The Best Things About Italian Fashion

Guest post by writer Emily Jones.


Italian fashion is different from fashion anywhere else in the world, and while I am also slightly biased, it is arguably the best in the world.

Thanks to the quality, the ‘Made in Italy’ name, the leading brand luxury names, and the pure style, it is famous internationally. Many people want that certain effortless elegance found in Italian fashion for their own style. 

Here are some of the best things about Italian fashion that you can also adapt to your own wardrobe…

Leather artisans

Italy is one of the largest manufacturers of leather in the world, and quality leather pieces are a staple in any Italian’s wardrobe. A leather jacket, a belt, a wallet, shoes, a handbag. You can also find leather travel bags that are perfect for any journey.

It’s easy to spot leather pieces in Italian fashion which are high quality. For artisan pieces that are 100% Made in Italy, you can check out websites like Mirta for example, which has authentic handmade leather bags that look beautiful and that will last a lifetime. Not to mention it’ll be a one of a kind since these beauties come directly from Italy to you!

 

Bright colors and prints

Italian fashion does not shy away from bright colors and prints. A couple popular prints right now are geometric patterns and animal prints, and bright colors are really always popular. While neutrals are popular in the UK, Italian fashion is infused with color and a pop of personality. Italian women (and men) are not at all afraid to play with color and prints, and you will see color paired with color in Italy and outfits that really make a statement!

Statement pieces

Statement pieces really show your personality and tie an outfit together. They can really be whatever you want them to be, from a powerful jacket, oversized sunglasses, statement earrings, a statement shoe, etc. 


Embracement of our bodies

While it is easier said than done, Italian fashion is really driven by one thing: confidence in your own skin. So when pulling your wardrobe and looks together, focus on embracing your body and highlighting what makes you, you

 Black done beautifully

Black is a classic color and a neutral that instantly makes your outfit look more put together and elegant. So on the days when you aren’t quite sure what you want to wear or you want that confidence boost, embrace the all-black outfit or black pieces to top it off and walk out in style. 

Handmade high quality 

Quality is an essential part of Italian fashion, and you’ll find handmade high-quality products everywhere. There is more of a focus on quality over quantity in an Italian wardrobe, and this also means opting for more classic options that you will love and wear for years to come. 

Italians have a style that you can’t find anywhere in the world, and while the UK has some good fashion too, nothing will beat Italian fashion!
