MILAN FASHION WEEK MEN'S SS20 STREET STYLE

Milan’s tailoring game is really up there, and Fashion Week’s guests certainly delivered. Take the warm-weather, smart-casual co-ord above. It’s the summer party/destination wedding look we’ve all been waiting for. Paired back for traversing Fashion Week with a matching T-shirt and high-top kicks, he’s taken summer tailoring to new, laid-back territory. With a YSL cardholder and round sunglasses bringing this outfit together, it’s cobalt-cool personified

We probs don’t need to tell you by now but in case you missed it; utility styles are key this season. The pocket-heavy, safari-esque vibe slides nicely into any summer wardrobe. Take this guy above proving that all-black everything still has its place alongside the more vibrant hues of the season (we’ll get to those later) topped off with a utility vest. Ideal for all those Fashion Week passes and after party invites.

Yep, told you those vibrant hues would make an appearance. This stylish duo are serving up revere-collar realness opting for shirts so good, they look like they’ve just stepped off the set of 1996’s Romeo & Juliet, arguably the most important film for inspiration when it comes to picking up a statement summer shirt. With some check pants on the left and a plain, pleated style on the right, these dudes have proved that you don’t need to stick to your trusty black skinnies when you’re working with a hectic design up top.

With the utility trend came a rise in tonal color choices but beige doesn’t have to be boring. Just take the guy above, with a strong base, he’s opted to represent the brighter side of the spectrum with subdued and wearable aplomb. By choosing pants that seamlessly match the sunset shades in his Harrington jacket, he’s concocted a style that taps into two contrasting color schemes. Oh, and extra points for picking up a mesh jacket for the sun-drenched Milanese climate.

Monochrome looks may have taken a back seat in terms of this year’s biggest trends but the lad above, confidently striding down the Milan backstreets, is the perfect example of less is more. With a white overshirt matching his Armani logo tee, plus the soles and laces of those GA kicks, he’s proved that in a fashionscape ruled by bold hues and loud prints — sometimes it pays to revisit the classics.

Talking of 2019 loud prints, animal print is the choice that’s shaken up menswear the most. If you’re still left pondering how to work such a statement look into a beer garden ’fit, you only need to look to these two street stylers for not one, but two ways to slip into more wild territory. Revere shirts are basically summer as a garment, so picking one up in a leopard finish is a one-piece win in terms of jumping on the hype. Alternatively, the guy on the right has opted for snake print shorts, which, when read out loud, sound pretty, well… wild. But, as he’s so effortlessly shown, just pair with a simple tee and necklace combo to take animal print from "eyebrow raising" to ‘catch us in these all summer long.’

Tired of recycling your classic navy/gray/black suit with a white shirt for all your summer events? Well, thanks to the Milanese stylish set there’s a perfect alternative for all your formal functions right here. The trick to wearing printed shirts with a suit is to skimp out on the accessories and let the print do the work for you. Find a design that matches your suit choice in terms of highlights to give your look a nice, contrasting edge. The only thing left to do from there is pick up some classic shades and find some summer-appropriate footwear. Espadrilles with a suit? Sure, after all, sometimes it’s more fun to break the rules.
