As we continue my comments on Italian Style - a friend of mine sent me an e-mail with a few of her opinions - and trust these are only opinions, Style is of course what you make it.
Note that Italian women do not wear flip-flops while parading the streets like a model. Flip-flops, in the picturesque and magnificent Italia, are viewed as only footwear for only the beach, a nail shop for getting your toenails done and for the health spa. So, only wear them to spas, beaches and nail shops.
Do not wear gym sneakers. They are considered to be a fashion passe in the world of France fashion and etiquette. No Italian woman nor man would ever wear this kind of shoe, under any circumstances. The women wear brands like Converse or Diesel which are more of a pluralistic street sneaker with different colors, designs, and fabrics.
Avoid the short, short clothes. Miniskirts, micro-miniskirts, short shorts are a no-no. Italian women do not wear that as in old times and of today, that shows distaste and symbols prostitution. You can still wear shorts, but only to the beach and spa.
Do not put the hair up. Italian women do not wear their hair in a ponytail. It is viewed as a fashion faux pas because rarely an Italian women has her hair up. And women, according to Italian men and tourists, are more wolf-whistled and cat-called when their hair is down and about.
