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.

1.122,90 €Our Taupe Tropical Suit is a refreshing modern and cool iteration of the brown suit. The cloth is a light and airy tropical weave from Fox brothers, made from 100% wool. The colour is quite a unique cool brown tone, that is rather unconventional and makes the suit unmistakably modern. We’ve presented it here in a modern fit and normal shoulder construction, with a double-breasted waistcoat. Note that the waistcoat is not included but can easily be added to the order via the chat.
Tropical weaves bring out the brighter side of wool, making for a strong and light cloth. The yarn that was used for this particular fabric collection has slightly different shades of grey, leaving a beautiful structure in the cloth that accentuates the fit. It weighs around 290 g/m2, and is made from 100% wool. It is a fairly light fabric, but robust enough to be suitable for prolonged wear.
This with a waistcoat makes a strong candidate for a wedding suit. Pair it with a crisp white shirt, a dark unicoloured tie, a pocket square and perhaps a boutonniere for a modern and elegant wedding outfit. Shoe-wise it works with black as well as brown leather shoes, opt for suede or loafers if you desire a less formal look. It should be noted that this suit as a whole would not work well with lighter shoes. As a modern suit it is versatile, and if you lose the waistcoat, it is a perfectly good suit for professional settings. Though wearing the jacket as a separate is rather difficult, the trousers work very well on their own, going well with informal shirts like our kashco or knits.
