While London Fashion Week embraced the traditional simplicity of the trench coat and demure skirt suiting, Milan was about a fresh start, with head-to-toe white and full-throttle biker leathers ruling the Italian catwalks.
Here’s your recap of Milan Fashion Week’s biggest trends for autumn/winter 2019:
The trend: Head-to-toe white
Where we’ve seen it: Alberta Ferretti, Jil Sander, Max Mara

What you need to know: If spring/summer 2019’s beige trend is already upping your dry-cleaning bill, autumn/winter doesn’t offer much respite, with floor-sweeping trousers and coats cast in pristine white. Think of Milan’s new love affair with head-to-toe white as your wardrobe’s fresh start.
How to wear it now: Start by switching the black knit for a chalky cashmere style to ease yourself in. Also: Reconsider ordering red wine at dinner.
The trend: Dramatic capes
Where we’ve seen it: Prada, Etro, Salvatore Ferragamo

What you need to know: Fashion is obsessing over theatrical silhouettes right now (the puffball dresses on LFW’s catwalks were case in point). The influence can be seen in outerwear, where the sweeping cape—featuring detailed embroidery, fringing and showstopping shades—guarantees a dramatic entrance during daylight hours.
How to wear it now: Not ready to invest? Try throwing a large blanket scarf over your shoulders (as seen at Etro) and fix in place with a slim leather belt.
The trend: Luxe leather
Where we’ve seen it: Bottega Veneta, Marni, Tod’s

What you need to know: Fashion editors are currently fawning over the roomy, ultra-luxe leather that marked Daniel Lee’s ready-to-wear debut at Bottega Veneta, and rightly so. Lee graduated from Phoebe Philo’s Céline design studio to show a covetable selection of sculpted leather dresses, sumptuous trousers and a standout motorcycle jacket for the prestigious Italian house. Elsewhere, Marni styled inky leather into full-length shirts (with pyjama-style piping); while Tod’s did butter-soft panelled day dresses.
How to wear it now: Shop for a vintage motocross jacket to pair with the straight leg leather trousers you already own. Set the alarm for an hour later on weekends and lose the smoky eyeliner—this time around rebellious full-look leather has a fresh-faced (rather than an up-all-night) feel.
The trend: Remixed grey suiting
Where we’ve seen it: Fendi, Prada, Marni

What you need to know: The stately grey suit has returned, but this season it’s mixing business with pleasure. At Prada, the look was styled with pavement-pounding fuchsia boots; while Salvatore Ferragamo’s smoke-grey suiting elevated the dressing-gown jacket.
How to wear it now: Grey needn’t mean dull. Consider switching your faithful black blazer for a winter-sky grey, and enliven the look with bright neon accessories.
The trend: Grunge renaissance
Where we’ve seen it: Agnona, Prada, Marni

What you need to know: Faded plaid checks and snuggly beanies made a catwalk appearance at Agnona—a show that will persuade you back into socks and sandals for autumn 2019. Prada, on the other hand, opted for a high-tech twist on Nineties grunge, meshing sheer lace with slouchy, striped sweaters.
How to wear it now: Luxe references to the grunge era can work in the office and after dark. Take a cue from Marni and slip a checked cocoon coat over a silk evening dress or sober tailoring for a nod to the new slouchy silhouette. Now is also the perfect moment to give a lace dress extra mileage by styling a striped tee below.
