Cucinelli in Men’s Ex

A friend of mine wants more suits that he can “take apart” (ie wear the jackets and pants as separates). I generally find this very difficult to do, especially if you’re on a limited budget and constrained to off-the-rack garments. Suits often have a certain drape and sheen, and if you pair them with odd-trousers, you’ll just look like you spilled something on your pants and had to change.

Men’s Ex, however, showed some pretty compelling ways you can dress down a suit. In both cases, the gentleman changed into some chinos, and in one, he put on a down vest. It’s hard to tell from this distance what material the suits are made from, but they certainly seem to be a heavier cloth (one may be flannel wool?). I’m normally skeptical of wearing chalkstripe jackets as odd jackets, but it seems to work here.

Lastly, just for fun, I included some photos of Cuincelli’s home collection. I’ve been trying to decorate my new apartment in Moscow, but things are providing difficult. I really want to avoid IKEA, but I haven’t come across any interior design stores that are both appealing and affordable. My guess is that if there’s a “Cucinelli home collection” in Moscow, it will be even more out of my reach. Ralph Lauren Home had simple chairs for $8,000.
