Next, I added some casual items to the Milan Fit. I paired a boat-neck Basque shirt, which everyone owns at least one of, with washed denim from cantate for the bottoms, creating a "French trad" look. I personally wore a high-density broadcloth shirt from cantate under the Basque shirt and added a neckerchief to give it a "stylish and luxurious" feel. I completed the look with Church's shoes, mixing in styles from various countries. Maybe I went a little overboard... (laughs).

Furthermore, the Milano Fit style evokes the image of "a spoiled European who studied in America, became Americanized, and then started mixing and matching different styles upon returning," by coordinating a cantate shirt with Kenneth Field Gurkha pants. It's a look that's "clean, but with a deeper edge."

For ties, let's incorporate some British-style patterns that are trending this season. It's like "a Brit bought a navy blazer at Brooks Brothers and paired it with a tie he already owned" (lol).
Recently, classic Italian brands have been incorporating British and American details, which I think is the same approach as mixing and matching items from various countries in the original American traditional style. As authentic wear, I recommend a mixed coordination with a navy blazer as the base!
