The ‘preppy’ prediction for the SS25 womenswear collections was fully realized for menswear during Milan’s Fashion Week. Several of the major designers were clearly influenced by the current obsession with #ralphcore and the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.
The runways were teeming with soft linen shorts suits, knit polos and striped sweaters, in a color palette ranging from white and cream to neutrals and brights. Fendi celebrated its one hundredth year with a new house crest and a nod towards British club sports such as cricket and rugby. At MSGM, Massimo Giorgetti marked 15 years of business with a collection inspired by a childhood spent in a seaside town. This included marine references such as striped sweaters and tee-shirts, sailor pants and bucket hats. Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada added an extra dimension to their preppy looks with trompe l'oeil details (painted-on belts) and optical illusions (single garments that appeared to be layers). Here are ten runway looks from MFW SS25 that hit the right preppy note.
