I Bet These 5 Trends From Milan Will Blow Up Next Spring
While the festivities surrounding Milan Fashion Week were considerably duller than usual, the same can't be said for the clothes. The spring/summer 2021 runway looks from Italian heavyweights like Versace, Prada, Tod's, and Fendi were anything but lifeless. Brands brought their A-game despite extenuating circumstances, just like they did during NYFW and London Fashion Week this season, lending some much-needed hope to fashion fans everywhere.
We scoured through the images and came across a handful of recurring themes during Milan Fashion Week. One of them was very much in line with what most of us have been wearing at home lately: sweatshirts. Of course, they were given a high-fashion spin via sleeve details, logos, and interesting styling techniques. Scroll down to see and shop all five of the standout trends.

That was the motto of brands like Prada, MM6 Maison Margiela, and Max Mara, who all presented upgraded hoodies for S/S 21. I particularly love how Prada scrunched up the sleeves of its white sweatshirt and styled it with a thin turtleneck underneath.

We love how this season, Italian designers made them feel abnormally approachable with the addition of matching tops, printed blouses, and more.

Fendi and Versace want you to show off your abs, while Tod's is advocating for wearing slouchy trousers with a matching trenchcoat.
