The Best and Worst Street Style From Milan Men’s Shows
Photo: YoungJun Koo/I’M KOO
While the streets at Pitti Uomo were awash with self-serious men in dapper suits (and capes), the Milan crowd turned out to be a bit more playful and eccentric — at times, downright absurd. Showgoers came out in everything from fake beards to “furkenstocks” (paired with some sad-looking toes); others opted for skinny scarves and nonsensically placed pockets. A particularly well-postured man on a Vespa channeled a character from a Wes Anderson film, another man wore three ties at once, and Anna Dello Russo took a break from her oversize furs to go full-on Ladies of the Canyon. Click through the slideshow for all these and more street-style highlights from Milan, including great hair, great shearling, and great Saint Laurent.
