What makes "The Look" appealing to me is the use of solids and understated materials. Having owned lots of vintage 60s thrift stuff, I can attest to a certain flatness to the colors and dullness of fabrics that was part of the overall appeal. these things also added to the uniformity that was to me essential to the power of the Ivy (or whatever adjective you prefer) Look.
I understand that this thread is about how that original stuff has evolved, but I kind of agree with @chinesealpha ... when you start referencing (admittedly nice) modern Italian stuff -- fancy socks, ties and shoes -- the original appeal of The Look somehow gets lost in translation.
