Milan fashion designers say: 'Go ahead and relax'

MILAN (AP) — Go ahead and relax: Next season’s menswear fashion will be easy to wear and at times even athletic without requiring, or necessarily even inspiring, actual exertion on the part of the wearer.

Sportswear has inspired many looks showing up on the Milan runway during Milan Fashion Week, on its second day Sunday. Jackets are a mainstay and run the gamut from longer overcoats to short bombers. Trousers are just as easily pleated as cropped and close-fitting. Bermudas are the shorts of choice.
