I have finally made it to my second module in Europe, as I am studying abroad in three countries for five weeks in each. I am currently studying in Roma, Italia. I have been here for a little over a week now and I am loving the fashion out here. The weather here is amazing; it’s always in the mid 60’s and as a New Yorker, I am enjoying the warmth in March.
As I walk down the streets of Rome, I see Italians dressed up from head to toe. Italians are always dressed up, even if they are just going out for a cappuccino. I have noticed that despite the warm weather here in Italy, Italians still dress for the season; so because we are in the season of winter but the weather is spring like, Italians still dress like it’s the winter. I look crazy to them walking around in a spring floral dress while they’re still in puffer jackets and peacoats.
I went to a cafe with this Fashionista in Roma in between classes. She stood out to me because she was wearing a color other than black. She wore an olive green dress with a camouflage vintage jacket from a thrift shop with black/golden flats to spice up the olive dress and jacket. She also wore some basic bold sunnies because like I said, Italy is sunny and warm almost every day. It was quite refreshing seeing some color on someone seeing as the weather is too beautiful right now for black.
This Fashionista says that black is the way to go in Roma: black slacks, black booties and black peacoats—you name it. However, she decided to spice up her look today. Her favorite places to shop here are Zara and MANGO. She recommends that I stick to booties and black denim while I’m in Roma.
