Although many believe that beauty canons are dictated by fashion, models and magazines, there is a much more important factor that influences how we see the “perfect” woman.

The country of origin and its culture are crucial in this area. In this case, I bring you the Italian inspiration, an exuberant and sensual image where the voluptuous woman plays a predominant role.

One of the women that throughout history has left its mark in the world of cinema with an incredible beauty and very loved by the public was Gina Lollobrigida. Considered as sex symbol of the decades of the 50s and 60s, she became synonymous with talent and personality in the post-war Italian cinema. That is why this week we will pay tribute in this post to the real woman with curves that Italian women define and defend.

The fashion week exposed a new trend: crossed dresses. Equipped with femininity and sweetness, with this garments we achieve more hard-core and daring looks.

For women with a wide waist, crossed garments are a great ally since the fabric optically narrows the waist and gives a beautiful hourglass figure.

In addition, crossed garments come with necklines in V-shape, thus crowning a seductive outfit full of glamour and freshness.

This summer we will find prints in their total version, topping any type of garment and thus giving us very summery and colorful outfits.

Why choose crossed desses?

Like skater cut dresses, the flared ones that add mobility, and garments with a Bardot neckline, that fit us so well, crossed garments will be our great ally for any occasion, and they can’t be missing in our summer wardrobe, whose key to success will be total for all those who wish to be the center of attention.

Dressing it in a bohemian key or under a cardigan or knitted blazers, together with some ankle boots or flats, we will achieve a fresh and casual look. Meanwhile, if we add a black jacket and some high heels, we will be the perfect “It girl”, groundbreaking and sensuous, perfect for going out after work.

In today’s outfit we turn a sweet and sexy crossed into a rocker look by adding the black jacket and some sandals with heart stopping heels that stylize our legs, making them more long and thin.

Is it necessary to combine such different styles?

As I always say, in fashion nothing is mandatory. We are free to express our love for fashion the way that we want, but without forgetting the golden rules, and the rest will go smoothly.

Always try to wear bright colors to get rid of the mythical “working girl” look where they try to pigeonhole us in. Like this, we will get different “street styles” suitable for any time of the day.

In this case, I have opted for a crossed dress from Primak (new) in an eye-catching floral print mixed with black as a base. It is essential as it bails us out many troubles and looks great with everything. The sandals are from Blanco (old).

I hope that you’ve enjoyed the Outfit this week and continue risking, taking into account your comfort and style.

Meanwhile, dress with color and live with a lot of love.
