Pitti Uomo

Men's fashion is tricky. We don't have as much versatility or selection as the ladies, so we end up having to either go for a clean and classic aesthetic, or opt for a more creative approach. In a way, it's good because it is always challenging you to think of new ways to present yourself. Every year, sartorialists migrate over to Florence, Italy for one of the biggest men's tradeshows in the industry, Pitti Uomo. Street style photographer and blogger, Tommy Ton, profiled the illustrious festivities, and can we just say, the men BROUGHT.IT. I selected a few of my favourites from his work, check them out below!

STYLE TIP: Details

Today, I woke up at 9am. Just so you know, my work also starts at 9am. Not having planned out my attire for the day the previous night either, my morning proved to be a true test of agility, willpower (otherwise known as not screaming like a mad woman upon seeing the time), and sanity. It's times like these that having a couple style rules in your back pocket come in *very* handy!

"Menswear is difficult - keeping things the same, but different."

Hello There, Beautiful...

Beauty is...

I was perusing through the AdWeek website and found a page chronicling the first-place winners of the Cannes Lions Film & Press Awards from the last decade. Some of them are better than others, but one of them, in particular, caught my attention. Back in 2007, Canada won the award for Ogilvy & Mather's work on the DOVE ad, titled "Evolution". I remember watching this back then, and even when I watch it now, it remains a definite thought-provoker. Guess that's the whole point right?

Fashion Obsession: Bandana?

So lately, my keen eyes (they're actually kind of blind) have been noticing these things adorning the necks of some very fashion-savvy men. I want to call them bandanas, but I feel like that just wouldn't do it justice (hence the "?"). But basically, that's what they are. Rolled up bandanas that are tied around the neck with only a hint of the tail-ends flapping out, making for an adorable, yet curiously masculine way of adding that extra oomph to your look.
