10 Italian Menswear Brands you need to know
When we think of Italian fashion, ‘sophistication’, ‘elegance’ and ‘class’ are just a few of the terms that instantly spring to mind. Home to some of the world’s finest designers and top fabric manufacturers, it’s no wonder Italy has earned itself such a strong reputation in the world of menswear.
Region-specific industries and family-run businesses have helped the country keep its authentic flair for fashion alive, allowing many brands to operate using the same traditional production processes today as they always have. As a result, the country’s signature suave aesthetic and across the board dedication to superior quality continue to reign supreme.
But outside of the fashion industry’s household names – Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Armani, Gucci et al. – what other Italian brands should be on your radar? Expand your sartorial horizons with our rundown of 10 lesser-known labels that deserve their place in your wardrobe.
1. Tod’s
Tod’s is possibly one of Italy’s biggest success stories, expanding from a family-run business back in the 1990s to a world-renowned retailer of luxury leather footwear across Europe, Asia and the US.
To this day, the label produces all of its shoes on home turf, along with a stylish and sophisticated range of bags and accessories.
