Don’t get surprised to hear that women dress themselves very seriously especially in a country where even the Police is dressed by ARMANI. If you want to fit into Italian clothings you really need to work hard on that. If you're preparing a excursion to Italy shortly, and don't want to be pegged as a visitor, there is one significant thing to keep in mind. The objective is not to merge in. Italian women take great pride in putting themselves together - the bella figura. To show off one's best features is the idea,but where do you begin to obtain that Italian flavor? To sum up, there are 3 key ingredients:
1. Shoes- Nothing makes or breaks a look like footwear.
2. Denim. Jeans have been a wardrobe staple for years, but do you have the "new-aged" ones? "New" meaning trendy and "aged" meaning they have gone through some kind of ageing process do.
3. Crystal nose stud. What once was bizarre is now considered mainstream. This garnish is not what you would see in small-town America maybe; but, this is Rome, not Little Rock.
