Getting to travel to different countries<\/u> not only lets me experience new customs, foods, landmarks, and people, but also to discover new-to-me trends from the fashionably inclined outside of my home of New York City. After a recent two-weeklong spurt through Europe (with most of my time spent traveling through Italy), I couldn\u2019t help but turn my head at every stylish Italian passerby in between sips of Chianti and spoonfuls of Amatriciana, quickly pinpointing the pieces they were wearing that I could incorporate into my own fall outfit rotation<\/u> the second my plane landed at JFK the following week.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

My observations reveal that the chic Italian woman\u2019s dressing formula champions comfortable sophistication, with pieces like classic button-down shirts<\/u> and sturdy leather bags<\/u> anchoring each outfit, and accessories like sharp sunnies and silk scarves adding touches of personality here and there. After my time abroad, I narrowed down these prevalent trends and immediately began searching for similar pieces to add to my fall wardrobe. My curated list of European it-girl essentials and where to buy them, ahead.\n<\/p>\n

Rarely did I see a chic Italian woman on the streets of Florence, Siena, or Rome without a silk scarf in tow. While this accessory can be worn in myriad ways, I noticed the scarf utilized most often as a bag accessory, though styling on the neck kerchief-style was not ignored. Incorporating this 100% silk Free People bandana (especially in the chocolate brown and red colorway) in your autumnal wardrobe is the easiest way to emulate this look.\n<\/p>\n

I stopped in my tracks when I saw a woman in Siena sporting a bright red oversized belt with a fitted maxi skirt and top in the same shade. Despite the monochromatic look, the chunky belt gave the ensemble dimension\u2014something I\u2019m aiming to do with all of my outfits this fall.

While I\u2019m usually partial to an oval or round frame shape when adding to my extensive collection of sunglasses, I\u2019m suddenly convinced that square frames are the ultimate cool-girl style. Every time I saw a pair of square-frame sunglasses on a stylish passerby, I was amazed by how confident this simple accessory seemed to make them. This Quince pair is closely aligned with the chic pairs I noticed abroad, and the price tag makes it even more desirable.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m usually partial to an oval or round frame shape when adding to my extensive collection of sunglasses, I\u2019m suddenly convinced that square frames are the ultimate cool-girl style. Every time I saw a pair of square-frame sunglasses on a stylish passerby, I was amazed by how confident this simple accessory seemed to make them. This Quince pair is closely aligned with the chic pairs I noticed abroad, and the price tag makes it even more desirable.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

When I think of square frames, Wayfarers immediately come to mind. This Ray-Ban style is timeless for a reason, making any wearer look effortlessly cool no matter which shade they purchase (though the matte black is likely the most versatile).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If a tortoise pattern is more your vibe, you\u2019ll love these Oliver Peoples sunnies. Plus, these will suit you if you have a smaller face and prefer a fitted style to an oversized pair.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
