Best street style from the Milan men's spring/summer 2026 shows
In Milan, the fashion fleet has been brewing up quite the storm, first with Pitti Uomo and now with the men's spring/summer 2026 shows in full swing. Albeit a quieter season in comparison to its last (with JW Anderson skipping out in prep for his highly-anticipated Dior show in Paris), well-loved stalwarts like Dolce&Gabbana and Prada (from the famed duo Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons) have stirred up their own respective buzz in the Italian city.
The former took bedhead to a different place and sent models down with rumpled piped shirts and loose striped drawstring pants. As for the latter, a childlike innocence permeated the scene—with boat-neck knit sweaters, bloomer shorts-shorts and colourful T-shirts splashed out in graphics. If the start of the men's spring/summer 2026 is anything to go by, designers are streamlining things in their own language.
And what of the streets? Well, weather-considered, attendees have been stepping out in lighter, skin-baring silhouettes. Of Paul-Mescal-approved short-shorts, tank tops and plunging necklines, all to convey the effervescent spirit of summer. Amongst the crowd, famous faces have also naturally been spotted—congregating around the expected buzz of the Prada show. Think names like Overcompensating's Benito Skimmer, Harris Dickinson, EXO's Kai, Riz Ahmed, Twice's Sana and more.
Below, spy the best street style snaps from the men's spring/summer 2026 season in Milan by Acielle of StyleduMonde—with more to come.

Jonathan Anderson played with history for his first show at Dior
'For me, style is how you put things together. Over the next period, that's what I want to work on,' said Jonathan Anderson. For all the enormity of his taking of the reins at the house of Christian Dior—and despite his blizzard of wildly talked-about teasers and the pre-crush of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Sabrina Carpenter and all his celebrity and designer friends—the most convincing thing about his debut show was just how close-up and tangible he made it feel in reality. Anderson's plan was to get in with a visceral idea of what to wear with what, be it a Bar jacket with conceptual chino shorts, socks and 'school summer sandals,' a softly washed-out gray velvet morning jacket with a tonally similar pair of faded blue jeans or a full-on amazingly elaborate pre-revolutionary court or Louis 16th frock coat worn with ordinary black cotton trousers and brown suede high-top hiking boots. Wear this, should you fancy, with a high stock collar as an accessory, which Anderson got from looking at sketches by Romaine Brooks, a painter who documented lesbian life in the 1920s. This is the kind of high-low magic that Anderson transferred from his own brand to Loewe, and then used to revolutionise that LVMH label into a financially and critically successful phenomenon over a decade. Loewe didn't really have codes, though, so Anderson could start with a clean slate. With Dior it's very different; there's a long history to play on. 'The great thing about Dior is it being able to reinvent with each designer,' he said. 'I embrace that. Like Maria Grazia Chiuri's book bag. That is not my bag, but I can do something else with it.' Anderson's own agenda for Dior was emblematically set out in his use of Andy Warhol's photographs of the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and the socialite Lee Radziwill, Jackie Kennedy's sister. Two immensely stylish Americans 'from two different sides of the spectrum—who might've been at the same party,' as Anderson put it. Dior, he admitted, in a preview is 'ginormous,' a house which 'has to mean something to everyone.' In his first outing, he showed his adeptness at focussing on both detail and enormity at the same time. Outside, there was a stretched photograph of Christian Dior's original 1950s salon at the Avenue Montaigne covering the giant venue at the Invalides. Inside, the models walked up and down, close to the audience, so there could be no mistaking the quality or the detail of the clothes. 'This is how people saw couture in the original Dior salon, really close up,' said Anderson in a preview. 'I want people to be able to see the fabric and the make, whether it's the wash of a chino or the moire silk on a waistcoat.' On the dove-gray walls hung two small, priceless still-lifes by Chardin, the French past-master of the close contemplation of small things—a vase of flowers and a bowl of wild strawberries—painted sometime in the 1750s or 60s. Bringing important art into proximity with fashion people could be said to be one of Anderson's formulae. These borrowings, quieting as they are in content, were naturally also a power statement for LVMH, whose resources and influence can overcome the difficulty of borrowing from the Louvre (the strawberries) and the National Museum of Scotland (the flowers) for an hour's fashion show. In the collection, the direct parallels were Anderson's appropriations of 18th- and 19th- century French menswear. 'They are incredibly rare, but we found a collection of original waistcoats,' he explained. 'For me, and for all my generation, Margiela was God. So I thought: 'let's make them replicas.'' It was his route into showing the elevated patrimony of Dior's haute couture ateliers—the flower embroidery, the latticed gold buttons, the exact color of a mauve moire silk waistcoat. The closeness of the presentation meant one could gasp at the exquisite French quality of a pink faille waistcoat and practically sense the refinement of a silk evening scarf as it swished by. But Anderson wants to land all of that in reality, too: he'd thought about the idea of boys discovering those pieces 'in a trunk, and just pulling them on.' That worked, paced out as the show was with a long inventory of French-preppy items including colorful cable knit sweaters, normal summery jeans. Where was Jean-Michel Basquiat in this? Anderson had taken care to consult with Karen Binns, the late artist's close friend who was commissioned by Dior to curate a podcast on the 1980s in New York, featuring Hilton Als and the artist Toxic. Perhaps his innate knack of knotting a rep tie over a denim chambray shirt was present in the multiple tie segues? Ties on shirts are young fashion now. It worked: something multiple generations of Dior shoppers can safely agree on. And of course, Monsieur Dior himself had to be dealt with. Anderson took him head on in his first look. The Bar jacket was made from an Irish Donegal tweed—a matter of national pride for Anderson—which featured here and there throughout the collection. As for the side-looped flanges on the cargo shorts in that same look? Well, those came from Anderson's study of the stiff architecture of a Dior winter 1948 couture dress named Delft. 'It's old. It had flopped. That inspired me,' he said with a laugh, adding, 'I think it's a good bridge between history, commerce, history, style—and make.' Anderson is a very big gun now in the coming face-off between the three newly-placed 40-year-old creative directors who head the biggest labels. Matthieu Blazy at Chanel and Demna at Kering's Gucci we'll be seeing in September, when Anderson will also be showing his first womenswear for Dior. These are times when the stakes are high and the luxury market is more under fire than it has been for decades. Anderson isn't fazed. There was a gleam in his eye when he said, 'I think it's good the market is difficult, because it means it's ready to change. And I always work best under pressure.'

Newlyweds Bezos and Sanchez gear up for final party at Venice gala

The three-day gala, estimated to cost some $50 million, will culminate on Saturday evening with the closing party in a former medieval shipyard where Lady Gaga and Elton John are expected to perform. Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, exchanged rings on Friday evening on the small island of San Giorgio, across the water from Saint Mark's Square, accompanied by singing from Matteo Bocelli, son of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. The bride at the ceremony wore a high-necked silhouette dress and a tulle and lace veil by Dolce and Gabbana, which she told magazine Vogue was based on Sophia Loren's dress to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film Houseboat. Sanchez was also wearing a pair of diamond earrings by Dolce & Gabbana, which, according to Vogue, were lent to her in keeping with the tradition that it brings good luck for a bride to wear something borrowed. Bezos, who is No. 4 on Forbes' global billionaires list, donned a black tuxedo and bow tie over a white shirt. The ceremony had no legal status under Italian law, a senior city hall official told Reuters, suggesting the couple may have already legally wed in the United States, avoiding the bureaucracy associated with an Italian marriage. Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Jordan's Queen Rania, Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner and Kim and Khloe Kardashian, as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner and Domenico Dolce from Dolce & Gabbana were among the 200-250 guests. PROTEST SCHEDULED While the celebrities rub shoulders in the isolated halls in the east of the city, not far away activists will be protesting at what they see as Venice being gift-wrapped for ultra-rich outsiders. A protest march is planned at 5 p.m. (1500 GMT) on Saturday from the railway station to the Rialto Bridge. For days, members of the "No Space for Bezos" movement have been trying to spoil the party, hanging anti-Bezos banners on the iconic Rialto Bridge and laying out a huge canvas in central Saint Mark's Square telling the tech-tycoon to pay more taxes. While some residents and activists see Bezos's extravaganza as a symbol of inequality and arrogance, Venice's businesses and the city authorities have welcomed the event, claiming a major boost for the local economy. "Those who protest are in contradiction with the history of Venice, which is a history of relations, contacts and business," the city's mayor Luigi Brugnaro told Reuters in an interview. "Bezos embodies the Venetian mentality, he is more Venetian than the protesters," said centre-right mayor, adding that he hoped Bezos, who donated 3 million euros ($3.51 million) to local institutions, would return to the city to do business. Brugnaro said Bezos had attached no conditions to holding his wedding celebrations in Venice, and City Hall had only learned about his donations after they had already been made. Bezos, Amazon's executive chair, got engaged to Sanchez in 2023, four years after the collapse of his 25-year marriage to MacKenzie Scott.

Bezos and Sanchez head to wedding ceremony in star-studded Venice, World News
VENICE - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez left their luxury hotel on Venice's Grand Canal on Friday (June 27) to head to their wedding ceremony, the centrepiece of a three-day gala featuring dozens of stars but also protests by local activists. Sanchez, 55, waved and blew kisses to onlookers as she boarded a sleek motor boat outside the Aman hotel wearing short-sleeved, cream, fitted skirt suit, with shades and a head scarf to protect her from the blistering summer sun. Around two hours later Bezos, 61, wearing a black tuxedo and bow tie over a white shirt, made the same short trip across the lagoon to the small island of San Giorgio where the couple will exchange rings, accompanied by singing from Matteo Bocelli, son of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. The evening ceremony will have no legal status under Italian law, a senior city hall official told Reuters, suggesting the couple may have already legally wed in the United States, avoiding the bureaucracy associated with an Italian marriage. The festivities, estimated to cost around $50 million (S$63 million), culminate on Saturday with a party in a former medieval shipyard where media outlets say Lady Gaga and Elton John are set to perform. Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, the queen of Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner and Kim and Khloe Kardashian as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner and Domenico Dolce from Dolce & Gabbana are among the 200-250 guests. Amid tight security, there have been glimpses of the celebrities moving around town, the women in summer dresses and high heels stepping somewhat gingerly off boats ferrying them around the city's canals. Celebrations began on Thursday evening in the cloisters of Madonna dell'Orto, a medieval church in the central district of Cannaregio that hosts masterpieces by 16th-century painter Tintoretto. "This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories," the bride and groom said on their wedding invitation, in which they asked for "no gifts" and pledged charity donations for three Venetian institutions. Their donations are worth 3 million euros (S$4.4 million). Protest movement Businesses have welcomed the glitz and glamour but it is opposed by a local protest movement whose members resent what they see as Venice being gift-wrapped for ultra-rich outsiders. Bezos is No 4 on Forbes' global billionaires list. Giulia Cacopardo, a 28-year-old representative of the "No Space for Bezos" movement, complained that the needs of ordinary people were being neglected in a city that is a tourist magnet and fast depopulating largely due to the soaring cost of living. [[nid:719535]] Venice's city centre has less than 50,000 residents, compared to almost 100,000 in the late 1970s. "When you empty a city of its inhabitants, you can turn it into a stage for big events," Cacopardo told Reuters. "(But) the money that Bezos spends on this wedding does not end up in the pockets of Venetians. The owners of luxury hotels are not Venetians." Cacopardo was one of 30-40 activists who staged a protest in St Mark's Square on Thursday, chanting "We are the 99 per cent" as a masked couple posed as bride and groom and one man climbed a pole to unfurl a banner reading "The 1 per cent ruins the world". Police intervened, forcibly removing the protesters. The anti-Bezos front is planning a march on Saturday, and their activities have already led authorities to step up security and move the location of the closing party to a more secluded part of Venice, the Arsenale former shipyard. Charlotte Perkins, an Australian tourist, said she could understand the locals' resentment at their city being treated as a celebrity playground. "I'd probably feel the same if I lived here," she said. But politicians, hoteliers and some other Venice residents are happy about the wedding, saying such events do more to support the local economy than the multitudes of day-trippers who normally overrun the city. "We are happy and honoured to welcome Jeff Bezos and his consort Lauren Sanchez," said Mayor Luigi Brugnaro, who sent white roses to the bride and a maxi-bottle of Amarone luxury red wine to the groom. A study by Italy's tourism ministry estimated the overall economic impact of the wedding at 957 million euros, with an 896 million euro boost from "media visibility", and the rest coming from direct or indirect spending related to the event. Bezos, Amazon's executive chair, got engaged to Sanchez in 2023, four years after the collapse of his 25-year marriage to MacKenzie Scott.
