Paris vs. Milan Street Style: How People Dress Differently in Each City

Happy fashion month! I hope you've been enjoying our coverage as much as I have. So far, my colleagues have dissected the elite street-style looks from Milan, the London runway trends you need to know, the buzziest moments from NYC, and much more. As for me, I decided to do a little compare-and-contrast exercise with the newest street-style photos from Milan and Paris.
So how is the fashion set dressing differently in each city this season? For starters, Milan showgoers heavily favored baggy pants and jeans, while Paris attendees largely went with straighter-leg and more tailored styles. Scroll down to see examples of how the two cities differ right now.
