Let’s be honest: women have it really easy compared to men when it comes to fashion. It’s enough to flip through a magazine and you can already decide which style you prefer.
Are you elegant and classy? Then copy the look of Kate Winslet or Cate Blanchett.
Do you prefer the youthful, fresh style? Go with Blake Lively!
Are you divinely glamorous and sensual? Well, the eternal divas of the big screen could offer you some extra inspiration. Just make it a movies night with your girls, and look at those fabulous dresses that Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo or Ava Gardner have loved.
Or maybe you like the boho chic version? The Olsen Twins and Nicole Richie made this their trademark, so follow their lead, ladies!
As I said, we have it quite easy, but that isn’t the case with our male counterparts. Surely, you could argue that there are a couple of dashing, stylish men in this great world, but still you have to recognize that few of them manage to become iconic when it comes to their personal style.
Lapo Elkann, the nephew of Gianni Agnelli is really someone worth watching in matter of style. He is a masculine version of Kate Moss, having legions of loyal followers, who consider him some kind of guru in matters of fashion.
Forget for a second about his “Lapo Luxury” nickname, or the L’Uomo Vogue cover and the fact that Vanity Fair has listed him as one of the Best Dressed people on Earth, and admire his shabby chic style, and that sexy air of an eternal dandy, which surrounds him each time.
Probably, men envy him for his female conquests, while the ladies, for his family fortune, but I do it for the sartorial suits inherited from his grandfather. He took the sprezzatura style from Agnelli to a complete new level, showing that a naughty dandy as he is can play with styles and interpret fashion better than most of the acclaimed designers out there.
Lapo has created innumerous trends, constantly experimenting with fashion and showing that he isn’t afraid of bold colors, or fusions between timeless classics and modern items.
This first-class playboy is a true tastemaker of the XXI century. If you want to copy his style, pair some vintage jeans with a double-breasted blazer…still, I need to warn you: NO ONE CAN BE AS FOXY AS LAPO IS!
