There's something appealing about wearing a suit when you don't have to. Pair it with loafers, skip the tie or don't—and make it your own. The point is, the rules don't apply anymore.

What We’re Wearing

Summer Suiting

Maybe you’ve got some summer weddings coming up. Maybe you’ve got an important presentation or just a sexy date on the calendar. These are the few occasions that call for a man to don a suit. But even when there’s not a so-called dress code, you could pull on a proper jacket and pair of trousers. Slip into some loafers and hell, even knot up a silk tie.

When you don't have to do something, that alone is often reason enough to try it. Which is why we're pulling on a relaxed and reasonably-priced suit and wearing it everywhere—with breezy dress shirts, knit polos and even vintage band tees underneath.

At the first @anantaraconcorsoroma, Lamborghini arrived with an answer. A 1972 Miura SV, restored by Polo Storico and returned to its original specification after three years of work and extensive archive research. That part matters more than the usual concours language.
