L'insouciance

If you're  in a bit of a style rut and looking for inspiration, I highly recommend perusing the street style photographs of GQ's Tommy Ton, taken outside Pitti Uomo in Milan. Granted, most of us cannot pull off the creative flare and colourful flamboyance these guys exude, but we can definitely mine them for some ideas.

If there is  only one idea that I think should be borrowed from these style maestros, I think it is their sense of insouciance--granted some of it affected. Notice how many buttons are undone, collars unevenly flipped, gloves tucked in pockets, etc.  You never want to look too buttoned, too restrained or too perfect-- unless you're Mitt Romney.
