Spotting an Italian on the street-style circuit is easy. That’s because said Italian is most likely the first to be noticed, and the top choice for a sartorial subject in every style paparazzi’s lenses. Our fashion icon of choice, Chiara Ferragni – epitomises this brand of va-va-voom style – super on-trend, body conscious, sexy with a twist, and beautiful. With her sexy sophistication, she is a role model for fashion-forward socialites everywhere. There’s just something about her way of dressing that’s immediately, distinctly Italian – elegant yet glamorously sexy. And considering how the Italians are often regarded as some of the world’s best-dressed folks, this is definitely a screen-capture-and-keep list for spot-on Italian moda.

Because that’s what (young and old) Italians do – at night, in winter, indoors. Fendi’s this season are a hybrid of cat eyes and round lenses, winged with graphic wave motifs, while Gucci continues to roll out variations of oversized, embellished frames. Whatever you choose, make sure they’re sturdy and cover half your face – just like how the Italians like theirs.
