There are few words that fill me with the same sense of excitement as Pitti Uomo.
Now in it's 86th season, Summer 2014 brought out the usual parade of well-dressed gentlemen; some relishing the opportunity to peacock in the European sun, others doing their best to keep things subtle and refined.
I always enjoy looking at the street style shots from Pitti, as it's a great way to see where trends are headed and spot the next wave of style icons. Sadly I haven't been yet. I don't know when I’ll get to attend the biannual trade show, but perhaps Pitti Uomo 87 has my name written on it.
Here are some of my favourite looks from Pitti Uomo 86 - I have to admit that I prefer the winter season a lot more. When you wear more layers there are more opportunities to play with patterns, colour and textures.
