Paris vs. Milan Street Style: How People Dress Differently in Each City

Happy fashion month! I hope you've been enjoying our coverage as much as I have. So far, my colleagues have dissected the elite street-style looks from Milan, the London runway trends you need to know, the buzziest moments from NYC, and much more. As for me, I decided to do a little compare-and-contrast exercise with the newest street-style photos from Milan and Paris.
So how is the fashion set dressing differently in each city this season? For starters, Milan showgoers heavily favored baggy pants and jeans, while Paris attendees largely went with straighter-leg and more tailored styles. Scroll down to see examples of how the two cities differ right now.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
