30 Chic Pieces I’m Inspired to Buy After My Italy Vacation
Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
I recently went to Italy for the first time, and my trip was nothing short of extraordinary. I’m still reminiscing about the picturesque landscapes, beautifully intricate art, and delicious food. The country has so much to offer, but the impeccable fashion takes the cake. I spotted so many on-trend pieces while roaming the streets of Rome and Capri, including linen dresses, silk scarves, and chic Italian handbags. As soon as I returned home, I decided to curate the ultimate list of Italy-inspired must-haves that every fashion person will appreciate. I may be back in New York City, but I can shop like I’m still in Italy—and now you can, too.
