Winter dressing starts with the coat, and few categories matter more to a season’s wardrobe. For autumn-winter 2026, Wallpaper* photographed the strongest milan winter outerwear on the streets of Milan. It is also where most of the wardrobe budget goes.
The story appears in the December 2026 issue of Wallpaper*. Photographer Luca Campri and stylist Camilla Sossi chose the pieces. The shoot features model Annabelle Weatherly in a series of spontaneous portraits.
The standout piece is a quilted leather gilet from Ferragamo, designed by Maximilian Davis. Its fastenings draw on the house’s Gancini motif. At the other end of the scale sits a shaggy shearling coat from Bottega Veneta, designed by Louise Trotter. Its teddy-bear proportions are built for the coldest days.
The overall mood of this edit leans toward nostalgic elegance, with a contemporary edge. A double-breasted overcoat from Celine, designed by Michael Rider, reflects the French house’s bourgeois roots. The story pairs it with a roll-neck sweater.
A Miu Miu Harrington jacket in classic herringbone wool takes a more ladylike route through the selection. The styling adds a pillbox hat and a top-handle handbag.
Milan winter outerwear: texture and play
Other winter outerwear looks add texture and play to familiar shapes. A slouchy Chloé parka mixes slices of shearling with tartan. A caped Carven coat carries tassels of the kind found on a blanket. A chunky Louis Vuitton sweater works as outerwear in its own right.
Wallpaper* described the same approach in its earlier coverage of the A/W 2026 men’s collections. In that piece, the magazine wrote that a change of season “gives one a chance to craft a new persona.” The women’s selection of milan winter fashion follows that logic. Each coat or jacket is a deliberate choice about how to look.
Campri said the shoot changed how he sees his own city. “I think I’ll remember this story as the first time I truly made peace with the city I live in,” he says. “For years, I’d been photographing stories here without ever feeling completely at ease, but this time, it inspired me in a whole new way.” He is currently working on a book about everyday domestic moments.
