Welcome to the third stop on the fashion month tour: Milan. It's evident that each city has a different approach to street style during the month. In New York, head-to-toe leather ensembles were a go-to, London was all about the timeless trench coats and handbags, but Milan Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2020 street style has a certain aesthetic of its own. The past five days in the city proved that Italians (and those visiting temporarily) hold nothing back when it comes to fashion.

Milan is home to some of the biggest luxury powerhouses in the game: Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Max Mara, and Missoni to name a few. It's not unusual for show-goers to arrive sporting designs from each house at hand. Prada's abstract, bold printed items were worn by a handful of attendees, and influencers mixed and matched Missoni's iconic crochet-knitted prints. Other attendees criss-crossed through the streets in colorful tailored suits, bright puffer jackets, and monochromatic ensembles (green was a crowd-favorite). Generally, the attendees weren't shy of wild prints or bold hues — colors like hot pink and vivid turquoise were on full display.

But beyond just noting the trends on the street, many of the pieces worn by attendees are actually readily available for you to scoop up and make your own. Below, shop all the street style you loved during MFW.
