Celebrities – from Uma Thurman to Monica Belucci, lined runway shows in Milan, at a point in time where complex issues in the global market and the fashion industry (not to mention a war) proved, shall we say, somewhat challenging.
Despite all that, designers tackled these issues with renewed creativity and ingenuity.
Monochromatic black – for reasons we can only speculate about – was the preferred (non) shade of choice for most, and seen through a dark lens, the beauty of these offerings was amplified, albeit somewhat muted.
Having said that, there were also many joyous flashes of colour in the collections.
This has been a thought-provoking season where brands and designers put their money where their mouths are, making a vocal statement not only about the state of fashion, but also that of the world.
We invite you to sit back and enjoy our picks from the Big Five in Italian fashion.

PRADA

Queen of minimalist layering, Miuccia Prada, stuck to her guns and delivered a story that is as intellectual, complex, perplexing and thought-provoking as it is pure joy.
Miuccia Prada explained that the idea was to illustrate “the complexity of layering … complexity, which exists in sentiment, in politics, in life, and that reflects in clothes. It’s about the necessity of changing for living all day. Different personalities, sentiments, sexualities, and this woman lives them together in a day or a life.” Raf Simons added that “It’s also how you dress, the clothes that you decide to have, how you decide to dress. What is possible? There’s another way and another way.”
Unlike the scores of models that brands of Prada’s stature would typically employ, Ms Prada and co-creative director Raf Simon deliberately reduced the cast to only 15.
Each model appeared four times, each time wearing a paired-down version of what came before, to illustrate the art of adaptation, of adding and taking away.
Gorgeous Palastinian-American supermodel Bella Hadid, for example, wore layers that got stripped away with each look, to respectively reveal a canvas jacket, a black coat, a white dress and sporty shorts. Her floral knee-high socks and pointy kitten heels remained a constant across each look.
Every look became a revelation. For example, a chunky jumper gave way to a body-hugging hourglass dress and a black frock revealed a knitted green sweater and pencil skirt.
The concept of layering was thoroughly explored: how we adapt to different situations by adding or subtracting a layer of clothing, how we vary the different layers for the many and varied roles we play every day and how we sometimes challenge ourselves by dressing outside of our comfort zone by means of addition or subtraction.
The ultimate cerebral designer, Miuccia Prada yet again left us pondering, musing and fantasising.
It may well be this uncanny quality of never taking fashion too seriously, of elevating everyday items of clothing to designer objects (it was the humble apron and workwear last season) that makes Prada the brand that is as generic and synonymous with Italian high fashion as the Duomo is to Milan.

DOLCE & GABBANA
Watch Dolce & Gabbana’s Show here: https://milanofashionweek.cameramoda.it/en/brand/13295
It was Fashion Noir at Dolce & Gabbana, a virtually all-black display of signature Dolce & Gabbana elements from over the past decades.
The offering shouted one thing above all: glamour!
A collection called ‘Identity’ delivered just that: beautifully tailored coats, jackets, transparent organza dresses, lace dresses and tops, all fashioned in the ultimate classic Dolce & Gabbana ‘non-colour’, black.
Visions of the signature Dolce & Gabbana icon, the irresistibly sensual Sicilian widow, inadvertently sprang to mind.
Floral puff sleeved frou-frou dresses, dramatic 1940s-inspired, nipped-in-the-waist pinstripe suits, leather coats with all-fur bodices and sleeves, and chevron-striped black-and-white faux fur coats rubbed shoulders with the flimsiest of transparent lacy skirts and satin petticoats.
Accessories like shawls and cute little mid-calf socks accompanied lace-up brogues and killer stilettos, to seriously seductive effect.
Chantilly lace, polka dots, the classic white satin shirt, underwear worn as outerwear, head scarves and the ultimate vixen accessory, pillar box red lips, added to the unmistakable Dolce & Gabbana look that we’ve come to know and love since 1989, when Dolce & Gabbana launched their iconic label.
Little has indeed changed over the decades. A look this strong and confident matures with grace and sensuality, just like the archetypal Dolce & Gabbana woman.

GUCCI
A collection aptly named “Primavera’ (Spring) was eagerly awaited by Gucci fans in Milan.
The brand had already undergone a few metamorphoses over the past decades, this time under the creative directorship of Demna, who stated, “above the product, Gucci is culture, it is a way of thinking and a way of being.”
As it stands, Gucci is that brand that everybody literally holds their breath for in eager anticipation of the new direction arguably the hippest of Italian brands will have embarked upon for the next season.
In previous seasons, Gucci’s brave eclecticism, grunge and retro vogue had been effortlessly married to classic Gucci elements (a sporty Adidas track top worn over a ballgown, for example). This sent us straight to our own closets to rediscover what’s lurking there and waiting to be upgraded with a purchase of new Gucci bag or embellished blazer.
Fall 2026/7 was a fun and energetic show, filled with exceedingly chiselled models ranging from the super slim to the totally buffed (who, in all fairness, would have looked stunning in a black PVC bin bag)!
A seemingly seamless, clingy white slip dress opened the show. Fur in all shapes and renditions, metallics, denim, leather, florals and animal prints clothed a bevy of extraordinary models, each evidently picked to portray a facet of the archetypal Gucci wearer.
The offering of a whopping 83 looks varied from ultra-sexy close-cut trousers, body-hugging dresses and super-tight jeans and slacks to more relaxed sportwear leggings and track pants worn underneath trench coats. There was even a romantic floral day dress in the mix!
The collection seems to have catered for the entire spectrum of Gucci lovers – provided you’re super slim and/or ultra-fit.

MOSCHINO
Maverick Italian brand Moschino, known for their epic story-telling collections, did just that again.
Creative director Adrian Appiolaza, gave a nod to his heritage and motherland of Argentina, but it was definitely not a case of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina!’! A T-shirt depicted Eva Peron and a sack full of churros hinted at Argentina, but a whole host of different characters and references also made an appearance on Appiolaza’s stage.
From dancers doing the tango to a bus driver, football fans and well-to-do society ladies – all were kitted out in quirky Moschino fashion.
Just like the founder of a brand that is so intimately synonymous with Italy, Franco Moschino (who was greatly inspired by his partner’s Spanish heritage – hence the oversized hoop earrings and polka dots that became a Moschino signature), Appiolaza also drew references from afar.
From the Olive Oyl cartoon character to the typical banker in a suit, a full repertoire of characters were on display, wearing from raw denim and patchwork frocks, wool dresses, quilted skirts and puffer jackets to South-American-inspired shawls, frills and indigenous weaves.
“The ethos of Moschino stems from joy, so I didn’t want to lose (that) sentiment. But I wanted to be also conscientious of the times that we live in,’’ the creative director stated.
A thought-provoking moment was engineered right at the end of the show when a model appeared with a globe-shaped handbag, a throwback to Franco Moschino’s archives, ‘Save Our Sphere’.
The tone of the show was as playful as ever, but a serious undertone came through loud and clear. Black confetti that rained down ominously during the finale and Appiolaza’s farewell bow saw him wearing a T-shirt that read, “Don’t be Silent”.

ROBERTO CAVALLI
Known over the decades for its glamorous, colourful silk chiffon animal prints, Roberto Cavalli, like many other brands, responded to the world around us for Fall 2026/7.
Creative director Fausto Puglisi had gone sombre – black, mostly, to be exact. “This time I wanted to design a collection that was New Romantic and dark. But this kind of dark is very festive, sensual feminine — and tough. You can still see Cavalli through the texture. You can see every Cavalli detail through this dark lens,” said Puglisi.
Every iteration of black was included in the offering, together with a few diversions into colour (which we’ve deliberately pounced on and illustrated below for the sake of old-times cheerfulness).
A dark filter had been placed over the previously colourful florals, just like the dark cloud hanging over the current world. Even the joyous animal prints had been muted.
Here and there a bit of brightness managed to peek out – the bell sleeves and frilled hems of the tiered dressed were dipped in some colour, with sleeves covering models’ hands, reminiscent of Morticia Adams in The Adams Family.
Grey – from dove grey to charcoal – was one of the ‘least black’ shades on display. Phew!
As for shapes – voluminous trousers, tutu skirts, sequinned mini-dresses, biker’s jackets and body-hugging flamenco-style ballgowns echoed the signature sexy Roberto Cavalli silhouettes.
Fashion is pure social commentary. It’s as clear as day that designers like Puglisi are using their brands and platforms to do just that.

Best Biker Western Jackets for Men 2026: Rugged & Iconic Styles
There are certain things in a man’s wardrobe that are very necessary and it is a good pair of boots, a watch and a leather jacket that look classy and luxurious. The last one, though, is where most men get lost. Not because there aren’t enough options but because there are too many options available. If you’ve been looking for the Western biker jacket outfit for men and you’re tired of jackets that look great in photos but feel very low quality in real life then this blog is for you. Because in this blog, I’ll tell you all about the best western jackets that are made from real leather and trust me it will get better every year you wear it.
How to Get a Leather Jacket That Will Last
Before getting into specific picks, it helps to know what to look for. A lot of men buy one leather jacket, regret it and never try again. So, if you don’t want to experience the same thing then make sure to follow these instructions.
- Leather quality matters most. Full grain is the top tier: it hasn’t been sanded down, so it’s stronger, breathable and develops a natural patina over time. Top grain is slightly more refined with a smoother and more uniform finish that some prefer. What to avoid is anything labeled simply as genuine leather; that term often refers to the lowest quality cut.
- Hardware is another giveaway. Cheap zippers can cause problems quickly. So try to look for YKK zippers or solid metal hardware with some weight.
- The fit. A biker western jacket is meant to sit close. The shoulder seam should sit right at the edge of your shoulder not drooping past it. Sleeves should cover your wrists when your arms are extended but shouldn’t bunch at the cuffs. Through the chest you need enough room to zip up comfortably without any pulling.
- Lining. Viscose lining is breathable and makes the jacket easy to slip on and off. Quilted polyester on the other hand adds extra warmth. For an all season piece, viscose is usually the better choice unless you’re buying specifically for colder weather.
The Best Biker Western Jackets for Men at The Western Outfitters
At the Western Outfitters, we have so many designs available but to make things easier for you here are the top five western jackets from our collection.
Rodio Black Biker Leather Jacket

The Rodio is the kind of jacket that doesn’t announce itself. It’s matte black, clean in its lines and confident without doing anything unnecessary. There’s no excess hardware, no decorative stitching that doesn’t belong and no attempt to be more than it is.
Black leather in this cut never reads as a trend. It read as classic in 1965, it reads as classic now and it will read the same way long after. The asymmetric front zip cuts across the chest at the right angle and the lapels have enough width to look proportional without feeling dated.
This Rodio Black Moto Jacket you just throw on without overthinking it. Dark jeans, a plain white or grey T-shirt and lace up leather boots that’s all you need.
When it gets colder, it also works well layered over a light sweatshirt without losing its shape. The kind of man who wears this doesn’t need to wonder if it fits his wardrobe. Trust me, it just does.
Vince Black Leather Jacket

The Vince has a slightly more European sensibility than the Rodio. Where the Rodio leans into a traditional biker silhouette, the Vince is cleaner and more balanced with softer lines and less fancy hardware. That makes it one of the most versatile jackets in our collection.
It’s the kind of piece a man in his late 30s or 40s might reach for when he wants a leather jacket without feeling like he’s copying a Hollywood character. The moto influence is still there but it still looks very subtle and modern.
Worn over a collared shirt with dark chinos and Chelsea boots, it easily fits into a smart-casual look. It also works with the usual jeans and a shirt combination so if you need something for the evening meetup the Vince is probably the most practical option here.
Cafe Racer Gold Leather Jacket

Gold leather isn’t a subtle choice but still the design is clean and minimal, letting the color take centre stage without unnecessary detailing getting in the way.
The cafe racer style itself has a well-documented history. It came out of post-war Britain in the 1960s, when young riders on Triumphs and Nortons would race between cafes at speeds well over 90 mph. They needed gear that was aerodynamic and minimal. No extra buckles, no wide lapels, nothing to catch the wind. The result was a jacket defined by its band collar, center-front zip and close fit. That design hasn’t changed much because it didn’t need to.
In gold leather, that minimal structure becomes something else entirely. The stand collar and centered zip keep it sharp and the warm gold tone gives the whole jacket a presence that black simply cannot match. Wear it over an all black base and let it do the talking black slim jeans, black boots, black T-shirt. The jacket becomes the focal point which is exactly how it’s meant to be worn. This isn’t a piece for blending in and anyone buying it should know that from the start.
Performance Leather Moto Jacket

The name here is accurate. This jacket is designed with riding in mind so the cut isn’t just about how it looks when you’re standing still. Performance Black Moto Jackets typically feature slightly longer sleeves and a tapered chest to stop the fabric bunching when you’re leaning forward over the handlebars. Off the bike, that same design gives it a sharp athletic look.
The functional details matter here too. A jacket built for actual performance tends to have good shoulder and elbow points, solid zippered pockets that won’t fly open at speed and a lining that manages temperature reasonably well across changing conditions. These aren’t features invented for marketing. They come from real riding requirements and they translate directly into a better everyday jacket.
If you ride, this is the pick that works both on and off the motorcycle without compromise. If you don’t ride but still value a jacket designed with purpose rather than just looks, this one fits that mindset. Pair it with riding-cut jeans, sturdy boots and keep everything else simple.
Men’s Leather Moto Jacket

Of all the jackets here, this one may be the best entry point for a man buying his first motorcycle biker leather jacket. The moto cut is reliable. It works across body types, wears in well over time and doesn’t ask too much of you when it comes to styling.
Real leather has a quality that’s worth understanding before you buy. It doesn’t arrive perfect. On the first wear it might feel a little stiff, a little formal, almost too much. But leather breaks in with your body. After a few months it softens to your shoulders, your arms and the way you move. It starts to crease at your natural flex points and picks up a patina specific to how and where you’ve lived in it. That process is the whole point. You can’t replicate it artificially and you can’t speed it up. You just have to wear it.
This jacket is three outfits in one. Jeans and a tee for the weekend. Chinos and a collared shirt for something more put-together. All-black with boots for evenings out. The versatility isn’t a marketing claim. It’s just what happens when a well made moto jacket gets worn consistently by someone who’s figured out what they like.
Conclusion
The best biker western jackets for men are not complicated purchases once you know what you’re looking at. Good leather, solid hardware, honest construction and a cut that fits your body and your life. The five jackets above suit different personalities and needs but they all share the same core fundamentals.
Whether you choose the clean versatility of the Rodio, the adaptable Vince, the bold Gold Cafe Racer, the purpose built Performance Moto or the reliable Men’s Leather Moto Jacket, you’re investing in something built to last for years. Make sure to check the full collection at The Western Outfitters and find the one that fits
FAQ
What makes a biker western jacket different from a regular leather jacket?
A biker western jacket blends the asymmetric zip and snap collar of a classic biker jacket with western style details and it creates a versatile piece that works just as well in the city as it does in more rugged, outdoor settings.
How can I tell if a leather jacket is high quality?
Start with the leather itself, full-grain or top-grain is the best. Check the hardware too; solid fittings like YKK zippers are a good sign. Look for double-stitched seams and a lining that matches your climate. Fit matters as well; good leather should feel flexible and improve with wear, developing character over time.
Which biker western jacket is best for everyday wear?
The Rodio or Men’s Leather Moto Jacket are strong everyday option. Both offer a clean, versatile design with durable leather that pairs easily with jeans, chinos or even smarter casual outfits.

Amazon Sundays: The Patio Edit
We changed the clocks a few weeks ago, and with warmer nights settling in, dinner outside has started to feel like part of the routine. It’s the kind of shift that makes you look at your space a little differently—what you reach for, what’s missing, and what would make it more inviting to use.
This edit focuses on pieces that build out that setting in a practical way. Bench seating and bistro sets to anchor the space, paired with striped cushions and woven placemats. Acrylic pitchers, tumblers, and colorful glassware bring in durability while still adding color to the table. Melamine plates and speckled serving bowls keep things easy for outdoor use, while rechargeable lamps and string lights carry the space from early evenings into night. Trays, lanterns, and a few finishing details round out the setup.
Below, a selection of outdoor pieces designed for long dinners, slow afternoons, and time spent outside.

April Forecast – Julia Berolzheimer
Spring is flying by, but this is one of my favorite times to be in Charleston. It’s hard not to feel inspired when you walk outside and everything is blooming. The jasmine, the wisteria, the azaleas lining every street. We’ve been spending so much time outdoors, on our bikes, lingering at the park after school. The whole season makes you want to slow down and soak it all in.
This month’s forecast is a full one: Easter at home with family, spring break in the Bahamas, a gala I’ve been looking forward to for months, and two collaborations in the works. Here’s everything on my radar for April.
What We’re Doing
- Easter weekend. We’ve already done a handful of egg hunts, but the big day will be spent at home having brunch with our family. I’m excited for the girls to open this and this.
- My Easter table. I’m a bit obsessed with the Summerhill & Bishop x John Derian tablecloth I ended up buying. I covered it in my Wolfe bunnies and new La Tuile Loup plates — a tablescape that makes you want to linger over coffee long after the meal is done. I’ll be wearing this dress.
- Spring break plans. Next week we’re heading to the Bahamas with friends. We’ll be staying at the new Potlatch Club designed by Amanda Lindroth. Her aesthetic is everything I gravitate toward — fresh, island-chic, effortlessly elegant.
- JB x Margaux restock coming. Thank you all for the incredible support on our JB x Margaux collection! It was a huge success, with many styles selling out within the first few days. The Margaux team was able to place a re-order, so stay tuned for a restock.
- Our second collaboration of the year. We have another launch coming at the end of April — our fourth collection with Jennifer Behr. This one takes all of our best sellers and gives them new life for spring. Can’t wait to share more.
- A gala with a dream brand. I’m heading to a gala mid-month with a brand I’ve admired for years. I get to be dressed by them, which feels like a pinch-me moment. More to come.
- This month’s book. I set a goal this year of one book a month. Last month I read Strangers, and this month we’re lightening the mood with my friend Chassity’s debut novel, Pink Sand Summer. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait to dig into this one over spring break.
What I’m Wearing
- An Ulla Johnson denim jacket on repeat. I’ve been wearing this denim jacket constantly. It’s such a great staple, and I love the peplum hem — an unexpected detail that elevates the whole piece.
- A Zimmermann rainbow skirt I keep reaching for. This rainbow skirt has been in heavy rotation. I’ve had it styled with a favorite cream tee and the denim jacket above, paired with my Margaux mules. Easy, polished, done.
- R13 paisley jeans, again. I mentioned the R13 paisley jeans in my whims last week, but they’re too good not to bring up again. (More sizes here.)
- J.Crew linen pants that look expensive. I recently got these linen pants in the “sandy hay” color and they are: 1) so chic on, and 2) look far more expensive than their under-$90 price tag. I wore them traveling to NYC here.
- What I’m packing for spring break: This fringe crochet top, this kaftan, this pareo with the matching bikini, this embroidered bucket hat, and denim shorts I actually love.
What I’m Buying
- Hill House’s “Corsica” capsule. I love the paisley prints in reds and blues — it feels very Mediterranean summer. I picked up this swimsuit, and this mini dress was a close second.
- Merlette in soft pink and chartreuse. They have such a beautiful collection right now. I love this dress, which I’ve had in the past in different colors, along with the skirt and top.
- A long Tory Burch shell necklace. This one caught my eye immediately.
- Julietta’s spring collection. She’s at it again with a fantastic lineup. My favorites: these nautilus earrings, this onyx shell necklace, and this shell and tassel necklace. All perfect to wear with something like this Zimmermann dress.
- Eres, always. It’s the Hermès of swimwear. I have a handful of classic one-pieces and bikinis I wear year after year, but this season they got me with a chic coverup set you could easily dress up for dinner: the top and the pants.
- Chiffon red pants by Alix of Bohemia. These are stunning.
- A fringe jacket having a moment. I’m very into this Hayley Menzies one. The print is beautiful, and there are even matching jeans.
What I’m Eyeing
- Prada’s oversized crochet raffia tote. I’m drawn to this one — the scale is just right, statement-making without trying too hard.
- A new artist discovery. I save so much art constantly. A recent Instagram find — this video — led me to Yeon Kyung Park. I love her work.
- New hurricanes on Moda. These are beautiful — I want one of each color.
- A Fendi scarf. This Gardening scarf has been on my mind.
- Cordera beaded bags. I love them. Two new styles are available to pre-order here and here.
- Martin Brudnizki’s book. If you’re as taken with his taste as I am, his book is a constant source of inspiration.
- Philipa 1970 for spring. I wore their velvet embellished jacket for New Year’s Eve, and their price point is really approachable. A few new pieces I’m eyeing: this dress, this jacket, and this kaftan.
- A Janessa Leone raffia bag. This one has a very Chanel sensibility.
- A new geo Ruggable. I love their new collection — this piece is my favorite.

Beyonce in Blue Denim Romeo Hunte with Tina Knowles at the Super Bowl
Some new images of Beyoncé have surfaced from Tina Knowles’s upcoming book reedition, offering a closer look at a coordinated moment between mother and daughter. The pair appeared together at the Super Bowl, with Beyoncé wearing a custom denim look by Romeo Hunte.

Her outfit featured a structured denim blazer layered over a crisp button-down shirt and tie, styled with a coordinating denim mini skirt layered over distressed jeans. The look played with proportion and layering, combining tailored elements with deconstructed denim for a directional take on suiting.

The ensemble closely aligns with Romeo Hunte’s Fall 2026 runway, where similar denim tailoring, belted silhouettes, and shirt-and-tie styling were presented. The runway version emphasized a cinched waist and elongated jacket proportions, translating into Beyoncé’s customized interpretation.

Tina Knowles stood alongside her daughter in a black leather ensemble, accented with a statement Schiaparelli belt and a structured silhouette, complementing the contrast between polished leather and layered denim.
The look is available via Romeo Hunte’s official website, RomeoHunte.com.

Pattern Meets Color – Julia Berolzheimer
More is more when it comes to color, especially when paired with print. When I’m approaching it, the first thing I think about is finding a piece that naturally brings everything together. A printed top, a scarf, even a skirt with multiple tones—something that already holds a palette within it. From there, I pull one or two of those colors through the rest of the look so everything feels connected.
I like to build from that starting point with pieces that carry color in a more defined way. A patterned silk trouser, a fluid skirt, or a lightweight layer in a single, clear tone gives the print something to anchor to and adds a sense of direction.
Lately, I’ve been drawn to pieces that do this especially well—color-washed skirts, softly structured tops with intricate prints, and accessories that introduce another tone seamlessly.
Texture is just as important. Woven bags, crinkled cottons, and airy fabrics break up the color and add dimension. It becomes a way of dressing where everything feels layered, intentional, and effortless.
Printed Cotton Sarong
Style this pareo over a swimsuit with flat leather sandals and oversized sunglasses for a polished beach or poolside look, then add simple gold jewelry for lunch just off the water.
Woven Striped Tote
This striped tote works for beach days, market mornings, and travel, especially paired with an easy cotton dress, raffia sandals, or relaxed linen separates
Fringe Crocheted Tank
This crocheted tank feels perfect with a long skirt or tailored shorts for vacation dinners, coastal afternoons, or warm-weather city dressing when you want texture to do the work.
