Okay, so today I wanted to capture the essence of Milanese street style. You know, that effortless chic vibe that everyone talks about? I decided to head out to the streets and see what I could find.
First, I grabbed my camera – nothing fancy, just my trusty old DSLR and made my way to the city center.
I started my adventure near the Duomo, figuring it’s a hotspot for both locals and tourists, so I’d get a good mix of styles. I walked around, keeping my eyes peeled for anyone who caught my attention. It wasn’t about finding the most outrageous outfits, but rather those little details that spoke “Milan.”
- The Accessories Game: I’ve noticed the Milanese people are good at accessories. Scarves, for sure, even in warmer weather. It’s all about how they tie them. And sunglasses – big, bold ones – are a must.
- Tailoring is Key: Even casual outfits seem to have a tailored element. Like, a simple blazer thrown over jeans and a t-shirt, but the blazer fits perfectly.
- Neutral Colors with a Pop: I noticed a lot of blacks, whites, greys, and beiges, but then they’d add a splash of color with a bright bag, shoes, or a scarf.
- Confidence is the Best Outfit: Honestly, the biggest thing I noticed was the confidence. People just walked with this air of “I know I look good,” and that made even the simplest outfits stand out.
I spent a good few hours just wandering, snapping photos, people don’t care too much. Sometimes I’d ask for a photo, sometimes I’d just discreetly capture a moment.
I’m so excited about the photos that I’ve captured. I was so happy during capturing, It felt like I was really soaking up the atmosphere of the city. Milanese street style? It’s less about specific trends and more about a general attitude of effortless elegance. It’s about quality over quantity, attention to detail, and, most importantly, owning your look.
