So this is it. We’ve reached the end of Pitti Uomo. I knew this day would come but I didn’t expect for it to come so quickly. And I had only just found the press buffet. I guess everything good has to come to an end, but we can all relive the memories through these street style photos. Those were the good old days.

Fresh from their showing in London last week, Hackett London may just well have set up the most impressive stall at Pitti. Well, it’s so much as as a stall, as it’s an entire pavilion with a front porch to sip some much needed iced tea and an old (probably Renaissance) building housing some wonderfully British mannequins.

We know you should own a pair of trousers in khaki and navy but do you have pairs in a beaming yellow, vibrant red or pistachio green? Well Italian men do and if we’ve learnt anything at Pitti Uomo, it’s that they know what they’re doing so you should follow suit.
