PARIS
What better way to welcome the warmer weather than a weekend getaway to the city of love; Paris. Known for all the iconic spots; the Eiffeltower, Le Jardin du Luxembourg, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe and Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. But also, traditional and stylish fashion. As the fashion capital of the world, Paris never disappoints. For your visit, think classic lines, neutral and navy tones and sleek cuts. Button-down shirts, light sweaters and tailored pants or jeans.
For the vibes, add some stripes to that extra Parisian feeling!
Pro tip: Paris is not Paris without people watching from one of the city’s endless sidewalk-seated restaurants.
MILAN
This spring, make the trip to Italy’s epicentre for fashion and luxury: Milan. Not only does this city attract fashionistas from all around the world, it is also a city packed with culture and history. Visit La Scala for an unforgettable night with an opera or a ballet, stroll through the city’s parks, such as Parco Semptione, and have a seat at on of the endless bars for a mandatory aperitivo. The Milanese dress very classic, focusing on quality and cuts. Cashmere is a staple in the city, as well as loafers and perfectly fitted trousers. Add a spring feeling with a striped pullover under your jacket or blazer.
Pro tip: The must drink in Milan is a Negroni Sbagliato. It literally means a “wrong negroni”, and was accidentally created in the cult bar “Bar Basso” in Milan when a bartender added Prosecco into the drink instead of Gin. Safe to say, not a bad mistake!
VENICE
The city of water, the city of bridges or the floating city, Venice has many names. As place filled to the brim with culture and history, it is a perfect destination for a weekend trip. Enjoy scrumptious Italian food, immerse yourself in art in the various galleries and palazzos and take the time to think and write. Whether you prefer seeing the city from the water, or getting lost in all the small alleys and streets, key is wearing comfortable yet stylish pieces. Choose classic garments like pullovers, button-ups and trousers paired with modern sneakers or loafers.
Aim for that classical elegant look whilst matching the gondola drivers; wear stripes!
Pro tip: Cicchetti and a spritz in one of the city’s many piazza’s or along the canal’s is a must.
COPENHAGEN
Meet spring the Scandinavian way. Copenhagen is known for being a creative hub, its delicious restaurants and immaculate vibes. The true Copenhagen-er is dressed casually, comfortably and is not afraid to mix and match colours and trends. Think city chic meets hiker, Scandinavian minimalism meets colourful maximalism and above all, curated in a sustainability conscious way.
Scandinavians love versatility in their garments. Stripes are always a fashion must, so add them into your weekend bag for your Copenhagen trip!
Pro tip: Copenhagen is a biking city. This also explains the level of comfort required by Copenhagen-ers. So for your visit, skip the metro and taxi and live like the locals do. Bike!
