Of all the basics in the world, tank tops proved to be the one worth investing in on the streets of Milan this week. To Prada and Max Mara, showgoers skipped maximalist silhouettes and instead opted for the sleeveless staple, styling it up with lavish skirts and coats.

Skirts are no doubt having a moment, from pencil silhouettes to drapey, maxi ones. That being said, one style has time and again proven to be the greatest of them all in 2023: A-line skirts. Shout-out to Prada, Miu Miu, and Dior for bringing the '50s-era bottoms to the forefront and making every fashion person desire volume over anything that even comes close to the body.

The peekaboo-collar trend is more of a styling hack than a specific item that's trending. You can really pull it off with any collared shirt in your closet. That being said, attendees at the Prada show proved that the best way to maneuver the buzzy new look is with a bit of color-blocking. In other words, double up on your point-collared tops and let them pop out above your outerwear.

Suede for fall? Shocking. But unlike most of the suede pieces that we come to expect in autumn, the styles spotted in Milan felt shockingly fresh and elevated, no doubt the result of Prada's heavy use of the fabric in its F/W 23 collection.

It was Who What Wear's editor in chief, Kat Collings, who, in one of our Slack groups dedicated to upcoming trends, first called out the Grecian statuesque pieces that appeared to be dominating runways and the streets outside of them. But it wasn't until I spotted a handful of delicately draped gowns on day one of Milan Fashion Week that I became wholly convinced of this trend's wearability.

Is there a such thing as a casual train? Well, if Milan street style has any say in the matter, then yes, there is a such thing, and it's a perfectly acceptable daytime styling choice. My pick for actually wearing it? Staud's Prunella midi skirt, which has a detachable train that's perfect for those days when you want to be a tad extra. On those more minimalist days, however, the train can simply be removed and you're left with a tailored midi.
