While you walk along Corso Porta Venezia towards Piazza San Babila, past a series of shops and megastores including some Italian fashion shops, take a break to relax and have a taste of classic Milanese style by visiting the Brigatti house.
There is no risk of being bombarded by dazzling white lights and steel and crystal structures here, but you will find a welcoming atmosphere with large dark wood furniture.
Kind, attentive staff will direct you to a choice of soft cashmere knitwear, scarves, hats and overcoats. They also sell more modern clothes and fancy yet practical sports accessories to look good on the golf course, the tennis court, skiing or while playing squash.
