How to dress for Monaco - shop the summer menswear collection

Sartoriale's stylist has created a classic summer menswear outfit to show you off at your best. Of course, this men's collection is not only perfect for the Grand Prix, but will also impress on a weekend in The Hamptons or a long lazy weekend in Portofino.

A quick trip to Monaco for the Formula 1 weekend is the ultimate way of expressing that "you've made it in life". Whilst the noise, smell and heat of those race engines fill the air, the discerning gentleman should emanate an air of cool sophistication in his manner and dress.

Men's Luxury Summer Weekend Outfit

Blazer:

The double-breasted bespoke Rubinacci navy blazer epitomizes everything that we love about their hand-made tailoring. The rakish cut will make you stand out in a crowd, yet the extremely light and soft construction will maintain your cool, calm and collected poise.

The generous lapels are a feature that the Rubinacci clientele appreciate as a touch that elegantly pairs tradition with a modern style. The finishing touch is the Rubinacci engraved naval buttons, to make you feel perfectly at home on the Riviera.

This new bespoke never-worn jacket originally retailed at $6,900, but is available now on Sartoriale.com for only $2,890.

Or you can shop for summer blazers from our Linen Blazers collection.

Shirt:

A shirt for summer must be light and the right fit. It is a sure bet that at some point during the day that you will take off your jacket, so your shirt has to be excellent quality cotton that can maintain its form and not expose you as the 'crease king'.

How should you wear a summer shirt?

Well, for a social casual event, such as the F1 Grand Prix, it is best to adopt a sans tie look. You can leave as many buttons undone as you dare on your handmade Kiton shirt.

Trousers:

It's no use knowing how to wear a blazer if the rest of your pants do not match in style. Such a summer outfit calls for light-colored short hemmed trousers, preferably with double pleats to compliment the blazer.

Our 'Monaco look' trousers follow the English style with waist adjuster tabs that will maintain the position around the waist without the need for a perhaps sometimes uncomfortable and unnecessary belt... summer men's style is all about being unencumbered by anything that adds weight.

These bold white Sartoria Chiaia handmade slim fit pants offset the strong blue substance of the Rubinacci jacket.

Shoes:

Driving loafers feel especially at home on casual summer occasions, even if you are not behind the wheel.

The navy blue moccasins from Kiton (hand made in Napoli, Italy) match the outfit's blazer - a staple of sartorial elegance being to simplify your color scheme, so as not to appear distasteful in your wardrobe selection.

Accessories:

A hand rolled silk pocket square in a fresh summery colour is the right way to give your outfit a personal touch.

Don't forget to choose the right pair of designer Kiton sunglasses to protect your eyes in the beautiful Riviera sunshine and to maintain an air of mystery among the glamour set frequenting the F1 paddock and the grandiose yachts harboured in the Monaco marina.
