Italian Style Rules
How do our Italian sisters manage to look so casual yet so glamorous? In this week’s issue we take inspiration from glamour pusses Sophia Loren and Monica Bellucci with our pick of stylish pieces to get their chic look.
Tailoring
Invest in good tailoring which fits in all the right places. A well-tailored blazer is a must to skim over hips and flatter curves, while a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers is timeless and chic.

Sunnies
Celeb-style oversized sunnies are a must

Accessories
Buttersoft leather bags and belts, chunky jewellery, embellished shoes – a bit of bling adds a touch of luxury and gives quiet clothes pizzazz

Colour
The style code is simple: white basics for summer (team with tan and gold), black for winter (with a flash of red or animal print).

Makeup
Your new signature look? Red lips, red nails and a slick of eyeliner.
