“Italians are always well-dressed.”
Who hasn’t heard that one at least once in their life"
It?s one of many stereotypes about Italians and, just like any stereotype, it?s not entirely true…but it does have a kernel of truth to it.
In my experience, people here are generally very concerned with the way they look, and they’ll usually put a lot of thought into what they wear. There’s also a general sense of decorum that people are expected to observe. For instance, you’ll never see college students go to class in sweats and flip-flops. Here, dressing appropriately and looking nice are real social conventions.
So, what is makeup’s role in a country where most people always try to dress well and look good"
Well, Italians don?t normally use as much makeup as you might expect. A typical Italian look, which I?ve recreated for you today, will usually feature very few products.
Care to know which ones"
