]]>Introducing our Perfect Cashmere beanie, from dreamy, 8-ply, 100% Cashmere yarn. Our challenge was to produce a perfectly shaped hat, and to avoid the peaks and imperfections in most hats, and to craft a precise, well-thought-out garment. This required constant tweaking and trials by our Italian pattern makers, but we finally got it right. We gravitated to the luxurious feel of cashmere, and prototyped different weights until we arrived at an 8-ply yarn, at which point we knew we had the perfect garment. It is simply gorgeous--lofty, yet weighty, this beanie is a work of art.

The Lorenzo Uomo Sweater Narrative The essence of Italy runs through all our products, whether it’s the crispness of Alto Adige, the sophistication of Tuscany, or the tranquility of Apulia. A piece of each region finds itself in our dreamy cashmere sweaters—collectively known as Collezione Cashmere--whether it be our overshirts or dreamy casuals.
Our featured sweater, the Madison Quarter-zip, was inspired by the sophisticated, metropolitan Milan, Italy's epicenter of finance, culture, and fashion. It is one of our most versatile models--pair with jeans or khakis and instantly elevate the look. Photo above: paired with our exceptional cotton Tee.
Surprises and delights abound in each item, as well as our pledge to bring you the highest level of service, luxury and attention to detail.

]]>We researched the perfect yarn for this job—a European yarn that combines (a) Recycled European cotton excess fabrics and (b) polyester made from the reprocessing of plastic bottles, including those from landfills and oceans. A marriage made in heaven!
Imagine our surprise, and absolute pleasure, when these yarns came out smoother, softer and airier than what we imagined. Processed and spun by our exclusive yarns spinners, the fibers are expertly twisted with the optimal tension. The socks are beautifully lofty, and surprisingly soft and durable.
We have incorporated our exclusive sports-sock “compression” into this sock to enhance the fit. The result is the perfect casual sock at a very friendly price! The combination of these ingredients and our Italian know-how results in the absolute perfect “Clear Conscience Sock”. Your feet will be humming “…under the Sea” all day long!

We are proud to be the #1 aspirational brand in the industry, constantly innovating, searching for the new technique--sometimes even employing yarns in a way that they were not originally intended.
Always at the forefront, we use only the most exclusive yarns--such as the finest Merino Wools, Ombre gradient-dyes, ultra-supple Linens, and the softest cashmere yarn in the world—and craft them into socks that are uniquely expressive.
Shown above: Softest Merino Socks in Light Purple, Light Grey, Black, Amethyst and Abisso ($13), Merino Wool Rugby Space Dye Sock in Purple, Taupe and Red ($14) and our Supple Italian Linen Solid Rib Sock in Purple ($16)
We inject color into everything we do to give a fashion flair, with timeless elegance. With all our products, the devil is in the details. We can go all out with color in our DiPedarius® collection, or just might tip a sock with a ¼” contrast yarn, just for fun. Or even come up with the sock with the perfect gradient effect.
We also created the world’s most comfortable year-round merino wool sock, by “tinkering” with a combination of innovative yarns and technical know-how.
Shown above: Merino 2X Rib Sock in Taupe, Brown and Black ($12)
Our Merino 2X Ribbed sock combines compression technology with the most comfortable merino wool, resulting in the most advanced sock, and a sock drawer “must have”.
We also introduced the most comfortable cross-train sports sock in the world. Made with Coolmax® moisture-wicking yarn, we have incorporated high tech yarns with compression technology. Featuring baby terry support in the foot, arch grips where needed, and a high heel for ultra-comfort. Simply the best.

We are proud to introduce our Perfect Pajama® collection, for him and her: an exquisite ultra-luxurious airy pajama made of the finest, pure cottons on the planet. The dreamy fabric stretches in every direction, enabling the natural flow of movement during sleep.
We spend a third of our lives in bed (or certainly strive to!) Sleep is absolutely everything. We just don’t get the right quality of sleep because regular pajamas are too restrictive and stiff, often folding and bunching in wrong places. The fabric we created for this collection was a result of 2 years of research and development. There is no smoother, airier, pure cotton pajama in the world.
Imagine being free to dream and to sleep the most delicious, restful sleep of all!

Properly washing your cashmere sweaters is essential to maintain their softness, shape, and longevity. Cashmere is a delicate and luxurious fabric that requires special care to ensure it stays in pristine condition.
1. Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and add a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
2. Submerge the cashmere sweater in the water and gently agitate it for a few minutes.
3. Rinse the sweater thoroughly with clean water until all the detergent is removed.
4. Gently squeeze out the excess water from the sweater, but avoid wringing or twisting it.
5. Lay the sweater flat on a clean towel and roll it up to remove any remaining moisture.
6. Unroll the towel and reshape the sweater to its original size and dimensions.
7. Lay the sweater flat on a drying rack or clean, dry towel away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
8. Allow the sweater to air dry completely before storing or wearing it.
1. Clean the cashmere sweater before storing it to prevent any stains or odors from setting in.
2. Fold the sweater neatly and place it in a breathable storage bag or airtight container.
3. Add a sachet of lavender or cedar to repel moths and keep the sweater smelling fresh.
4. Store the sweater in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
If you notice a pull on your cashmere sweater, do not attempt to cut or pull the yarn. Instead, gently stretch the fabric around the pull to realign the fibers. If the pull is severe, it is best to take the sweater to a professional for repair.
By following these proper washing and storage techniques, you can ensure that your cashmere sweaters stay soft, cozy, and beautiful for years to come. Remember to always handle your cashmere garments with care and avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or excessive heat.

Color takes to wool in a unique and incredible way—no other yarns—not even cottons—translate tones in the elegant yet simple way that merino wool does—enhancing the beauty of earth tones and heather colors like no other yarn. The socks look as though they’re painted on.
We then gave it a high-tech edge—incorporating “compression” into the construction—the same technology that goes into our high performance sport socks. The combination of these ingredients and our Italian know-how results in the absolute perfect sock and a sock drawer’s “absolute must-have.” Simply the best merino sock in the world.

You know what they say about socks…
No? Nice. Makes our job that much easier. Okay then, here’s what “they” say about socks, according to “us.”
Socks say more about you than you think. Especially when it comes to colorful socks.
Err too far on the novelty end and you risk falling into try-hard territory. Pair bold, solid colors with the wrong outfit and your socks will stand out in all the wrong ways. Here to help you navigate these troubled and colorful waters are our top 10 picks for the best colorful socks for men.
Comfy, durable, and stylish pairs for the office, formal events, and beyond
Lorenzo Uomo Featured in Town & Country Magazine
For men, the first thing that may come to mind when thinking of formal attire might be a slim white button down, a patterned tie, a pair of loafers—maybe even a bold pocket square. But there's another article of clothing that's equally as essential for pulling together a sharp ensemble: dress socks. Though they may not be the star of a clean-cut 'fit, the foot garments are a necessary finishing touch to looking polished, put together, and most importantly, feeling comfortable. The right pair should be durable and provide all-day support as you're on your feet, while also adding a subtle dose of sophistication to your look.
Given that there's a head-spinning selection available out there on the market, choosing the right pair can understandably be overwhelming. So, we made the work easy for you, with the 21 best dress socks for men to add to your sock drawer, ranging in fabric, cut, and style.
It’s finally happened. For the first time, or the first time in a very long time, you’ve received an invitation with the words “Black Tie,” or “Formal Attire,” engraved into that creamy white paper. Whether it’s a wedding, a charity gala, or a political reception, this is the one time when what has become an almost universal casual dress code is thrown out the window, and all those Society (with a capital S) rules from the 19th-century kick in.
The host or hostess of a formal event has chosen to go this route because they want a very controlled, perfect event, so this is not the time to place yourself in the sartorial spotlight. We men actually get off pretty easy for formal events: Although we’re expected to be well-groomed, dressed appropriately, and on our best behavior, we don’t have to go to nearly the trouble that women do.
We’ve gathered all the tips you’ll need to pull off your formal wardrobe for the day: we’ll leave you to learn all the rest of the proper comportment and etiquette that a truly formal event requires.
Black. To the knee. Sheer, if you’re brave enough to pull that off. No dumpy crew socks. No naked ankles.
The Ryan Seacrest interview is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., but texts from his team about my arrival time begin lighting up the phone well before 1 p.m.: “What is your ETA? He is arriving a bit earlier.” And indeed, at 2:27 p.m. a Range Rover rolls to the curb and out of the back bounds Seacrest, his relieved interviewer having only just sprinted into the private back room of Cosme, a farm-to-table Mexican restaurant in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, one of Seacrest’s favorites since he relocated from Los Angeles four years ago.
“My lunch date!” Seacrest says, bursting through the double doors, thrusting his hand out, his smile electric, his gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona catching the light. His manner is familiar and warm, every ounce of the charisma bomb seen on TV and heard on the radio. He’s chronologically 46, but owing to clean living and his well-documented skin-care regime, could pass for a decade younger. When I mention that I’m relieved to have arrived before him, Seacrest says that while flipping through articles I’d written, he’d read of me showing up late to an interview and got the word out that doing so today would be suboptimal. One minor delay could throw off his whole schedule. “I just really like things to move,” he explains without rancor or menace. “I never am loud, but I like things to stay on schedule and be efficient.”

]]>THE MOST PERFECT SHIRT
Lorenzo Uomo is rooted in a decades’ long passion to create the perfect shirt–one built on impeccable Italian style and New World innovative techniques.
Already established in their banking and real estate careers, Larry Khazzam and Joel Ainatchi did the unthinkable at a time when start-ups were not part of the vernacular… they left. “I took a trip to Italy,” Larry recalls, “and was struck by the sheer force of creativity, and perfectionism–down to every detail, even their socks. The incredible natural beauty of Liguria, Tuscany and the Mediterranean were infused into all aspects of the culture. I knew at once I wanted to do something tangible, something that brought the extraordinary to everyday life.”
Collaborations with the best Italian artisans were forged and Lorenzo Uomo was born. In time, the most respected specialty stores flocked to carry Lorenzo Uomo's socks, men’s underwear and shirts. Lorenzo Uomo became known for its unsurpassed quality yet reasonable prices.
A decade later, the demand for the dress shirts became so overwhelming that Lorenzo Uomo had to find new ways to keep up. A move to Asia was inevitable, as the cost of producing shirts in Italy could not keep up with the demand and became cost prohibitive. But not until Larry and Joel could figure out how to maintain –and even surpass– the quality they first forged in Italy. “We never want to lose touch with our customers,“ Larry says, “why charge more when we can charge less and offer the same quality shirt?”
“In order to ensure perfection," Joel said, "we built a completely vertical approach and oversaw every step of the process–from yarn spinning to fabric production, to the sewing and finishing. This was the only way to replicate our years of Italian know-how and move the process to the Far East.” They sought out factories that conformed to their exacting quality and ethical standards and set about to implement old age Italian techniques. “We had to modify their way of doing things,” Larry adds, “We spent a considerable time and effort on hand-crafting Italian quality shirt patterns, teaching how to sew buttons, and how to stitch shoulders. In many ways creating an even more refined shirt than those that come out of Italy today.” Something that no other brand has been able to achieve to this day.
Beyond quality, the allure of Italy is deep rooted in the Lorenzo Uomo aesthetic. “Our trips to the region are probably even more frequent now,” Larry says, “We have our ears very close to the ground in Italy developing our socks. And this allows us to adapt traditional elements to the way of life today.We’ve always been drawn to simplicity; the freedom and open space of the Mediterranean, the calming blues of seas, the warmth of the sand. Everything is just about the essentials, nothing is processed. This is what drives the Mediterranean way of life. This is what makes the ordinary extraordinary."

THE LORENZO UOMO SHIRT
An impeccable shirt is only possible as a result of a myriad "right" decisions at every step of the process. The result is unsurpassed value and enduring quality.
It all begins with creating the most luxurious shirting fabric in the world. Fabric is the critical ingredient in the making of a perfect shirt–without it, none of the other steps matter.
Unlike so many other shirt makers, we drive every step of our fabric production–from the sourcing of long staple cotton raw material, yarn spinning, design to weaving. It is a process we've honed meticulously over many years.
The result is a shirt with an extremely high density weave found only in very expensive, high luxury shirts–allowing for intricate patterns and softness against your skin.
Every minute detail of each Lorenzo Uomo shirt has been calibrated to create perfect proportions.
Each collar shape has been carefully thought through to be perfectly balanced with each shirt. The weight of the placket and placement of the second button is "just right" to ensure that, when worn open, the collar is not too saggy and not too stiff.
Every fit is meticulously refined and thought out to blend modern elegance with maximum movement and comfort.
The result is a shirt that exudes quality and sophistication.
Every Lorenzo Uomo shirt employs single needle stitching, which is a hallmark of a luxury, high-end shirt. Every stitch is perfect; if it is not, it gets discarded by our strict quality control.
The result is a cleaner, more elegant shirt that lasts longer–at a value that is unsurpassed.
Even the selection of the button –from the material, color, number of holes, and accent thread– is a lengthy and deliberate process. The art is to blend the criteria that brings out the personality and character of each shirt.
The buttons are then sewn on neatly and meticulously, ensuring that they stay on for the life of the shirt.
The result is a shirt that is perfect from the ground up.
