Antonio's Colors: Pairings by the Florentine Master Tailor

Antonio Liverano is famous for his eye for color. Here, we take a look at the vivid spectrum of colors that can be found at Antonio’s Florence atelier and peruse his recommend ties and pocket squares.

"We feel the truth behind the adage that 'the style is the man', because we come to understand that in order to create these works of great artistry in cloth, the man who makes them must have that beauty within him. We see all that in Antonio Liverano." - G. Bruce Boyer

Choosing Ties and Squares

Green has been Antonio's favorite color as far back as he can remember. He chose green as the house color for Liverano & Liverano, and can often be found sporting a suit or sport coat in a green hue.

Antonio suggested a bright floral silk tie to go along with his wool hopsack sport coat. With olive undertones it's a great way to add some color to a spring/summer outfit.

Another favorite color of Antonio is Purple, which stems from his support of local soccer club, Fiorentina, nicknamed La Viola ("The Purple Team"). Antonio also enjoys the lighter shades of purple commonly associated with lilacs and wisterias.

Antonio suggested a large polka dot tie and silk leaf pocket square with a wool herringbone suit.

When commissioning a bespoke suit or sport coat from Liverano, Antonio will often guide a client through the thousands of colorful fabrics that he's stored away in his extensive archives.

Antonio picked an olive silk tie and new floral pocket square to go along with his wool sharkskin suit.

Many of the silks designed for Liverano's ties are made using his beloved floral prints. He also enjoys surrounding himself with plants and flowers, both at home and his atelier.
