This article is my take on how to dress like an Italian woman.
I’ve had a lot of requests to decode the style of Italian women.
I’ll start with the concepts and guidelines that motivate Italians to dress in the way they do.
These aren’t rules since I don’t believe that rules apply to personal style. It’s all about doing what makes you happy, and rules have never applied to Italians.
How You Look Is Very Important
When it comes to dressing like an Italian woman, I believe the first underlying concept that truly forms the foundation of everything else is the enormous value placed on how you look and show yourself to the world.
Even if she’s simply going out to get milk, an Italian woman looks stunning.
This begins at a very young age and has nothing to do with the wearing of designer labels or really expensive clothing. Simply put, it signifies you’re well-dressed.
Your clothing are spotless and fit perfectly. It’s known as “la belle figura,” which means “beautiful figure.” It’s putting your best foot forward and putting your best face forward.
Harmony and Balance
If there’s one thing Italians are good at, it’s finding a sense of balance and harmony in their clothes, whether it’s through color, weight in accessories, or blending prints.
The fact that Italian women choose incredibly sexy and confidence-boosting lingerie contributes to their sense of sexiness and self-confidence. How well your clothing fit and fall on your body is entirely dependent on your underwear.
It’s All About The Fit
Fit is another area where the French and Italian women are extremely similar in that they understand how a well-fitting outfit can instantly transform you from frumpy and unput-together to elegant and sophisticated.
It’s all about understanding how clothes should fall on your body. It could be as simple as finding a seamstress or tailor with whom you can collaborate to make minor adjustments to your off-the-rack items so that they are better suited to your body.
Basics of High Quality
Italians value quality basics, so even when they add a lot of flair, there’s always a lovely aspect of classic lines, timeless fabrics, and rich fabrics.
All of these subtle nuances of the high-quality fundamentals shine through, resulting in a sophisticated and elegant look.
It’s more of an ingrained thought process in choosing a timeless piece that they know they’ll wear for years to come and then taking excellent care of it so that it lasts.
Statement-Making Piece
Italian women have a distinct sense of style, which is aided by the fact that they always include a statement or elevated piece in their ensemble.
Maybe it’s a pair of stunning statement earrings paired with something more casual.
Using your evening wear jewelry or evening wear items and seeing if you can incorporate them in a very balanced and harmonic approach to your normal looks can easily obtain that elevated piece as part of your everyday look.
Putting On Display What You’re Most Proud Of
Italian women know how to emphasize the body parts they want to draw emphasis to.
If they’re proud of their cleavage or bust, they’re going to show it. Always in a stylish manner, with the rest of the look remaining balanced.
But it’s all about having that sense of confidence and not being afraid to show what you’re most proud of.
This is very unique, and it’s something we should aim to incorporate more into our regular attire. Instead of focusing on the parts of your body that you want to hide and conceal, I believe that you should start by focusing on the parts of your body that you want to showcase and enhance.
As a result, clothing becomes a more pleasurable process. Then you’ll feel like you’ve got a little more Italian flair.
To emphasize, balance is almost like part B. When a specific part of your body is highlighted, such as a really short hemline to show off your legs, the upper body is hidden.
Heels Everywhere
This next one is absolutely hilarious. It is common to see Italian women wearing heels. Even when they’re on their bikes riding on the cobblestone streets they’ve got a little heel.
Wearing a heel as often as feasible, whether it’s a platform or a block heel, elevates a look in my opinion.
It’s crucial to note, however, that the street style group does wear sneakers, flat boots, and other practical footwear.
Perhaps the newer generations are altering this, but I thought it was still worth mentioning.
Footwear of High Quality
However, since I’m on the subject of heels, I’ll go on to my next point, which is footwear.
They invest money on high-quality footwear. This does not imply that you are a designer. It simply implies that they are aware of top quality footwear that is both comfortable and fashionable.
Accessory of Superior Quality
This is an excellent lead-in to my second point, which is the importance of high-quality accessories in general.
A good pair of shoes isn’t the only quality that Italian women value. A stunning quality handbag truly completes and completes a look.
When Italian women walk about, I’ve heard that they always look at two things first: your shoes and your bag. Then they look the rest of the ensemble.
Sunglasses are another crucial accessory, just like shoes and bags.
Italians know how to play with proportions and silhouettes to add drama to their look, just as they know how to balance and harmonize print and color.
This deliberate use of different silhouettes and toying with proportions results in a well-put-together look with a sense of flair and drama.
This, once again, has nothing to do with purchasing for those particular items. It’s all in the way they style and wear them.
