Men's Wear That Melds Colors, Patterns and Proportions

Pitti Uomo, the twice-yearly men's wear event in Florence, Italy, is full of suits. But few at Pitti's latest installment in June contained as many multitudes as the suit Quentin Thrash was wearing on the sweltering Thursday we met, when local temperatures neared triple digits. Combining a double breasted jacket with flared pants, bright colors with dark shades and stripes with gingham, his suit looked both fresh and nostalgic. It was the type of ensemble that seemed as likely to have been bought off the rack as to have been assembled with items from a vintage store. Turns out, he had made the suit himself. Mr. Thrash, 36, designs a line of (mostly custom) clothes and accessories called Thrash Bespoke, and had come from Los Angeles to Pitti partly to promote it. 'L.A.'s a very casual place,' he said. 'People wear a lot of sweatpants and flip-flops and Crocs and things like that. And I like to set the bar high.' Mr. Thrash, who grew up in Georgia, said that as a designer, he leaned into mixing and matching patterns and colors. 'Just kind of doing unorthodox things in men's wear,' as he put it. 'If you look at my outfit, it's very traditional, it's very traditional tailoring,' he said. 'But the bell bottom, the flared pants,' he added, 'have a Western pocket on the back of them. It's like, there are a lot of details that I incorporate into my designs that you don't really see on a lot of custom suits.' Tap to see more looks

12 Raffia Bags I'm Eyeing for Summer Vacation, Inspired by the ‘It' Bag All Over Paris—Up to 52% Off

It's no secret that Americans love to take fashion inspiration from the French. While most of us could only dream of being so effortlessly chic, Parisians have it down pat—so who could blame us for wanting to borrow some of their go-to French fashion styles? Recently, the timeless basket bag has been making a comeback, and we've spotted the style on so many Paris locals. The bag comes in so many varieties, but it always offers the same elevated touch. From bucket bags to massive Dior totes, Paris locals have been putting the style to good use this summer. Inspired by their looks, I've been eyeing some raffia and straw tote bags to pack for my upcoming beach vacation. From spacious beach bags to minimalist clutches, keep reading to shop my favorites from $26. $165 $80 at Sam Edelman offers some of the most beautiful raffia totes, and they're significantly less expensive than other options of their caliber. This one features a unique structured design, leather shoulder straps, and a spacious interior that's perfect for any itinerary. I appreciate the interior pockets and magnetic closure, too, for storage and security. Quince is known for its refined takes on the classics, and this raffia crossbody is no exception. The raffia exterior and leather piping give it an elevated appearance. Plus, thanks to the adjustable leather strap, this bag can be worn as a casual crossbody or shoulder bag. Bucket bags can be easily styled for day or night, making them ideal for vacation, especially if you're working with limited carry-on space. This gorgeous version from features an intricate shell pattern that's darling for beach getaways. The interior lining has a drawstring closure to keep your items secure from pickpockets (and sand). Right now, it's 30 percent off when you use the code SHOPNOW, bringing the total under $100. I've officially added this tote to my cart. It's the perfect blend of unique and classic, so I'll feel comfortable wearing it on repeat without feeling like I'm making too big a statement. The leather handles add a sophisticated touch, too. It's large enough to hold all my beach essentials, including a towel, and I even plan on using it as a shopping tote when my wardrobe needs a midsummer refresh. If you're intimidated by the idea of carrying around a literal basket, this slouchy Anthropologie tote is a laid-back alternative. The striped pattern stands out among more classic raffia bags, and you can also snag it in a red and white version that's perfect for the beach. It's large enough to fit a laptop and even comes with a matching zippered pouch, so it can easily hold all the day's essentials. $128 $60 at I love how the rich brown leather accents the raffia body of this small tote. It's the perfect everyday bag: large enough for your phone, wallet, and water bottle, but not so big that it weighs you down throughout the day. Plus, it can be worn as a handbag or crossbody while out exploring for the day, then easily paired with a dressy outfit for dinner. If pickpockets are a concern on your travels, this secure crossbody deserves a spot in your suitcase. With a front flap closure, it locks with metal hardware, ensuring your items stay securely in place throughout your journey. It's not just functional, though: It looks great too, with rich vegan leather and gold hardware accents. $74 $40 at This is not your average raffia bag. According to one reviewer, this $40 tote looks so expensive that it 'could be a designer bag.' The slim design and long shoulder straps ensure that it won't feel overly bulky, while still being spacious enough for the day's essentials. Plus, this bag also has the most impressive organizational features on our list, including four interior pockets. When you're quickly running out the door, a slim yet spacious wristlet is key. This one is the perfect size for your phone, cards, and lip gloss. Plus, it takes up almost no space in a suitcase. This stylish clutch pairs two of my favorite trends: dumpling bags and raffia. It can hold your summer must-haves like sunglasses, sunscreen, and your wallet, though it's still small enough to hold in one hand. It also comes with a detachable chain that allows you to wear it crossbody, if you prefer. $199 $100 at The most fabulous destinations call for your most fabulous attire, and this tote bag fits the bill. Its large capacity makes it ideal for beach-goers and overpackers, and its dual leather handles add to its versatility. Plus, it comes with a removable zip pouch to keep your items secure and organized. Snag it while it's 50 percent off today. Love a great deal?
