My most requested vacation dressing guide: what to wear for summer in Italy! I’d gravitate toward bold colors and patterns and occasional nods to Missoni wovens. All my inspo below — and I share these knowing there will be Magpies quick to let me know how hot it gets there in the summer. For daytime exploration, consider a light, airy Cosima, Ciao Lucia, or Coatue, a UPF-50 sunhat (packable!), a punchy crossbody that closes at the top (like this, this, this), and a sandal that you can walk comfortably in. (The Freda Salvador fisherman sandal in suede is one such, though it may be a touch heavy/sweaty for peak summer.
