Today's Style Trends: Milan Fashion Week Review

Milan fashion week has come to a close and its designers did not disappoint. Although there were many trends this season that popped out from each show, such as loose silhouettes, leather, monochrome, bold graphic prints, stripes, structured coats, and the classic spring floral, each show was very much suited to the modern Italian woman. From Dolce & Gabbana's Roman inspired evening looks to Missoni's everyday bold dresses, these designers gave us much to think about this upcoming season. Fashion week, unfortunately, is almost over, but be on the lookout for the trends in each show below!
