Dudes Fashion Week: 12 Rules of Pitti Uomo

It’s men’s fashion week again and over in Florence, the Pitti Uomo parade of dapperly dressed dudes is out in full force. Worlds away from your typical street style photography of other fashion weeks, the men of Pitti Uomo have their own rules…

Don’t bother coming unless your fabrics look like they were woven by the magical horns of a thousand tiny unicorns.

Layer yourself up until it doesn’t even make sense anymore, then layer some more.

(Ladies can get in on the layering action too)

Stuff every imaginable pocket, hole, crevasse, nook & cranny of your outfit with an accessory.

If a bird could nest in your beard, you’re good to go.

Simply looking like you actually work in fashion is ‘out’– looking like the billionaire investor is ‘in’.

Alternatively, farmers are also welcome…

And it turns out the maffia like fashion too…

Synchronised posing ONLY, when sitting on the Pitti Uomo wall.

Raid your girlfriend’s/ mum’s scarf drawer.

And drape it like it’s hot, drape like it’s hawwt…

Or not..

While you’re at it, raid her J-LO hat collection too…

And who are you really without your own street gang of dapperly dressed dudes?
