Best Street-Style Looks and Trends From Milan Fashion Week to Shop

Proper spring temperatures in Milan this week offered plenty of warmer weather style inspiration. Many showgoers swapped out their thick winter coats for lighter outerwear to mark the seasonal shift. Some days it was even warm enough to step out in skirts and mini-dresses without tights. While spring officially kicks off on March 20, see and shop the best Milan fashion week looks ahead to give you a jolt of style inspiration.

1. The Striped Polo and Sequin Skirt

If you’ve been curious about trying the sequin skirt trend, but unsure how to make it feel “less disco”, try balancing the playfulness of the skirt with a sporty striped polo or rugby shirt and a sharp blazer.

2. The Moodboosting Layers and Minimalist Skirt

If you’ve had a strong case of the winter blues, have some fun injecting color in your wardrobe. You can hold onto your minimalist staples and lean into bold colorblocking.

3. The Mac Coat and Easy Shift Dress

This is one of those easy outfit formulas that you can turn to when you have no idea what to wear. It can take you from an important meeting at the office to dinner with friends at night. All you need in your closet is a Mac coat for when unexpected weather arises, a simple shift dress, and an elegant carryall. Lié Studio’s tote bag is not only stylish, but it features a wide strap, making it comfortable to wear during long commutes and is roomy enough to store plenty of office essentials.

4. The Statement Blazer and Wide-Leg Jeans

Wearing the same blazer over and over again does nothing to stir up excitement in your daily office wardrobe. Spotted here is Monse’s viral criss-cross belted-blazer (also worn by Michelle Obama). It’s one of those special fashion pieces that will have ordinary strangers complimenting you on the street and asking, “Where is that blazer from?” Play with proportions in the look by styling it with wide-leg jeans.

5. The Unstructured Trench and Soft Layers

A softer color palette can be a nice counterpoint to a dark winter wardrobe. Try an unstructured trench coat in white instead of the usual beige and style it with a sheer skirt and an oatmeal-colored knit.

6. The Utility Jacket and Relaxed Silk Trousers

Here is how to layer like a pro for spring. Carhartt’s Michigan jacket is not only practical, but looks great when styled with a white tee and button-down shirt underneath. Balance the stiffness of the structured jacket with billowy drawstring trousers for an effortless, low-key look.
