When it comes to packing for Milan and Paris, versatility is key. Opt for a capsule wardrobe consisting of classic pieces that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. Start with essentials such as a well-tailored blazer, a crisp white shirt, a little black dress, and a pair of tailored trousers. These timeless items will serve as the foundation of your stylish ensemble throughout the trip.

When it comes to footwear, comfort is crucial, especially when we'll be exploring the charming streets of Milan and Paris. Opt for stylish yet comfortable shoes like leather loafers, block heels, or lets be real, some chic sneakers.

Remember, we'll be doing a lot of walking, so choose footwear that can keep up with your busy schedule without compromising on style. And start wearing any new shoes in NOW!

As you pack your bags, be sure to include a versatile tote or crossbody bag to carry your essentials as we navigate through exhibitions, showrooms, and design studios.

Lastly, don't forget to pack a stylish outer layer to combat the unpredictable spring weather in Milan and Paris. A classic trench coat, a chic blazer, or a cozy knit sweater will keep you warm and fashionable as you explore these vibrant cities.
