– an ultra-FEMININE handbag:
Because fashion and leather goods are so famously produced and appreciated in Italy, Italian women are often seen with beautiful handbags. The ultra-feminine handbag, that compliments the wearer and also gives a nod to the fashion world, is the most common. It doesn’t have to have a logo or be any certain price, but the focus is on quality and craftsmanship. You can find some unusual designs of top handle bags via sites like Mirta, an online shop that sources handbags, clothing and and accessories from artisans around Italy.  Check to make sure your handbag comes with a long strap or buy an add-on strap so you can style the bag as a shoulder piece or cross body bag.

– a signature COLORFUL piece:
GO for the color: a colorful piece will make any outfit pop, so make it a piece that you really love and that is ‘yours’, and it will become the  perfect signature colorful piece in your collection. Italian women aren’t afraid of a pop of color and you’ll certainly see them while walking around in Italy. Whether it is a colorful handbag, scarf, blouse, or a red leather anything, as long as it is a beloved item, it will get a ton of use and compliments!

– big SUNGLASSES

When people think of fashionable Italian women, one of the first fashion staples that comes to mind is a pair of stylish sunglasses.  No matter the time of year, an Italian woman is not without her sunglasses!  Both practical and fun, this is one item to take note of and have in your handbag at all times.  Having a couple different pairs and (big!) sizes is ideal so that you can change up your looks with one small accessory.  Plus, it doesn’t take up too much space in your wardrobe for such a significant change, right?

– RED lipstick
Red lipstick is a classic, and it is one that you will commonly see on both Italian and French women. If you love a red lip and want to embrace this look, take the time to find the perfect red lipstick for you. There are so many different shades and tones, so you may test a lot before finding the perfect one.. but it’s worth the wait and the find, because you’ll probably wear it over and over again!

– a beautifully TAILORED blazer
A beautiful blazer compliments every outfit, and one that is tailored perfectly to you is a must.  Although we see a lot of tailored clothing in general in Italy, a beautifully tailored blazer is something that you can dress up and downj and always make a statement – like an Italian woman!  The better it fits you, the more confident you will carry yourself and you will also most likely get the best cost per wear out of it.

Italian women know how to dress and make an entrance, so why not take a couple pointers from them when dressing for the streets of New York or your next vacation after COVID?  You will already have a couple of these statement pieces in your wardrobe and can add on more to get that effortless chic Italian style.
