The Most Stylish Cities in the World

Paris, Milan top Forbes list

Share

(Newser) – Weighing everything from fashion to architecture to street life, Forbes rates the 10 most stylish cities in the world. The best of the best:

  • It doesn’t get any more chic than Paris
  • Milan: “flashy” fashion and cool contemporary design
  • New York: a shopping spree from Brooklyn to 5th Avenue
  • Rome: La Dolce Vita still says it all

  • London: Still the best for street style
  • Tokyo: Cartoon kids
  • Madrid: History meets nightlife
  • San Francisco: from Apple to vintage
  • Barcelona: Gaudi is just the beginning

happy and pretty is different to 'stylish'. this isn't a best place to live in. its more a list of 'best places to be seen in'
