I have followed GQ magazine since my college days, and I still look to them for savvy fashion advice and the latest trends for men. I thought you would appreciate their list of:

5 Reasons Italian Men Always Look Good

1. The Year-Round Bronze
Somehow, they maintain their tans.

2. Suits that Fit
Always a quarter inch of cuff showing, always just the slightest break in their trousers.

3. The Exposed Ankle
In the warmer months, no socks. Ever.

4. Because Less Is More
The best-dressed Italians keep it simple, relying on perfectly tailored pieces made from excellent fabrics.

5. And Because They Care
A little vanity goes a long way. These guys always make the effort.
