Il Salone del Mobile in Milan (Milan design week) is an endless source of inspiration when it comes to design and architecture. But wandering the streets of Milan in June is also a feast for the eyes.
Milanese are known for their sartorial elegance so we thought we would share some of the trends we spotted on these stylish Italian women while visiting last week.
'Have you heard of La Double J' said a Milanese friend as soon as we met.
JJ Martins is Milan's new fashion empress and paying a visit to her incredibly beautiful store via Sant'Andrea is a must.
Maxi silk dresses with gorgeous prints (originally from the Mantero print archives) sell like hot cakes. Another best seller are her wide-leg trousers: comfy and utterly elegant, perfect for the warm weather, no wonder they are a hit amongst Milanese women.
Forget about trainers! Milanese women wear sandals and more specifically flat wedge sandals because elegance doesn’t have to hinder comfort. Wedge sandals are perfect when worn with maxi dresses or wide trousers.
Whether worn around the head, shoulders or tied to a basket handbag, a scarf is the hardest working summer accessory.
Silky trousers are elegant, light and capable of being dressed up or down.
Grab a tote with bright colours to elegantly lift any summer outfit.
