Oh, Milano! Home to Prada, Versace, Gucci, Miu Miu, Fendi and so many more legendary Houses, your influence on the fashion world is nothing short of iconic.
A city that breathes style, Milan has long been a breeding ground for major trends—and there’s no better time to witness its magic than between late February and early March, otherwise known as Milan Fashion Week. For a dazzling few days, the world's most stylish descend upon the city, turning its streets into a runway of outfit inspiration. And the Milanese? They never disappoint. More fabulous than their London counterparts and bolder than their Parisian sisters, Milan’s street style has a certain eccentricity that sets it apart.
Inspired by the flurry of noteworthy looks spotted around the city, I’ve combed through hundreds of street style images to pinpoint the biggest trends taking over in Milan right now. Keep reading to discover them.
5 MILAN FASHION WEEK STREET STYLE TRENDS TO KNOW ABOUT NOW
1. PRETTY IN PINK
Style Notes: A pretty retort to last year's obsession with fiery red hues, this softer, gentler shade has quietly swept onto the Milan street style scene this season. Like the first blush of spring, it brings a fresh, optimistic energy that fashion’s elite have wholeheartedly embraced. From head-to-toe monochrome moments to subtle accents in handbags and heels, pale pink is having its moment right now.
This romantic shade layers so well over relaxed neutrals.
Add a dose of optimism to your springtime wardrobe.
SHOP PINK:
Whilst I love this in pink, it also comes in 10 other shades.
Style this with the coordinating trousers, or pair it with a relaxed pair of jeans.
Shop the matching Trousers (£30).
This is large enough to stow away your daily essentials.
2. ROUND-TOE SHOES
Style Notes: For seasons, pointed-toe shoes have reigned supreme in the street style scene. But this time around, a fresh contender is stepping into the spotlight. Gently ousting their angular predecessors, round-toe styles have been making waves in Milan—gracing everything from towering boots to elegant heels. The verdict? This season, no chic shoe feels complete without a softly curved finish.
Round-toe boots were a key theme during MFW.
A rounded toe creates a fresh-feeling structure.
SHOP ROUND-TOE SHOES:
The sumptuous velvet finish gives these such a luxe feel.
Only one word comes to mind: chic!
Style with denim as we wait out the final weeks of winter.
3. FEATHERY SKIRTS
Style Notes: A playful alternative to the sleek pencil skirts and prim pleats dominating New York and London, this feather-adorned trend is pure Milan—where more is always more. With its undeniable drama, fluid movement and touch of extravagance, I can see exactly why the Milanese are such fans.
Style a feathery skirt over trousers to nod to the emerging Y2K trend.
A feathery skirt adds opulence with ease.
SHOP FEATHERY SKIRTS:
Shop this whilst it's on sale.
Style this with a simple vest top, or pair it with an elegant draped blouse.
Miu Miu's feather skirts are a fashion-person favourite.
4. ZEBRA PRINT
Style Notes: Giving the leopard-print trend a well-earned breather, the Milanese have turned their attention to the latest statement-making motif: zebra print. A monochrome print that slots easily into a capsule wardrobe, it’s no wonder this striking pattern is creeping in right now.
A chic zebra-print skirt is an easy and wearable way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe.
Go all-out and style a floor-sweeping leopard print coat.
SHOP ZEBRA PRINT:
Trust me: this won't stay in stock for long.
This also comes in a cow-print design.
This chic mini also comes in five other colourways.
5. BELTED OUTERWEAR
Style Notes: Instead of piling on jewels or overloading with accessories, the Milanese have embraced a more refined finishing touch this fashion week: a sleek belt cinched over outerwear. Adding shape and structure to their form, this styling trick proves that sometimes, the simplest details make the biggest impact.
A belted blazer is the easiest way to elevated your day-to-day styling.
I can't see this trend slowing down any time soon.
SHOP BELTS:
Loop this around your favourite jeans or style over a boxy blazer.
This comes in three different sizes, so you can find your perfect fit.
