DRESS CODE FOR "THE MILLE MIGLIA": SMART CASUAL.
Hi guys! Today, I'd like to create a different post than usual, with outfits that are inspired to the legendary Mille Miglia vintage car race. This sport event was originally a long-distance race which took place in Italy 24 times from 1927 to 1957. Since 1977 it has become a race for vintage vehicles, because the competition is limited to classic sports-cars manufactured before 1957 which took part in the editions of the original race. So, every May, for four days, lots of car lovers gather in Italy to celebrate the glory of vintage auto racing and watch this modern-time revival racing on a route from Brescia to Rome and back, passing through the traditional places of the original Mille Miglia.
This year, the 36th edition of its re-enactment has started today, Wednesday 16th May and will end on Saturday 19th May 2018, animated by enthusiasts from all over the world.
Like every year, lots of beautiful brightly hued cars have been charming even the most reticent onlookers for four days, while the Italian cities involved in the competition have been blessed with a magic, joyful, elegant atmosphere and crowded with jet-setters dressed in a cool, chic dress code that is suggestive of a delightful glamorous lifestyle.
So, if we want to find a definition for the "Mille Miglia dress code", this would include a collection of original ready-to-wear pieces branded "Mille Miglia", that you can buy online or at on-site merchandise stands, if you’re either a participant or a huge fan, as well as period-style sporty clothing for a look authentic to the era. But there are also other chic outfits to try on this occasion, if you are not a participant, but you have some spare time to follow the technical checks at the Brixia Forum in Brescia or drool over the cars on display in the wonderful squares and parading through the streets of the city centre before the official departure, free to enjoy the typical cheerful atmosphere full of excitement and expectations, before the event .

Here are some glamorous looks for women and for men to dress chic and comfy during "The most beautiful race in the world": this will include chinos, khakis, slim-fit jeans with a button-down shirt or a polo-style shirt and a sport-jacket, gommino driving shoes or sneakers and, without forgetting a raincoat, since heavy rain is traditionally one of the main features of this famous competition, where you'll find that vintage cars can be surprisingly durable and sporty in inclement weather...
