Milan it has always been considered the capital of fashion and luxury. Often tends to associate this city with 5-star shopping, Milan is not only the fashion district, but also large stores, very trendy shopping streets and beautiful markets where you can find vintage garments and many bargains.
As many will know the Quadrilatero della Moda is a neighborhood in the historic center of Milan that includes Via Montenapoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia, but also the many internal streets taken by Japanese and Arab tourists.
Here, fashion boutiques, luxury shops, jewelers and stylists' showrooms are concentrated. In this area, however, there is no shortage of outlets such as D Magazine Outlet in Via Manzoni, 44 where you can buy clothes and shoes from all the major Italian and foreign designers. In front of the Duomo it is located Dante Street, is a splendid pedestrian street surrounded by shops and bars. In addition to the excellent clothing showrooms, on the street there are many gift shops and art ateliers. If you are interested in small ones design and antiques showroom the ideal place is the Brera area, which in addition to being the heart of shopping is also a meeting place for the Milanese nightlife.
One of the most famous and accessible to "mere mortals" where purchases do not necessarily exceed 100 euros is Vin Turin, shopping street dedicated to the youngest with stores including H&M, Mango, Oviesse and Kiko. It is one of the oldest streets in Milan, which has always been a commercial area: once on the street there were several artisan workshops, today it is a succession of clothing showcases and bars always very popular with young people and tourists.
Very nice to visit on this street between one purchase and another is the small church of Santa Maria in San Sitiro, a masterpiece by Bramante. At the end of Via Torino begins Via Cesare Correnti which then becomes Corso Genova. Along this route you arrive at the Navigli, another of the many shopping districts of Milan. The Navigli area is crowded with vintage shops, casual and military clothing suitable for rockers and punks. Getting lost in these streets means savoring the taste of old Milan. In the Navigli area on Saturdays you will find the flea market with clothing, vinyl records, bicycles, tools, and any object you can imagine strictly used.
Unmissable in the Milanese shopping tour is undoubtedly Corso Buenos Aires which offers tourists and strollers all kinds of shops, from clothing to branded underwear, from shoes to shirts, from department stores to bookstores. In Corso Buenos Aires it is impossible to park, but it is well served by the subway and buses. It is a decidedly democratic street for shopping, in fact, alongside branded shops and rather high prices, there are several where you can spend less, but always buying good quality products. Here is a shop with more than a hundred years of life, De Bernardi where behind its old style counter there is an assortment of refined lingerie.
