Pitti Uomo, the bi-annual men’s fashion fair held in Florence, Italy, has earned its place as a global hub for gentlemen’s style. And if you didn’t know, dressing well is not the same as dressing fashionably. You don’t need luxury labels to look sharp, and even with designer brands, you can still miss the mark if you don’t get it right.
