milanese style

 

While Instagram delivers around-the-world style to our fingertips, it also homogenizes fashion, serving up an almost singular yet omnipresent/global aesthetic. There used to be a time when New Yorkers dressed differently than Angelenos. Not so much these days, I find. What's cool in London is also hot in Madrid. The exception to this phenomenon? The Milanese, who remain loyal to their longstanding and distinctive look, rooted in minimalism and sensuality--and manifest in the street style pics here. I want to channel their stand-out style via key pieces they love, but mostly the striped Gucci horsebit bag, a full white skirt, and red tights.
