March 1, 2016 11:12 am 2 Comments
In Milan, the abundance of style found outside the walls of fashion week are increasingly running parallel with the fashion houses inside. The Milanese sure know how to create hype in the world of fashion. We say ciao to the trends inspired by this week’s street style from Milan Fashion Week AW16.
Pink to make the girls wink
Pink – a radical choice for men’s style? Not really. Italian men, in particular, have been partial to a splash of the rosy hue for decades. Think pale pink casual chinos teamed with tan brogues or an open collared shirt under a navy linen jacket. For men, wearing pink represents sartorial maturity and oozes style confidence in the bucket load. This year, opt for dusky pastel pink knitwear layered underneath a structured, camel jacket or coat.

Is that your man’s shirt?
Layering is crucial for inter-seasonal style. For this season’s base layer, rummage around in a wardrobe belonging to your boyfriend, husband, or male friend and find the largest white shirt possible. An iconic piece for any trendsetter, take inspiration from the Milanese and wear your guy shirt like he would if he’d been out all night. That means undone buttons, a disheveled collar and unraveled cuffs for an quirky, European look.

The season of texture
There’s nothing more chic than a statement coat. Over-sized cocoon coats have reigned for a while now. Add interest with a unique texture and opt for brushed wool in a bright shade. Ensure you stay ahead of the fashion elite with this celestial blue shade. It is bound to make any outfit pop on grey-skied days. The best part? These bold, textured coats require minimal makeup and hair – perfect for sleepy mornings when you’re too tired to groom yourself to perfection.

Top Gun eat your heart out
Usually traditional shearling jackets have been given an urban edge for 2016. This season, style your aviator jacket with minimalism in mind and team with a beanie or some sporty kicks. Seek out unique detailing in your chose pilot-style jacket, like a shearling trim or a dual textured finish. Lapels should be prominent and leather should be sturdy looking. Zips also add a cutting-edge element to what is predominantly a classically heritage piece.

The Cross-body Bag
Ever fallen out of love with your precious tote? A cross-body bag offers the best woman-to-bag relationship – it’s chic, it’s practical, and it’s effortlessly cool. In an ideal world, we would all like to saunter down a Milanese street with one hand in our pocket like Caroline de Maigret, right? Maybe we can’t pull off her level of nonchalant style just yet, but teaming a cross-the-body bag with your everyday attire is certainly a positive step in the right direction.
