Pitti Uomo is a mega tradeshow and menswear mecca that boasts over 1000 vendors and 20,000 attendees at its 83rd installment (The trade fair launched in 1951 with 6 or 7 Italian tailors and couturiers). Now its THE place for brands to debut their collections.

I’m relatively new to the menswear world, doing more research in the past few months for Larrimor’s than I have in my whole life. And I have to say, from getting my shoes shined to seeing the dapper sales associates’ subtle mix of prints in the store, men’s style is very inspiring.

Tommy Ton is the best street style photographer out there. His coverage for Style.com of Pitti was even aptly subtitled “tommy ton always gets the shot”. He did extensive coverage for GQ also. Below are the best of his shots.
