(ANSA) - Rome, January 9 - All roads for the British
gentleman led to Florence this week, where the 95th edition of
leading international menswear trade fair Pitti Uomo is ongoing
through Friday to showcase what will be next in the world of
men's fashion.
Sleek silhouettes in velvet and tartan with a retro vibe are
a style mainstay for fall-winter 2019-2020.
The country gentleman story-line is central to Gariele
Pasini's collection, which includes tartan jackets and plaid
shirts, capes and scarves for a total countryman look.
Checks and hound's tooth also reign supreme in a palette of
green, orange and blue.
Patches on jackets and cardigans complete the country look.
Tartan motifs also star at Manuel Ritz, albeit in a sportier
version while Paoloni has embraced the blazer-cardigan in
cashmere for next winter.
Luigi Bianchi Mantova has infused the classic sartorial look
with a more contemporary vibe with deconstructed wardrobe
staples that are light yet warm for the winter season.
The team of designers behind the historic Italian brand Made
in Mantova (Mantua), founded in 1911, has selected deluxe
cashmere, silk and cotton fabrics from Piedmont's Biella
district in a palette of warm caramel, chocolate, beige and
blue.
Overcoats are single or double-breasted and the trench coat
plays the lead in the collection.
Lardini's collection is inspired by three key cities with
their trademark color: blue for Milan, red for London and yellow
for New York.
L.B.M.1911 has embraced both a more relaxed country style and
an urban vibe with extra soft fabrics like velvet, the great
protagonist of the next winter season, as well as wool and
cotton mixes and cashmere.
Suits with a perfect fit reign supreme in the warm shades of
fall - brick, mustard, chocolate, dark green, grey, blue and
powder blue.
