Heading to the Italian Beach!
For many Italians, Ferragosto is associated with a day at the seaside. The long weekend offers the perfect opportunity to escape from the city. A swimsuit is essential, along with a long, colorful dress to look perfect until sunset and beyond. If you're planning to spend a whole day at the seaside in August with your family and friends, take the opportunity to wear your bikini or swimsuit with a pareo or kaftan, and then to create a refined look, focus on a spectacular print for both the swimsuit and sarong, and add jewel details to elevate the beach look to match the evening setting. This summer, popular choices include postcard prints, such as the Portofino Print from Dolce & Gabbana or their famous Majolica Mediteraneo prints. Alternatively plain linen from Loro Piano combined with stylish Prada Beach Bag.
Off to the Italian Mountains?
In mid-August, spending time in the countryside is a great idea. Whether you're at a farmhouse or having a picnic on the lawn, it's important to have the right outfit. Some key items to consider are trekking boots or robut sneakers such as from GEOX, shorts, jacket, T-shirts, and a cap to protect your eyes (here from Prada). Embrace shorts with combat boots for a timeless and versatile summer look. Pair them with a cropped t-shirt for a touch of character. You can pair your sneakers later for the evening with a long linen dress or skirt.
Ferragosto - Summer in an Italian City? No problem!
Mid-August in the city: a practical and heat-proof look.
It's better to pencil in a simple day in the city, perhaps a lunch at home with friends or a meet up on a roof terrace at one the Luxury Hotels. To stay stylish and comfortable in the summer heat, we continue to recommend linen dresses or skirts such as from Bruno Cuccinelli. Paired with versatile flat sandals, here from GEOX and colorful earrings. This outfit can also transition easily for an evening aperitif: just add an embroidered raffia bucket bag to elevate the chic factor!
Or you feel a bit more colourful. Short dresses or short and shirt combination accopanied with the ultimate glamour bag - here the Raffia Bag from Prada and statement jewellery works beautiful for a city outing.
