How to Dress Like an Italian Woman on Holiday

Planning a trip to Sicily means hot summer days, cool evening breezes, breathtaking beaches and stylish Italian women gracefully walking through picturesque seaside towns. 

A refined yet simple elegance is key in Puglia, where centuries-old olive groves and whitewashed hill towns, meet hundreds of kilometres of Mediterranean coastline. 

Don’t be fooled by the neutral colours of this region, the cities are vibrant and the people colourful. So don’t be afraid to dip into many different hues of your favourite colour. Accessories should be kept neutral though, you want to avoid clashing with any prints or patterns.

The island of Sardegna boasts beautiful turquoise waters, fine sandy beaches and, a rich heritage worth exploring. Some of its beaches are world famous for their pink sand made of fragments of coral and seashells that wash ashore. 

The Amalfi Coast is all about sheer cliffs and a rugged shoreline dotted with small pebbled beaches and pastel-coloured fishing villages. The warm coloured cliffs and multicoloured towns of the Amalfi Coast call for stylish outfits with earth tones, oranges and yellows. White linen paired with rusty oranges, warm beige and light browns are a way to maintain the harmony with your surroundings.

If you don’t have a pair of the traditional Positano leather sandals, make sure you get one - or two pairs - while you’re there. In the meantime, you can add a touch of elegance by wearing our newest Livia ballet flats in saddle. Add a Mini Crossbody Clutch in orange for a Mediterranean pop of colour, and never, ever forget to bring a wide selection of stylish bathing suits!
