It was seen to Pitti Man 108who has just ended in Florence: in an incandescent fortress from below, 740 brands (of which 45% foreigners) presented their proposals for the PE 2026. And the message that has arrived, strong and clear, is only one: Relax. That is, let’s take our time, breathe, travel, really or simply with fantasy; We do sports; We rediscover the value of lightness. Almost an invitation to search in our wardrobe a sort of escape route from a far from simple reality.
The evasion, moreover, was breathed from the entrance to the fair, thanks to an atmosphere from chiringuito With live music, you will lie, umbrellas and a yacht moored on the gravel, but ready to sail at any moment. And then, we also leave to discover the five Super Trends of men’s fashion next year.

Pietro d’ArtranoRelaxed elegance
We have already said: the password for the man who will come is Relax. Or as Brunello Cucinelli prefers to say: «The Shape of Lighta new idea of ​​male elegance: cultured, refined, never flaunted. It is the image of a man who makes his own style a declaration of freedom and nonchalance, moving grace between fluid silhouettes and sartorial precision ». Translated: Long live the broken, to be dared even in the evening. The trousers are softer and often and willingly leave the place to the Bermuda, who will have a real consecration next year. The shirt is always there but maybe it is in a very light jersey or is directly replaced by Polo and Pullover. Mono and double -breasted blazers find a valid alternative in the Blouson, less structured but always impeccable in the package.

There are those who call it – see Luigi Bianchi – Rose red: an intense and sophisticated shade that is placed between the marc and carmine, with pinkish reflections. It will be the color to have, perfect for breaking and updating the always very strong predominance of neutrals: from white to beige, passing through the tenuous gray. A sort of watershed between the presence, however significant of burgundy and coral, on the one hand, and ancient rose on the other.

Lino & Denim
It is not new: always, summer rhymes with linen, because no other fiber is equally resistant to use, breathable, thermoregulatory and hypoallergenic. In Pitti Uomo 108 we have seen that the next season, however, we will find it really everywhere and, above all, with special treatments, such as spreading or double -handed with highly technological membranes. The other prince fabric will once again be denim: in the season of relaxed elegance, moreover, a real symbol of freedom and transversality could not be missing. Not surprisingly, it is also used to pack full complete with a jacket.

All in Bandana, Sneakers and Espadrilles
If we want to identify the accessory of the PE 2026, impossible not to indicate the handkerchief knotted around the neck. The trend is already underway, especially for women, who have rediscovered the scarf in all its versions, also infecting the men’s wardrobe. Here, therefore, in cotton or silk, in bright or neutral colors, solid or fantasy, however, to always carry, even instead of the tie.
In this mood of relaxation, shoes even become lighter, soft and informal. The sneakers are unlined, in leather like gloves, ideal to wear without socks. The suede replaces the most rigid Suède and the straw is everywhere, so much so that the espadrilles will also be a must-have in the city, naturally in the deluxe version with nappa toma or woven leather. And fashion is inspired by sports, like the pole.

Pedaling without haste
What gives us a greater feeling of freedom than a nice bicycle ride (or motorbike)? The theme of Pitti Immagine’s summer salons is, coincidentally, Bikester: individualist and aggregating, performing and relaxed, technological and artisan, progressive and conservative, competitive and friendly, futurist and vintage, the bicycle summarizes the dualism of our times. From the installations curated by Alessandro Moradei to the proposals of the brands, the two wheels are the protagonists. There are those who, like Herno, even built a capsule of technical garments but usable every day, also to go to the office. Maybe carrying a backpack with a special housing for the helmet on his shoulders. And, speaking of helmets, from Air Force they presented a limited edition dedicated to the Frecce Tricolori in collaboration with Airoh: collectible.
