Day 3: Pitti men’s street style (gallery)

Hey everyone at Pitti Uomo? Stop looking so good and making everybody else feel bad and insecure about their entire wardrobe. But they won’t stop. They just keep on coming with their unlined cotton jackets, white denim, raw silk ties and neckerchiefs. This gallery contains all of that and much more.

Accessories Americano: Pitti men’s street style

It’s good to see the Americana influence on menswear hasn’t died down, even in the midst of Florence, Tuscany. Take away the accessories from this Pitti Uomo street style look, and you have a pretty conventional outfit. It’s smart dressing and you guys should pay attention. Also, take notice of the floral neckerchief. If all goes according to plan, by the masters of Pitti, you’ll…

Swimwear for men: Robinson Les Bains at Pitti

Orlebar Brown may have the understated, English side of the mens swimming trunk market covered, but for something with a little bit of European flair it’s worth checking out the latest from Robinson Les Bains. Christophe Vérot – an ex-water polo player – started up the brand in 2007 after experiencing that frustration we all feel from time to time: the kind where you search…

The Hacket Pavilion: Live from Pitti

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.

Clashing prints: Pitti men’s street style

The dapper men of Pitti tend towards either the ultra-sharp, the casually understated, or the boldly flamboyant. The latter male is a creature that comes in many forms – often he’s decked out in bright colours, or quirky accessories – but he can also be seen fearlessly sporting clashing prints. Checks, plaids, gingham, polka dots… to this confident breed of male, no pattern is off-limits.

Watch brand to watch: South Lane

As well as meatballs, the Swedes are rather famous for their Scandinavian design aesthetic. It’s one that favours function and form over bells and whistles, and one they do particularly well. At this week’s Pitti Uomo in Florence, watch brand South Lane stood out for the pared-back simplicity of design and uncluttered set of options.

Keeping cool at Pitti (gallery)

Shoes off, fans out, blankets aplenty: it’s all part of keeping cool in (while still enjoying) the 30-something degree Florentine heat. These moments of rest and relaxation were captured on day 2 of Pitti Uomo, June 2012.

The spirit of Summer: Pitti men’s street style

We’re officially halfway through Pitti, and while I’m not going to call it just yet, this might just be my favourite look so far. Highlights include joyously coloured pastel green trousers and a wonderfully sculpted jacket but it’s that pocket square action that tops the whole thing off in spectacular fashion. It’s vibrant, fresh and screams of Summer in Italy. In fact, you’d be hard…

Ben Sherman with a view: Live from Pitti

Sitting atop a tower in the Fortezza, the site of Pitti Uomo, Ben Sherman have bought a little bit of EC1 London to Firenze. They’re set up shop to celebrate their range of trousers (it’s an impressive list) that range from the standard straight drill to the American heritage-inspired and a slim cut herringbone – all in a myriad of colours.

The modern moustache: Pitti men’s street style

The revival of the moustache as a men’s grooming statement has not only brought back classic styles such as the handlebar – it’s brought them back with a modern twist (pardon the pun). Case in point: the old-world mood of a handlebar moustache updated for the modern day by way of multiple piercings, as snapped at Pitti Uomo.
