We’re fresh off the heels of Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week, and the fashion world is abuzz with talk about the styles that will inevitably inform fashion throughout this fall and beyond.
This season, Milan’s looks were either classic styles or comforting pieces that are likely to stay relevant in the men's fashion world for several years.
The question is, what can we learn about upcoming men's fashion trends as we look back at the entire week? Keep on reading to find out our takes on what Milan means for fall fashion on the whole.
Don’t Doubt the Denim
Double denim might’ve been on the back burner for years, but if you take any lessons from Milan’s men’s week, let it be this: you don’t want to doubt the power of double denim right now. We saw this style cropping time and again, not just from one designer, but from…well, most of them if we’re honest. Dolce & Gabbana and Massimo Georgetti from MSGM went particularly full throttle on the denim front, with entirely denim ensembles dazzling on the catwalk. Even brands that typically stay away from denim in their collections appeared to dabble this year, including Brunello Cucinneli, who showcased raw-edged denim in place of more typical casual cashmere looks.
The Peak of Practical Performance
Runway fashions might not be practical, but this season in Milan there were plenty of comfortable go-to outfits. This was perhaps most evident from London designer brand Saul Nash during a Milan debut that included high-performance outerwear such as enveloping parkas and chunky multi-purpose cummerbunds. And, Saul Nasuh weren’t the only ones dabbling in practical outerwear. This year’s show also saw Italian brand Brioni transforming its iconic tailored blazers with detachable insulating gilets for the first time. In fact, there was a parka coat in pretty much every collection!
A Nod to Accessories
The accessories on display at Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week tend to be as hot as the fashions themselves, and in previous years have included everything from beanies to men’s silver necklaces. This year’s accessories were every bit as interesting and included Church’s high-tech lace-ups in the Biblioteca Braidense library and a new model of Derby boots by Santoni. Luxury luggage also gave us all something to talk about, with Valextra zooming in on ‘commuter-intended signature designs with modern needs in mind’, which included new proportions for both the Boston Babila weekender bag and Avietta briefcase.
Takeaway
Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week always marks an exciting moment in the fashion calendar, and this year was no exception thanks to shows that spoke to a modern audience. From drop-dead denim to accessories that look great and serve a practical purpose, Fall 2025 looks set to bring men’s fashion-forward in all of the right ways.
