Pitti Uomo 110: The Trends Inspiring the Next Season of Men’s Tailoring
Twice a year, the menswear world turns its attention to Florence for Pitti Uomo — one of the most influential events on the global menswear calendar.Part trade show, part street-style spectacle, Pitti is where brands, buyers, tailors and menswear enthusiasts gather to see what’s shaping the future of men’s style.While trends come and go, what we love about Pitti is that it often reinforces the principles we’ve always believed in: quality craftsmanship, great fit and timeless style.
Here are a few of the key takeaways that caught our attention from this season’s event.
Tailoring : Relaxed in Feel, Tailored in Form
One of the strongest themes throughout Florence was the continued evolution of tailoring. Ultra-slim silhouettes have given way to softer shapes, still fitted but with a more natural feel and trousers with a little more room to move. The result is tailoring that feels effortless and comfortable while still looking polished and refined. It’s a direction we’ve been seeing for several seasons now, and one that works particularly well in the Australian climate and lifestyle.
Earthy Tones Are Leading the Way
While navy and charcoal will always have their place, earthy neutrals dominated the streets of Florence.
Shades of tobacco, olive, stone, chocolate and sand appeared throughout the collections and street style, creating looks that felt sophisticated without being overly formal. These colours are versatile, easy to wear and work beautifully across tailoring, knitwear and everyday dressing.
Monochromatic dressing also emerged as a defining theme. Rather than relying on contrast, many attendees embraced head-to-toe looks in varying tones of the same colour — from soft creams and oatmeals through to rich chocolates, olives and charcoal.
The result felt cohesive, modern and effortlessly wearable, reinforcing the shift towards considered, tonal dressing.
Linen Has Grown Up
Linen remains a warm-weather favourite, but this season it appeared in a more refined form.
Rather than the heavily creased, beach-inspired looks of years past, designers showcased linen in beautifully tailored jackets, trousers and coordinated separates.
The focus was on texture, quality and craftsmanship, proving that linen can be both relaxed and incredibly elegant.
Pinstripes, Refreshed
One of the standout tailoring details from Pitti Uomo was the return of the pinstripe.
Worn with softer silhouettes and relaxed styling, this classic pattern felt contemporary, versatile and quietly confident.
The Double-Breasted Jacket Is Back
For those who appreciate classic tailoring, there was plenty to love.
Double-breasted jackets made a strong appearance throughout Pitti, but with a modern twist. Rather than feeling formal or corporate, they were styled with open-collar shirts, relaxed trousers and softer construction.
The result felt contemporary, versatile and surprisingly easy to wear.
Thoughtful Details Make the Difference
Beyond the silhouettes themselves, it was the finer details that elevated many of the collections and street-style looks.
Tortoiseshell, horn-toned and statement buttons appeared throughout tailoring, outerwear and knitwear, bringing warmth and richness to neutral palettes. These finishes added a sense of craftsmanship and individuality while reinforcing the move towards timeless, investment dressing.
Accessories also played a starring role. Brooches made a confident return as a personal finishing touch, while pocket squares added texture and interest through subtle patterns and luxurious fabrics. Silk ties remained a classic choice, but many opted instead for silk scarves worn with open-collar shirts, creating a look that felt both refined and effortlessly relaxed.
Headwear was another standout. From fedoras to western-inspired cowboy hats, hats were used to express personality and complete an outfit, proving that the finishing touches are just as important as the tailoring itself.
It’s these thoughtful details that transform a beautifully tailored outfit into something truly personal style.
Quality Remains King
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Florence wasn’t a specific trend at all.
Across brands, designers and attendees, there was a clear focus on quality over quantity. Exceptional fabrics, thoughtful construction and timeless pieces continue to define modern luxury.
It’s less about chasing trends and more about building a wardrobe that lasts.
What It Means for the Modern Man
If there was one message from Pitti Uomo this season, it’s that menswear is becoming increasingly personal and refined.Comfort no longer comes at the expense of elegance. Tailoring is softer, colours are warmer and quality remains at the centre of great style.
At Rundle, it’s a philosophy that feels very familiar.
While we always enjoy seeing what’s happening on the world stage, we’re reminded that true style isn’t about following every trend. It’s about investing in pieces that fit well, feel exceptional and reflect who you are.
And that’s something that never goes out of fashion.
