Men's Style: The Art of SprezzaturaMensfashion Sprezzatura

The term sprezzatura is an Italian word that first appeared in 'The Book of the Courtier' by Baldassare Castiglione published in 1528, where it is defined as: a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or say appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it.

In today's fashion the term sprezzatura, as a men's style of dressing, has come to mean many different and varying things, due to general overuse and lack of knowledge about this style trend in general. Defined as nonchalant attitude, unstudied apparel, carefree, 'artful dishevelment', clothing rebellion, the key concept of sprezzatura is always: men’s outfits should never look too perfect.

The trick to successfully pull off this artful dishevelment is subtlety in a great sartorial know-how. 

Any fashion quirk is subtle and understated. It takes confidence and the end result should always be an impeccable outfit.
