was under the impression, that good natural fibers,

FASHION TIPS FROM ITALIANS

In
the feature "The Elements of (Italian) Style," readers learn what's
considered chic by local standards:
1
• Wear what you love. Forget trends -- invest in well-cut expertly
tailored pieces that make you feel gorgeous every time you wear them.
2•
Don't be afraid of color. Wearing a deep
yellow, blue, green or pink dress shows confidence, especially when paired with
shoes in a second bold hue.
3•
Men can and should wear white. A white tux in a classic, masculine cut
never goes out of style.
4•
Mixing prints means depth, not disaster. Prints can look bold, yet
balanced, when they share the same color palette.
5•
Do one thing beautifully. Italians find a look that works and make it
timeless.
6• Choose natural adornments. A flower, a leather belt
and a linen handkerchief turn a pinstripe suit into a statement.
7•
When it comes to jewelry, more is more. Simple necklaces, bracelets and
rings become dynamic when stacked together.
8• Socks matter. Great style is in the
details, so a fashion-conscious Italian won't rest until he or she has found
the perfect socks, watch, scarf and belt.
