After thoroughly exploring Milan Fashion Week throughout the week, we have compiled the prominent trends that consistently emerged, particularly regarding leather and blazers. This season, leather encompasses a variety of items: coats, bags, shoes—every piece is receiving this treatment. Blazers are evolving beyond traditional suits; they are transforming into wearable art and bold statements, whether in the form of a pantsuit or as sharply structured separates. Below are some of the standout looks that particularly captured our attention.
1. The Cropped Trench and a Pop of Burgundy
A fitted black cropped trench coat is always a wise choice as we move into the cooler months. She pairs it with relaxed jeans and chunky platform loafers, achieving a harmonious blend of structured and casual styles. To inject a splash of color, she incorporates a beautiful burgundy woven bag: minimal yet sufficiently striking to make an impression.
2. Monochrome Moments and Leather Bombers
The men of Milan are well aware of leather's impact. We noticed one exceptional outfit: a black leather bomber jacket paired with dark-wash baggy jeans, a black t-shirt, and black sneakers. He completes the look with a monogram belt, adding just the right touch of luxury to an otherwise simple ensemble.
3. Earth Tones and Silver Buttons
A touch of monochrome charm is evident in this outfit, but let’s focus on that blazer. She is styled in a brown blazer adorned with silver buttons, matched with flowy brown trousers and nude suede loafers. Her brown woven bag seamlessly unifies the look, blending colors and textures with ease.
4. Pinstripes by the Duomo
This ensemble epitomizes classic Italian style, requiring no additional notes. He sports a sharp pinstripe blazer paired with a crisp white button-down shirt tucked in. A nude trouser adds a light touch, while his choice of sophisticated eyewear perfectly enhances the overall appearance. Casual yet refined, he lounges effortlessly near the Duomo.
5. NYC Meets Milan
She brings a touch of New York attitude directly to the Milan runway. On her head, she has styled a combination of a hat and scarf, complemented by dark sunglasses. Moving down, she wears a sleek leather coat over cropped black pants. The brown suede slouchy boots? A standout moment. Her structured brown textured top-handle bag ties the entire look together, representing streetwear in its elevated Milan form.
6. The Bomber, Reimagined
Another man, another leather bomber jacket. This piece has become an unofficial staple of Milan's menswear. He opts for a crisp white tee and black jorts, a daring choice for the fall-winter season, yet executed flawlessly. Black Adidas Sambas and ankle socks anchor the outfit, creating a clean black and white aesthetic that simply works.
7. The Legging-Stiletto Power Combo
The combination of leggings and stilettos, as popularized by Kendall Jenner, is a style that will never fade. She pairs this bottom duo with a sleek suede coat and a matching brown top-handle bag. The outcome? Timeless, minimal, and undeniably chic.
8. Scooter Style: The Tan Suit Code
We know we’re in Italy when we spot a tan suit on a scooter. He clearly understands the assignment, pairing it with suede loafers and a white tee. This look proves that sometimes, less truly is more, especially when it comes to effortless neutrals like this.
9. Quiet Luxury in Cream and Navy
This outfit exemplifies quiet luxury. She is dressed in a pleated cream Prada skirt and a navy blazer, with metallic gold slingback heels providing just the right amount of shimmer. Her mixed-pink hue bag and coordinating scarf serve as the perfect finishing touches, adding a pop of color that unifies the entire ensemble.
10. Subdued Green and the Overlooked Influence of Color
We never realized how much we could appreciate the combination of muted green and brown. She moves gracefully through the city wearing a fitted pantsuit, brown heels, and a coordinating brown tee tucked in. This serves as a reminder that we might be undervaluing the impact of color this autumn.
