Yes, agree with everything you say about Tucci apart from one thing. He sometimes wears an awful trainer/deck shoe/lace up.

What I really admire about his clothing selection is it manages to be contemporary without looking like he is trying to be youthful. He exemplifies a dressing for grown ups approach without looking staid. He obviously cares about his appearance as everything looks precise - no knuckle dragging sleeve lengths or oversized collar sizes.

I also really like that he sticks to a limited colour palette. Lots of navy, white or cream. He obviously knows what works for him.

On Insta he offers a humorous take on cocktails. Never takes himself too seriously.

I enjoyed the Italy show when it was originally on CNN so much that I bought his book but unfortunately it has yet to reach the top of an ever growing bedside selection.

You can't fault the guys enthusiasm.

Tucci´s American-Italian style is … well, not bad.
But ... i have to admit, i´m much more excited and inspired by the kind of Italian-American (Ivy-related) style that some, mostly elderly (northern) Italian gentiluomini sport in such a wonderful way. And this goes like that: Soft button-down shirts (not necessarily oxford cloth) in lighter blue, khaki slacks (not the US-Army type of course, more „cottons“, flat fronted, maybe what Incotex offered some 20 years ago), topped off with some cashmere or lambswool round-neck sweater in navy or ink-blue or bottle green. Slung elegantly over the shoulders most of the time. The fit is never too tight but just right. Loafers are a must. Alden LHS in suede, or C&J Boston, Harvard. Or driving-shoes. Suede leather, choc brown, blue, sometimes in more adventurous colours like lighter green or even terracotta. No socks! A tan is obligatory.

That's definitely a post TRS will enjoy, WIL.

I have always admired the way most Italian cities, I have visited over the years, appear to have plenty of specialist independent menswear stores.
Last time I was in Naples the number of shirt shops was amazing.

The only bad thing, that became obvious over time,  there didn't seem to be much variation in what they wore.

In Milan one Winter for example I saw a lot of older guys wearing Tods chucka boots, grey flannels and A1 style suede jackets. Yes, they look a million miles sharper than most British men of their age but once you've seen the exact same look fifty times it gets a bit predictable.

Zegna, whilst expensive, have had some some lovely brushed flannel button downs over the years.

What a great post WIL.

Wish WIL would post more often.  He's always worth reading.

Yes, a very knowledgeable chap. Put me straight on the make of Car Shoe Gianni Agnelli wore.

I would love to try and carry off that look described by WIL, but I don't think it'd work here in the suburbs of Surrey.

This is the weather to go 'Full Tucci' - shades, linen shirt, white Levis, no socks, Alden loafers. And you know what? As I'm nibbling my Magnum in the shade later this afternoon I must just open a second button on my shirt. Sexy Ivy.

'nibbling my Magnum in the shade'

Pure filth.

If I could nibble my very own 'Magnum' my what a happy chap I would be.

My very humble experience tells me that there is indeed a certain kind of ladies who do feel attracted by men wearing white jeans. But i´m still not sure if this is enough for a bit of Magnum nibbling?

The average human body, male or female, is often best not viewed in broad daylight.  A woman is often more profoundly alluring when clothed in certain, highly specific ways, leaving something - much - to the imagination. 
Frosty once discussed the 'Readers Wives' pages of porno mags circa 1970.  The spotty botty was often in gruesome, close-up evidence. 
I once stole a kiss from Vanessa Redgrave.  Now there was a woman for you.
