Pitti Uomo may have just come to a close, but men’s street style is just heating up—literally. With temperatures in the mid-80s in Florence last week, the scene outside of the shows could have passed for the Italian coastline rather than the city’s historic streets. One of the biggest—and most escapist—trends this summer is tropical prints, best seen here on Florentine gents in the form of short-sleeve button-ups and robes. Wondering how to wear these flashy florals and Hawaiian prints as a woman on holiday? Style them open with a classic triangle bikini, of-the-moment to-the-knee shorts or with a pair of sporty sunglasses.
The most practical style move seen at Pitti Uomo, though, has to be the hands-free coin purse. Bringing your whole wallet plus car keys to the beach can be a nuisance, and these wallets turned necklace pouches are the perfect accessory for summer. Consider one for a bike ride along the boardwalk and a walk to the snack shack. If the male models from Jacquemus’s show in Marseille, France, last year didn’t make enough of a convincing case for wearing your wallet on a neck strap, the men of Florence this past week might make you reconsider packing a beach bag completely.
From sun-ready bucket hats to light-color linens, the men in Florence have your next beach outfits sorted. Below, six smart and stylish tips borrowed from the gents of Pitti Uomo menswear festival to wear to the beach this weekend and the rest of the summer.
