I've Been Studying Milanese Street Style All Day—These 4 Chic Trends Are Taking Over the City

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 of 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, attendees adapted to the hot Italian climate, keeping their excellent style reputation in tact. From surprising new trends to old favourites that endure for good reason, read on to discover my favourite street style trends from the Milan Men's Fashion Week 2024.
4 MAJOR STREET STYLE TRENDS TO COME OUT OF MILAN MEN'S FASHION WEEK 2024
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.
SHOP THE PALE BLUE TREND:
This dress features adjustable straps that can be altered to your preference.
I always come back to With Nothing Underneath for their perfect poplin shirts.
2. EMBELLISHED HEMLINES
Style Notes: The easiest way to ensure your outfit always feels elegant, a dramatic hemline will add a flamboyant touch to your look in the most wearable way.

This is the perfect party dress for any brides to be.
3. LONG DENIM SHORTS
Style Notes: All across Europe, the long denim shorts trend is taking off, and naturally the Italians are leading the way. Wearing theirs with everything from playful tees to structured layers, the long shorts trend is proving to be one of the most versatile out there.

4. SPORTS-CORE
Style Notes: Just in time for the Euros kick off, the sports-core trend was a major player this week in Milan, and the Italian crowd embraced it in every form. From baggy football shirts to roomy hocky jerseys and classic Argyls socks, no sporty style was left behind. Comfortable enough to jaunt from show-to-show, but interesting enough to match the fashion week energy, this sporty trend is one that you're bound to catch all over London's streets this season, too.
