Behind the look: Carlos Domord at Pitti Uomo 107
Â
At the most recent Pitti Uomo 107, creative director and style aficionado Carlos Domord embodied modern elegance with a monochromatic suit and overcoat in grey. A suit and overcoat crafted from the same fabric always create a striking effect. We have done this before for the previous winter Pitti, featuring a suit and coat in herringbone but in a warm beige color palette. This time, however, Carlos opted for cool grey tones, bringing a contemporary twist to the look.
The choice of fabric—Holland & Sherry’s herringbone from the Sherry Tweed book—played a crucial role in defining the look’s rich texture and depth. This 100% lambswool fabric, woven with a balance of black, white, and grey threads, creates a dynamic pattern, ideal for winter dressing. With a weight of 340gm, it offers the right balance between warmth and wearability, making it a perfect choice for layering.
The Monochromatic Suit and Coat Trend
Beyond wearing them together, the grey herringbone suit and overcoat shine as versatile separates in a gentleman’s wardrobe. The suit jacket pairs effortlessly with dark denim or flannel trousers for a refined smart-casual look, while the overcoat is a staple in itself, complementing a variety of outfits.
Layer it over a chunky knit sweater and tailored wool trousers for an elegant off-duty aesthetic, or wear it with a roll-neck and pleated chinos for a sophisticated city-ready look. Thanks to its classic pattern and neutral tones, the grey herringbone fabric integrates seamlessly into a variety of styles and suits, making it a worthwhile investment for any modern wardrobe.
Whether worn in a professional setting or styled more casually, a matching suit and overcoat in a textured fabric like herringbone is a timeless investment. It’s a look that speaks to both classic elegance and contemporary sophistication.
