Three (out of four) of fashion’s chicest weeks have come and gone with the sartorial takeaway loud and clear: transitional style staples are on the minds (and in the shopping carts!) of the industry’s most notable insiders. The fall/winter 2025 collections showing in Milan last week ushered in attendees from all over, most of whom were spotted in prized mid-season pieces, like flashy leopard-print outerwear, classic chore coats with a twist, statement-making midiskirts, hero handbags, and more. For us keeping a close eye on both the runways and the goings-on outside, this sartorial inspiration comes at an opportune time given how finicky early-March weather can be. One day you can expect a biting chill in the air where wintry mixes fall down with fervor and a shearling coat is a non-negotiable, and the next, temperatures will rise to a balmy 40°F, calling for a slouchy leather bomber jacket and a pair of preppy driving loafers. (No wool socks necessary!)
