Since the success of my last Italian fashion video, I've been asked for an updated version... here it is :D A look at how Italians dressed through out 2018 and why :) What do you think? se volete aiutarmi con i sottotitoli italiani, ecco il link:) bit.ly/2NzMCUk
Tia, if I'll find some time in the next days, Im surely gonna subtitle this video.. You're so funny, I honestly don't give a single fuck about fashion and still laughed my ass off watching this.. Amazing, ahah!
Just a question.... Why american girls wear leggings with crop tops? Here in Italy we wear leggings with long t-shirts because leggings are a little sheer if you bend and they aren't just like jeans.In my school you can't wear leggings with crop tops.
For non-italian people: guys, this is "how to dress in Milan" not "how to dress like an Italian". Don't you guys think to go in Rome and dressing like that, thinking that you'll be perfectly blended in, because you will not! We Italians tend to have different style in different regions, so please keep in mind that if you decide to follow this tips!
but you have to agree she is spot on....before I make a trip to italy I inquired whats in style...but now that zara is everywhere and I know that most of my family members like to shop there...I go based on what they sell since its so expensive to shop in Italy. By the way ZAra has a both trendy shoes.
non sono d’accordo, vivo a Roma e nella mi zona le persone si vestono esattamente come ha detto lei! Perciò credo dipenda dalla zona, ovviamente nelle zone meno benestanti/periferie dubito ci sia qualcuno che indossi le balenciaga
Sì, in effetti bisognerebbe fare un discorso non solo per regione/città, ma anche per quartiere! Spesso gli stranieri pensano che tutti gli italiani vestano alta moda solo per il fatto di vivere in Italia! Sarebbe una bella realtà da raccontare...
Hi Tia, as an Italian girl who lives near Venice I say that you got the point: Italians think that being classy, elegant and sophisticated is the number one rule. In general I think we don't necessarily follow trends so much, because we think that some of them are so "volgari" 😂 I can totally say that what's important here is being stilish and not always follow temporary trends. Complimenti per il tuo canale, lo adoro! Ps: thank God I've never seen animal prints here!
In Italy the colors are always Navy, Beige, Pana, e nero....its intersting that Italian runway fashion does not reflect the people of its country...Moschino, Dolce, Gucci....are very out there...more american...where American runway....Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors (the ideal Amerian Sportswear)...is more Italians style....but no so much American
mmmh, well middle aged men wear those colours a lot, yeah, but italian fashion is much more complex and often reflects those brands. then of course, those looks are revisitated cause they cost a little too much ahah, but i kinda see myself a lot in those brands.
Ritengo che il fatto che girino molti più accessori/vestiti di marche costose e di lusso sia legato alla diffusione della musica trap in questi ultimi anni. Generalmente i fan di un determinato genere musicale tendono a imitare coloro che producono la musica che ascoltano, copiandone gli atteggiamenti e i modi di vestire. Come ho già detto, la musica trap è quella che va oggi per la maggiore in Italia. Questo genere di musica e i suoi "cantanti" ostentano la ricchezza in maniera a mio avviso esagerata, inserendo continui elogi alla bellezza dei soldi e all'importanza di avercene sempre di più per ... boh, lo sanno solo loro il perché. I trapper quindi, per restare in linea con l'ostentazione della ricchezza, si vestono praticamente solo con capi d'abbigliamento firmati che costano l'ira di Dio. I (ahimè) numerosi fan di questo genere quindi, per imitare i loro idoli, ci tengono a procurarsi almeno uno degli accessori che hanno visto addosso ai loro idoli. Ecco spiegato, in maniera forse un po' troppo prolissa, perché questo trend.
Questo, e anche un piu facile accesso (soprattutto tramite eCommerce) a capi falsificati dei brand di lusso, provenienti soprattutto da Turchia e Cina.
Non so quanti anni hai, ma prima gli accessori costosi e le marche andavano di moda eccome tra i ragazzi... io sono dell'88 e quando andavo a scuola io tutti con le Nike Silver (costavano un sacco!) O le Prada.. Marche in bella vista ecc. E allora non c'entrava proprio nulla la trap.
Le Vans sono un sempreverde, non sono mai andate via e non lo faranno per un bel po'. Sono esteticamente belle e stanno bene quasi a chiunque, quasi con qualsiasi cosa addosso. E' un pezzo sicuro. Come le Converse, sebbene siano un po' meno usate. L'unica cosa è il prezzo veramente alto per due pezzi di gomma e un po' di stoffa che dopo 5 mesi son da cacciare, ma tant'è...
I think the unique aspect about Italian fashion that I like is what you said in this video, where it likes to play off the past. Seeing things that were popular in the 80s/90s today but with a twist. A bit contemporary. I know you said that the fashion trends you see are more based in Milan hence you live there and could differ from other regions but I feel that’s what makes Italian fashion in general show its own individuality. Italy is a seemingly traditional country, so I can see where the general appearance of how Italians dress come from. I really think it’s unique and interesting. Forza Italia!
I'm sicilian and most of these trends are not a thing here and it's so interesting to see how different Milan is from here! Here a lot of teenage girls wear those skinny high waist jeans, but young adults do wear mom jeans. I've never seen a person with a fanny pack who wasn't a middle aged man with those leather ones over the shoulder, Oh and guys wear a lot of flower printed shirts
I would like to know what they are wearing in Sicily. I was there last year and it seemed very boring to...Vans, cut off jeans that was summer of 17...how about now?
@@provvide75 vans are still super popular, I've noticed that young teenagers dress more like American teens, while older teenagers dress more like what tia said. I've seen those sock shoes, but the most popular shoes are white Adidas (don't knoe the model sorry). Then adults just dress boring and plain
Jeez, I'm from Rome and I feel like I live on a different planet! I believe you though, I feel that Milan is the most innovative place in terms of fashion
I'm Italian but I must say....I hate these new trends! Fannypack?! Seriously?! Balenciaga shoes are so ugly, and I still think that animalier is "too much". The "luxurious sportwear" reminds me of the terrible chenille sport suits back in the 2000s that we all regret, so It's out for me too. All these seem to me the kind of stuff that in 5 years we'll see our old pictures thinking "what the hell I was wearing?!".
I’m from the Netherlands and even though Italy seems so far away and different from here i really can relate to these fashion trends. So funny to see that fashion is pretty much the same all across Europe. I loved the video, thanks Tia ❣️
I live in Sicily and I've never seen Balenciagas and fanny packs, thanks God! Also, skinny jeans are still a thing here and honestly I've never liked them so I got rid of them as fast as I could. I personally feel like I have a different style from the other kids my age because I live on IG and Pinterest and I only follow french/canadian/american "influencers" so I was literally the first one in my town to buy a pair of black Vans Old Skool or mom jeans. I don't like to follow trends but I'm so so happy that more comfortable/90's items are now socially accepted lol. I love the French girl style SO MUCH but I'm definetely more casual because practicality and everyday life
I'm Italian and I live in Tuscany..and (thank God) I've never seen 80% of these things 😅😅 I think that Milan is a world apart from the rest of the nation. Btw I get it when you say that Italians have some fashion instinct inside, even if not everybody wears luxury brand clothes!
I went to Italy in June thru till July, around the center regions of Umbria and Lazio (Roma) and one word... PLATFORMS!! Platforms galore!!! I was going through culture shock because here in the US, we don’t wear them and they look almost intimidating to walk in!!
I think American trends are more “come and go”. Things you would like now maybe you wouldn’t in a year. The Italian style is timeless because, as you said, is more classic and sober!!
When I went with my classmates in a cultural exchange in New Jersey, they put us with our American hosts in front of some children of the local school (we went to speak about this project) and they had to recognise who was Italian and who was American. Even if we tried to mix things up, taking off the most "recognisable" things, they literally failed only with one of our classmates, who dressed very sporty so they thought he was American. Since then, I started to take for granted that our style is somehow recognisable for the Americans, even if I don't know exactly how 😂
Abaigeal Fire When I arrived in Italy back in the 80s idk how they did it but everybody and I mean everybody could spot me out as the "Americana" .....they said it was because of the way I dressed, too serious, they dressed very sporty back then...lol
@@MsBaby1959 so true they did, I always laugh (in a good way) when my mom shows me pictures of her childhood and I see how her older cousins and my granny were dressed... The Italian "80s/early 90s" style is often sporty and (for me) quite funny 😂
Abaigeal Fire too true, all cookie cutter styles, no individual statements...lol ;-) another thing they often would tell was, wow! Love your clothes, we didn't think you had such nice clothes in Canada 🇨🇦 (seeing I'm Canadian/Italian)😁
Penso che a Milano siano un po' tutti più fighetti, nel senso balenciaga e marsupio non ne ho visti nella mia città. Quando però sono passata da Milano, mi sono accorta che lì la moda é piu "sentita". Penso che Milano sia un altro mondo ecco e non rispecchi totalmente la realtà italiana ma tu vivi lí quindi capisco perché ne abbia parlato così
Mhh, non definirei Milano un altro mondo perché, dovendo essere sincera, anche qui nella mia zona (provincia di Como) ci vestiamo così e non credo che sia così solo a Como e Milano
@@nyxlu Allora deve essere una cosa tipica lombarda lol, si vede che dove vivo io siamo tutti poracci.. Cmq parlavo principalmente del marsupio e balenciaga.. Per il resto a parte la cintura di Gucci che non ho visto é abbastanza accurato.. Io parlo per la mia esperienza
@@0096jxn nelle grandi metropoli è più facile vedere gente vestita in un modo piuttosto che un altro. E a Milano è risaputo che si sentono tutti più fighetti. Detto ciò come ho già detto io parlo per mia esperienza, ognuno ha vissuto e visto cose diverse🤷
Ok io sono dell'idea che la qualità costi è che si debba pagare. Ma 500 euro per un paio di scarpe da ginnastica? Non ci arrivo. Spiegatemelo per favore
sara caselli se hai mai studiato l’economia marginale saprai che non si paga solo la qualità di un prodotto. Il valore di un prodotto non è assoluto nel l’economia moderna bensì definito marginalmente perché si basa su fattori estrinsechi che ne determinano il bisogno o il desiderio nella domanda di mercato. Esempio lampante è Supreme o il Rolex; non paghi solo la qualità (che comunque è indubbia) paghi altri fattori quali la scarsità, il prestigio che ti conferisce indossandoli etc. altro esempio può essere un calciatore: è giusto che Totti prenda uno stupendio 100volte superiore a quello di un metalmeccanico? Lavora 100volte di più? Ovviamente no, ma le sue qualità uniche rendono la sua prestazione centinaia di volte più di valore di un lavoro che potenzialmente potrebbe fare chiunque
Fede Fili quindi detta in parole povere, le persone sono consapevoli che stanno pagando delle scarpe che qualitativamente sono come delle Nike, per 5 volte il loro prezzo, ma lo fanno a cuor leggero perché le Balenciaga fanno figo.
sara caselli si, in parole povere è così. Solo che la differenza è che quelle scarpe valgono effettivamente di più di un paio di Nike perché hanno alcune qualità (vedi scarsità e status) che la Nike non ha. C’è inoltre da considerare che anche la Nike ha prezzi che non sono rapportati solo alla qualità produttiva. Perché io con 200€ di air max potrei farmi delle belle scarpe da un artigiano che mi durano 15anni e che non hanno paragone con un paio di Nike che mi durano due stagioni al massimo. Quindi bisogna valutare vari fattori. Io ad esempio, essendo imprenditore anche nel campo della moda ho un ritorno in termini di immagine nell’indossare Sneakers da 800€, per cui il costo da me sostenuto è proporzionalmente inferiore all’indotto che in termini di immagine mi procura
Sportswear has even taken over Paris which is surprising considering how strict they are with their effortless classic Parisian style. Seems like Milanese trends are London trends few months/years late with the balenciaga trainers, docs, mum jeans, transparent bags, GG belt, the Dionysus bag, sportswear etc.
Francesca Taddia hai detto proprio una stronzata, Kanye West con Yeezy l'unica cosa che fa è ricopiare, proprio come Off-White. le "sock /shoes/boots" giravano grazie a Margiela anni fa. vedi le varie foto che girano nel profilo ig di @diet_prada
I just can't stop watching you, I even watch videos of yours that are not close to me in topic, just purely because you speak so clearly and beautifully, both in Italian and English! You help me learn Italian too 😍💜
Raga ma smettetela di insultare, ricordatevi che lei va alla Bocconi, quindi è normale che veda gente vestita firmata. Nella sua realtà Milanese è realmente così.
I CAN'T stand sproty trends. As a male, it's particular hard for me to go shopping in Milan these days, at least in the fast fashion shops (I'm broke AF don't judge mehhh). It's just SO against my style, but it's just EVERYWHERE and I don't wanna look like a freaking drug dealer FFS!
i feel like this is the same for america pretty much. on my campus tho, people mainly still wear gym attire, t-shirts, and leggings, and running shoes. birkenstocks and hats are poppin too.
sounds similar to the Netherlands, north face has become a thing here since a few rappers started wearing it, now it's a street style "gangster" kind of look to wear north face when it's def not supposed to be.
Great video! I don't live in Italy so I'm not updated about its trends but I think that about sneakers the black Vans Old Skool in textile are still big. Luxury brands come and go as trends in Italy, in the early 2000s the Prada Americas Cup sneakers were very popular along the Belstaff raincoats and Evisu raw jeans. Funny thing, I never expected the explosion of sportswear in Italy, as an expat that lived in more than one foreign country I noticed that in several european countries sportswear and the funny bag across the chest are associated with uneducated hooligans, especially for brands like Nike, Adidas and Stone Island. American brands in Italy, apart the "immortals" like Nike, they swap often in the trends: I remember in the 90s were big Caterpillar and Carhartt, now there's Supreme. I agree that italians tend to be more sober and safe on what they wear, they care about the perfect size (generally) and to not to look too much weird, despite we'd in the past terrible trends like the Buffalo shoes of the 90s.
I watched this video during my trip to Italy in Oct/Nov 2018 and observed some of what you mentioned here. I noticed old school vans, a lot of black, 90s and 80s fashion, particularly thick soled shoes. I also noticed a lot of women that appeared bare face but for lipstick, mascara, - aka not tons of foundation or contouring which is such a thing here now. Also I noticed many women with their hair natural, like girls with curly hair just left it long out and didn’t appear to have too much product in it so it was big and fluffy. Granted most of our time was in the train and tourist places. I smiled when I saw the balenciaga and their dupes that you mentioned and most notably I noticed many people of different genders, ages, and sizes wearing leather jackets. I got a pair of doc martens and a leather jacket when I got back home, watched a ton of your videos, and as much Italian language Netflix I could find to draw out my “move to Italy” fantasies.
Oooh, we've had the riding boots wave, definitely! I'm so done with 90s/early 00s fashion, I hated it back then and I still do! Can't wait for the next revival shift lol
This video was very interesting!! So many trends in Italy that are also here in NYC!! Found it kind of hilarious when you mentioned north face because I feels it’s always been a go-to here when you want a good coat or jacket
Yessss, it might be the influence of the fashion industry in both cities because in the end the high fashion houses do end up repeating certain themes. I know what we Americans love (and I packed and brought over here only to never wear again 😂).
Can I say that I'm so sick of seeing sweatshirts that say Pyrex on them...lol.......this year I totally loved the floral rompers and jumpsuits and love the chunky heels and short spikes....plus the cross body bags were my favourite accessory this Summer and so glad the chunky costume jewelry is over and done with 😂👍🏻
northface is actually really popular in Milan, but I think only here. Animal print was quite a trend a few years ago (but not a boom) but this year yeah, there are a lot of things with that print
You should make this a series! I'm italian, but I don't live in Milan, so it's interesting to see what they wear there every year and what is trend, since it's a big city for fashion. Nice video!
Soo true! With this video you really get the point. These are the trends in Italy. It is possible to look at all of them and find them in the magazines. 100% true
I was in Italy for 6 monts in 2016-2017 and I saw many students had Eastpack backpacks. I found it really funny because I remember them from my childhood. Almost every one had those in my school back in 2001-2004 (I'm from Finland though). I couldn't afford it. Soon after became Dakine backpacks and then Fjällräven and now Nike but I haven't seen here Eastpacks anymore, maybe some people use it but it's not a trend. So when I saw Italians with Eastpacks I got flashbacks and 8 year old me would have been jealous. When I was a kid there where only just a few models but now they were in every colour and in every print you can imagine. And one other trend was really interesting when I was in Italy: this Napapijri thing. As a Finn it was really weird to see Finnish word with Norwegian flag everywhere. I wanted to buy something from the brand just to make my Finnish friends laugh but it was way too expensive for that purpose. Btw it shoud be Napapiiri not Napapijri and it means the polar circle. I saw other brands as well with nordic flags. I have no idea why that was a thing. But I didn't see any brand with a Finnish flag. Is this flag thing out or is it still "trendy"?
I live just near Milan and I confirm what you said. We try to find the classic in everything, even at school. I hate balenciaga but I've to say that every shop like Primark, Bershka or pull and bear tend to copy them and sell them for 15€ and these are the ones guys usually buy. The few brands that probably everyone wear (also the medium class) are Adidas, Nike, fila, levi's, Calvin Klein and still a few stuff of Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister.
So true! I have an Italian boyfriend and he wears classical stuff and he always chooses "secure" clothes if you get what I mean 😁. I always try to suggest something sporty, a jumper or something different than a shirt and a sweater lol
I've to add that probably more than an "Italian style" there's a European style. I noticed that people in milan (or in northern Italy), as in the South there are less chains of stores so people are more extravagant, dress exactly as people in Paris, Berlin, London exc. As brands are the same in all these cities.
Cool video :> I'm from the south and I'm an high school student. Here guys are REALLY into trap these days so brands like Nike, Adidas, Fila, Kappa, Vans, Puma the north face ect are so big rn (even luxury brands Gucci in particular, even tho they cant afford them) guys even wear retro/women sunglasses! Miniskirts are coming back. Eastpack backpacks is what everyone has at school. Also shoes play a huge role, fancy weird big shoes like NIKE, Fila. It's even better if the color of shoes and clothes is unique. Vintage stuff is a trend too for both males and females. Must have big jeans but also skinny, but NO jegging(IF LEVIS IS WAY BETTER) Hope i helped you somehow, if you wanna know something ask!
the north face used to be really popular here in italy in about 2010 (may be incorrect but in some time around that) when a street/somehow still a little emoish (like people who were still getting out their emo 2007 phase) was a things, or at least here. it never got as big as some others brands that banged in the years but not really unknown
I live in Palermo, so I can't really relate AHAHAHAH never seen any of the things you listed in the video! But I think you are pretty correct in saying that Italians tend to be very "conformative" (yeah I have no idea either if that's a word or not). I'm no fashion expert but I like to experiment with my clothes and I really like sewing and fashion history. During my high school years (more than ten years ago UGH) I really wanted some high wasted shorts or skirts, but since we were about to get out of the low waist nightmare, I was looked at funny because of my shorts and skirts. People though it was "grandma style". And so on with LOTS of things. In my experience, Not many Italians experiment with their clothes, in fear of being deemed ridiculous or yeah, "vulgar". I've been wearing absurd outfits during my teen years and I had a blast doing it. Did I sometimes look ridiculous? Absolutely. "Eleganza" is a good thing, but honestly? Sometimes I just want to dress to have fun. Never had time to worry about what other people think. I got lots of comments for it but I learned to ignore them... especially when I realized that a few years later those same people were wearing the very same clothes they teased me for AHAHAHAH
what I'd like to add is that most italian millennials are broke AF so they only shop at H&M, Zara and such and when you don't have much money to spend you just play safe and go for jeans and t-shirts and spend more on shoes. so we may even love fashion (as I do) but we usually wear simple, classic things. so I feel it's generally hard for us to create a unique, different style so we just go for the things we find in the most popular stores
As i rad in other comments, “italian style” change city by city. If you come to Naples you can see a lots of people following the Americans way of wearing: here people wants to declare themselves and to show their bodies, so everything is more “volgare”. Means this that everyone is individualistic? No, cause a lot of people choose classic/ elegantly clothes. I think that from Rome going down the boot, everyone sees him/her self as something that is unique. So there are unique classic people, unique sportive ones, unique “cafone” ones. Be in the Italian style means understand all of them and choose witch one is the one you fill in. At the end you’re in the Italian mode if you look beautiful, without not-matching colors and, in unique way, not so far away from the standards (of every single sub-stile).
It is funny because I live in Milan but I've never seen some of these trends! But probably because I'm not into fashion and I am older than Tia. But fanny pack?!
essere individualisti, innovativi e leader è un conto. Indossare roba vistosa, stravagante e di cattivo gusto è un'altra faccenda (non per niente abbiamo una parola, "americanata", che indentifica cose e situazioni bizzarre e di cattivo gusto)
In Liguria invece questi trend che ci sono a Milano sono molto comuni, anche nei negozi più grandi o a Genova si trovano spesso e rappresentano quello che va di moda nell’ultimo periodo. Non so se sia solo nel nord Italia o zona Lombardia/Piemonte/Liguria essendo che non sono così conosciuti in altre zone
Tia, that is very interesting in site about Americans being individualistic. My next trip to Italy, I'd probably still stick out like a sore thumb because im thinking everyone dresses like the runways.
One second! In Italy there are different style.Milan is the world capital of fashion and so in Milan the people dress like that,but in the south Italy I don’t think so (sorry for bad English)
Well, as many other pointed out, these are fashion trands that really took off only in Milan and a few other big cities, I know you made a disclamer about this in the beginning of the video but I feel like it wasn’t enough. As soon as you leave Milan you see that people tend to dress in a much more “casual” and less sophysticated (?) way.
Thank you for this video! What are some examples of popular woman’s jeans and shirts? You mentioned not too tight but more straight. I wondered what those look like if you have an esempio per favore?
I'm Italian and if only I had more than a thousand euros I would buy the balenciaga hahahaja, however I think this new style of clothing is also brought by a new kind of music, which now all the kids follow. apart from this, we are close to france, the city of fashion. BUONA GIORNATA! 💘
Credevo che le sneaker Balenciaga e la moda dei marsupi messi tipo a tracolla fossero qualcosa di importato dallo streetwear-sportswear americano, ci speravo...così come speravo che fosse colpa di qualche hipster americano la moda dei risvoltini. In generale odio i trend che portano alla finta ribalta qualcosa che 10 anni fa era considerata da sfigati, perché c'è gente che anni addietro è stata presa pesantemente in giro da chi ora si vanta di seguire sti trend. In più, se una cosa ti sta male, quando finisce il trend di quell'estetica lì avrai solo un capo d'abbigliamento che ti sta oggettivamente da cani. Altro esempio i mom jeans, non stanno bene a tutte (allungano spesso il sedere, lo appiattiscono e fanno spesso difetto davanti, ne so qualcosa, ne cerco uno decente da anni) eppure tantissime li prendono senza pensarci, qualche anno fa eri una sfigata meritevole di sguardi di disprezzo se ti mettevi dei mom jeans, mi fa uscire pazza sta cosa! Idem per il vecchio trend delle Superga, io ho visto alle elementari bambini presi pesantemente in giro per avere ai piedi le Superga, gli stessi bulletti anni dopo alle medie avevano tutti le Superga ai piedi, stesso modello che disprezzavano con cattiveria negli anni passati. Vogliamo parlare poi delle montature degli occhiali? Se c'è il trend puoi prendere la forma più sbagliata per il tuo viso con lo spessore meno adatto e stanno tutti lì ad ammirarti, se non segui la moda invece apriti cielo! Questa parte "tossica" dei trend me li fa davvero detestare.
Il motivo per cui non bisogna seguire la moda come una pecora. Pochi lo sanno fare mantenendo comunque un proprio stile. Per quel che mi riguarda, io non seguo la moda, è proprio una cosa che mi interessa poco. La mia priorità è stare comoda
Hi Tia, As usual, a very nice video! Congratulations! I think your view on italian style and fashion is very accurate and it it’s true that Italians, in general, are elegant but not very adventurous regarding fashion. One particular topic on your video caught my attention. You say that the luxury brand accessories, like belts and bags, are now everywhere to be seen. I’ve also noticed this trend in other countries. My question for you is: do you believe that in a country hit by an economic crisis, like Italy, all those expensive bags and belts seen on the streets are original? Is the luxury brand market really booming? Once again, congratulations. Love your channel.
Although I’m based in Germany, a lot of what you said applies here as well. Germans could also be said to dress up in comparison to Americans, and I a lot of fast fashion companies are Europe-wise. This results in me looking obviously “European” whenever I return to the US for a visit.
The US is not innovative in fashion - just see what people buy at H&M, all the nice high quality and interesting designs are left on sale racks. I think the taste is different, not the innovation or individuality.
Hai assolutamente centrato tutto! Hai dimenticato solo una cosa (o almeno in Toscana dove vivo io va tantissimo) : la marcha Vans, sia per le scarpe Old Skool sia per il vestiario. Sei fantastica, i tuoi video mi divertono molto. Un grande abbraccio da Firenze 😘
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time!! I just arrived in Milan 1 week ago, and I'm shocked at how similarly *most* Italian girls and guys of a certain age dress. It's very different than the fashion in Seattle.. Would you mind listing some of your favorites stores in the city? I believe you mentioned Zara and Mango in another video, but was wondering if you had any other recommendations for a student who also can't afford Balenciaga :)
Since the success of my last Italian fashion video, I've been asked for an updated version... here it is :D A look at how Italians dressed through out 2018 and why :) What do you think? se volete aiutarmi con i sottotitoli italiani, ecco il link:) bit.ly/2NzMCUk
Tia Taylor that not information. It s disinformation
Tia, if I'll find some time in the next days, Im surely gonna subtitle this video.. You're so funny, I honestly don't give a single fuck about fashion and still laughed my ass off watching this.. Amazing, ahah!
Even if, I must admit, since you're talking about stuff idc about, I could have some issues in translating that! :/
I'll do my best!
Just a question.... Why american girls wear leggings with crop tops? Here in Italy we wear leggings with long t-shirts because leggings are a little sheer if you bend and they aren't just like jeans.In my school you can't wear leggings with crop tops.
You forgot one thing, this year’s white sneakers are the Gucci aces in Italy
For non-italian people: guys, this is "how to dress in Milan" not "how to dress like an Italian". Don't you guys think to go in Rome and dressing like that, thinking that you'll be perfectly blended in, because you will not! We Italians tend to have different style in different regions, so please keep in mind that if you decide to follow this tips!
nah, neanche a Milano ci si veste così, se esci dagli ambienti "vip"
but you have to agree she is spot on....before I make a trip to italy I inquired whats in style...but now that zara is everywhere and I know that most of my family members like to shop there...I go based on what they sell since its so expensive to shop in Italy. By the way ZAra has a both trendy shoes.
non sono d’accordo, vivo a Roma e nella mi zona le persone si vestono esattamente come ha detto lei! Perciò credo dipenda dalla zona, ovviamente nelle zone meno benestanti/periferie dubito ci sia qualcuno che indossi le balenciaga
Sì, in effetti bisognerebbe fare un discorso non solo per regione/città, ma anche per quartiere! Spesso gli stranieri pensano che tutti gli italiani vestano alta moda solo per il fatto di vivere in Italia! Sarebbe una bella realtà da raccontare...
Zara is total shit in Italy. The quality is terrible.
Hi Tia, as an Italian girl who lives near Venice I say that you got the point: Italians think that being classy, elegant and sophisticated is the number one rule. In general I think we don't necessarily follow trends so much, because we think that some of them are so "volgari" 😂 I can totally say that what's important here is being stilish and not always follow temporary trends.
Complimenti per il tuo canale, lo adoro!
Ps: thank God I've never seen animal prints here!
Non è neanche troppo negativo, è bello pensare che alla gente piaccia essere curata :)
In Italy the colors are always Navy, Beige, Pana, e nero....its intersting that Italian runway fashion does not reflect the people of its country...Moschino, Dolce, Gucci....are very out there...more american...where American runway....Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors (the ideal Amerian Sportswear)...is more Italians style....but no so much American
mmmh, well middle aged men wear those colours a lot, yeah, but italian fashion is much more complex and often reflects those brands. then of course, those looks are revisitated cause they cost a little too much ahah, but i kinda see myself a lot in those brands.
Ritengo che il fatto che girino molti più accessori/vestiti di marche costose e di lusso sia legato alla diffusione della musica trap in questi ultimi anni.
Generalmente i fan di un determinato genere musicale tendono a imitare coloro che producono la musica che ascoltano, copiandone gli atteggiamenti e i modi di vestire. Come ho già detto, la musica trap è quella che va oggi per la maggiore in Italia. Questo genere di musica e i suoi "cantanti" ostentano la ricchezza in maniera a mio avviso esagerata, inserendo continui elogi alla bellezza dei soldi e all'importanza di avercene sempre di più per ... boh, lo sanno solo loro il perché. I trapper quindi, per restare in linea con l'ostentazione della ricchezza, si vestono praticamente solo con capi d'abbigliamento firmati che costano l'ira di Dio. I (ahimè) numerosi fan di questo genere quindi, per imitare i loro idoli, ci tengono a procurarsi almeno uno degli accessori che hanno visto addosso ai loro idoli.
Ecco spiegato, in maniera forse un po' troppo prolissa, perché questo trend.
L. F. Esatto. Hai fatto tombola
D'accordissimo
Questo, e anche un piu facile accesso (soprattutto tramite eCommerce) a capi falsificati dei brand di lusso, provenienti soprattutto da Turchia e Cina.
😍 la penso esattamente come te ☺️
Non so quanti anni hai, ma prima gli accessori costosi e le marche andavano di moda eccome tra i ragazzi... io sono dell'88 e quando andavo a scuola io tutti con le Nike Silver (costavano un sacco!) O le Prada.. Marche in bella vista ecc. E allora non c'entrava proprio nulla la trap.
Ma la cosa più importante é che le Hogan siano passate di moda.
those shoes where in forever!
Cazzo vero non le vedo dal 2016
non che le Balanciaga siano sta gran bellezza
Finalmente!!!!!
Smettetela di insultare le hogan , sono il simbolo italiano
luxury brands were even more popular back in 2007-2009 with Dolce and Gabbana belt and stuff like that
Or those damned Kelvin Klein underwear...
Che brutti flashback mi hai dato
Quelli erano tempi volgari
e comunque l'animalier e l'ossessione logo saranno anche tornati popolari, ma restano cose da parvenu, per niente eleganti :D
I primi anni '00 sono stati l'apoteosi, credetemi
Docs are forever. literally.
I feel like the old skool vans are the sneakers of the year
Old skool vans have been THE SHOES for the last two years and I hope this trend won't change cause I love Vans shoes
Laura Molteni i mentioned them in last year’s video and ironically enough they said I was a liar :D
@@misstiataylor_ which video?
Le Vans sono un sempreverde, non sono mai andate via e non lo faranno per un bel po'. Sono esteticamente belle e stanno bene quasi a chiunque, quasi con qualsiasi cosa addosso. E' un pezzo sicuro. Come le Converse, sebbene siano un po' meno usate. L'unica cosa è il prezzo veramente alto per due pezzi di gomma e un po' di stoffa che dopo 5 mesi son da cacciare, ma tant'è...
I think the unique aspect about Italian fashion that I like is what you said in this video, where it likes to play off the past. Seeing things that were popular in the 80s/90s today but with a twist. A bit contemporary. I know you said that the fashion trends you see are more based in Milan hence you live there and could differ from other regions but I feel that’s what makes Italian fashion in general show its own individuality. Italy is a seemingly traditional country, so I can see where the general appearance of how Italians dress come from. I really think it’s unique and interesting. Forza Italia!
Off topic but Kim Yerim my girlll🙌
Sofía My bias! ❤️
@@sabrinag9610 can i ask where are you from?
I'm sicilian and most of these trends are not a thing here and it's so interesting to see how different Milan is from here! Here a lot of teenage girls wear those skinny high waist jeans, but young adults do wear mom jeans. I've never seen a person with a fanny pack who wasn't a middle aged man with those leather ones over the shoulder, Oh and guys wear a lot of flower printed shirts
I would like to know what they are wearing in Sicily. I was there last year and it seemed very boring to...Vans, cut off jeans that was summer of 17...how about now?
@@provvide75 vans are still super popular, I've noticed that young teenagers dress more like American teens, while older teenagers dress more like what tia said. I've seen those sock shoes, but the most popular shoes are white Adidas (don't knoe the model sorry). Then adults just dress boring and plain
Jeez, I'm from Rome and I feel like I live on a different planet! I believe you though, I feel that Milan is the most innovative place in terms of fashion
It seems like Milanesi are going to thru a midlife crisis.
I live in Rome and I'm also a bit confused about these trends 😂🤣
That's right. In Rome those are never to be seen. Tia should stop making video about "italians" and start shooting videos about "milanesi". ;)
@@Ruskieit Lol but she explained it well in the disclaimer that she was referring more to the Milanesi 😉
I know, I know. :)
I'm Italian but I must say....I hate these new trends! Fannypack?! Seriously?! Balenciaga shoes are so ugly, and I still think that animalier is "too much". The "luxurious sportwear" reminds me of the terrible chenille sport suits back in the 2000s that we all regret, so It's out for me too. All these seem to me the kind of stuff that in 5 years we'll see our old pictures thinking "what the hell I was wearing?!".
I'm italian too and I agree with you 😊
I hate animalier! In my opinion it looks cheap even if it’s good quality
I'm Italian and I'm with u girl,lol🙂😂
I’m Italian and I completely agree with you
Milanesi. Ricordatevi che sono milanesi.
Could you make some sort of “Italian lookbook” video?
That would be very fun to watch! Absolutely love your content 😘😘
Red Panda - Yes I’d love to watch that!!
I’m from the Netherlands and even though Italy seems so far away and different from here i really can relate to these fashion trends. So funny to see that fashion is pretty much the same all across Europe. I loved the video, thanks Tia ❣️
Italian fashion and design comes in two flavours: Sublime and ludicrous.
There is seemingly no middle ground.
I like when you use random italian words in an english speech :D
I live in Sicily and I've never seen Balenciagas and fanny packs, thanks God! Also, skinny jeans are still a thing here and honestly I've never liked them so I got rid of them as fast as I could. I personally feel like I have a different style from the other kids my age because I live on IG and Pinterest and I only follow french/canadian/american "influencers" so I was literally the first one in my town to buy a pair of black Vans Old Skool or mom jeans. I don't like to follow trends but I'm so so happy that more comfortable/90's items are now socially accepted lol. I love the French girl style SO MUCH but I'm definetely more casual because practicality and everyday life
That choker is living a life on its own! 😂
La tua espressività fa muovere la collana che hai al collo come se avesse vita propria, but we love an expressive queen
😜
I'm Italian and I live in Tuscany..and (thank God) I've never seen 80% of these things 😅😅 I think that Milan is a world apart from the rest of the nation. Btw I get it when you say that Italians have some fashion instinct inside, even if not everybody wears luxury brand clothes!
I went to Italy in June thru till July, around the center regions of Umbria and Lazio (Roma) and one word... PLATFORMS!! Platforms galore!!! I was going through culture shock because here in the US, we don’t wear them and they look almost intimidating to walk in!!
Molly Anne they are actually so much more comfortable but I would that they are a dying trend every girl has one since last year
they are so comfortable, im gonna be soooo out of place then when i go to ny in november lol
They come back every few years.
Omg she’s so beautiful, i love the color of her body, and hair and style....
I think American trends are more “come and go”. Things you would like now maybe you wouldn’t in a year. The Italian style is timeless because, as you said, is more classic and sober!!
Jane Min not really, trends come and go in Italy too.
@@ariannainlove but they get recycled back with a twist and not likd how americans just abandon them
When I went with my classmates in a cultural exchange in New Jersey, they put us with our American hosts in front of some children of the local school (we went to speak about this project) and they had to recognise who was Italian and who was American. Even if we tried to mix things up, taking off the most "recognisable" things, they literally failed only with one of our classmates, who dressed very sporty so they thought he was American. Since then, I started to take for granted that our style is somehow recognisable for the Americans, even if I don't know exactly how 😂
Abaigeal Fire When I arrived in Italy back in the 80s idk how they did it but everybody and I mean everybody could spot me out as the "Americana" .....they said it was because of the way I dressed, too serious, they dressed very sporty back then...lol
@@MsBaby1959 so true they did, I always laugh (in a good way) when my mom shows me pictures of her childhood and I see how her older cousins and my granny were dressed... The Italian "80s/early 90s" style is often sporty and (for me) quite funny 😂
Abaigeal Fire too true, all cookie cutter styles, no individual statements...lol ;-) another thing they often would tell was, wow! Love your clothes, we didn't think you had such nice clothes in Canada 🇨🇦 (seeing I'm Canadian/Italian)😁
Penso che a Milano siano un po' tutti più fighetti, nel senso balenciaga e marsupio non ne ho visti nella mia città. Quando però sono passata da Milano, mi sono accorta che lì la moda é piu "sentita". Penso che Milano sia un altro mondo ecco e non rispecchi totalmente la realtà italiana ma tu vivi lí quindi capisco perché ne abbia parlato così
Mhh, non definirei Milano un altro mondo perché, dovendo essere sincera, anche qui nella mia zona (provincia di Como) ci vestiamo così e non credo che sia così solo a Como e Milano
@@nyxlu Allora deve essere una cosa tipica lombarda lol, si vede che dove vivo io siamo tutti poracci.. Cmq parlavo principalmente del marsupio e balenciaga.. Per il resto a parte la cintura di Gucci che non ho visto é abbastanza accurato.. Io parlo per la mia esperienza
no non è una cosa lombarda, sono stata qualche giorno fa a Napoli e la gente si veste da fighetta con il marsupio anche lì.
@@0096jxn nelle grandi metropoli è più facile vedere gente vestita in un modo piuttosto che un altro. E a Milano è risaputo che si sentono tutti più fighetti. Detto ciò come ho già detto io parlo per mia esperienza, ognuno ha vissuto e visto cose diverse🤷
Non c'entra niente ma anche io sono un'armyy
Animal prints are in stores, but do you see people wearing them though?☺
Ok io sono dell'idea che la qualità costi è che si debba pagare. Ma 500 euro per un paio di scarpe da ginnastica? Non ci arrivo. Spiegatemelo per favore
sara caselli trend
Xi Chen può essere solo trend perché qualitativamente non può essere così tanto superiore alle Nike che abbiamo tutti
sara caselli se hai mai studiato l’economia marginale saprai che non si paga solo la qualità di un prodotto. Il valore di un prodotto non è assoluto nel l’economia moderna bensì definito marginalmente perché si basa su fattori estrinsechi che ne determinano il bisogno o il desiderio nella domanda di mercato. Esempio lampante è Supreme o il Rolex; non paghi solo la qualità (che comunque è indubbia) paghi altri fattori quali la scarsità, il prestigio che ti conferisce indossandoli etc. altro esempio può essere un calciatore: è giusto che Totti prenda uno stupendio 100volte superiore a quello di un metalmeccanico? Lavora 100volte di più? Ovviamente no, ma le sue qualità uniche rendono la sua prestazione centinaia di volte più di valore di un lavoro che potenzialmente potrebbe fare chiunque
Fede Fili quindi detta in parole povere, le persone sono consapevoli che stanno pagando delle scarpe che qualitativamente sono come delle Nike, per 5 volte il loro prezzo, ma lo fanno a cuor leggero perché le Balenciaga fanno figo.
sara caselli si, in parole povere è così. Solo che la differenza è che quelle scarpe valgono effettivamente di più di un paio di Nike perché hanno alcune qualità (vedi scarsità e status) che la Nike non ha. C’è inoltre da considerare che anche la Nike ha prezzi che non sono rapportati solo alla qualità produttiva. Perché io con 200€ di air max potrei farmi delle belle scarpe da un artigiano che mi durano 15anni e che non hanno paragone con un paio di Nike che mi durano due stagioni al massimo. Quindi bisogna valutare vari fattori. Io ad esempio, essendo imprenditore anche nel campo della moda ho un ritorno in termini di immagine nell’indossare Sneakers da 800€, per cui il costo da me sostenuto è proporzionalmente inferiore all’indotto che in termini di immagine mi procura
balenciaga are the ugliest shoes I have ever seen
Sportswear has even taken over Paris which is surprising considering how strict they are with their effortless classic Parisian style.
Seems like Milanese trends are London trends few months/years late with the balenciaga trainers, docs, mum jeans, transparent bags, GG belt, the Dionysus bag, sportswear etc.
I'm that girl that lives in Milan but still wears converse, skinny jeans and t-shirts...
Noemi Bardaré You are awesome. I also wear chucks
You absorbed Italian’s “gesturing when talking vice” it’s lovely.
Le Balenciaga sembrano un calzino con la suola
È quello il concetto delle scarpe, le sock shoes, tra i primi a produrle è stato kanye west con le yeezy sock boots
Hahaahahaha
Francesca Taddia hai detto proprio una stronzata, Kanye West con Yeezy l'unica cosa che fa è ricopiare, proprio come Off-White. le "sock /shoes/boots" giravano grazie a Margiela anni fa. vedi le varie foto che girano nel profilo ig di @diet_prada
I remember The North Face windbreaker being extremely popular when I was in high school in Rome, around 2014-2015!
Sei riuscita a inserire in un video tutti gli aspetti più rilevanti della moda qui in Italia e hai detto tutte cose vere
I just can't stop watching you, I even watch videos of yours that are not close to me in topic, just purely because you speak so clearly and beautifully, both in Italian and English! You help me learn Italian too 😍💜
Raga ma smettetela di insultare, ricordatevi che lei va alla Bocconi, quindi è normale che veda gente vestita firmata. Nella sua realtà Milanese è realmente così.
Honestly your analysis about how culture plays on american/italian trends sounds so on point to me owo loved it
I CAN'T stand sproty trends. As a male, it's particular hard for me to go shopping in Milan these days, at least in the fast fashion shops (I'm broke AF don't judge mehhh). It's just SO against my style, but it's just EVERYWHERE and I don't wanna look like a freaking drug dealer FFS!
Lol 😂😂
The cross body bum bag is the skeeziest look going.
Hahhaa I get you, It's nice to see somebody suffering from the same problems of mine 😂
i feel like this is the same for america pretty much. on my campus tho, people mainly still wear gym attire, t-shirts, and leggings, and running shoes. birkenstocks and hats are poppin too.
I'm Italian and I live in the US. Your videos about style are so useful to me to catch up with the new trends! Thank you!
tamarrate everywhere
sounds similar to the Netherlands, north face has become a thing here since a few rappers started wearing it, now it's a street style "gangster" kind of look to wear north face when it's def not supposed to be.
Lilit G oh wow lol. Here it’s for basic girls or hikers/snowboarders. Crazy how people interpret it.
Lol.
Great video!
I don't live in Italy so I'm not updated about its trends but I think that about sneakers the black Vans Old Skool in textile are still big.
Luxury brands come and go as trends in Italy, in the early 2000s the Prada Americas Cup sneakers were very popular along the Belstaff raincoats and Evisu raw jeans.
Funny thing, I never expected the explosion of sportswear in Italy, as an expat that lived in more than one foreign country I noticed that in several european countries sportswear and the funny bag across the chest are associated with uneducated hooligans, especially for brands like Nike, Adidas and Stone Island.
American brands in Italy, apart the "immortals" like Nike, they swap often in the trends: I remember in the 90s were big Caterpillar and Carhartt, now there's Supreme.
I agree that italians tend to be more sober and safe on what they wear, they care about the perfect size (generally) and to not to look too much weird, despite we'd in the past terrible trends like the Buffalo shoes of the 90s.
I watched this video during my trip to Italy in Oct/Nov 2018 and observed some of what you mentioned here. I noticed old school vans, a lot of black, 90s and 80s fashion, particularly thick soled shoes. I also noticed a lot of women that appeared bare face but for lipstick, mascara, - aka not tons of foundation or contouring which is such a thing here now. Also I noticed many women with their hair natural, like girls with curly hair just left it long out and didn’t appear to have too much product in it so it was big and fluffy. Granted most of our time was in the train and tourist places. I smiled when I saw the balenciaga and their dupes that you mentioned and most notably I noticed many people of different genders, ages, and sizes wearing leather jackets. I got a pair of doc martens and a leather jacket when I got back home, watched a ton of your videos, and as much Italian language Netflix I could find to draw out my “move to Italy” fantasies.
Oooh, we've had the riding boots wave, definitely!
I'm so done with 90s/early 00s fashion, I hated it back then and I still do! Can't wait for the next revival shift lol
As a Canadian I found this video very informative, educational and hilarious. Great job.
This video was very interesting!! So many trends in Italy that are also here in NYC!! Found it kind of hilarious when you mentioned north face because I feels it’s always been a go-to here when you want a good coat or jacket
Yessss, it might be the influence of the fashion industry in both cities because in the end the high fashion houses do end up repeating certain themes. I know what we Americans love (and I packed and brought over here only to never wear again 😂).
Can I say that I'm so sick of seeing sweatshirts that say Pyrex on them...lol.......this year I totally loved the floral rompers and jumpsuits and love the chunky heels and short spikes....plus the cross body bags were my favourite accessory this Summer and so glad the chunky costume jewelry is over and done with 😂👍🏻
I hate so much the Pyrex stuff!
celeste centelli I know right? But I think it's a passing trend, mostly teens wear them
Yep but it's everywhere for now 😩
celeste centelli too true..haha 🤗😂😘👍🏻
Pyrex as in the cookware stuff?
tia i am italian and everything you said is absolutely on point!!! the cheetah print thing cracks me up cause it’s so trueee😂
northface is actually really popular in Milan, but I think only here. Animal print was quite a trend a few years ago (but not a boom) but this year yeah, there are a lot of things with that print
I CAN'T stop loving your channel! Congratulations Tia
I beg to differ RE: The riding boots...at least here in Torino they are a thing 😁👢, love mine👍🏻😍
per non parlare del GIUBBOTTO DELLA NAPAPIJRI
Con i cargo verdi con elastico alle caviglie e stan smith
Dio
quella moda é finita da un po'
You should make this a series! I'm italian, but I don't live in Milan, so it's interesting to see what they wear there every year and what is trend, since it's a big city for fashion. Nice video!
Soo true! With this video you really get the point. These are the trends in Italy. It is possible to look at all of them and find them in the magazines.
100% true
The quality of your videos is always just amazing. When I watch your videos I feel so relaxed and chill (I'm here from the beginning).
Thanks cris, I’m glad you enjoy them 😍
I was in Italy for 6 monts in 2016-2017 and I saw many students had Eastpack backpacks. I found it really funny because I remember them from my childhood. Almost every one had those in my school back in 2001-2004 (I'm from Finland though). I couldn't afford it. Soon after became Dakine backpacks and then Fjällräven and now Nike but I haven't seen here Eastpacks anymore, maybe some people use it but it's not a trend. So when I saw Italians with Eastpacks I got flashbacks and 8 year old me would have been jealous. When I was a kid there where only just a few models but now they were in every colour and in every print you can imagine.
And one other trend was really interesting when I was in Italy: this Napapijri thing. As a Finn it was really weird to see Finnish word with Norwegian flag everywhere. I wanted to buy something from the brand just to make my Finnish friends laugh but it was way too expensive for that purpose. Btw it shoud be Napapiiri not Napapijri and it means the polar circle.
I saw other brands as well with nordic flags. I have no idea why that was a thing. But I didn't see any brand with a Finnish flag. Is this flag thing out or is it still "trendy"?
:D
I live just near Milan and I confirm what you said. We try to find the classic in everything, even at school. I hate balenciaga but I've to say that every shop like Primark, Bershka or pull and bear tend to copy them and sell them for 15€ and these are the ones guys usually buy. The few brands that probably everyone wear (also the medium class) are Adidas, Nike, fila, levi's, Calvin Klein and still a few stuff of Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister.
I also noticed mustard being a very fashionable color in fall 2018
girl, I always watch your videos when I'm missing Italy. EVERYTHING you've mentioned is so true!
So true! I have an Italian boyfriend and he wears classical stuff and he always chooses "secure" clothes if you get what I mean 😁. I always try to suggest something sporty, a jumper or something different than a shirt and a sweater lol
Ahaha for us italians "sporty" means something that should be used only during a training.
I've to add that probably more than an "Italian style" there's a European style. I noticed that people in milan (or in northern Italy), as in the South there are less chains of stores so people are more extravagant, dress exactly as people in Paris, Berlin, London exc. As brands are the same in all these cities.
Cool video :>
I'm from the south and I'm an high school student. Here guys are REALLY into trap these days so brands like Nike, Adidas, Fila, Kappa, Vans, Puma the north face ect are so big rn (even luxury brands Gucci in particular, even tho they cant afford them) guys even wear retro/women sunglasses! Miniskirts are coming back.
Eastpack backpacks is what everyone has at school.
Also shoes play a huge role, fancy weird big shoes like NIKE, Fila. It's even better if the color of shoes and clothes is unique. Vintage stuff is a trend too for both males and females. Must have big jeans but also skinny, but NO jegging(IF LEVIS IS WAY BETTER)
Hope i helped you somehow, if you wanna know something ask!
ahah neon was popular here in Napoli in 2010-2012 ish too. You can still see people wearing it though. I love cheeta print
north face backpacks have been popular in Milan for about a decade now actually...great observations though!
Ti seguo da un bel po’ ma è la prima volta che commento... sei davvero bravissima, sembri molto intelligente e simpatica!
the north face used to be really popular here in italy in about 2010 (may be incorrect but in some time around that) when a street/somehow still a little emoish (like people who were still getting out their emo 2007 phase) was a things, or at least here. it never got as big as some others brands that banged in the years but not really unknown
I live in Palermo, so I can't really relate AHAHAHAH never seen any of the things you listed in the video!
But I think you are pretty correct in saying that Italians tend to be very "conformative" (yeah I have no idea either if that's a word or not). I'm no fashion expert but I like to experiment with my clothes and I really like sewing and fashion history. During my high school years (more than ten years ago UGH) I really wanted some high wasted shorts or skirts, but since we were about to get out of the low waist nightmare, I was looked at funny because of my shorts and skirts. People though it was "grandma style".
And so on with LOTS of things.
In my experience, Not many Italians experiment with their clothes, in fear of being deemed ridiculous or yeah, "vulgar".
I've been wearing absurd outfits during my teen years and I had a blast doing it. Did I sometimes look ridiculous? Absolutely.
"Eleganza" is a good thing, but honestly? Sometimes I just want to dress to have fun.
Never had time to worry about what other people think.
I got lots of comments for it but I learned to ignore them... especially when I realized that a few years later those same people were wearing the very same clothes they teased me for AHAHAHAH
Doc Martens are a British brand & fashion staple, so it’s p cool to see it’s popular in Milan
Thank you for this video! As someone who has Italian heritage and speaks it fairly well, I’d hate to be a full blown tourist!
I think most of these trends come from the fact that trap music is popular now, and trap music stars wear animal print, those kind of shoes exc..
lol European fashion isn't influenced by hip hop 😂😂😂 hip hop is influenced by European fashion
what I'd like to add is that most italian millennials are broke AF so they only shop at H&M, Zara and such and when you don't have much money to spend you just play safe and go for jeans and t-shirts and spend more on shoes. so we may even love fashion (as I do) but we usually wear simple, classic things. so I feel it's generally hard for us to create a unique, different style so we just go for the things we find in the most popular stores
You are, for better or for worse, right in every way.
Quante premesse hai dovuto fare per difenderti da eventuali accuse :-(
As i rad in other comments, “italian style” change city by city. If you come to Naples you can see a lots of people following the Americans way of wearing: here people wants to declare themselves and to show their bodies, so everything is more “volgare”. Means this that everyone is individualistic? No, cause a lot of people choose classic/ elegantly clothes. I think that from Rome going down the boot, everyone sees him/her self as something that is unique. So there are unique classic people, unique sportive ones, unique “cafone” ones. Be in the Italian style means understand all of them and choose witch one is the one you fill in. At the end you’re in the Italian mode if you look beautiful, without not-matching colors and, in unique way, not so far away from the standards (of every single sub-stile).
yaaaas so glad the belt bags are in!!! im going in may and i really wanted to wear one but i always try to blend in and not look like a tourist
Sei bravissima,io sono italiana ma cerco di capire quello che dici perché veramente sei simpaticissima💙
doc martens are just the best... i've had mine since 2012 ♡
10 years ago same thing with d&g belts and the Louis Witton bags (north face was already kinda popular among high schooler)
It is funny because I live in Milan but I've never seen some of these trends! But probably because I'm not into fashion and I am older than Tia. But fanny pack?!
essere individualisti, innovativi e leader è un conto. Indossare roba vistosa, stravagante e di cattivo gusto è un'altra faccenda (non per niente abbiamo una parola, "americanata", che indentifica cose e situazioni bizzarre e di cattivo gusto)
In Liguria invece questi trend che ci sono a Milano sono molto comuni, anche nei negozi più grandi o a Genova si trovano spesso e rappresentano quello che va di moda nell’ultimo periodo. Non so se sia solo nel nord Italia o zona Lombardia/Piemonte/Liguria essendo che non sono così conosciuti in altre zone
Tia, that is very interesting in site about Americans being individualistic. My next trip to Italy, I'd probably still stick out like a sore thumb because im thinking everyone dresses like the runways.
can you do an updated one next fall for 2020? i'm moving to italy from america as a high schooler in sept 2020 and i dont want to stick out
One second! In Italy there are different style.Milan is the world capital of fashion and so in Milan the people dress like that,but in the south Italy I don’t think so (sorry for bad English)
Well, as many other pointed out, these are fashion trands that really took off only in Milan and a few other big cities, I know you made a disclamer about this in the beginning of the video but I feel like it wasn’t enough. As soon as you leave Milan you see that people tend to dress in a much more “casual” and less sophysticated (?) way.
Don’t make another Italian fashion video until the riding boots are in style because I feel like it’s bound to happen
Thank you for this video! What are some examples of popular woman’s jeans and shirts? You mentioned not too tight but more straight. I wondered what those look like if you have an esempio per favore?
Waking up to Tia with breakfast so amazing
@south east are you trying to be FUNNY
I'm Italian and if only I had more than a thousand euros I would buy the balenciaga hahahaja, however I think this new style of clothing is also brought by a new kind of music, which now all the kids follow. apart from this, we are close to france, the city of fashion. BUONA GIORNATA! 💘
If I had more than a thousand Euros, I'd rather have more than a thousand Euros.
Credevo che le sneaker Balenciaga e la moda dei marsupi messi tipo a tracolla fossero qualcosa di importato dallo streetwear-sportswear americano, ci speravo...così come speravo che fosse colpa di qualche hipster americano la moda dei risvoltini. In generale odio i trend che portano alla finta ribalta qualcosa che 10 anni fa era considerata da sfigati, perché c'è gente che anni addietro è stata presa pesantemente in giro da chi ora si vanta di seguire sti trend. In più, se una cosa ti sta male, quando finisce il trend di quell'estetica lì avrai solo un capo d'abbigliamento che ti sta oggettivamente da cani. Altro esempio i mom jeans, non stanno bene a tutte (allungano spesso il sedere, lo appiattiscono e fanno spesso difetto davanti, ne so qualcosa, ne cerco uno decente da anni) eppure tantissime li prendono senza pensarci, qualche anno fa eri una sfigata meritevole di sguardi di disprezzo se ti mettevi dei mom jeans, mi fa uscire pazza sta cosa! Idem per il vecchio trend delle Superga, io ho visto alle elementari bambini presi pesantemente in giro per avere ai piedi le Superga, gli stessi bulletti anni dopo alle medie avevano tutti le Superga ai piedi, stesso modello che disprezzavano con cattiveria negli anni passati. Vogliamo parlare poi delle montature degli occhiali? Se c'è il trend puoi prendere la forma più sbagliata per il tuo viso con lo spessore meno adatto e stanno tutti lì ad ammirarti, se non segui la moda invece apriti cielo! Questa parte "tossica" dei trend me li fa davvero detestare.
Il motivo per cui non bisogna seguire la moda come una pecora. Pochi lo sanno fare mantenendo comunque un proprio stile. Per quel che mi riguarda, io non seguo la moda, è proprio una cosa che mi interessa poco. La mia priorità è stare comoda
love when you do these kinds of videos...please make this a regular thing
Hi Tia,
As usual, a very nice video! Congratulations! I think your view on italian style and fashion is very accurate and it it’s true that Italians, in general, are elegant but not very adventurous regarding fashion.
One particular topic on your video caught my attention. You say that the luxury brand accessories, like belts and bags, are now everywhere to be seen. I’ve also noticed this trend in other countries. My question for you is: do you believe that in a country hit by an economic crisis, like Italy, all those expensive bags and belts seen on the streets are original? Is the luxury brand market really booming?
Once again, congratulations. Love your channel.
Although I’m based in Germany, a lot of what you said applies here as well. Germans could also be said to dress up in comparison to Americans, and I a lot of fast fashion companies are Europe-wise. This results in me looking obviously “European” whenever I return to the US for a visit.
The US is not innovative in fashion - just see what people buy at H&M, all the nice high quality and interesting designs are left on sale racks. I think the taste is different, not the innovation or individuality.
Hai assolutamente centrato tutto! Hai dimenticato solo una cosa (o almeno in Toscana dove vivo io va tantissimo) : la marcha Vans, sia per le scarpe Old Skool sia per il vestiario. Sei fantastica, i tuoi video mi divertono molto. Un grande abbraccio da Firenze 😘
Lo so lo so siamo troppo British
this year fila distruptor are very popular white sneakers
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time!! I just arrived in Milan 1 week ago, and I'm shocked at how similarly *most* Italian girls and guys of a certain age dress. It's very different than the fashion in Seattle.. Would you mind listing some of your favorites stores in the city? I believe you mentioned Zara and Mango in another video, but was wondering if you had any other recommendations for a student who also can't afford Balenciaga :)
Omg the North face wind coats were flipping popular since I was in middle school (I'm 23)
Had a good time watching this video as always. brava. Complimenti❤
