence.  His brother right behind him is taking a picture of their parents in front of the church. 

Look at the jacket!  And that pose! 

And those aviators!  Classic Italian.  Clearly they start teaching their children early how to dress.  People watching is one of my favorite things to do on vacation and I highly recommend while in Italy to have a seat at a bar patio in the afternoon, drink a few beers, and watch the men (and women) on their way home from work.
