de streetstyle van Pitti Uomo

Pitti Uomo has been known for years as the unofficial start of the Menswear season and as the platform for masterful tailor work and street style.

In recent years, however, the once celebrated – and sometimes also mocked – ‘Pitti Peacock’ has changed. Although he has not yet completely disappeared, he now seems like an endangered species. Also this season the most exciting street style impulses did not necessarily come from the classic packing carriers, although, as usual, they were stylish, often in terracotta tones that reminded the golden hour above Florence.

It was the visitors with refined details and subtle style fractures in their looks that stood out – and that even defied the Florentine summer heat in the historic Fortezza da Basso with remarkable casualties.

FashionUnited lists some of the best street style trends from Pitti Uomo.

Painting on songs

Streetstyle on Pitti Uomo is all about details. This season it was the playful handling of apparently hand -drawn scribbles and paintings that really stood out. Instead of classic patterns or logos, many looks were decorated with elements that reminded of finger paint, hand -drawn illustrations and apparently random scribbles, as if they came from a sketchbook or children’s drawing.

From picturesque spirals and wine glasses on wide pants to a cream -colored work jacket covered with cartoon characters of ducks, scribbled words and sewn -out images: visitors used their clothing to tell stories.

Embroidery

Not only color determined the season. Embroidery was also central as a tactile counterpart to the playful brush strokes. Wires replaced ink and gave items of clothing a traditional and sustainable character. From botanical curls on jackets to folkloric motifs that subtly unfolded on backs and sleeves: embroidery became a language of texture and tradition.

Sports-inspired silhouettes

Another striking change, which has already signed up in recent years, was the unabashed application of sport-inspired silhouettes, a genre that is often overlooked at an event that is so focused on tailor art. Whether it was retro football shirts, oversized mesh layers or baseball shirts, the visitors embraced the sporting aesthetics with a knowing, almost ironic refinement.

An example was a vintage green adidas football shirt, combined with wide pants and loafers. This brought nostalgia on the sidelines together with Italian flair. Another example was a powder-blue mesh training vest over a shirt, complete with base ballet and wrap-around sunglasses, a nod to the skater-cool look of the early 2000s. A third look consisted of a classic white-blue ‘cougar’ baseball shirt, combined with a casual cap.

Ties such as canvas

Art was not only in the form of scribbles on clothing, but also on ties, which once turned the conservative accessory into a lively agent of self -expression. On Pitti Uomo, ties were hiking canvas, splashed with sunflowers, decorated with miniature birds or woven with lush, carpet-like flower patterns. These were not simple prints, but picturesque statements that contrasted with the relaxed tailor art and oversized shirts.

Striking camouflage

In a season in which craftsmanship and intention were central, even camouflage – for a long time with functionality and anonymity – even got a new meaning. Instead of disappearing in the background, it noticed. Worn in various silhouettes and contexts, from tailored jungle jacks, tight shirts and ties to casual cargo pants, combined with jeans and trucker caps, camouflage did not feel like a military cosplay, but as an independent fashion statement.
