Italian Chic Fashion Feature - March Issue
Italian Chic
Italy is known for its chic fashion and with Il Festival Italiano taking place at Lakeside Shopping Centre during April including spectacularly choreographed fashion shows from the 12 to the 15 April, there has never been a better time to think about glamorous dressing for that special occasion.
If you want to achieve a sophisticated Italian look for a special occasion then a trouser suit is a great option. Italian style is all about immaculate tailoring, which is exactly what you’ll find at Lakeside. Try T.M.Lewin, Zara, Principles, House of Fraser or Debenhams for a fabulous selection of tailored trouser suits.
For a funkier take on the suit go for a jacket and culotte set, teamed with a gorgeous cami top, which you can pick up from a variety of Lakeside stores including Top Shop and Wallis.
If you have a heavy upper body, then this season’s tunic tops are a must-have. Team with wide leg, well-tailored trousers and glitzy heels to complete the outfit. Monsoon at Lakeside is stocking fabulous tunic tops in one of this season’s key hues, mint green.
A great way to achieve the designer Italian look is to indulge in fabulous accessories. Shoes need to be high heeled and bags need to be big – the bigger the better! Choice Womenswear on Brompton Walk at Lakeside has a great selection of Italian brands, so why not splash out on some Gucci shoes or a Prada handbag for that special occasion?
From 1st April to the 30th April, you'll be able to experience the tastes, sounds, style and sophistication of Italy with a month-long celebration of Italian culture, food, fashion and fun.
Each week will be dedicated to a different aspect of Italian life – from family activities in the first week, to four days of fashion to a week dedicated to Italian cooking starring celebrity chef Aldo Zilli – making this a must- see event.
