BOLD. CHIC. TRENDY. ITALIAN FASHION.
Italy is one of the most known places in Europe for Fashion, from Versace to Prada it all started here. That is why when traveling to Italy, finding trends is one the best things to discover. Many Europeans have fashion sense and don't even know it, but us Americans do! I am going to tell you about the top fashion pieces I saw while in Italy this summer, so keep reading girls...
First, Hair Accessories:
As I walked the streets of Bologna my first couple of days I noticed many women wearing hair accessories. This simple statement makes a huge difference with a simple outfit by adding some flare! Hair scarves can be tied around your ponytail or around your head like a headband. Also, you can even use a regular scarf and tie it around your hair (GENIUS). Barrettes are a thing of the 90's, so I thought! Turns out they are making a comeback in European fashion and I absolutely adore this trend.
Next, Long Skirts:
In Italy and throughout Europe it is hot. Not Texas humid hot, but hot due to walking everywhere almost all day. Therefore, long skirts are the perfect bottom in the summertime due to the versatility and breeziness. I used to think long skirts are only for fancy occasions, I have been proven wrong! These skirts can be dressed up or down for any occasion. I will definitely be wearing these back in Houston, so fashion forward!
Finally, Chunky Sneakers:
Two words, chunky sneakers! Okay this has to be my favorite fashion trend by far. I have always loved being comfortable and Italy has opened my eyes to these shoes being fashionable as well. In Italy, we walk EVERYWHERE. Thus, chunky sneakers are the perfect shoe for any outfit. You can pair these shoes with a dress, long skirt, and even jeans. Perfect versatile shoe, highly recommend investing in a pair!
This is how I incorporated the trends into my abroad outfits...
Hope you are as inspired by the
