Florence, Pitti Uomo 110
The Burgundy Summer Suit
Â
Summer tailoring doesn’t have to be limited to light colours. When made from the right cloth, deeper shades can feel just as fresh, offering a sophisticated alternative to the usual neutrals. Burgundy is a perfect example—rich, elegant and full of character, yet surprisingly effortless to wear in the warmer months. The perfect choice for Florence and the summer edition of Pitti Uomo.
Fabric & Styling
For this look, Giorgio chose a burgundy herringbone cloth from the Golden Selection Spring/Summer 2026 collection by Vitale Barberis Canonico. The combination of a rich burgundy colour and the timeless herringbone weave gives the fabric remarkable depth and movement, while its 54% wool, 46% linen composition and lightweight 260 g/m² construction make it exceptionally comfortable in warmer weather. Elegant without feeling heavy, it’s a perfect example of how texture and some color can elevate a summer suit.
Rather than contrasting the suit with a traditional white shirt, which would also look great, Giorgio opted for a tonal approach. He paired it with a deep maroon shirt cut from the Rugby Linens bunch by Huddersfield Fine Worsteds. Woven from lightweight linen at just 190 g/m², the shirt echoes the richness of the suit while introducing a subtle variation in tone and texture. The result is a monochromatic look that feels refined, contemporary and perfectly suited to the relaxed elegance of Pitti Uomo.
