Outerwear Ideas Seen at the Milan Fashion Week Spring 2026 Presentations

MILAN — It was an unpredictable season here, with creative director debuts, surprising show formats and emerging brands grabbing attention. The weather played its part, too, confusing the fashion crowd with downpours one moment, and warm sun popping up again the next.

Presentations held throughout the week offered a solution to both the fashion and weather issues by displaying different takes on outerwear that promise to tap into many needs and preferences.

Here are four ideas fit for four different moods:

The Romantic Soul: Agnona

The expansive spring 2026 collection Agnona presented in its design headquarters was a hymn to blooming. Still keeping with the brand’s distinctive understated elegance, creative director Stefano Aimone embraced the optimistic theme with a new sense of embellishment and feminine touches encompassing prints and embroidered details that nodded to the botanical reference.

The Minimalism Fan: Herno

Outerwear specialist Herno never lacks options. Season after season, the brand expands its proposition and taps into different occasions of use — from life in the city to outdoorsy adventures — experimenting with fabrics, weights and treatments in the process. For spring 2026, the brand didn’t disappoint either its loyal customers or the minimalist fans approaching its assortment for the first time. For one, the pure lines of a white coat reduced seams and volumes to the bare minimum, lending the lightweight piece a ‘90s vibe and making it the ideal addition to a wardrobe and a suitcase come next season.

The Bold Personality: Raxxy

Proselytes of maximalism can always rely on Raxxy, instead, as the Chinese luxury down jacket brand founded by William Shen keeps garnering retailers’ and customers’ attention with its lightweight avant-garde designs inspired by traditional Chinese craftsmanship, like bamboo weaving and paper-cutting.

Along with a pop-up at Modes and its main line, during Milan Fashion Week the brand presented a capsule collection dedicated to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, that will be delivered in January just in time for the start of the sports event on Feb. 6.

It’s pretty clear Raxxy will be a Team Italy supporter, as the brand exalted its patented woven technique with a color palette that paid tribute to the country’s flag with its mix of green, white and red colors. These informed different iterations of down jackets and puffy pants, as well as fun accessories such as scarves, hats, bags and blankets — all spotlighting Raxxy’s knack for 3D constructions, geometric patterns and bold color schemes.

The Sporty Character: Pirelli

Pirelli conscripted sportswear design veteran Denis Deković — a Nike and Adidas alum — to debut a lifestyle collection of garments sitting at the intersection of merch inspired by its famed calendar and full-fledged fashion line.

Zeroing in on racingcore, no less, the collection featured an edgy varsity jacket inspired by mechanics’ gear on the racetrack. Intended for unisex use, it featured a thick canvas body bearing racing-inspired patches and graphics, as well as rubberized details, with pebbled leather sleeves. Part of the first of two drops dedicated to racing, the lifestyle collection also comprised hoodies, T-shirts and long-sleeve jerseys.

The second drop entirely dedicated to the Pirelli calendar features a wool and leather iteration of the varsity style in an all-black version.
