»» To Not Look Like a Tourist

25

By continuing the series “Dressing like Italians”, a request of advice on a specific topic was asked by Carla, from USA:

Hello, I am an Italian American and I will be visiting Italy next year.  Can you tell me what the common fashion trends are for girls in their 20s.  I do not want to look like a tourist…

1. Firstly, when it comes to wearing habits, a secret to not look like a tourist while you’ll stay in Italy, is to place emphasis on importance of details.

In the Italian people’s culture of style, big emphasis is being placed in the care of details, whether dressing casual clothes or formal dresses.

2. Italians girls in their 20s usually wear casual but good quality clothes, sometimes by fashion designers. D & G is one of the favourite labels from Italian girls. Italian girls wear casual clothes during the day as well as for dining at restaurant or attending to meeting or parties (unless formal dresses are required).

A common fashion trend is represented by the low waisted Jeans model Cuffed hems

3. One more suggestion: don’t exaggerate with designer clothing and with jewelry.

Finally, in my opinion, it does not matter ‘to not look like a tourist’, but you feel yourself comfortably dressed. Italians like foreigner people who preserve their own wearing habits while vacationing in Italy.
