Shamelessly Seductive Italian Style: A New Dallas Store Embraces the Real Power of Milan

There are three steps to dressing like an Italian gentleman: Look smart, be shamelessly seductive and, above all, embrace the fine art of tailoring. Such are the lessons to be learned from Milan–based Canali, which brings its impeccable Italian-made sartorial wares to NorthPark Center this month with the opening of the Canali boutique, the second in Texas; a Houston store opened in October.

The NorthPark store is filled with Italian marble and beautiful etched-glass paneling and stocks suits, jackets and trousers; leisurewear and accessories; formalwear; and most importantly, the made-to-measure department for which Canali is perhaps most famous, coveted by heads of state and street-style stars alike.

And while Canali is opening just in time to freshen one’s spring wardrobe, the Fall 2016 collection, which just showed at Men’s Fashion Week in Milan, imparts lust. Canali creative director Andrea Pompilio pushes the boundaries of traditional bespoke with velvet bomber jackets, shearling overcoats and suiting in green blue and eggplant, along with the more traditional.
