Pitti Uomo is a renowned menswear trade fair held in Florence, Italy, where industry professionals, fashion enthusiasts, and influential brands gather to showcase the latest collections and innovations in men’s fashion.
It is a great place to get a sense of emerging trends, meet potential or existing partners, and connect with friends in the industry, which is why we make it a point to visit the fair as frequently as possible. During our trip, we captured photos of the impeccably dressed gentlemen at Pitti, the streets of Florence and various events and today we are thrilled to share these images, along with our insights.
The summer edition of Pitti Uomo takes place annually in June, and at that time of year, Florence is pretty hot. It’s no surprise that lighter, breathable fabrics such as linen, tropical wool, and seersucker are prominent but let’s delve into the standout colors and pieces that we spotted.
White
Perhaps the most classic and expected color for summer. Whites, off-whites and cream shades effortlessly capture the essence of summer and create a clean, crisp look.
Browns
From light tan and taupe shades to rich browns and caramel tones, we spotted a lot of gentlemen confidently embracing the earthy color palette.

Navy Blue
Navy blue proved to be a hit yet again, even for summer suiting. We spotted navy blue suits in linen, seersucker, and tropical wool, which effortlessly brought down the formality and looked great.
