Style Secrets From Italian Style We Can All Use

Ciao everyone! Since my french girl style/how to dress like a french woman video was so popular, I've decided to tackle how to dress like an Italian woman. Italian women's style is very slow fashion oriented, so I hope you enjoy these easy tips to dress with Italian style!

As always, thanks for watching!

Ciao everyone! Popping on because I've noticed some comments around the women of colour I use as style examples in this video. As a creator, it's important for me to share inclusive inspiration across all cultures, body shapes, and abilities. You'll see this in my other videos as well, and as always i'm grateful for your support and encouragement! xx

I'm italian and while I admit to lack in style, I can confirm some of the points you've shared. I come from a small village in the country, and my grandparents were farmers. They were covered in mud during their job, but it was mandatory for them to dress up when going to the village, at church, or to the bar. They had good suits and they were always using them, not just on special occasions. Many years ago my grandmother went to the photographer and asked for a photo to be used on her tombstone, because "I do not want to look sad, old and ugly, I want to be remembered smiling, dressed with my beautiful floral shirt, looking as young as I can". And she was right, she has a marvellous photo, she is elegant even after death

I have to say that, even though everyone goes on about French style, I actually feel Italians are better dressers. I’m Spanish and have lived in England for years. I have been to Italy and France on holiday many times. I have never seen an Italian badly dressed. I cannot say the same for other nationalities. Once you leave the cities, people are not that well dressed in my opinion. I hope I don’t offend anyone by saying this but it is what I feel.

When I was in Venice, I met a very tiny old Italian lady whose apartment was close to our hotel and she was always put together. It was so nice to see how elegant and fashionable she was.

While in Italy I noticed how fantastic the men look. A great and fresh haircut, and beautiful shoes, coats, and suits. 👏👏👏

And the italian nonnas? With their beautiful bags, and coats and pearls, and gorgeoussss grey/silver hair❤️

I have never noticed how much efforts we put in our image and outfits until i went abroad for a few weeks, i always stood out with people looking at me, but i couldn't understand why, then a friend asked me why i dressed so elegantly every day and i was so perplexed because to me those were normal outfits, nothing too extravagant. She then asked how many hours a day It took and i just couldn't not laugh, sorry dear but i wake up and in half an hour i'm ready, no stress at all

Yes!! When I was younger, I had a friend who had a very special and sophisticated way of dressing, unlike the rest of our group of 20-somethings. It wasn’t until now that I remembered she would annually visit her family in Italy. She, indeed, had that ‘bella figura’ style down pat. So lovely.

Ya know, although I have enjoyed the all the French woman style videos it’s about time we see some other nationalities. Italian women are definitely elegant and very confident in their looks....yes, especially shoes. My father (Italian) loved good leather Italian shoes and the apple has not fallen far from the tree. And I agree, we do not go out for anything without being properly and thoughtfully dressed. I can’t believe how many women go to the grocery store in sweats or leggings, often too tight and see through with a short top. A little effort put into your appearance makes you feel more confident and happier. Thanks as always....YOU LOOK GREAT!

Haha, I love that rules have never applied to Italians. I had a friend who was Italian, he would park anywhere (in America) and I would tell him that this wasn't a parking spot, and his response was "Of course it is, anywhere I park is a parking spot."

[juliewillard]

I have been to Italy many times and the men and women in Rome dress beautifully. Even the guards on the trains look chic. I honestly think the Italians are better dressers than the French. I would wear all of these clothes if only I had her figure!

[yvonnetracey]

OMG! I thought I was a French Girl when in fact my style is Italian. You just opened my eyes. I have a quite a few pieces you demonstrated in my closet. I don’t have to buy anything. Even the handbag and shoes. Please do more Alyssa

Wow I love watching videos of how women dress in other countries. I'm from the UK but definitely don't dress like from the UK. I'm much more French/Italian in style. Unfortunately when you live in an environment where a lot of people are sloppy and ultra casual in their dress sense, you're instantly overdressed already if you dress how I do lol. But I refuse to reduce the elegance, and don't have a care in the world if I stand out, if anything I'm just happy to inspire those around me. I think the Italians have it spot on with looking good even just for small things, I can totally relate to that and I think it should be done a lot more. Thanks for making such an awesome video, I look forward to seeing more.

I love love love how Italian women dress! I always admire them when I visit Italy, but I still have no clue how to recreate that special vibe. I wish there were more videos about it, because I've searched before "Italian style", but the results were only along the lines of "how not to dress as a tourist in Italy". Really hope many more videos on this dress sense will come out, because imo it's simply divine.

[adrianaabate]

As an Italian woman, I think you got the point. The secret is about a certain balance between "being appropriate" (every situation gas certain unspoken rules) and "be yourself" (well-dressed woman are rarely BASIC, but they have distinctive elements that focus the attention)

[valentinaghidini]

Hey, italian here! I absolutely agree with (almost) everything you Say, except the heels! I invest in good quality shoes, but they are always flat, and I think that most women (especially in younger generations) are more interested in being able to walk comfortably rather than in showing off some crazy heel. Moreover, in general, we also avoid too-sporty outfits: if One goes outside the house, One must be presentable (even for just going to the supermarket).

I think there are also big differences between the style of northern and southern women: I am from Milan, and I do believe that my style is more minimal and classic (almost french) with respect to the trends from southern italians.

Anyway, nice video!

Red shoes can always turn drab into fab!!!
As usual, all of your looks are amazing.

[juliecatalini]

Loved that Alyssa!!! Yes please do another video showing essential items in an Italian wardrobe. French style gets lots of attention which I've been drawn into however your video highlighted for me the flair and interest that Italian style has, and that really appeals to me. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and mind! 💜💜💜

[jacquelinedepace]

You have perfectly captured the essence of Italian style. Quality over quantity is key. Italians also love natural fabrics like linnen in summer and wool in winter. Love your videos, and yes please do a part two.

[sophie]

I think you nailed the italian style! I'd love to see a part two! <3
