4 Style Mistakes Italian Women Never Make

We talk a lot about style from around the globe here at Who What Wear. There's just something about the looks of foreign lands that never ceases to pique our curiosity. From the polished notes we see in British fashion to the romantic details French girls love to the Scandinavian girls who seem to start every major trend, there are so many covetable aesthetics out there.

But today I'm focusing on the group I consider to have the coolest style in the world: Italian women. There's just something about their bold, alluring style that I find myself wanting to emulate constantly. If you take a look at all of the fashion people I follow on Instagram, Italians make up the highest percentage. To dig deeper into what makes their style so special, I tapped a few of my favorite style influencers to reveal their best outfit tips. Keep reading to find out the four style mistakes Italian women never make. 

"I think Italian girls are not afraid to take a risk, they know how to mix colors and prints which is not always easy," says  Amina Muaddi, owner and designer of her eponymous shoe label (which just happens to be worn by every cool girl on the planet, from Rihanna to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). They never shy away from color, which is what makes Italian-girl style so fun to admire.

Animal prints are the boldest print you could find—in a good way.

Italian model and fashion influencer Erika Boldrin explains, "Italian girls never overdress." They know how to strike the perfect balance when putting together looks, which means pairing printed pants with a basic tank or letting the accessories do the talking while keeping the rest of the outfit simple. 

Talk about a piece that truly goes with everything. 
Black jeans ensure even the most extra of tops feel balanced.
A black sweater does the same for an over-the-top bottom. 

While some fashion cultures want to dress down a party piece for daytime by layering over pants or with a turtleneck underneath, Italian women disagree. "Italian girls wear party dresses only after dark," says Erika. However, once the sun does go down and the party dresses do come out, the Italians go all out—feathers, metallics, sequins, and the like. 

How fun is this dress!?
It doesn't get more Italian than a feather mini dress.

Italian women know the importance of striking the perfect balance of skin—they tend to choose one way of showing skin and stick to just that area. Influencer and singer Patricia Manfield explains: Italian girls "Never overdo it, nudity-wise, and they're subtly sexy—it's either a crazy slit with the whole front covered or the other way around. Or sometimes they like a boss suit with no top under the jacket." The key is to pick one area to expose and balance it out in the other areas.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

Candice Huffine: "Size Does Not Equal Health, and Weight Does Not Equal Worth"

Image Source: Luvlette Born in Washington DC and raised in a Maryland suburb, Candice Huffine did a little bit of everything when she was growing up, from being captain of the cheerleading squad to taking her turn as a pageant queen. "It was 'typical' in a Hallmark movie kind of way, I guess," Huffine tells POPSUGAR. "These details are important to mention because they did influence my life path. I willingly put myself on a stage at every turn - and not always kind ones - to do the things I loved or to follow a dream I had." Huffine, 39, signed her first modeling contract in 2000. She was "determined" to be a model, despite the fashion industry being notoriously discriminatory toward plus-size people. Knowing the odds were stacked against her propelled Huffine even further toward realizing her dream. "When I received a contract as a plus-size model, it unlocked a new mission in me: to not pursue modeling just for myself, but to push har...
