Sprezzatura is dressing in good-looking clothes while looking natural, like you threw on the first thing in your drawer but your outfit ends up looking great. At least that's what some Italian guy in the 16th century wrote, nowadays the term has morphed into the abominations OP posted in certain circles, namely the Instagram #menswear community.
As for examples, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is and isn't sprezzatura. It's a very subtle thing and takes a lot of knowledge and experience, and arguably extends way beyond the mere clothes you wear. I'd carefully say that the guy in pic related "has sprezzatura". The clothes he wears are a bit unusual, but it doesn't stand out somehow. I think he looks completely natural in his suit, like it's the only thing he ever wears. I can't really put my finger on it, and that vagueness might just be the most important thing about sprezzatura.
Most of the lads in this thread have read on some blog that "wearing a tie with both blades showing is sprezz", or the same thing for wacky pocket handkerchiefs, bracelets, pattern-mixing and so on. In doing so, they missed the forest for the trees. They copied the things a person with "sprezzatura" might wear or do, but they missed the essence.
Ultimately, I think that the term has no place in the modern world. It originally described the way you should act to gain favour in some prince's court, and has become increasingly warped over time. Nowadays when you wear nice clothes you either look carefully put-together or natural, and there is no way to transition from the former to the latter by reading blogs.

I know this isn't the baggy aesthetic you're looking for, but I absolutely love how comfortable and at ease this guy looks in his jacket and trousers. They're tailored to the last milimeter but not tight or flashy. He looks like he lives in his suits, wears them every day and enjoys it.
I suppose everyone has their preferences, but I just couldn't feel comfortable in a wide 80s suit with all the excess fabric. To me, pic related is the essence of comfy tailoring.
