“Italians don’t just love glamour, they believe in fashion”

What do Italians ​normally wear ​every day?

Italy is traditionally one of the big fashion nations in the world. ​Milan is one of the "Big Four" fashion capitals of the world during ​the Fashion Week events. A long list of big brands and personalities ​of fashion come from Italy.


Most Italian women love to be fashionable. They have a remarkable ​ability to match their outfit for every occasion. Italian men are ​among the most fashionable men in the world. This fact comes from ​the Italian Renaissance in the 14th Century. For the Italian culture ​the meaning of fashion is about expressing personal appearance, ​confidence and, of course, status.

Italian Characters

There are famous Italian costumes such as Arlecchino or Pulcinella which originated in "commedia dell'arte", in other words, in Middle ages theatre. They are also used for events and in theatres even today.

Folkloric Attire

It would be an endless folkloric attire catalogue of Italian culture if we mention each traditional costume because there's a big historical heritage. Most European dresses over the centuries have taken as inspiration the fashion style of Italian communities.


Nowadays folkloric costumes are used only for carnivals, folkloric events or special events.
