STYLE À LA MILANESE
Back from Italy and taking notes: A Spring Wardrobe Edit with 50 Finds That Channel the Vibe
Dear friends,
I’ve just returned from Milan Design Week, and while the design scene was as inspiring as ever, it was the people – especially the women – who left a lasting impression. There’s something quietly magnetic about the way Milanese women dress. It’s not about chasing trends or making a statement, but about cultivating a sense of presence. Their style is elegant yet playful, refined but never rigid. You’ll see impeccably cut coats, soft knits, and beautifully made shoes – but look closer and there’s always a twist: a cheeky pop of colour, an unexpected texture, a vintage detail worn with ease, jewellery that makes a difference. It’s style as a form of self-respect – thoughtful, intentional, and deeply individual. After falling down a rabbit hole of inspiration, I gathered 50 pieces from around the internet that capture this spirit – the kind of pieces that bring a little of that Milanese mood into your everyday dressing.
Lots of love,
Franzi
