European fashion

Milan runway trends

European fashion refers to clothing styles, design traditions, and the fashion industry centered in Europe, particularly France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.

The term often carries connotations of sophistication, high-end craftsmanship, and trend-setting influence: She dressed in European fashion—all clean lines and muted colors.

Major fashion houses like Chanel, Gucci, and Burberry exemplify the concept.

In American usage, describing something as European fashion suggests continental elegance distinct from American casualness.
