Best of the Best - Style
Robb Report Singapore|September 2024
Lounging in a Maldivian resort, wine-tasting in Bordeaux, putting a sports car through its paces at Sonoma Raceway, curating the best watches from Geneva, perusing the top menswear accoutrements in Milan, testing cutting-edge yachts in Monaco. The life of a Robb Report editor may sound glamorous, but-actually, we can't argue there. Even so, separating the wheat from the chaff is no small task in the luxury realm, since even the chaff can be mighty impressive. In our 36th annual Best of the Best issue, we again offer our assessment of the past year's most exemplary products, places and experiences. And yes, edition number 37 is already underway.

Best of the Best - Style

Brioni

Brioni is a Best of the Best regular for good reason. In the hands of design director Norbert Stumpfl, the brand has become synonymous with understated elegance via its meticulously crafted tailoring. The shirts are similarly impressive, from expertly cut classic business and dress shirts to modern and unexpectedly casual styles. The Vagabond Overshirt is a standout and perhaps the perfect expression of that contemporary genre. Generously proportioned with a soft spread collar and pleated chest pockets, it’s practical but smart at the same time. Stumpfl and his team render the style in Brioni’s signature ‘splittable’ wool-and-cashmere blend, in which the faces (that is, outer surfaces) of two separate fabrics are invisibly woven together to create an overshirt that’s as refined on the inside as it is on the outside.
