So far on the fashion month tour, you’ve seen the adventurous ensembles sported on editors and influencers in New York as well as the elegant-meets-punk vibe that London is known for (hello, trench coats and chunky boots). Now, things are really heating up. Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2022 has begun, and outside the shows, the street style is offering eclectic, head-turning outfit inspiration.

The Italian fashion capital sets itself apart from the rest, thanks to iconic names like Prada, Fendi, and Gucci that are headquartered in the city. On top of these heavy hitters, there are also plenty of up-and-coming labels who call the city home, such as Sunnei and Arthur Arbesser. Therefore, it’s no surprise that residents are known for their love of bright colors, dramatic silhouettes, and funky prints (usually effortlessly styled altogether, of course).

Day one started off strong, with designers like Fendi, Jil Sander, and Alberta Ferretti showing their collections. Attendees arrived in some of this season’s biggest trends — think: cropped cardigans, platform boots, and sweater vests. But like Italian girls do best, they gave their own unique take on these buzzy styles. As for the rest of the week, labels like Missoni, Marni, and Versace are on the docket, so prepare for some exquisite ensembles at the shows.

Below, turn your attention to the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer outfits captured by photographer Jonathan Paciullo. As always, don’t forget to keep checking back, because the shows run until September 26.
