As London Fashion Week Men's drew to a close last week, the style set flew to Italy for the next instalment of menswear showcases.

First up was Pitti Uomo, a three-day trade show in Florence, followed by Milan Fashion Week Men's over the weekend.

In Florence, buyers, press and influencers were given a preview of the most exciting emerging menswear brands and trends, while Milan was a showcase of best-in-class clothing from master menswear designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Armani.

As is so often the case, some of the best wardrobe inspiration came from the impeccably turned-out gents attending the shows, as much as those walking in them.

From next level tailoring to maximalist streetwear, the cities were alive with individuality and sartorial savoir-faire.

Here are some of the key menswear trends to note:

Berets and baker boy hats

Proving they're not just for the gals, berets and baker boy hats were given serious attitude when paired with suits and down jackets.

Bum bags

Iterations of last season's bumbag were everywhere - the only way to wear one now it would seem is slung across one's chest. Pull this one off and you're cooler than cool. You're ice cold.

Lace-up leather boots

Lace-up trekking-style boots were the footwear du jour. Wear with your trousers rolled up and some fun socks on show to really nail the trend.
