Join Stasya Miloslavskaya for a stylish day in the city, wearing O'STIN outfits and enjoying the summer vibes.

Hello, I'm Stasya Miloslavskaya. I love summer for long walks in my favorite city and the opportunity to wear stylish clothes: go to a brunch in a summer outfit, stroll the sunny streets, and admire my reflection in shop windows. And of course, going on a date - it's so cool to spend time outdoors in the summer, especially when my outfit is on point. Moscow is the best city on earth in the summer, and I've been to many places to compare. Here you can find entertainment for every taste and budget. Want to go wakeboarding? No problem. Want to watch a movie in an open-air cinema? Here you go. The choice of bars, restaurants, and terraces is huge. And if you don't feel like going out, just relax in the air conditioning and watch TV, which I sometimes do. I love street style. I enjoy watching fashion influencers, but I can't say that I follow trends religiously. I immediately incorporate what I like into my outfits, and something catches up with me later. I remember a few years ago when cycling shorts became popular. My first reaction was, "I will never wear cycling shorts! With a blazer? How is that possible?" But after a while, I looked in the mirror and thought, "I think it looks great!" So, how do I see my perfect day in the city? Wake up without an alarm, calmly prepare breakfast or order it. Meet up with friends, take a walk, sit on terraces, go on a date - these are simple but important joys of life. Style, for me, is a way of self-expression. My outfit depends solely on my mood. I used to consider myself the "ambassador" of all sneakers in the world (laughs). But this summer, I've noticed that I'm wearing ballet flats, sandals, or low-heeled shoes more often. I'm more inclined to wear short skirts and dresses. A new wave has come! The outfits we chose for this fashionable summer photoshoot with O'STIN perfectly matched my inner feelings and mood - they are beautiful, stylish, and cool. I was especially impressed by a gray classic vest with a long skirt and blazer. Incredibly elegant, beautiful, strict, yet sexy. I felt different, and I liked it. I used to never wear long skirts or vests, but this time I asked O'STIN: "Please let me know as soon as these items are available for sale!" I was also impressed by a black bodysuit - a basic piece that is very soft, comfortable, and fits perfectly. And there was a denim jacket with a long skirt and a simple but beautiful two-layer black dress combination. Chic! When it comes to men's style, I like to see men in both formal jackets, loafers, and sneakers combined with jeans and sweatshirts. The key is not to overdo it. It's better to have something missing in the outfit. It's good when a man chooses clothes according to the situation - the outfit should be relevant and appropriate. I prefer walking alone. I put on headphones and imagine myself in a music video - walking, humming, dancing! My inspiring route through summer Moscow starts with Tverskaya because I live nearby. Then I turn into Kamergersky - it's my power spot. I spent four years here while studying at the Moscow Art Theatre School. After that, I walk along Dmitrovka, then towards Trubnaya through a beautiful boulevard towards the Central Market and Chistye Prudy, to Kitay-Gorod, and then down to Hitrovka, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment. When I have a day off from work, I can spend a long time getting ready for a walk. Currently, I'm renting an apartment with a dressing room. I've been dreaming of it for a long time. In my own apartment, I'll definitely create a dressing room like Carrie Bradshaw's. It's important to me that all clothes are visible - it's easier to create outfits and mix and match without having to climb a ladder to find something. In my wardrobe, I mainly have luxury bags and shoes. Whether I love an item or not, it doesn't matter if it's luxury or mass-market. For example, recently I took a light summer dress from a photoshoot. The costume designer couldn't even remember where she ordered it from. And one of my favorite skirts I bought from a vintage store in Thailand. I don't know where it came from or how long it has been there, but I enjoy wearing it. My style, in general, can be described in three words: spontaneous, comfortable, playful. Luxury and mass-market mix perfectly, I'm sure of that. Firstly, I like how it looks and fits me well. Secondly, it's a reasonable balance of price and quality. Although I can buy a t-shirt or a hoodie spontaneously, without thinking. Lastly, it's important for the new item to fit organically into my wardrobe. There are three factors that have to align for an item to become a part of my wardrobe. I have many blazers that save me when I don't know what to wear. Overall, my wardrobe is classic like everyone's - jeans, t-shirts, tank tops. I can't stand pilling on clothes. I ordered a special device, and you know what, I really enjoy getting rid of pills - it's like meditation. Two weeks ago, I did a wardrobe revision and got rid of things that no longer work, don't like, don't represent me, or don't uplift my mood. It was challenging. In some ways, I am indeed similar to Gogol's heroine, Nastasya Petrovna Kurochka - perhaps we're full namesakes (laughs). I think it depends on the situation. When you know the tastes of your loved ones well, you can give them clothes as gifts, but in other cases, it's better to give something else. It's great when a couple at an event dresses in a coordinated style and shares the same mood. When planning to go somewhere together, it's better to discuss the details in advance to match each other and look harmonious together. In my wardrobe, there are clothes that I wore in school. For example, I have a lucky dress - I wore it when I applied to the theater institute and I still keep it as a talisman. I really liked myself in that dress. It was literally an extension of me, my mood, my character - I felt comfortable in it. I don't wear it anymore, but I keep it - it's been 11 years already. I have a lot of clothes that my on-screen characters wear: if I like the outfit, I always take it or buy it after filming and wear it in real life. I can't seem to pull off bracelets and rings. It looks great on others, but it doesn't suit me. Maybe it's just my inner feeling. For example, I bought earrings in winter: they are incredibly beautiful with bow-shaped pendants. And I celebrated New Year's in them - I was very tired, wore pajamas, earrings, ate a caviar sandwich, and went to sleep. At the moment, they are the largest pieces of jewelry I own. I recently did a purge, removed items from my wardrobe that no longer work, don't suit me, or improve my mood. It was difficult. But I always strive for a better version of myself, my style, and my wardrobe. And I will continue to experiment, break patterns, and enjoy the fashion journey.
