00:00 Spezzato Introduction
Menswear connoisseurs know the term Spezzato in reference to the inimitable way Italian men split up a suit, wearing the trousers from one and the jacket of another with seemingly effortless style.
01:28 What Does Spezzato Mean?
It is an advanced sartorial technique that involves mixing the jacket (and perhaps a matching vest) from one suit with the pants of another. Although there isn’t a formal distinction, there are really two approaches to doing this.
