Live From... Milan Fashion Week, Day 2

Emporio Armani

Urban casual

Relaxed but masculine

Key items: Full pants with double-dart volume are cut short at the ankle and worn with unstructured jackets with a softly sloping shoulderline; shackets, zip-through shirts, semi-sheer shirts and skintight T-shirts are layered under double-zip biker jackets or lightweight coated rain macs and parkas; tailored 1SB jackets are casual but cut close to the body and worn with bib-front shirts with stand-up collars

Colour: Cityscape greys, titanium blue, steely silver, chalky neutrals, ink and navy blues with black

Fabric & knit:
Washed leather, waterproofed cotton, silk, gauzy semi-sheer shirting, linen, grey denim, chambray, light summer wool suitings, subtle plaids, micro houndstooth
