A well-cut suit is a worthwhile investment. If you choose wisely, you will be able to wear the jacket and trousers as separates, which makes a careful wardrobe choice go a long way. Any trouser style will do: cigarette pants for those long of leg, highwaisted for the fashionistas among you or tapered if you prefer a more classic silhouette. The key is in the cut. Make sure the suit fits you like a dream and if it doesn’t take it to a tailor—a true Italian will not suffer an ill-fitting outfit.
Accessories are where you make your personal mark. A jewel-coloured scarf, an iridescent silk blouse, a neon pump, some understated yet fabulous jewellery; Italians prefer to personalise with details.
Logos are out. The only thing worth advertising is yourself. Italian designers have been hailed the world over since the heady, stylised days of Elsa Schiaparelli. Referred to by Coco Chanel as “the Italian artist who makes clothes”, Schiaparelli loved to juxtapose colours, textures and silhouettes and is often acknowledged as the designer’s designer. More recently the houses of Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Missoni, Versace, Valentino, Armani and Cavalli have dominated the fashion headlines. Whether it is the subdued chic of Armani or the extravagant glamour of Cavalli, Italian designers retain their pole position at the top of the fashion world’s radar.
追求光鲜体面的外表是意大利人痴迷的执念。忘掉足球、快车和美食吧,这个国家最热衷的消遣是时尚。意大利人生长在bella figura的文化中,这一词直译是指“迷人的身姿”,但更常被理解为“良好的形象”。这不仅仅与你穿什么有关,而是指你“看上去”怎么样:礼节、名声、时尚都同样重要。用何种方式向世人呈现自己极为关键。在意大利,就连警察制服都是由瓦伦蒂诺设计的,连足球运动员的行头都由阿玛尼先生亲自打造,意大利人自打出生开始就认为保持良好形象是最基本的。
