Pitti Uomo's latest edition was a clever lesson in presenting familiar offerings in a new way. While the evolution of key items remains slow, there is innovation in the way these familiar concepts are offered for S/S 19. For example, trends that are perennial menswear favorites, such as 'nautical', are reworked to feel relevant again, with clean styling and graphic color lending a modern edge.

S/S 2018 CIFF trends and key shapes continue to evolve slowly. Risk is the enemy and familiar styles are the core around which strong ranges are built.

A noticeable and interesting trend that we are seeing more of across trade shows (which originated on the catwalks) is a return to prominence for tailoring. While brands known for their suiting are rubbing their hands, others are trying their hand at smart stories. The scene is set for a move away from the directly sporty streetwear styles of recent seasons toward a more smartened-up feel, giving the customer new reasons to buy colorful jersey pieces, practical jackets and modern tailoring.
