What to wear to dinner on the Amalfi Coast?
You will find most people follow a more chic and upscale dress code at restaurants when dining out on the Amalfi Coast. So, it is always a good idea to put that extra effort in your outfit when dining out in the evening. Bringing along a pair of low to medium height block heels and a few cocktail dresses is never a bad idea when preparing your packing list. If your luggage is a bit limited, wearing a monochromatic neutral coloured outfit is always a safe place to start. Pair it with jewelry and a nice purse, and you  will certainly elevate any look. 

How to not look like a tourist and dress like an Italian woman in the summer?
Italian women achieve this beautiful mix between comfortability and elegance. Many wear flowing fabrics like linen or cotton. Choosing fabrics that allow breathability is what will keep you looking and feeling fresh! Italian women also choose to invest in classically styled, high quality shoes and accessories. So, choosing to invest in classic pieces rather than going for what is currently trending will help create a wardrobe that will never go out style.

What kind of shoes to wear in Positano?
Positano and the rest of the Amalfi Coast will have you walking and exploring everywhere so, having a good pair of sandals or sneakers that can last you the whole day are what should be packed in your luggage. It’s also a good idea to bring one or two pairs of dress shoes such as low to mid block/kitten heels or mules for evenings at restaurants or bars. 

Now, you’re all ready to jet-set to the stunning Amalfi Coast! Whether you’re in Sorrento, Ravello, Positano or Amalfi, you will be ready to dress and look like a chic Italian woman!
