16 rules to live by courtesy of our resident “italian guy” and bona fide style icon

It’s no secret that we love Giampaolo Alliata’s style. He’s one of our all-time greatest style icons and someone that everyone could (and should) learn something from.

Here are a few takeaways via Giampaolo’s Instagram account.

Rule No. 3:
