Setting the tone for the season’s menswear mood, Milan Fashion Week Men's kicked off this week, making the Italian capital a magnet for the industry's most stylish, drawing them in with the promise of new-season Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Giorgio Armani—not to mention sunshine and gelato.
Whilst the runways offered a vision of what’s to come, it was the streets that painted a real-time portrait of how fashion is being worn right now. Undeterred by the scorching temperatures, attendees kept their cool, indulging in new-season trends and elegant staples in equal measure.
From easy elegance to textured delights, these are the five street style trends that took over Milan this week.
The 5 Chicest Street Style Trends From Milan Men's Fashion Week
1. Summer Shirting
Style Notes: While Londoners are embracing lace-trimmed blouses and romantic embroidery, Milan’s style set is taking a more streamlined approach, pulling their inspiration straight from the menswear runways. Think boxy, short-sleeved tailored shirts, styled with swishy skirts, sharp trousers or laid-back denim.
Shop Short-Sleeve Shirts:
Style this buttoned-up with trousers or wear undone over a simple tank.
This also comes in white.
This lightweight layer is perfect for high-summer styling.
2. Teeming with Texture
Style Notes: Milanese dressers have a sixth sense for drama, and this season, that manifested in the form of tactile texture. From sweeping fringing to frothy ruffles, Milan's streets were crowded by swishy steps.
Shop the Texture Trend:
Style these with tall heels or take a relaxed approach and pair with simple Mary Janes.
This comes in sizes XXS—4XL.
Wear this with the matching top or style with a simple tee.
3. Get Your Greens
Style Notes: After a week of dashing between shows in the summer heat, sustenance comes in many forms—and this time, it was the style set’s take on a healthy dose of green. From vibrant dill to earthy olive, bold green pieces added freshness en masse.
Shop the Green Colour Trend:
The linen composition ensures a light and breathable finish.
This looks much more expensive than it actually is.
Style with the matching vest or pair with a simple white tank.
4. Heatwave Hair
Style Notes: The chicest way to handle heatwave hair, the Milanese style set resisted the urge to scrape back their hair in frizz frustration and instead wove elegant cotton and silk scarves around their heads. A simple accessory, yes—but one that added instant polish and personality. Expect to see this everywhere as we move through the summer months.
Shop Headscarves:
This elegant satin scarf offers such an easy way to elevate your styling.
I can't see this pretty scarf styling in stock for long.
This also comes in a light beige shade.
5. Haute Halternecks
Style Notes: Farewell to basic tanks—this season’s key summer top trend is the halterneck. With its subtly sculptural neckline and breezy fit, it’s the fashion insider’s shortcut to looking pulled-together while staying cool. Paired with everything from tailored trousers to fluid skirts, it lends just the right amount of retro allure to the modern summer wardrobe.
Shop Halterneck Tops:
Every great summer wardrobe starts with a dose of fresh white linen.
I would easily believe you if you told me this was designer.
This also comes in nine other colours!
