[:en]For once I’ll not write an extensive blog post regarding this and that and will let most of the pictures speak for themselves. As I told you in the post about my hotel in Florence, Pitti Uomo is not as much a fashion week as it is a trade show. However some brands do have fashion shows during the week, but the most interesting part about Pitti is the street fashion worn there. There’s an army of Sprezzatura running around and what that means is basically men (and a few women) dressed to their teeth in dandy costumes resembling something from The Great Gatsby and they’re fiercely battling the heat wearing all that. I’m not that much for suits, but sometimes I do step out of my comfort zone and this is what I wore during my three days at Pitti.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
On my third day I was done with suiting up and stepped back into my comfort zone of blending styles (and the heat was unbearable anyway, so those shorts were much needed). I want you to pay attention to a few details here. The first one being the lovely bow tie made my London based designer Rory Hutton, whom I met during London Fashion Week. He makes quirky bow ties, pocket squares and other accessories that make even a street casual guy like me wear them. The other detail is my pocket square which is actually a 1920s map of Florence made by Swedish designer Billy Nord. He has lots of pocket squares featuring different city maps from that era and I was delighted to see he had a Florence one too.

Som jag berättade i föregående inlägg så är Pitti Uomo inte så mycket en modevecka, som det är en modemässa, även om vissa märken har modevisningar under veckan. Det mest intressanta med Pitti är dock gatumodet som syns på området. En klädstil kallad Sprezzatura har sin höjdpunkt i Pitti och hit vallfärdar alla Sprezzaturaentusiaster två gånger per år för att visa upp sina Great Gatsby-inspirerade påfågeldräkter. Dessa är i huvudsak män, men vissa kvinnor har anammat stilen de med och tappert kämpar dessa nästan maskeradklädda människor mot hettan. Jag valde för en gångs skulle att ta ett steg ut ur min trygghetszon och här är vad jag hade på mig under mina tre dagar i Pitti.
Dag 1
Dag 2
Dag 3
När det kom till dag tre var jag färdig med att svettas ihjäl och klev tillbaka in i min trygghetszon där jag blandar stilar hejvilt. Jag vill lyfta fram några detaljer här. Först och främst min fluga, designad av Londonbaserade Rory Hutton, som jag träffade under modeveckan i London och som besitter den unika förmågan att designa flugor och bröstnäsdukar som till och med en streetstylekille som jag kan känna mig bekväm i. Den andra detaljen är bröstnäsduken designad av svenske Billy Nord och detta är en av flera i serien av stadskartor över hur städer såg ut på 1920-talet. I kollektionen fanns lyckligtvis även en sådan från Florens vilket ju var passande.

July 18, 2017 at 7:24 pmI love these three looks and they’re probably my favorite out of all the ones you’ve posted thus far! I like the contrast and variety from all three! You look so sharp in the first one. I also love the contreadt of the blue blazer in the second outfit with the blush pants. And of course the shorts won me over in the third!

July 18, 2017 at 7:38 pmWow my darling… I love ur both looks… and I have to say… Pitti is on my list next time. I would love meeting u and catching up. The first look is so special and that gucci bag killed everything. I also love the shades… I have an oddly obsession with sunglasses and these look stunning. How was ur experience there? Was that ur first time in Pitti Florence? Xoxo and cannot wait to see ur next one
Sweet as fiction
July 18, 2017 at 7:45 pmYour looks are so unique and you pull it off so effortlessly! I love the yellow with the bow tie and that blue navy blazer is such a great staple for summer. Totally nailed all of these looks Thomas 🙂

July 18, 2017 at 8:20 pmI know you’re not much of a suit guy, but you can certainly rock the heck out of one, blazers included! Out of all the looks you wore for Pitti Uomo, I do think the Day 2 look with the blue blazer and black Louis bag is my favorite. There’s something about a pop of blue that does so much for me. You’re the only guy I can think of that can rock a blazer with a pair of shorts so flawlessly! Great quirky bowtie pick as well 🙂

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on your blog. It never truly disappoints when it comes to your personal style and to the places you go! you’re so lucky! Also, I am in love with the first outfit that you wore here. Where did you get this suit and I might just get one for the Mister. I hope you’re enjoying Florence. I can’t wait to visit Florence myself.
Have a good one

July 19, 2017 at 3:59 amI am in love with all three of these outfits! I think my favorite has to be the first one, I love the white on white! Also I am obsessed with that Gucci bag! Can I have it?! Amazing!!

July 19, 2017 at 4:40 amThe Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books and I also love that era. So this post and all three of your looks really had me fascinated and oogling! The window pane suit is so chic! I love the light suit and the all white look. It is perfect for summer and that Gucci tote is too fabulous! I love that drawing on it making it so unique. The second look you put together such great colors and the printed shirt with the contrasting blazer with amazing embroidery is fashion week worthy! The last look is playful and more casual but I absolutely love the bow tie and the pocket square. Before you even mentioned it on the post, my eyes were drawn to those two statement pieces. Such fun and classic while also being fashion forward looks for Pitti Uomo! xoxo, Christine

July 19, 2017 at 4:50 amEach picture had me saying, “Go Thomas!!” To say you looked fabulous and dapper would be an understatement!!! Omg! You showed out! I love each and every one of your outfits and your bags had me drooling!!! The bow tie was so cute!! You get an A+ for these looks in my book!

July 19, 2017 at 9:25 amThomas you’re officially the most stylish man I know! After following you through these fashion weeks I’ve realised that besides your signature minimal style – which I love – you master the art of getting dressed according to the place and the occasion, without losing your authenticity. About these specific outfits, you look so elegant and delicately dandy without overdoing it. Which most people at Pitti don’t understand lol! The first suit, styled with a tee and the most fab Gucci bag is perfection. Of the second outfit I love especially the blue blazer. And that pocket square depicting Florence is so chic! The last outfit is super fun: I love the stylish touch given by the custom made bow tie. Next season I challenge you to go at Pitti with no blazer. Educate them please! Although you look super cool all dressed up! I can’t get over the first look, made so perfect by the white tee and kicks. We must do a fashion week together, deal? Loves and loves, Valeria

July 19, 2017 at 10:19 amDear Tommy,
I actually spent so much time here yesterday and again this morning just amazed at all of your different outfits and also by searching the links which you shared. Wow. I am obsessed with the umbrella bow tie from Rory Hutton and every single pocket square from Billy Nord. It’s awesome that they had a Florence one and I really love how they are so artfully designed. Extreme masterpieces combining art & culture and really that’s what I think your outfits here all portray. I saw you in Eric K. Fashion’s video and I was SO excited !! The outfit was divine and perfect and especially your hat and bag and jacket. And sunglasses and watch. I guess everything!!! Seriously, I loved seeing you in a suited type of look because it shows that style is just style. Not about a certain look or catagory, just a way of putting things together and presenting yourself to the world eloquently but also letting your truly self shine. And you mastered that. I can’t stop thinking about that bag and I remember when you blogged about it!!!!!
I wish I had one to take to Disney !!
Love,
( Your) Jenny

July 20, 2017 at 1:53 amomg I love your looks so, so much. I think it’s one of my favourites! So glad you stepped out of your comfort zone, I don’t think I’d be brave enough, unless most people are doing it as well, since I’m always self-conscious of people staring! You rocked it like a boss, I can’t stop scrolling and look at all of them haha, especially that white suit – just top notch! 🙂

July 21, 2017 at 3:09 amI bet you were the most stylish man in the street of Florence! Love how you completely updated traditional suit looks and made them look so fun and still classic. You are right about that bow tie as it totally suits you who has the best street style!! I actually start liking accessories like bow ties and pocket squares on men after seeing how you wore them! Great job on styling all these amazing looks and you know I love that Gucci tote ?.
Love,
Jo

July 21, 2017 at 9:52 amThomas, I have to say that this white suit looks amazing on you! And the way you combined it with the hat and sneakers…oh my God!
So stylish, you definitely should wear suits more haha.
Second and third outfits are more casual but trendy and stylish, so i like all 3 outfits you. Very eye-catching!

July 21, 2017 at 4:07 pmTHOMAS! You need to wear suits more often because you seriously rock them! I love the white one on you. In fact, I don’t know many who can pull that off! I do love the blue blazer on you too though 🙂 Have a great weekend! xo, sharon

July 23, 2017 at 7:17 amI always enjoy seeing the outfits you put together because you have some sort of unique twist on them…and I love that. I really love your white suit, it look so light and airy and I love that it is a set that could totally be worn separately too if you wanted to. I also love how you pair that sport coat with short, style on point! All of your photos are amazing and I agree, totally speak for themselves!

July 23, 2017 at 9:16 amAw Thomas, you are so so stylish and dapper! Whether the window pane suite on day one or the suite with distressed yellow shorts on day three, you have epitomized the Italian summer style! I love that Gucci tote so much, it really dresses up any outfit! My favorite look is Day three, it combines your original Thomas style with the Italian influence.

July 25, 2017 at 7:08 pmAhhh I would have loved to see these outfits strut among the streets of Florence in real life! I have to say I love all three because they’re so different!! It’s so great to see how creative and fun suits can get when you stray away from traditional! I have to say that most people can’t pull off a white suit, but you certainly did in that grid one from day 1! Loved it!! I love the bold cobalt of day 2 and the quirky vibes for day 3!
With love, Jenn

I hope you had an amazing time, and say hello to the city for me 🙂

July 28, 2017 at 1:44 amThomas, ok I know you said suits aren’t really your thing but I’m just going to say they look so good on you!!! I absolutely love the first outfit, you look SO dapper. You look like you belong in the great Gatsby like the men and women you spoke about. The second outfit was also beautiful, you look like you own a yacht and belong with the rich and famous! When I got to the third outfit I definitely got the vibe this is more you. It’s so fun and I love how you styled it with the bowtie. I don’t blame you for wanting to finally wear shorts, suits in the heat is serious torture! You killed it in all three looks

August 7, 2017 at 4:44 amDear Tommy, I love these looks brother! Totally my kind of style. It’s like we flipped clothing haha. The details are perfect as per usual. That bowtie is everything! And you know I love me some Gatsby vibes! I love me a blazer and short combo and you pull it off so well! Lastly THOSE HATS! Repping my home again I see! LOVE IT!
Great outfit inspiration for days! And beautiful shots as always brother.
Love, Dom
