Creative directors may come and go (the current slate of dismissals and movements within the industry could easily give one whiplash) but what should remain consistent are the heart and values of a brand. It’s something that Brunello Cucinelli knows exceptionally well. Despite its relatively young age—it was founded only 47 years ago—Brunello Cucinelli has built quite a reputation for itself based on its signature stylings and colours.
The brand follows closely its ethos of making high-quality garments that reflect the best of Italian craftsmanship. What began with cashmere sweaters has evolved to include the complicated nature of men’s tailoring; complicated because getting tailoring right is much more difficult due to the many intricacies involved from pattern-making to finishing a suit.
A suit at Brunello Cucinelli can be defined as modern Italian. It has all the key trappings of a classic Italian-made suit—nipped at the waist, a slightly shrunken proportion, little to no padding on the shoulders, and a thoroughly lightweight construction—with adjustments made for today’s sensibilities. While a traditional Italian suit may sit a bit closer to the body, Brunello Cucinelli’s has more give and thus, amplifies that iconic Italian sense of style even more.
Its Spring/Summer 2025 collection’s range of suiting further draws on the idea of an elegant nonchalance to dressing. Here, suiting takes on an almost casual ease that allows them to be worn for just about any occasion. Classic Brunello Cucinelli cream suiting makes perfect sense with a formal shirt and tie pairing as it does with a graphic tee, and for added versatility, break the suit up and pair the blazer with a pattern shirt and dark trousers. No matter what combination you’re more inclined towards, the look remains unabashedly Brunello Cucinelli.
With championing of Italian excellence at its core, it’s no surprise that the brand has levelled up its tailored offerings with a Made-to-Measure service. The Sartoria Solomeo program—named after the brand’s origins and headquarters—takes the Brunello Cucinelli experience up a few notches, bringing a more personalised tailoring service to anyone who wants it. Of course, the main draw is that you’ll be able to add certain touches to a Brunello Cucinelli-style suit with the absolute assurance that it’ll fit you like how it’s meant to and be a timeless addition to your wardrobe. Sure, it’ll take time for a Sartoria Solomeo suit to be completed—roughly about six to eight weeks—but when the attention to detail and make are of the quality you’d expect of a brand like Brunello Cucinelli, the wait is expected.
At the end of the day, whether you’re opting for an off-the-rack Brunello Cucinelli suit or a Made-to-Measure piece, you’re deciding to be discerning. There’s no branding on a Brunello Cucinelli suit of course, but the tell is there, like a whisper to those who understand craftsmanship.
