Photographer Tommy Ton is at Pitti Uomo, the menswear extravaganza in Florence, and is photographing some of the slickest men in the world for GQ. A lot of wonderful inspiration.
“— Glenn O’Brien on mastering business casual.1. Get a soft-shouldered cotton sports jacket. I buy them whenever I see them. They’re pliable, comfy, and easy to pack. They do the job of a sweater but look dressier and have lots of pockets.
2. Cashmere sweaters, especially V-necks. Can’t have enough of those, whether they’re four figures from Hermÿs or two figures from Uniqlo. I actually once noticed a stylish Uniqlo salesman wearing two at the same time, in lime and in sea blue. A great look.
3. Good chinos or sporty flat-fronts are a must. Maybe my best casual pants are Helmut Lang from back when there was a Helmut Lang.
4. The button-down-collar oxford cloth shirt.

Our friend(1) Adam Scott looking sharp in an all-American summer outfit at the Scott Pilgrim premiere, via GQ.
(1) Is friend the wrong word? Maybe. But maybe not. After all, Sandwich worked long and hard on Scott’s hit film Torque, the one that basically MADE Scott’s career, and Scott was over at my house once. And then his mom sent me a nice email about Santa Cruz. So… yes. Friend is wrong. That should read BEST FRIEND.
Jim Nelson, Editor-in-Chief of GQ out on the street and living the lifestyle. I’m definitely liking this tweed and solid gray tie combo; keeping it simple and classy.
Nice and Casual
This is a wonderful example of a dressed-down suit. This look would fly in most business-casual contexts, with its relatively casual fabric and simple styling. It could also work in a more formal creative professional’s wardrobe - say a designer or an ad executive. Besides all that, he looks great, right?
Glenn O’Brien, GQ’s Style Guy, knows exactly what the f dressing like a grownup is all about. This guy is so consistent he makes me want to wear Belgian Shoes. Also: as you can see in the photo above he always brings the flavor.
PS: 501s.

Billy Reid was awarded GQ’s Men’s Designer of the Year award, and it’s well-deserved. Reid exemplifies what we’re trying to guide you towards here at Put This On: a grown-up style that’s both traditional and expressive. We also love hearing someone talk about quality details like natural fabrics and buttons. Good for Billy Reid, says we.
