Florence, Pitti Uomo 106
Pitti Uomo Style Report
Sprezzatura is an Italian term that embodies a cultivated nonchalance, where one achieves a certain effortless elegance and understated sophistication Carrying oneself with a relaxed and unforced grace.. Originating from the Renaissance, it was first articulated by Baldassare Castiglione in his 1528 book “The Book of the Courtier.”
This is the word possibly describes the vibe at Pitti Uomo the best. Pitti Uomo is one of the most prominent and influential menswear trade shows in the world. Held biannually in Florence, Italy, Pitti Uomo showcases the latest trends, styles, and innovations in men’s fashion, attracting designers, brands, buyers, and fashion enthusiasts from around the globe.

156,51 €Introducing a fresh addition to our American Oxford Shirt collection: a delightful light pink, perfect for the spring and summer seasons.
The American Oxford weave is a traditional method of weaving cotton fabric that originated in the United States. It is characterized by a slightly heavier and more textured construction compared to other types of oxford weaves, such as the classic Oxford or the Royal Oxford.
American Oxford fabric typically has a rougher, matte appearance with a distinct basket-like texture. This type of weave is known for its durability and casual aesthetic, making it popular for casual shirts, including button-down shirts. The fabric is breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear.
The fabric is from the Canclini mill in Italy, known for producing premium cotton fabrics favored by many high-end clothing brands and renowned for their superior quality, softness, and durability.
Lots of linen
-
786,77 €This Navy Twill Linen suit is certainly our most Scandinavian version of the linen suit. Navy is one of the most underrated colours when it comes to linen suits, as showcased here. It pairs well with just about anything and is very comfortable to wear during the warmer months.
Linen is a fabric for the summer, it will wrinkle beautifully as plant fibres should. The fabric weighs 320 g/m2 which is light enough to allow air to circulate without being so thin that it becomes see-through. The Twill weave gives the fabric, and the suit, a firmer and more lavish structure than what is typical for suits made from Linen.
As said, navy is probably the least common colour for a linen suit, although the combination works well. The suit has the versatility of a navy suit and the comfort and charm of a linen suit. Design-wise we recommend keeping it rather plain with this fabric, for those who want more details, pleats and cuffs would make great additions as they’re informal. This is one of the easiest suits to style that we present in our selection. The only rule of thumb is that whenever wearing the jacket and trousers together, make sure that the shirt is in a less coarse fabric. When it comes to shoes everything goes; black, brown, beige or sneaker all work with the suit. A tie is in no way a must, but consider wearing this jacket with a pocket square; breaking up the color with something lighter emphasises the dark cloth nicely.
The fabric comes from the Baird McNutt mill in Ireland. It is a family business that thrives in the harsh Irish weather and specialises in the production of linen fabrics. The fabrics are woven using traditional methods, and have a low environmental impact, due to sustainable farming practices. To learn more about the mill please visit their website.

786,77 €Our Khaki Twill Linen Suit is a fantastic choice for those seeking a touch of color while still keeping it neutral and versatile for a variety of occasions.The style we've presented here is casual, emphasising the less formal characteristics of the linen, but you could also contrast the informal color and make the suit with roped shoulders.
Linen is a fabric for the summer, it will wrinkle beautifully as plant fibres should. The fabric weighs 320 g/m2 which is light enough to allow air to circulate without being so thin that it becomes see-through. The Twill weave gives the fabric, and the suit, a firmer and more lavish structure than what is typical for suits made from Linen.
It is the perfect suit for being outside in the sun this summer, and can be styled in a variety of ways. Especially because the suit in itself is so informal it lends itself beautifully to be styled up a bit, where it with a crisp white shirt and a selection of your favorite accessories like a subtly patterned midnight blue tie, black sunglasses and maybe even a black pocket square if your feeling bold. Otherwise you can double down on the informality of the garment and combine it with a t-shirt and boating shoe like Sebago’s. Like most rather informal suits this khaki linen suit lends itself to be worn as separats.

Denim Shirts
Another notable trend we spotted at Pitti Uomo were denim shirts. Attendees embraced denim shirts for their versatility and timeless appeal, pairing them with everything from tailored suits to relaxed trousers. This trend showcases how denim, traditionally seen as a casual fabric, can also be elevated to fit more refined and polished looks.
Neutral colors
Shades of Brown:
There is no surprise here. Every summer we always see a lot of neutral and earthy tones like beige, camel, brown etc. These colors are a summer staple and they offer versatility and understated elegance. This year it seems like brown made a big comeback to the streets of Florence with a lot of gentlemen going for different shades of brown, from warmer to cooler and deeper shades in fabrics like linen primarily, light frescos or solaro.
White:
Another classic choice for summer, offering a crisp and timeless look, is white. At Pitti Uomo, we saw many gentlemen sporting white suits or white dinner jackets, adding a fresh and sophisticated touch to their outfits. These neutral colors not only provide a solid foundation for any wardrobe but also allow for easy mixing and matching, making them ideal for creating a variety of stylish and elegant summer looks.
Pops of color
Blues and Greens: Various shades of blue and green were popular. The classic navy blue in the form of blazers matched with white trousers was seen, as well as brighter blues and lighter pastels. One of the more popular variations of green was khaki. Soft and wearable, it adds color yet it remains quite subdued.
Pastels: Pastel shades, including light pinks and soft yellows, made an appearance, bringing a light and airy feel suitable for the warmer months. Bright pops of color were also seen in suiting, shirts, and accessories, adding a touch of playfulness perfect for more casual or semi-formal settings.
Warm Rusty Browns and Oranges: These colors added depth and richness to the summer palette, offering a warm and inviting alternative to more conventional summer hues.
Separates
At Pitti Uomo 106, separates were a standout trend, with many attendees embracing mixing and matching different pieces from their wardrobes. A classic choice for summer separates is definitely white or light-colored trousers. They provide a great foundation, making it easy to match with a variety of jackets. Separates are also a great way to break up suits and style them in new outfits. This approach not only highlights individual style but also promotes practicality and flexibility, allowing for a variety of outfit combinations.

Patterns
Another micro trend we spotted this year was the use of patterns for both suits and jackets. The gentlemen of Pitti embraced a variety of patterns, with checks, houndstooth, and pinstripes being particularly prominent. These patterns added a dynamic and visually striking element to classic suiting, allowing for greater expression of personal style.
Seersucker
This fabric made a notable appearance, valued for its puckered texture which keeps the fabric away from the skin, promoting airflow and comfort in hot weather. Both seersucker suits and shirts are a classic choice for keeping cool during the warm summer months.
