With scores of shops offering high-end men’s, women’s, and children’s designer clothing at deep discounts, The Style Outlets in Vicolungo makes an excellent day trip from Milan or Turin for fashion-forward bargain shoppers. You can visit independently by taking the shuttle, or join a shopping tour with transportation included. Shopping tours often include a stop at nearby Lake Maggiore, with its picturesque town of Stresa and islets of Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori.
The Style Outlets is located in the town of Vicolungo, about 30 minutes outside Milan. A round-trip shuttle service runs daily from the Largo Cairoli meeting point in Milan and Piazza Carlo Felice (opposite the Porta Nuova train station) in Turin. Free parking is available on-site.
Weekends and holidays can be very crowded, so visit during the weekdays to shop in relative peace. Italy has two sale seasons in January and July, when you can find even better bargains.
Brands sold at the shopping center include Italian favorites like Armani and Liu Jo, international labels including Calvin Klein and Timberland, and even sportswear from Adidas and Nike. In addition to fashions for men, women, and children, you can find luxury accessories and shoes, houseware and linens, and even luggage.
