They move along the border of coats and dresses in the slightest wind and charge the wearer with sophisticated charm. They decorate shoes and embellish bags, and not for evening wear, but mostly for casual daywear. Down the runway by Prada. …
There is no compromise with this season’s fur coats: either short and super colorful or long with revers and basically in natural tones such as honey, camel, mud and chocolate. This winter’s trendiest fur coat is seventies-style, to be worn even over a sweatsuit. However, the Parisian runway looks are more daring, with the successful vintage and custom-made mix: eighties-style shearling coats, faux fur coats like those by Miu Miu with contrasting collars and the fantastic pink leather jacket by McQueen. And then there are the fur collars that make any vest, duster coat or trench-coat look luxurious. By Dries Van Noten and Loewe. …
I love this 80s fur coat that I bought at a vintage shop in NYC. It pairs wonderfully with black, over-the-knee boots and rollneck; or with leather leggings and super-feminine booties. My favorite look is with light-colored jeans and red pumps: the perfect eighties look to enjoy the last bit of winter in style. …
High, over-the-knee boots, like those seen at Fendi’s show. Or lower, but strictly pointed or super squared. Shoes only with visible socks, perhaps in this winter’s hottest color: red. The focus is on heels, which are stiletto, geometric or sculpture-like. Fur-lined slippers are still going strong. By Saint Laurent, Cèline, Prada. …
And what about shoes? A magnificent obsession! Diva Shoes, a small and bright shop along Viale Montegrappa makes you wish you could have them all. Skyscraping sandals, lovely pumps in uncommon colors like the cherry red and dark green ones by L’Arianna, over-the-knee stiletto boots and Beatle boots, lace-ups and ballerina flats. …
Micro or macro? There are the mini shoulder bags with jeweled details and chain handle, the maxi clutches or the evergreen duffle handbags. Fifties-style if carried by hand, seventies-style over the shoulder and eighties-style if flat and envelope-shaped. After last year’s double bags, here come the triple ones, same shape but different colors! Dolce & Gabbana, Mulberry, Coach. …
Besides the runways, it’s the street style that dictates fashion trends. Fur, trench and sheepskin coats are wardrobe essentials, but this winter’s must have is the evergreen down jacket. And nobody knows down jackets like Aspesi: ultra-lightweight, warm, mine comes in a powder blue tone, paired with contrasting velvet pants and a knit by Alberta Ferretti which is a favorite with influencers and bloggers all over social media. The hat is a souvenir from a trip to New York. …
Oversized, very puffy, soft and super warm: the urban coat you can wear all through winter, even over a very ladylike outfit. From the classic quilted model to the elegant jacket-style version and retro-looking coat with maxi, fur-trimmed revers, this winter you’re never going to suffer from the cold! The latest from the runways is the padded bomber jacket. By Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Vetements. …
Willi Wear has been reflecting the style of Annalisa, who started the shop alongside Glauco, since 1991. Impeccably beautiful, Annalisa stylishly mixes trendy and classic pieces, in a small 16-square-meter space. Annalisa’s staff members are perfectly aligned with her style, being able to suggest the perfect look for any occasion at first glance. …
Forget about the one you used to wear at school. Today, the jumpsuit is a modern day suit, made from special fabrics and skins and with a glam touch to it. Pierpaolo Piccioli for Valentino introduced sporty outfits paired with terry socks and sandals. Down the runway also by Chloè, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney. …
For a tour of Florentine master perfume-makers, I picked a grey knit outfit, comfy and chic at the same time. The accessories bring a Bohemian touch to the outfit. My wide-legged Argonne pants pair wonderfully with the Zara sock-shoes matching the light-weight woolen sweater. …
The perfect look for those chilly days when temperatures drop. A silver grey palette with matching K Way down jacket. The Freddy sweatshirt is beautiful and sparkling. …
If you’re not a huge fan of bright colors, here is a sound alternatives to the total black look. The comeback of grey, an elegant and neutral color, which turns warmer thanks to fabrics such as angora and cashmere. The chicest pairing is grey and pale pink, in the urban dancer version, but also grey and purple, petrol green and classic black. Ladylike details. Tailored suits, very long coats and designer dresses can be worn from September on, with still some tan left, but very elegant on fair complexions as well. By Chanel and Giambattista Valli. …
Who says that grey has to be dull and dreary. This deep anthracite-grey shade highlights the silhouette like a pencil stroke, with British-style elegance. I adore the cape by Luisa Spagnoli with the frogs in evidence and the play of colors on the shoulders. The Zara turtleneck and sock shoes and the Incotex pants, so graphic-looking, bring out the cape’s fullness. The light-grey handbag by Zanellato is the outfit’s super chic accessory. …
The Emperor’s Castle serves as the backdrop to this all-grey look, including a very trendy anthracite-grey cape. The knit and pants are pearl grey-colored, with turtleneck, cape and sock shoes in darker shades of grey. The electric blue detail on the bag and cape adds an energizing touch to the ensemble. Accessories are very important: butterfly-shaped frames by Marc Jacobs and a large-brimmed, a bit romantic-looking hat by Cristina e i suoi colori. …
