This Italian It-Girl Is Your New Style Muse
French women are consistently referenced for having great style—and while we would never argue against that (we’ve dedicated countless stories to figuring out how to adopt a Parisian vibe), we feel like Italian women deserve just as much kudos. Fashion has deep roots in Italy—it is home to some of the most established luxury fashion labels in the world (Prada, Valentino, Versace, and Dolce Gabbana), and some of the most stylish. Maybe the reason why so many Italian women have inspiring style is because of the calibre of designers at their fingertips—or maybe style and flair is just ingrained in them from an early age. Whatever the case may be, we’ve been crushing seriously hard on Italian style lately—most predominantly, on stylist and It-girl, Diletta Bonaiuti.
Bonaiuti is snapped at fashion weeks around the globe, and it’s her effortless outfit combinations that makes her stand out. She has the ability to throw on a pair of jeans, and make them look seriously expensive. What can we learn? She’s the master of the finishing touch. A statement pair of sunglasses (rather than the same pair with every outfit), the way her jacket is styled, or how she layers different lengths. Keep scrolling to see for yourself, and shop some pieces to get her look!
When in doubt, always go for jeans and a bright top.
Red ankle boots makes this simple look feel very current.
Now this is how you do all black.
How to give a simple top and skirt combo an elevated feel? Add a beret and over-the-knee boots.
Remind us why we haven't thought of pairing a slip dress with mom jeans yet?
Don't neglect the importance of accessories—the slides and sunglasses make this look really special.
