How to Wear Your Bag Like an Italian Woman
2.
With prints
Most Italian women love bright colours and prints. I like to think that our love of colour stems from our sunny climate and friendly disposition. Finding a print that will look good on you isn’t always easy and I would say is my biggest struggle when it comes to fashion. I tend to shy away from large flowers and large patterns, as they can be quite punchy if you’ve picked the wrong print, so I stick with smaller prints and I always choose colours that I know will look good with my skin tone. When choosing which bag to wear with prints consider this, prints will always look better with a small bag – a clutch or crossbody – as you don’t want your bag fighting for attention than the print. As far as colours go, I would recommend a solid colour – pick a colour that either matches one of the colours in your print or looks good with the print, and if in doubt, go for the neutral of all neutrals: tan.
