FRIDAY CHALLENGE 2nd February 2018: ITALIAN conservative business dress - CLASSICO CON SPREZZATURA

[Cleav]

Gentlemen, you are cordially invited to take part in this week's challenge,
ITALIAN conservative business dress - Classico con Sprezzatura.

In this Italian Conservative Business Dress style challenge (yes a replay of a favourite) let's look at classics with nonchalance. The more soporific the better. You will wear a suit or odd-jacket combination, a tie of course is encouraged. Key to the look is that the tie is quiet, though you will find less quiet examples (!) aside from that the choice is yours based on the excellent (IMHO) examples set out below.

Challenge details: Submissions must be posted by 1700hrs GMT Saturday 3rd February 2018. All submissions are to have been worn in 2018. The poll will go up directly on Saturday evening GMT and close on Monday 5th February 2018. For the summary post, if it can be posted, I will use only one picture per entrant and will choose your first offering.
Buona fortuna a tutti!

[Ich_Dien]

We'll see.

 

[Cleav]

Haha, another win then Cleav!

Nah, doubt it...

 

[Betelgeuse]

Haha, another win then Cleav!

This.

Will try to see if I can come up with something to participate.

 

[Cleav]

We'll see.

Mate, good to see you. You threatened to take part in this four years ago. Any chance your hat's in the ring?

 

[Cleav]

This.

Will try to see if I can come up with something to participate.

Looking forward to that buddy particularly after your recent acquisitions.

Regarding the choice I'm trying to open it up to as many as possible with sprezz giving some to play fast and loose. Then we as the voting public get to decide...

 

[Clouseau]

If i understand well, tie is encouraged but not mandatory ?
Earlier today. Parisian Sprezz ?

 

[Cleav]

Boom, the Inspector calls

 

[Betelgeuse]

Does a three piece suit qualifies as Italian conservative business dress?

 

[in stitches]

This should be fun.

This is about as nonchalant as I get. At least this suit is made from from the London Lounge "Agnelli" tweed. And the tie is from Shibumi Firenze. So, yeah, Italian. And nonchalant; don't forget nonchalant.

Dressing it down with large dots, a higher gorge and buttoning point than I like, and (gasp) medium grey. Unfortunately, too casual for the occasion.

This is I think my first contest participation thanks to @Clouseau's encouragement.

I prefer Massimo Girotti to Agnelli. Black tie sprezz:

 

[Newcomer]

Alright, well, did not exactly achieve the look I was going for (side bar, do not try to emulate Agnelli), but it turned out well enough (the shirt is a pale blue)

Shoes are dark brown brogues, again:

 

[Betelgeuse]

Nicely done NC!
