Italy is the perfect place for picturesque coastlines, and the dolce vita lifestyle we all dream of. Speaking of the perfect landscapes and views for beautiful photos. Whether you’re wandering through the art-filled streets of Florence, sipping espresso in Milan, or soaking up the sun along the Amalfi Coast, your style should be just as unforgettable as the country itself.

So, let’s talk about what to wear in Italy this season—because you deserve to look and feel as chic as a local while embracing all the beauty Italy has to offer.

I always love making moodboards of the places in Italy I’ll b visiting. These help me not only envision my trip and activities we’d want to do while abroad, but also help me plan my outfit color palette more seamlessly.

Fashion Like Fine Wine pro tip: complimenting the landscape with similar color tones is a must for beautiful photos so here are my style recommendations for summer in Italy.

Floral Maxi Dresses

First things first, we need to talk about floral maxi dresses—the ultimate staple for your Italian getaway. It’s that dress you throw on and immediately feel like you belong in an Italian film, draped in sunshine and surrounded by beautiful landscapes.

I love a heavy patterned floral dress or a lightly patterned blue and white floral dress depending on the location you’re visiting in Italy. Pair it with sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, and you’re ready for anything—from afternoon gelato to an evening aperitivo by the sea. Floral maxi dresses are light, breezy, and perfect for the laid-back yet chic vibe that Italy is all about.

Braid-detailed Mini Dresses

Braided-detail mini dresses—a trend that’s totally made for Italy’s sun-drenched afternoons. There’s something so effortlessly chic about a dress with a little extra detail. Braided straps or woven textures bring a sense of texture and playfulness to your look, while still keeping things sophisticated enough for a casual lunch at a trattoria or a stroll through a scenic village.

Whether you choose a simple white mini with intricate braiding or a colorful version that pops against Italy’s vibrant streets, these dresses embody the chic, carefree vibe Italians do so well. Style it with sandals or even a pair of thong kitten heels for that perfect blend of laid-back glam.

Thong Kitten Heels

Speaking of kitten heels, they’re having a moment, and Italy is the perfect place to rock them. I mean, think about it—Italy is all about walking, and you want to look fab while doing it, right? Enter thong kitten heels, the perfect fusion of comfort and style. These shoes offer just the right amount of lift without compromising on ease, making them ideal for those long days spent exploring museums, art galleries, and the endless charming streets.

Whether you’re pairing them with a braided mini dress or a flowy summer skirt, thong kitten heels are effortlessly chic and oh-so-Italian.

Fashion Like Fine Wine Pro tip: You’ll look polished without sacrificing comfort, which means you can take that leisurely stroll to the gelateria in style.

Beaded Bags

Beaded bags are your new best friend. These bags add a fun, tactile element to any outfit and inject a little personality into your look. Whether it’s a colorful, oversized beaded tote for beach days or a delicate, hand-beaded clutch for evening outings, these bags are a statement piece that ties everything together.

The best part? Beaded bags effortlessly transition from day to night. Wear one with your floral maxi dress for a breezy daytime look, then swap it for a more intricate beaded clutch when you’re sipping cocktails at sunset. It’s the perfect accessory to add that extra pop of personality to your ensemble.
