Nestled in between the major fashion month shows in February and September, Milan Men’s Fashion Week—which takes place in June every year, has attracted Italy’s best-dressed in droves to the Italian city this week. With a runway itinerary that includes the likes for JW Anderson, Prada, Gucci and Valentino, the Italian fashion set arrived dressed to the nines for the elegant occasion.
Styling emerging trends and faithful classics, the style set adapted to the hot Italian climate, keeping their excellent sartorial reputation in tact. From surprising new trends, to old favourites that endure for good reason, read on to discover my favourite trends from the Milanese streets this past Men’s Fashion Week.
4 MAJOR STREET STYLE TRENDS TO COME OUT OF MILAN MEN’S FASHION WEEK
1. PALE BLUE
Style Notes: This summery shade has been everywhere this season, and for good reason. Adding a fresh and spirited energy to your day-to-day styling, this pretty colour trend was spotted all over Milan’s streets this week. Whilst the colour always looks chic with similarly pale tones, it also looks elegant when paired with richer brown or burgundy shades that can anchor the light tone and create a dynamic ensemble.
