Outfits for Spring summer
Pitti Uomo draws the most stylish men on the planet together to Florence for a show of bold tailoring and sartorial peacocking. This isn’t your boardroom fashion on display: men trot out their loudest prints, most vibrant colors and widest lapels for what amounts to the Olympics of men’s style.
This year I attended Pitti with a slightly different mindset than years past: I shied away from traditional suiting in favor of more relaxed looks that feel modern and younger. You can translate these outfits and trends into your own wardrobe whether or not you’re a Pitti-going industry insider.
Here I wanted to show that when it comes to men’s style, there are no hard and fast rules that apply any more. I combined an unexpected mix of items here to create this look that has a nerd-chic appeal. The suit from The Kooples had a subtle seersucker pattern in navy and black that was a good palette for a collar-less chambray shirt that brought in both color and a sense of street to this look.
The short suit has been around for a while now and is just starting to reach a broader commercial appeal (that still doesn’t mean you could get away with wearing this to your job at a law office). It’s a good option for creatives in the summertime with toned legs.
I am not typically a fan of socks, but something about socks with this look seemed right. You can take one of your old suits to the tailor to have them transform the trousers into shorts and give an old look new life.
