Milan fashion week is officially up and running! #Gluedtoinstagram.

We all know that Italian designers are pioneers when it comes to glamor and opulence, from Dolce and Gabbana's artistic re-exploration of their Italian roots, to Gianni Versace's classic 'bombshell' vibe.

But what about the garments sitting either side of the runway?

Fashion Week street style provides an endless to stream of inspiration, prettiness and envy (oh, how I wish I was there!) And let's be honest, who doesn't want to look like a street style star?

Thought so!!

I've searched far and wide through this seasons street style looks from New York, London and Milan to create a list of ten staples that you can rock (affordably too!)

It's time to get your wardrobe A/W 2015 street style ready!



Above: My wardrobe's version of the 10 fashion week street style staples

1. The Micro Bag
Bigger doesn't always mean better, as these cute and compact mini bags prove...

3. The Perfect Jean
The perfect jeans are surprisingly high in the style stakes. Go for ripped and worn for an off-duty model look.

5. The Super-Soft Neutral Tank Top

Invest in a couple of neutral-hued, 100% cotton tank tops. They are the perfect street style basic to layer up.
