STATEMENT COATS AND CORP COOL: THE STREET STYLE WE’RE STEALING FROM MILAN'S MENSWEAR SHOWS

Q: Where’s better to look for new-season style inspo than Milan? A: Nowhere. We couldn’t help but notice all the street-style looks hitting our feeds over the weekend from the Milan Fashion Week menswear shows. The good news for you: we’ve rounded up the best trends so you can take them into the new season. From the corpcore aesthetic that just keeps growing in popularity to red’s continuous reign, scroll to see them all.

Minimalism is out for 2025 and we’re loving these bold coat styles. Whether you opt for a graphic print, faux-fur texture or something with boxy structure, one thing’s for sure – your coat is the main character this season. Making your coat the centre piece of your outfit also means you can go low key with the rest of the look – a super-easy outfit formula you literally can’t get wrong.

In recent seasons, menswear bags have been steering away from techy crossbody’s and onto bigger, slouchier styles (a side-effect of the more formal silhouettes we’re seeing on the runways). Bags are becoming more integral to a look, rather than just a throw-on accessory for practicality. Leather totes are classic, but this brown suede bag worn as a clutch really captures a cool 70s vibe.

Tailoring is a wardrobe staple, but more and more structured styles are appearing on the runways. Whether it’s a Patrick Bateman-inspired suit (after the rumoured remake) or something with street origins, if you include a tie, you’re golden. We love this trend because you’ve probably got some corpy pieces in your wardrobe you can style up already, and you can wear it for the 9-5 *and* the 5-9.

Scarves are more than just an accessory this season. They’re outfit-makers. And there’s no rulebook with this one – go for something slimline like the tartan scarf above, or make it an XL length for drama. Sunglasses, optional.

We didn’t predict how popular red would continue to be in 2025, but we’re not mad at it. Whether you choose to go head-to-toe (including the scarf!) or opt for a colour pop, make sure you’re incorporating it into your winter looks – dopamine dressing is real, and this grey weather needs brightening up.
