It’s a new year and old notions of gendered fashion are firmly in the past. The proof is not only in the runways, but also in the clothes worn by guests outside. Recent fashion showgoers in Milan and Paris have taken a lively approach to dressing. They mix traditional staples with unisex accessories.
Monochrome is a big trend this season. It’s best seen in an all-ivory ensemble from Milan. In a palette of off-white neutrals paired with charming accessories, it’s a look that anyone, man or woman, would be happy to sport this season. Statement scarves were big in Paris. Milan has the answer to your question about how to wear a sequined blouse during the day. Style it under a relaxed white blouse with a short sleeves and paired with loose trousers.
Below are five styling tips that were spotted at the menswear show to inspire your next outfit.
It’s Ok To Mix Accessories From Different Seasons
There’s no rule against wearing shearling shoes with seashell necklaces; in fact, the opposing summer-winter accessories work together surprisingly well. Plus, you’ll get more wear out of those season-forward pieces so long as you think of them as seasonless.

It’s Time to Shine
While the women’s resort shows made the case for feathers for day, this men’s street style look makes a convincing case for sequins. This top is perfect for daywear, as it can be paired with staples such as button-up shirts and Chelsea boots. Layering a shimmering top underneath knitwear is another option.
