Hot Spots, Hot Outfits, and Hot Weather For Lake Como
The sky is clearing, flowers are blossoming, and sun rays are peeking through the clouds. At last, we bid farewell to this year’s endless winter and welcome the pre-summer quarter: Spring. Here in Milan—aka Gotham City, people are already making the most of the sunshine, soaking up as much vitamin D as possible. Outdoor lunches, endless gelatos, and sidewalk ciggies are among the Milanese's favorite pastimes. Others, however, escape on weekends to a paradise just 40 minutes away: Lake Como.
When you think of living "La Dolce Vita," Lake Como’s gorgeous villas, glamorous restaurants, and romantic gardens are likely the first images that come to mind. Over the past decade, this Italian haven has become one of the most popular destinations in the country. In fact, due to its captivating setting, people are drawn to this destination to commemorate major life events, such as proposals and weddings.
With Como’s stunning villas and chic restaurants, choosing the right activities can feel a bit overwhelming. To ease your weekend getaway, we’ve curated a short list of spots and fun activities in the city. Oh! And if that’s not enough, we’ve even planned outfit selections to match the summery vibe.
Romantic Stroll at Villa Carlotta
Whether you are visiting Lake Como on a girls' trip, a romantic getaway, or simply traveling solo, the dreamy gardens of Villa Carlotta are an unmissable spot.
Monochrome doesn't have to mean boring. Our all-white Saint Laurent embroidered dress features a beautiful flowy silhouette, bell sleeves, and an interior silk slip dress for comfort. To break off the simplicity of the dress, accessorize with our vintage-inspired Chanel Coco Mark long pendants and a Hermès Silke headband, letting the earrings take center stage. Since exploring calls for comfort, flat shoes, and practical bags are ideal. Opt for these chic Louis Vuitton sandals and a velvet Chanel purse for looking luxurious while staying comfortable.
Tour in Vespa around the Lake Como
A trip to Como isn’t complete without hopping on a Vespa. So, what better way to do so than by gliding along the shores of Lake Como?
Even though comfort is primordial for this activity, we’re channeling glamorous Monica Bellucci energy for our Vespa trip. Start your base with a casual white tube top and our pair of silky Jean Paul Gaultier Bermuda shorts for full practicality. For footwear, go for our Fendi embroidered wedge heels to enhance the blooming season, and layer up with our beige Roberto Cavalli leather jacket to keep you cozy when the wind rolls in.
Accessorize with gold jewelry, our yellow Chanel Flap bag, and complete the look with our silky Hermès Carpe Diem Scarf worn as a bandana, transforming your breezy hairstyle into a scene straight out of a classic film.
Stay at Villa Lario
With temperatures rising, a midday splash is highly recommended. We recommend staying some nights at the exclusive hotel Villa Làrio, where its luxurious swimming pool is nothing short of paradise.
If you haven't caught on this season’s craze for mixing prints and patterns, you probably have been living under a rock. However, if you are still not ready for this bold move, beachwear is the perfect place to start. Opt for our pink Burberry Check bikini and throw on our Roberto Cavalli wrap skirt to create a striking pattern contrast.
To protect yourself from the UV rays, grab a navy blue beach hat and carry your sunblock in our Chanel Camellia tote. To tie up the mermaid look, accessorize with this Tiffany and Co. starfish necklace.
Lunch at Terrazza Florence
Having lunch overlooking the gorgeous landscapes of Lake Como, is an activity you can’t miss. Located 35km away from Como, in the small village of Bellario, Terraza Florence is a true summer dream.
For the perfect lakeside ensemble, pair our flowy Gianfranco Ferré white skirt with our scandalous Versace blouse. To balance the blouse’s bold color palette, add this lime-green Hermès Kelly To Go Wallet, perfect for carrying your essentials. Our dainty gold earrings with subtle green accents add a pop of color, while these Dior heels with a braided texture bring a touch of rustic charm to the equation.
