Pitti Uomo continues to speak to a very well-defined tribe within the menswear community, style aficionados who want to stay within the boundaries of the classical aesthetic while standing out.
Here are the leading new takes on classics for spring 2025 from the fairgrounds.

Gone are the days of monochromatic suiting: next summer sartorial separates will be the way to go, done in jewel-toned lightweight fabrics to grab the spotlight.
Soft Utility

Menswear and workwear go hand-in-hand, yet a new iteration has emerged in the use of softly constructed safari jackets, mostly in linen, replacing the more formal blazer.
Denim

The conversation about denim is heating up, reaffirming the style’s cultural relevance. For the Pitti Uomo pack this translated into a five-pocket style done in a multitude of colors and hinged on the use of luxurious fabrics and blends, as well as innovative finishing techniques.
The Pink Pant

Soft pastels and chalky tones came out as the color palette of choice for spring 2025 and pink has reclaimed its role as the new neutral, appearing on pants throughout the fair flanked by the more traditional summer white and beige.
Statement Belts

There’s something happening at the waistline. Belts are the most dynamic category in small leather goods. For spring, Western influences came to the fore, with buckles and end tips oftentimes embellished with turquoise and vintage-looking silver hardware.
Shirt Jackets

As heatwaves have become a norm in recent summers, the shirt jacket is infusing new life into the sleepy category. Key styles ranged from traditional striped designs to the more fantasy-rich and vintage-y, camp-collared iterations.
