what constitutes sprezzatura? (a serious inquiry)

[cheessus]

could a wrinkly shirt? and by wrinkly, i mean it was air dried and tossed in the dryer on that no heat tossing setting.

im thinking more patterned since the wrinkles would be less prominent but then would it really be sprezz if i tried to hide the fact that there are wrinkles? maybe moreso sprezz???? please halpQ

If you have to think about it that much, it ain't sprezz.

They don't get it...

Spezz is about about having a personal casual approach to conservative clothing...

Search Gianni Agnelli ...

Sprezz is just Italian for dressing stupidly, like wearing a watch on the exterior of your shirtcuff, or pairing orange rubber shoes with a brown suit. It is unfortunately indirectly responsible for all the doofuses wearing anal beads on their wrists and neon green socks with business attire that you see in WAYWRN.

FWIW no one can tell your shirt is wrinkled when you wear a jacket, and even less so when you wear a tie.

That video is a coup worthy of Joseph Goebbels.

Well, he must have ironed on those patches, so he's got an iron somewhere...

A serious question deserves a serious answer.

I think a good example is John Lennon. Recall any photo of him you've ever seen. Wearing a white three-piece suit or a t-shirt he always looked at home in his clothes and comfortable in his body. It's a gift that may not be attainable, though, unless we're born with it.

Have to disagree. Spezz or Sprezz (or ****** as I call it) does not equal rock star

I salute you sir. An excellent summary with which I fully concur. I usually try to reply to the post, not the poster, but on the strength of this post I will be looking out for further pearls of wisdom from you. Please keep it up, the board needs more common sense of this ilk among the deluded circle jerks.

Agreed, and I wouldn't call Lennon a rock star. He was an enormous force in the culture at a pivotal moment of the 20th Century, an advocate for peace, a poet. I mean we're not talking about David Lee Roth...
