There’s no doubt that we love French-girl fashion, but lately there’s another country that’s been inspiring our outfits, Italy has some good things going too, just consider that it’s the birthplace of Versace, Fendi, and Gucci (to name a select few). And we’re not the only ones obsessing over Italian-girl style lately.
In fact, a number of our favourite go-to style icons hail from Italy. The ever-notable Chiara Ferragni (with over 12 million followers on IG) and Eleonora Carisi, also inspire us daily. And while we wish we could purchase every single thing they wear piece-by-piece, that may not be the most economical option. So to save us all from going broke, we have a solution: The Italian-girl-inspired Zara capsule. By looking to Italian It girls for inspo, we shopped out their wardrobe essentials on the ever affordable (and newly available) Zara website.
If you feel as though you’ve mastered the French-girl look, or just want to change things up a bit, consider adding a few of these Italian girl staples to your closet this season. With these essentials in hand (or in cart), you’ll be able to create an endless number of stylish outfits that will have everyone thinking “mamma mia!” Start curating your Italian-girl capsule today by shopping our favourite picks from Zara, inspired by the country’s biggest trends.
