What Exactly is Pitti Uomo?

By Corey Stokes (Complex)

Pitti Uomo kicks off today, and while the #menswear world is buzzing with the hype that comes this time of the year, we thought it'd be the right time to break down exactly what this bi-annual event is.

Aside from being a destination to potentially get snapped by street-style gawds Scott Schuman and Tommy Ton, Pitti Uomo is a place of business. As the men's portion of the Pitti Immagine collection of fashion events, Pitti Uomo is a tradeshow in Florence, Italy that's been around since 1972. It's a four-day market-facing event in which retailers, buyers, and editors come together to view upcoming collections (in this case, Fall 2014).

Most importantly, brands gather under one roof to display a full season (mainly) for buyers, who select the pieces and quantities they wish to order. This is the moment that stores decide what they're going to eventually sell to you, the customer. Once these orders are filled out, the brands spend the next few months producing the correct quantity and they eventually make their way to stores approximately six months later.

Watch It! - Lacoste Montreal Men's Watch

Check out this beautiful Lacoste timepiece.  The Lacoste Montreal is nicely designed with a brown leather strap and a sporty design with minimal accents, and with a price tag under $200, it doesn't limit who can get their hands on a new watch for the new year.  Check it out online at the Bay.

Quiksilver Torrance Zip Hoodie

I know lately we've been really into the whole streeetwear thing, but we wanted to bring things back a little to our action sports roots with this sweet Quiksilver zip up.  With logo printing on the right chest and back, as well as the right sleve, the Torrance hoodie incorporates a little bit of what is going down in streetwear with hardcore logo culture, but is still perfect for an early moring surf sesh or late night bonfire.  Check it out online here.
