The Italian fashion capital is known for offering an endless array of style inspiration. While we keep a close eye on what's happening on the streets of Milan during Fashion Week every February and September, the city continues to be awash with creative combinations of the latest outfits. That means ignoring what Italians have been wearing these past few days would be a capital crime.
This means that people in Milan are pretty intrigued by the trends they wear and tend to style them in elegant ways. Below, check out six street style trends that are standing out the most in the fashion capital right now.
#1. Friulian shoes
"Friulane are the most worn shoes by Milanese," confirm the designers, "and they never go out of style. Colorful and versatile, they are a must-have and we find them particularly elegant when they are also worn as evening flats." Even if you haven't heard the term before, you've definitely seen the shoes. They are a type of traditional Venetian slipper with a velvet upper and rubber sole.
#2. Long skirts
When we think of Milanese fashion, we think of elegance. Right now, that means styling long skirts with pieces like sports jackets, two combinations that are very beautiful and can be seen on Italian women in their 20s and 70s.
#3. Brown jacket
Italian style is generally known for its unique tailoring, which means you'll always find certain elements in an Italian's closet like a tailored blazer or coat. How do they wear their coats now? In rich shades of chocolate and walnut brown, whether it's a suede blazer or a classic wool coat.
#4. Suede bag
While there are certain trends that tend to be confined to a specific city or country, suede bags are one of the best fall and winter items that are clearly making a global appearance. Just like on the streets of New York, suede has recently been just as rampant in the hippest neighborhoods of Milan.
#5. Colorful sneakers
One thing Milanese style can never be? Boring. Italians in the fashion capital always have a standout element to their look and right now they're looking for a pair of bright sneakers to add a pop of color. Adidas Gazelles are the most popular sneakers at the moment and it's very common for Milanese to combine several trends together, like styling a sports jacket with a pair of colorful sneakers or cowboy boots with a long denim skirt.
#6. Wide jeans
It's not often that Italians wear denim, but when they do, it's always in a very progressive way. Baggy jeans are an unmistakable look, which people in Milan like to style with ballet flats for an added dose of elegance.
