The runway might set the tone for what’s to come, but the streets tell the story of how fashion is lived. Across Milan and Paris this season, showgoers, industry insiders, and off-duty models turned the city streets into their own runways, showcasing a dynamic mix of timeless luxury, bold individuality, and effortless cool.
Milan, true to its roots, leaned into a refined elegance with an edge—polished tailoring met unexpected textures, while classic designer staples were reimagined with modern ease. Meanwhile, Paris continued to push the boundaries of personal style, seamlessly blending heritage with experimentation. The interplay between structured minimalism and exaggerated proportions emerged as a defining theme, with oversized outerwear, sculptural accessories, and the occasional playful nod to surrealism capturing attention.
As always, our photographers were on the scene to capture every standout look, offering an up-close look at the personalities shaping the global fashion conversation. Here are The Impression’s picks for the best street style moments of the Fall 2025 season in Milan and Paris.
