5 replies

allthingsinmoderation · 24/04/2026 14:20

i need some nice tops for an italian holiday (Milan,Forence,Rome,Pompei,venice the lakes and amalfi coast.
I need some casual day time and some more elevated dressier evening options.
Need to be lightweight but have sleeves and not crease too much.
Colours white,blue black and one brighter option.
Any ideas appreciated particularly re fabrics.

Which shops do you like op? Any styles or colours ?
I would personally look on H&M and M&S and filter by cotton (maybe linen but wary of creasing!) and the colours you wear

This from Boden? Lots of colours. It will travel well. Remember that Italy gets hot. When are you going? Do you wear dresses?

Thanks for that.
Im going in June.
I do wear dresses, but wanted the flexibility to make more outfits with mixings separates too.

I like blue,all shades. I have lost my way a bit fashion wise (for a number of reasons eg: lifestyle changes,retiring,moving to a rural area,loss of my husband etc.
The thought of my wonderful trip to Italy is marred by the fact i dont know what i like or what suits me anymore.

I'd plan to enjoy a bit of shopping while you are there. See what Italian women wear, they are often very stylish.
