Luckily for me Italians are an open bunch and were very welcoming when I approached them to take\u00a0a picture. The majority of the snaps were taken on the streets of Bologna<\/a>\u00a0and Padua<\/a>\u00a0with the styles perfectly representing the laid back nature of the cities.<\/p>\n Italian style is distinctive in its appearance, defined by its nonchalant nature\u00a0and dedicated to achieving sprezzatura<\/a><\/strong>. In simple terms, if you go to Italy and try to act cool you’ll be found out very quickly.<\/p>\n “Sprezzature – a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought to\u00a0it”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Italian style is much more diverse\u00a0than many people come to assume, with regional nuances adding variety and characterising local tastes. One thing that I found interesting is that commitment is everything and the old saying of ‘beauty requires sacrifice’ rings\u00a0very true here.<\/p>\n No matter the weather, scarves and wool jackets are\u00a0always an option and a dog is probably the most diverse ‘accessory’ one can have with them.<\/p>\n One key take away from Italy is that dedicating time to think and experiment with outfit ideas is the key to looking stylish without any apparent effort.<\/p>\n Just as important is the careful selection of\u00a0style\u00a0rules you’re willing to break as there is a world of difference\u00a0between knowing the rules and breaking them, and not knowing the rules and\u00a0playing it by ear.<\/p>\n I hope you enjoyed my street style post from Italy.\u00a0What do you think are some of the most stylish cities in the world?\u00a0Let me know by leaving a comment below\u00a0and check out my latest post from\u00a0MONTENEGRO<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Until next time – Anton<\/p>\n INSTAGRAM<\/a> | TWITTER<\/a> | FACEBOOK<\/a> | PINTEREST<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had some spare time to kill this afternoon so I looked through my ever growing abandoned\u00a0projects pile and discovered a number of photos from my trip to Italy in which I tried to practice the art of street style photography and approach strangers in the hope of capturing their look of the day.
