Sciura Milanese Style

Italians are known for their impeccable, elegant style. They know how to combine simple basics with chic and slightly eccentric accents.

In the last decade, thanks to social media, the image of fashionable Milanese grannies, called sciura Milanese, has become a phenomenon.

These are not the typical older Italian women who like cooking spaghetti for their large families. You can meet a sciura Milanese in the center of the Italian fashion capital on a walk with friends, on the way to the theater or shopping, or in a coffee shop, alone and leisurely drinking espresso. It is easy to recognize her.

She is dressed to the nines, her hair is always perfectly styled, her nails and lips are painted. Milanese ladies adore large pearl and gold jewelry, classic designer handbags and sunglasses. They are not afraid of bright colors, prints and heels.

This is the Italian chic that many strive for. Laconic turtlenecks are complemented with patterned wool jackets, natural fabric colors with bright leather shoes or handbags.

They choose high-quality natural fabrics and classic styles that may seem old-fashioned to young girls.

Despite the fact that winters in Milan are quite mild, Milanese grandmothers do not refuse the main element of the winter wardrobe - a natural fur coat. They complete their look with gloves made of thin leather or suede, which match the bag or shoes.

In addition to hats and scarves, their best accessory is an arrogant look.

If you are a glamorous lady, live in the center of Milan and have not lost your taste for life and fashion, why should you care what others think?
