LET YOUR CLOTHES BE LOUD EITHER IN CUT OUR COLOUR, AND DRESS TO IMPRESS NO ONE BUT YOURSELF

As for accessories, anything goes. Ties layered with necklaces, covered by a silk scarf and toppe by statement sunnies almost isn’t enough for the true Milano street style queen. The best accessory however? Just look to Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio’s matching outfits, where a partner in the same colour palette is the only accessory you need for maximum effect. The street style royalty wore cohesive prada looks for their design duo outing, with the effect being the ultimate ‘It girl’ vibe and a look that’s just so much more than a braided friendship bracelet.

The ultimate takeaway from Milan street style during fashion week is freeing: from your boots to your padded three piece suits, be bold, be present, be brilliant. Let your clothes be loud either in cut or colour, and dress to impress no one but yourself.

The ever-present issue for the Bristol fashionista? Translating fashion week street style into something that will withstand a much rainier climate. Luckily for us, bright patterned scarves, a plethora of accessories and a chunky boot were everywhere this autumn - and if your budget can’t quite stretch to a classic Isobel Marant pair, anything black with loose fitting trousers does just the trick. Layer up with turtlenecks and tights for a taste of Xenia’s rogue sophistication, or go big in monochrome to mirror the likes of Patricia Manfield and Chrissy Rutherford.
