It is an incontestable fact that Italy is amongst the world’s fashion capitals. It is home to some of the famous tailors and sartorial brands this world has beheld.
In this post, we’ll be discussing 24 best Italian suit brands. So, if you’re looking forward to treating your loved one or yourself to a luxury Italian suiting experience, well, ‘suit up.’ You’ll definitely get an idea of which luxury brand best fits your aesthetic.
Let’s start our list by discussing one of the greatest labels in the fashion world – Armani!
1. Armani
‘Impeccable, evergreen style, and polish’ – this is how Armani describes their suits!
It goes without saying that Armani is one of the most luxurious and premium Italian suit brands. Founded by Giorgio Armani and Sergio Galeotti, Armani as a brand is minimalistic and effortless, yet it screams class and demands all the right attention.
Their first-ever men’s collection was launched in October 1975. Since then, the brand has only gotten bigger and better, especially with its launch of different labels, including Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani EA7, and A|X.
2. Fendi
Founded by the power couple Edoardo and Adele Fendi in 1925, Fendi originally prided their fur and leather items. With time, the newer generation of Fendi started working with contemporary designs, fabrics, and colors, and today it is one of the most loved Italian luxury suit brands.
On Fendi’s official website, you’ll see not only minimalistic colors and designs but also some exotic colors and fabrics.
If you’re planning to treat yourself to one of Fendi’s posh suits, remember that their size guide follows Italian sizing.
3. Belvest
If you want to don an eclectic style Italy-made suit, Belvest is another best option. ‘BECOME YOUR OWN STORY,’ Belvest says. And in all fairness, they come up with true story-worthy suit designs.
Belvest plays with different fabrics, patterns, and textures for their suit designs, and we dig it! Wool and cashmere were the highlights of their show for the 2021 fall/winter collection, and we cannot wait to see the richness Belvest has to offer this year!
4. Caraceni
Caraceni ‘Sartoria’ are not only renowned in Italy but worldwide for their tailor-made suits. There are multiple Caraceni suit brands operating today, but the first of these brands, ‘DOMENICO CARACENI,’ was first established by the father of Italian tailoring, D. Caraceni, in 1913.
Fun fact – The Caracenis has dressed some of the world’s most celebrated and historical figures over the world.
While the Caraceni label, as a whole, is considered one of the most prestigious Italian tailor-made suit brands, sartorial experts cannot help but lean towards A. Caraceni, operated by Augusto Caraceni’s son, Mario Caraceni.
5. Cesare Attolini
Cesare Attolini started as a small Napoli shop established in the 1930s by Vincenzo Attolini.
Given how each of Attolini’s suits that leave the tailor is precious; designed, cut, and stitch to the perfection, they are definitely worthy of the price tag they come with, i.e., about $4000 to $6000.
Their catalog offers a good collection of sophisticated colors, including black, blue, brown, and grey. Moreover, it seems like ‘Boat style’ chest pockets are definitely in trend at the moment in the Attolini house!
6. Isaia
Isaia suits are not only praised for their ‘luxury’ label but also their quality. With this brand, you get what you pay for!
Today, Isaia specializes in men’s contemporary fashion, be it casual or official. Men who buy their Isaia suit wear and flaunt it for years.
Therefore, it would be definitely fair to say that Isaia is one of the best luxury Italian suits that offer not only high-quality design and fabrics but also an experience to their buyers!
7. Kiton
Kiton is among the most expensive Italian suit brands, and for a reason! They use the finest and rarest grade of materials in their clothes, and most of their suits are handmade to match their client’s vision.
For instance, their Kiton K50 suit, made up of Merino sheep wool, takes 50 hours of human labor. No wonder these suits sell for $50,000 and above.
Kiton’s website says that their single jacket has at least 25 human hands working on it. This sartorial truly put intense work into their designs!
8. Larusmiani
Guglielmo Milani founded Larusmiani in 1922, and the first-ever Larusmiani store was opened in 1922. Its boutique is located on Via Montenapoleone, Milan.

Ferragamo, today, has become an international luxury brand offering shoes, clothes, perfumes, leather goods, and other luxury goods.

Many associate ‘Elegance’ with Lardini, and we second their opinion! The brand really speaks of light-heartedness and elegance. You’ll not only see darker ‘classy’ suits in their catalog but also be able to witness the way the brand plays with colors and designs.

20. Dolce & Gabbana
While Dolce & Gabbana is worldwide recognized for its feminine take on contemporary fashion and accessories, its line of men’s suits and blazers is equally impeccable.
From classic and minimalistic tuxedos to eccentric and vibrant suits, you can expect an interesting assortment of suits from this Italian luxury brand.
Typically, Dolce & Gabbana’s suits demand a couple of thousand value. But if your eyes are set on runway suit pieces, expect to pay more than $10,000.
21. Brioni
When you pay for a luxury brand item, you’ll not only be paying for the clothing piece.
You’ll be paying for the finest fabric selected for your comfort, the craftsmanship and the attention-to-detail of tailors who put hours of labor into making your suit with their own hands, and for the entire luxury experience.
Brioni is one such exemplary example. No wonder their suits are beloved by many celebrities and world leaders. The minimum price Brioni handmade suits demand is $6,000.
