"Italians are one of the most fashion conscious people in the world. If you're in Etra, Italy, and you look around, you will definitely see, how elegantly they dress, almost everyday. So, if you really like to dress like an Italian, please avoid really loud colors, and really short skirts. If you want to dress like an Italian woman, first of all, you should choose leather shoes. Mostly high heeled shoes, with preferably leather shoes. The thing you really have to keep in mind, it's really Italian, if you buy a minimally square tailored outfit, which is not loud at all. The women mostly wear knee length skirts, and this is how, this is the only way, how you can get in a church, for example. Most of the Italians, would save, at least, six months, to buy a designer's item. It's really important in Italy, to avoid big patches, embroideries, big logo's and distracting designs. So, all in all, if you wear neutral colors, like black, white, or navy, then you're going to be fit in the city."
