Client Spotlight: Sartorial Elegance on the Amalfi Coast
There’s something timeless about linen, Italy, and a convertible with the top down. For this Hall Madden client, the Amalfi Coast wasn’t just a destination—it was the perfect runway for his bespoke summer wardrobe.
For his Italian getaway, we collaborated on a suit that embodies refined leisure. Cut from Loro Piana’s Summertime fabric, this cream-colored two-piece breathes sophistication. Lightweight, crisp, and woven from a blend of wool, silk, and linen, the fabric was selected for its ideal balance between elegance and comfort—perfect for the Mediterranean sun.
The styling? Effortlessly cool. Our client paired the suit with a blue and white striped open-collar shirt, a silk neckerchief, and a crisp Panama hat. A peacock blue pocket square added a dash of sprezzatura, while vivid cobalt suede loafers grounded the look in playful Italian flair.
Captured behind the wheel of a vintage red convertible, on a terrace overlooking Positano, or casually sipping Peroni by the cliffside, this is more than a travel diary—it’s a masterclass in destination dressing.
Fabric: Loro Piana Summertime
Occasion: Summer travel, coastal formal, relaxed wedding guest
Styling Advice: Ditch the tie, embrace the scarf. Lean into contrast textures—poplin, suede, straw—for depth and interest.
This suit proves that even on vacation, tailoring doesn’t take time off. When in Italy, dress like the main character.
