While most Milanese might be tempted to stay indoors to avoid winter's biting chill, the city's fashion set are out in force this week. After all, Milan is playing host to Men's Fashion Week, which means there's plenty of new-ness to be observed on the runway courtesy of Prada, Giorgio Armani, Phillip Plein, and more. Here at RUSSH, however, we've always had an equally eager interest in what's being worn off the runway, as the city's most stylish spill onto the streets in between shows. So what have we gleaned from Men's Fashion Week FW25 in Milan as far as street style is concerned?

Naturally, layers have reigned supreme, by way of enveloping coats, creative headwear — think: beanies, cowboy hats, baseball caps, and even a newspaper-style hat — and expertly-wrapped scarves. Interestingly, while winter might typically be synonymous with more muted hues, showgoers haven't been afraid to play with colour this week, adding a pop of cerulean here, or a splash of cherry red there. Both men and women have shown a particular affinity for tailoring, with ties and suiting a favourite across the board this week. Whether it's oversized silhouettes or more fitted cuts, sharp tailoring has been one of the strongest themes on the streets, with many opting for long, duster-style coats layered over tailored trousers.

Accessories have also played a crucial role in elevating looks, with bold bags (typically adorned with bag charms), statement footwear, and chunky jewellery adding extra flair to everyday outfits. Beyond the sartorial choices themselves, street style has embraced a playful, almost eclectic mix of textures and materials — from sleek leather to plush wool, and even bold metallic finishes, there’s a sense of experimentation in the air. Milanese men and women have shown they’re not afraid to take fashion risks, pairing contrasting textures and styles with confidence.

Below, prep for winter with our round-up of the most memorable street style from Milan Men's Fashion Week FW25 so far.
