If you are one who likes to be way ahead in terms of fashion and look forward to fashion forecasts eagerly then this winter try Corneliani’s jackets and shirts to construct an elegant style. According to the luxury label white shirt, black tie and tartan: these are the constants that define the contemporary dandy at Corneliani, a man who constructs his elegant style with his intellect, a man for whom good taste demands continual exposure to new cultural inspirations.

Sergio Corneliani, Creative Director at the Mantuan maison, has dreamed up a contemporary man who is elegant and discreetly knows it. For this contemporary man the jacket sits easy at the waist, and the cut of the shoulder is soft and natural. The elongated silhouette is tempered by the crisp but short trousers, without the afterthought of a turn-up. The coat is as fulsomely long as ever, with a half-belt or to wear with a belt. The clean, minimal design of the biker-style jacket with its matte-finish crocodile stands out, creating an unostentatious matte look. For him the sportiest garments tend to the subtly generous in size, evoking geometries and patterns on a square-shape theme.

 The strictly cashmere suit comes with impeccable ash-grey fine Prince of Wales check, brown bird’s eye, or the sobriety of solid dark blue and jet black. The knitwear keeps evolving with a wealth of original variants. The collection expertly underlines the value of sartorial savoir-faire with an innovative twist, where the blue-green tartan pattern – which finds expression in the overcoat and the jacket, in the trousers, the heavy jacket and even the bag inserts – becomes the iconic motif of the autumn/winter 2014 wardrobe by Corneliani, the exponent of a style imbued with the power of tradition for over half a century.
