Italian fashion individuals are the most stylish—here are 5 trends currently emerging in Milan.
Setting the tone for the men's fashion mood this season, Milan Fashion Week Men's kicked off this week, transforming the Italian capital into a hotspot for the industry's most fashionable, drawing them in with the allure of new collections from Prada, Vivienne Westwood, and Giorgio Armani, along with sunny weather and gelato. While the runways presented a glimpse of upcoming trends, it was on the streets that a real-time depiction of how fashion is being worn emerged. Despite the sweltering heat, attendees remained stylish, showcasing a mix of new trends and timeless essentials. From effortless elegance to playful textures, here are the five street style trends that dominated Milan this week.
**The 5 Chicest Street Style Trends From Milan Men's Fashion Week**
1. **Summer Shirting**
**Style Notes:** While Londoners are opting for lace-trimmed blouses and romantic embroidery, Milan's fashion crowd is taking a more streamlined route, drawing inspiration directly from menswear runways. Expect boxy, short-sleeved tailored shirts, paired with flowing skirts, sharp trousers, or casual denim.
**Shop Short-Sleeve Shirts:**
Pair this buttoned shirt with trousers or wear it open over a simple tank.
- **COS**: Boxy Short-Sleeved Poplin Shirt (also available in white)
- **Mango**: Short Sleeve Linen-Blend Shirt (a lightweight option ideal for high-summer styling).
2. **Teeming with Texture**
**Style Notes:** Milanese fashion enthusiasts have a knack for drama, and this season it showed through tactile textures. From sweeping fringes to playful ruffles, Milan's streets were alive with movement.
**Shop the Texture Trend:**
- **Arrange**: Fringe Embellished Minimal Column Midi Dress in Monochrome Print (style with tall heels or opt for a relaxed look with simple Mary Janes; available in sizes XXS—4XL).
- **Farm Rio**: Fringed Printed Satin Midi Skirt (can be worn with the matching top or styled with a plain tee).
3. **Get Your Greens**
**Style Notes:** After a week of rushing between shows in the summer heat, refreshment took many forms, with a focus on a healthy splash of green. Ranging from vibrant dill to earthy olive, bold green pieces brought a refreshing touch.
**Shop the Green Colour Trend:**
- **Reformation**: Belma Linen Dress (the linen fabric ensures a light, breathable finish and looks pricier than its actual cost).
- **Zara**: Combined Pleated Knit Skirt (pair with the matching vest or a simple white tank).
4. **Heatwave Hair**
**Style Notes:** The most stylish way to manage frizz during a heatwave, the Milanese crowd opted for elegant cotton and silk scarves wrapped around their heads instead of tying their hair back. A simple yet effective accessory, it adds instant elegance and character. Expect this trend to flourish as we progress through the summer.
**Shop Headscarves:**
- **Eugenia Kim**: Gigi Satin Head Scarf (this chic satin scarf offers a quick way to enhance your look).
- **Zara**: Striped Scarf With Embroidered Flowers (this beautiful scarf won't be in stock for long).
- **Massimo Dutti**: Paisley Print 100% Silk Bandana (also available in light beige).
5. **Haute Halternecks**
**Style Notes:** Say goodbye to ordinary tank tops; this season’s standout summer top trend is the halterneck. With its subtly sculptural neckline and airy fit, it's the insider's shortcut to looking polished while staying cool. Paired with tailored trousers or fluid skirts, it adds just the right hint of retro charm to a contemporary summer wardrobe.
**Shop Halterneck Tops:**
- **Reformation**: Reese Linen Top (every great summer wardrobe begins with a touch of fresh white linen).
- **Massimo Dutti**: Open Back Halter Top (looks designer-quality).
- **Free People**: Still Here Halter Cami (also available in nine other colors).
