There’s something particularly alluring about Italian-girl style. Striking the perfect balance between minimalism and maximalism, the Italians truly know how to dress. They know their way around a fab party frock and

aren’t ones to shy away from mixing prints and colors. Plus, their impeccable street style always serves as inspiration for seasons to come.

In terms of summer style, I like to source my sartorial inspiration on a global scale. I look to Parisian girls for their chic, effortless approach to dressing, while I admire Scandinavian girls for knowing a thing or two about layering bold colors. But without a doubt, Italian women are some of the most stylish in the world, and there’s something about Italian summer style that I just can’t get enough of.

From Milan to Capri, I scoured the Instagrams of Italy’s resident cool girls and rounded up the seven essential wardrobe staples of the summer. (See: relaxed, menswear-inspired trousers; kitten-heel mules; and much more.) Keep reading to check them all out, and of course, shop them for yourselves without making a serious dent in your wallet. Prego!
