Italian Girls Say This Hair Color Is Still On Top For Another Season


Classics never go out of style. No one understands the truth this saying holds quite like Milan’s fashion crowd. Voluminous bouncy blowouts, sharp cat-eye liner, perfectly-painted red lips. Yes, the city’s most stylish women typically follow this approach when building their outfits and their corresponding hairstyles, makeup, and manicures. But can you blame them? Why chase a trend cycle fueled by temperamental social media algorithms when the Italian glamour of icons like Sophia Loren and Monica Bellucci is programmed into your DNA. However, that’s not to say Italian girls completely ignore current aesthetics. Instead, they make of-the-moment lip shades or hair colors and make them their own. Let the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 street style beauty looks serve as your reference material.

A few years after the great middle part vs. side part debate peaked on TikTok, the Milanese are endorsing the former by incorporating it into slicked-back updos and their voluminous bombshell blowouts. Fall-friendly vampy lips are also proving to be popular, but instead of sticking to basic oxblood, street style stars are giving moodier shades a spin. When paired with minimal base makeup and neat updos, black and plum lipstick is incredibly chic and timeless.

As the MFW S/S’25 are in full-swing, keep scrolling to see all of the Italian glamour oozing from the city’s street style scene.
