Milan Top 5 | Tom Ford

Tom Fords always-dapper Dans slinked around the showroom on Via Borgonuovo in a quiet palette of sharply cut linen suits. Still shapely, the tonal single-breasted suits with a subtler notched lapel were punched up by graphic polka dot dress shirt and tie combinations in varying scales that looked especially chic.
