A little about the Milanese style
Milan became the generally accepted capital of fashion and design in 2000. The real style of the Milanese is cycling even in winter; suede lace-up shoes or very worn moccasins; a moderate amount of colors and appliqués on clothes; buying newspapers at a newsstand on Saturdays.
Milan girls and the famous designer Miuccia Prada interpret the Milanese style best of all. Milanese have “their” schools, “their” gestures and “their” style codes.
For native Milanese, the absolute “NO” is: shoes that reveal the toes; red manicure; deep cleavage; very bright makeup. Milanese style involves pleasant pleasures like “La Lina” and “Il Dodo”.
Milanese love to relax in the winter at the ski resorts of Courmayeur, Cervinia and St. Moritz. In the spring, Milanese prefer the sea from “Santa” to Varigotti, Lake Como and Maggiore or a simple vacation in the countryside. Rarely do locals stay in the city for the weekend.
If they stay at home, it is usually due to Milan Fashion and Design Week.
Shopping in Milan – style, quality and ideal prices
The Milanese love to talk about their green city, which is clearly visible from a bird’s eye view and it is true… parks and gardens, which are located even on Milanese balconies, create the impression of an eternally green city.
Tourists from all over the world strive to get to Milan and share all the joys that the Milanese style implies. One of these joys of a modern tourist is shopping in Milan.
Shopping in Milan
Shopping in Milan can be very diverse and has its own subtleties, which a professional stylist will help you understand.
In Milan, all things are unique and fashionable, but only an experienced stylist knows how to correctly combine the incompatible, how to find your own individual style and save on purchases!
Milan and shopping are inseparable concepts. There are not many places in the world where you can enjoy shopping to the fullest, and Milan delights its guests and locals with new seasonal collections year after year.
The most famous Italian luxury brands continue to thrive thanks to their emphasis on understated elegance and impeccable execution. Every season, Milan opens more and more new young designer boutiques, which only fashion industry professionals and locals know about.
Shopping with a stylist in Milan is very popular among visitors to the city, and this is not surprising. Saving energy and time, targeted shopping at the prices and brands you are interested in – and just having a good time!
Rarely a tourist can cope with the independent search for shops and discounts…
For those who are counting on a pleasant shopping – I recommend planning a trip to the capital of Italian fashion in advance and, before going to Milan for shopping, contact a competent specialist in matters of style and fashion for advice and support, choosing the best shops.
Shopping in Milan is not suitable for those people who expect to buy a large number of things, shoes, bags, accessories and spend a relatively small amount on it. Check out the price list in advance or ask me a question about your shopping budget.
When to go shopping in Milan
New Italian collections are gradually arriving in Milan boutiques. In March you can buy all the items from the spring-summer collections, and already in September, items from the autumn-winter collections.
This period is the best in terms of shopping in Milan, since the entire size range is presented, no one has tried on items yet, plus a pleasant visit to Milan boutiques can be combined with fashion shows during fashion week.
Seasonal sales begin on the first Saturday of July and the first Saturday of January. The size of discounts in Milan boutiques is usually from 30-40% to 50%. In the outlets in the suburbs of Milan you can buy things with discounts from 50% to 70-80% percent throughout the year.
