Learn how to dress like Alessandro Squarzi! An Italian interpretation of American casual wear for adults!

(2) The use of light tones to create a sophisticated look is a good reference!

The use of light tones in coloring gives a sophisticated look to an outfit. It has also attracted attention as a trend over the past few years. However, since the combination of light colors tends to create a weak contrast in coordination and give a flat impression, many people may say, “I’ve been thinking about it, but I’m not ready to take the first step because it seems too difficult. Alessandro Squalzi’s style is a good reference for such people. In the styling below, dark brown is chosen for the sunglasses, belt, and leather shoes to tie together the light-toned items. By rhythmically using dark tones in the upper, middle, and lower parts of the outfit, he creates an urban impression.

Look at the 8:2 balance of light and dark tones!

When we checked Mr. Alessandro Squalzi’s snaps, we found that he often coordinates his outfits with a certain color balance. This is a color balance in which 80% of the outfits are put together in light tones, while the remaining 20% is tightened up with dark tone items such as black and dark brown. In most cases, the items chosen for the dark tones are not clothing items, such as sunglasses and leather shoes. Many of you may already have orthodox black sunglasses and leather shoes, so please take a look at them for reference.

(3) Jeans with no cushioning for a clean look!

Even when wearing casual jeans, it is the Squalzi way to maintain a certain level of elegance. The tapered silhouette with just the right amount of room to flatter the line of the leg and the light, no-cushion length create a sophisticated look. The vintage jeans have an exquisite faded look with distinctive damage and repairs, whiskers, and vertical fading.

Don’t miss the casual one-roll technique on the hem of the pants!

The technique of rolling the hem of the pants is an exquisite way to adjust the length of the pants. Especially in the case of denim pants, many fashionable people use this technique to show off the “chain stitch” and “mimi” details on the underside. Alessandro Squalzi also uses the one-roll technique in a high percentage of his jeans, so please take a look at it for reference.

(4) Add an elegant accent by flashing a scarf around the neck!

A scarf accent around the neck is a good idea when wearing a shirt with no necktie. Alessandro Squalzi often incorporates a scarf accent around the neck as a finishing touch or to spice up the color of his outfits. Since the use of scarves can be seen in the snaps introduced so far, many of you may have already spotted it.

The key to adding a scarf is to make it relate to other items!

If you are going to incorporate a scarf around your neck, it is also important to keep in mind what kind of design you should choose. If you check out Mr. Squalzi’s snaps, you will see that he often incorporates scarves that are related to other items. For example, in the snap below, a one tone dark blue scarf is set against a light blue shirt outerwear to tie the outfit together. If you are trying out scarves for the first time, your chances of success will be greatly increased if you are conscious of coordinating with color associations like this.
