Chic but relaxing style makes gorgeous comeback on Milan runways

MILAN, Italy, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) — The Milan men’s wear fashion week ended on Tuesday with major houses presenting ideas for an unfailingly chic but also relaxing style.

The preview showings for the 2012/2013 winter in the Italian fashion capital offered a mix of traditional elegance and practical comfort to the new metropolitan gentleman who prepares for the next cold season.

Transferring top drawer clothing into casual wear was a difficult task achieved by leading designers who showed how to always dress appropriately without forgetting to keep a fancy side in the closet.

Giorgio Armani’s collection adjusted classic urban color pattern to the comfort theme, lightening tradition with boulder grays and bright sky blues, which reminded of ski resorts’ tints in the Italian mountains.
