Ciao, Bella! A Lesson in Street Chic Straight From Milan Fashion Week

Fashion Week couldn't be stopped by a little rain or snow — the streets of Milan were dotted with glamorously attired showgoers armed with luxe furry accents, hats, embellishments, and sky-high stilettos (and bare legs). True to form, this street style is more whimsical and a little more dressed-up than your London or NYC set — fascinators, statement jewels, and even floor-length gowns made their appearance on the attendees shuttling from show to show. Of course, if you're looking for more practical outfit inspiration, there are a few to emulate here as well. Click through now for a lesson in street chic, Milano style, with our favorite snaps from Fashion Week.
