Street style at Pitti Uomo: Female attendees signal gender fluidity

The 109th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo took place in Florence from January 13–16, 2026. Widely regarded as the largest menswear trade show in Europe and one of the most important globally, Pitti Uomo’s influence extends far beyond its scale. It plays a pivotal role in shaping menswear trends, both within the fairgrounds and across the city.

Fashion media has long coined the term “Pitti Peacocks” to describe attendees who dress with confidence and individuality, blending classic luxury tailoring with contemporary and experimental elements. In recent seasons, however, there has been a notable rise in female attendees. Rather than simply borrowing from menswear, these women are redefining it—creating fluid, hybrid looks that combine masculine codes with feminine silhouettes and sporty influences. Their growing presence at what is traditionally a menswear event reflects a broader cultural shift toward gender-fluid, interdisciplinary fashion.
