This was one of the most daunting places I went to, all the women there are serious about their fashion and grooming, having been packpacking through Italy for 2 weeks, I'd obviously missed my eyebrow wax and when I say these women were immaculate, I mean literally not a hair out of place!!!
Corso Buenos Aires is the biggest shopping street in Milan, with numerous shops and boutiques, and a major communications artery, connecting the historic city centre of the city with the modern business and industrial area of Milan to the north. Unlike Via Montenapoleone, which deals more with "haute couture" and elegant "high fashion" clothes, Corso Buenos Aires' shops specify more into "ready-to-wear" type clothes. Corso Buenos Aires is Milan's main commercial and shopping street, and contains over 350 stores, going from upscale fashion labels to small and traditional Milanese emporia. The street crosses 3 Milan Metro stations: Porta Venezia MM, Lima MM and finally Loreto MM. The street begins from Piazzale Oberdan (Porta Venezia), and ends up in Piazzale Loreto.
The street is built in a distinctive late-18th and 19th century style, containing numerous neo-classical edifices. Corso Buenos Aires used to be a traditional Milanese street, with numerous shops selling local products and merchandise, however many of these have been replaced by modern fashion outlets, and some of the ancient buildings with modern, high-rise blocks of flats. The street is one of the busiest in Milan, especially during the Christmas period, when it sells most of the city's decorations.
I did go back for a weekend trip and had a great time, shopping, dining out, quite a different trip to my budget backpacking, Milan is a great location for a romantic break away!
