In Italy, most tourists go not only to see the sights, but also to stroll around the shops of Milan, in another way it is called here shopping in Milan. In this article I will tell you when it is better to go, what prices are waiting for you in the city's outlets, when to expect discounts.
Of course, walking around the city of the northern part of Italy, I did not go shopping, but the interest in prices and the idea that everyone was coming here to spend a lot of money haunted me. All the same, in one of the stores I could not resist and I bought a T-shirt in memory of Italy, but first things first.
To be honest, walking around Milan and looking at all the inhabitants of this city, you start to wonder which village I came from. Almost all residents have their own fashionable style and dress very well. No wonder the city dictates fashion to the whole world.
According to shopping statistics in Milan, men most often buy these very things, based on the fact that the following things change the style of a man in Italy forever. So, the things that you buy in Milan stores will change the way you look at your lifestyle.

Expensive shopping: brand boutiques
So, the richest street in boutiques in Milan is called Montenapoleone, where all the famous world boutiques are located, it is along this street that all the stars of show business and those who have a lot of money very often walk.
I had only 1000 dollars in my pocket and it didn't bother me to go to several boutiques. By the way, if you don't know how to dress or you have no taste, then you can safely hire a stylist, this profession is very profitable here (one day of shopping in Milan with a stylist costs about 3000 euros). For this money, he will not only dress you, but also tell you which shops in Milan are worth visiting and where to buy real things from Gucci.
If you do not know which shops in Milan are worth visiting to buy a real classic suit for a man, then I recommend Kiton boutique. The prices here are for someone else, for example, my hair has moved.
- Man's black suit - from 5 500 euros
- Man's suit according to individual sizes - from 22,000 euros
- Shirt - 1,200 euros
- Boots - 800 euros
And if you want to rent a boutique to sell things on Montenapoleone Street, then renting a store will cost you about 60,000 euros per month. By the way, on this street in one boutique you will not find everything at once, as in the Chinese market, everything is sold separately. Now let's go down to the ground and go to the regular shops.
Excelsior Milano is a common store where you can go shopping in Milan. A huge shopping center with a selection of quality items. The prices in the boutiques of this shopping center are not as frightening as on the street Montenapoleone.
Prices in the Milan Excelsior Milano store
- Jackets - 650 euros
- Stylish blazers - 200 euros
- Polo shirts - 80 euros
- Boots - 450 euros
You can get fully dressed in Milan outlets for about 1200 - 1500 euros. Shopping in Milan is not that expensive, you can go shopping and find even cheaper, but I did not have time, I was late for the plane. While I was shopping in Milan and booking cheap flights through the Aviasales service on my website for one, I managed to buy only a polo shirt for 75 euros.
Shopping in Milan is designed for a variety of wallets; many excursion agencies organize special tours here. There are also huge shopping malls with discounts on last year's collections, and there are individual outlets with even more discounts.
One such Serravalle Designer Outlet I visited with a group from a shopping tour from Milan. I'll make a reservation right away, if you want to buy really cheap things, then you need to go during the sales season, at other times the prices will not please you even in the cheapest stores.
Prices in Serravalle outlet stores
- Dress - 100 euros
- Sneakers or other boots from 300 - 500 euros
- Women's shoes with stiletto heels 10 cm - 150 euros
- Lingerie underwear from 60 euros
- Men's free style trousers - 140 euros
- T-shirts - from 60 euros
- Women's bags - 14 euros (last year's collections with discounts)
Shopping in Milan in the city's markets
What do you think, and what shops in Milan do the usual local population of Italy visit? Of course, not everyone in Italy earns very well and dresses with a needle, such people are engaged in shopping in ordinary clothing markets.
Prices in such markets are really the most common, I will give the cost of some things:
- Blouse - 15 euros
- Ladies bag - 15 euros
- Men's boots - 20 euros
- Men's belt - 15 euros
- Jeans - 120 euros
- Sneakers - 20 euros
To be honest, if you want to be in Milan's clothing markets, you don't need to go anywhere, you also have such markets with Asian-looking merchants in the city, the goods are the same. Did you think there are no Chinese things in Milan? You are wrong, they are everywhere here! Having bought a bag at an overpriced price from a famous designer in the market or on the street from a seller, you can be sure that it is a fake.
Shop locations for shopping in Milan
After walking through many shops, I realized that in fashion it is no longer necessary to know for what price and from which manufacturer you wear a thing, you just buy what you really like and what certainly suits you. A lot of stylish things in boutiques no longer have their own logo, price tags and names, such rules are dictated by fashion.
Anyone can shop in Milan, the main thing is to start from the wallet. I talked about all the price categories of things, which places are worth visiting for tourists from Russia and what to expect while walking around the shops of Milan.
