Below we are going to find out which garments and accessories may help to imitate Italian style, and how to match them to achieve enviable looks.

Italian style: the must-have garments

There are not so many garments and accessories that are essential for recreating a true Italian style look, as what matters is knowing how to create classy combinations and choosing designer clothing made in Italy.

Among the absolute must-haves are, first and foremost, two versatile outerwear items capable of giving charm to even the most traditional outfit: the blazer and the coat, the latter of which should preferably be long. These two pieces of clothing can be used both to create layering looks and have street style outfits, and to add a touch of color to outfits.

Another popular clothing item used by Italian women sporting classy looks is the classic T-shirt. Yes, you got it right. This undemanding garment is able, thanks precisely to its simplicity, to give the outfit a sophisticated taste. As for the model, green light to those in white or in delicate and soft colors, even with interesting patterns or, even better, with a logo that attests to the fact that it was made by a prestigious brand.

The black dress

When wearing black dresses, elegance is assured. And this, Italian women, are very well aware of. Precisely for this reason, fashionistas who wish to take inspiration from Italian style looks, absolutely can not miss among the various garments in the wardrobe, a black piece of clothing.

Sheath, shift, t-shirt, chemisier; midi, short or long; in silk, wool blend, leather. The possibilities are truly endless and finding the one that best suits your physique will certainly not be difficult.

The original piece of clothing that can make the look unique and personal

One of the most characteristic hallmarks of Italian style is the presence of a garment or accessory that, due to its color, particular pattern or unique cut, is able to catalyze attention, enlivening the look and making it much more personal.

Again, the possibilities from which to choose are endless, ranging from mini-dresses embellished with baroque motifs to plaid skirts in delicate pastel colors, passing by tweed cardigans with a masculine cut, embellished boots, tote bags in striking colors, and so on.

The must-have accessories

Women's looks inspired by Italian style cannot fail to be completed with certain accessories that, by their very nature, know how to lend charm or give a more sophisticated aura to the whole.

These include sunglasses, a wide brimmed hat, the ever present shoulder or hand bag and, last but not least, the scarf. Of course, all accessories should be designer and high impact.

How to flaunt an authentic Italian style look

Here we come to the most interesting part of the article. Now that you have filled your wardrobe with trendy made-in-Italy fashion pieces, how should you match them to look stylish and irresistible?

For starters, be careful to choose only garments that fit you like a glove. Don't wear pants that are too tight, forming unsightly wrinkles, overly baggy dresses or jackets with sleeves so long that they half cover your hands. The only exception to the rule is oversized garments, in other words, those that deliberately have a large fit. To achieve a wow effect, pair an extra-large outerwear with a suit with the perfect fit, or flaunt an oversized dress by stopping it at the waist with a belt and complementing it with a designer blazer and stylish shoes.

Second, aim for garments that are able to emphasize and enhance your body shape. For example, if you have an hourglass physique, flaunt tight-fitting dresses, while if your physique is an inverted triangle, enhance the décolleté with ample and never excessively indecent necklines and give more volume to the hips with empire-style dresses or high-waisted wide pants.

And finally, pay attention to color combinations. Remember that these can - indeed must - be original, but never excessive or out of place. Avoid rainbow looks, but rather go for tone-on-tone outfits, bicolor or monochrome with a single garment in a contrasting color.
