Hour Detroit Best Dressed List 2025: Jeffrey Fratarcangeli

If Detroit is the Motor City, then when it comes to fashion, our Best Dressed honorees are driving in the fast lane – with no turn signals and plenty of flair. From boardroom boldness to brunch-ready brilliance, this year’s list proves that style in the D isn’t just worn – it’s wielded. These fashion phenoms don’t follow trends; they bend them into origami swans and then wear them to diner. Here is one of the 11 metro Detroiters on Hour Detroit’s Best Dressed list, class of 2025, who were all shot on location at Detroit Foundation Hotel.

Getting to know the style of Jeffrey Fratarcangeli

Fashion style: My style is very conservative at the office and comfortable on the weekend. For example, at the office, a Patek Philippe timepiece, a fine Italian silk three-piece custom suit designed and tailored by Cicchini Custom Clothier in Birmingham, with a Tom Ford or Louis Vuitton tie, and Salvatore Ferragamo Tramezza custom shoes and belt. On a weekend, a bit more casual, depending on the event — a Rolex Daytona timepiece, Tom Ford jeans, a crisp-collared shirt, Louis Vuitton sneakers, and a belt. If the look needs to be elevated, consider a sport coat from Larry Alebiosu at Fashion International in Southfield paired with a button-down collared shirt.

The one piece in my closet I can’t live without: The Rolex Daytona anniversary timepiece that my wife, Nicole, and our three boys, Louie, Marcelo, and Sandro, gave me for Father’s Day.

If my wardrobe had a theme song, it would be … Either “My Way” by Frank Sinatra or “Takin’ Care of Business” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Favorite places to shop locally: I like to visit Rick DePanicis at Cicchini Custom Clothier in Birmingham or the Somerset Collection.

Favorite designers/brands: Brunello Cucinelli, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, and the late Virgil Abloh.

Style icon: My ultimate style icon is Don Draper in Mad Men. He was always dapper, whether presenting to Conrad Hilton or attending a business dinner. He had such a swagger about him.

A look that always gets compliments: My Brunello Cucinelli jogger set.

Fashion advice: When you wake up in the morning each day, no matter what lies ahead, dressing in a look that makes you feel confident, professional, and sophisticated will ensure that whatever you do that day has the best possible chance of being a success. Look good; feel even better; therefore, perform at the highest level.
