What Kind of Dressing? French or Italian

If you're at a loss for what to wear when traveling to Italy or France rest assured that my general Travel Clothes Guidelines will get you through your Europe with flying colors. Basic fitted clothes in darker colors and a few distinctive accessories will carry you far and provide that bit of chic that we all strive for. However, I thought it might be fun to address the way that French and Italian women differ in the way they dress. The basic formula is still the same but there are subtle differences.

• French women dress classic yet subtly sexy, Italian women are more va-va-va-voom in their sexiness

• French women stick to classic clothing, Italian women are classic but they do like trendy clothing as well

• French women wear simple hair and makeup, Italian women get a bit more gussied up and they love blond highlights

• French women wear fitted clothing, Italians wear tighter clothing

• French women may use color as an accent, sometimes Italians wear more color

• Some sort of scarf is always worn by both Italian and French women

• Heels are always worn by both Italian and French women

Who's French and who's Italian can you guess?
