Giorgio Armani saves the dramatics for his Milan runway shows. The fancy pants he's known for—and that are now absolutely everywhere—were replaced for pre-fall by simple, narrow, or wide-leg options with jackets to mix and match in shades of gray and black, along with an equally restrained lineup of after-dark looks. Call it the new red-carpet dressing: These narrow silhouettes and understated embellishments are well suited to the times.
