Next spring and summer just breezed down the catwalk at Milan Fashion Week SS18, and there are a few key themes we’d like to see strut straight off the runway and into our closets. Here are the trends that made the cut.
Oversized
Large-scale silhouettes work perfectly in trench coats and classic macs that give a heavily
stylized look. Huge white shirts have a sexy-sloppy appeal, while boiler suits look minimal and chic.
Resort Chic
Vacation styling sees saffron, rust, and rich green tones take inspiration from exotic markets
and spice rack color palettes. Luxury silks and lightweight trousers work alongside beading
embroidery.
Retro
Retro styling has been around forever, but it still has a strong presence on the catwalk. This year we’re seeing vintage geek eyewear and a clashing colour palettes that evoke the films of Wes Anderson.
Sports-Inspired
With strong nods to tacky ‘80s and ‘90s sportswear, this season’s graphic tracksuits were adorned with flashy embellishments, shiny fabrics, and ribbon details.
Suited & Booted
Ultra-smart dressing is on the rise with sleek silhouettes and a slight Old World feel showing
a strong presence on the catwalk. High shine detail sits pretty on sharp lapels.
