What clothes do traditional Italians wear?

Answer 1

Answer #1

I can give you some information but there is no traditional Italian clothing. In Japan, for example, a typical traditional dress is the kimono. But in Italy, there is still a strong difference between regions. The regional cultures are still very strong. Italy was unified only in 1861. So there is no strong, unified history. The Renaissance is probably the best Italian cultural period in which you can certainly see traditional dresses. But the Renaissance style belongs to the past. Nowadays, a 'typical Italian dress' does not exist. There are very famous stylists like Ferre, Moschino, and Armani. But they represent rather high fashion, not how people commonly dress.

Answer #2

Basically, traditional Italians wear some form of head covering, such as hats and scarves when they go outside. The women may wear gloves when they go shopping or to Mass and formal events. They also tend to wear dresses; or skirts with belts, blouses, and jackets or sweaters. The men tend to wear suits; or slacks with belts, jackets or sweaters, and shirts that are buttoned at the cuffs and collars. Both traditional men and women tend to wear sensible shoes, everywhere.
