Fashion

Something I haven’t really blogged about is the fashion here in Roma. Fashion rules supreme here. You’ll see men in business suits and women in dresses and 6-inch heels. It’s crazy. Apparently the women favour skinny jeans, ankle length, with really high heels. It’s a fashion no-no. My friend Sue’s daughter would have a complete field day here. They also wear black shoes with brown clothing. Ugh. No! As an American, we’re really standing out. People here wear jeans like we do, but they’re way different. I haven’t seen any Levi’s here or anything like that. Another thing that makes us stand out is the trainers that we wear. Okay, sneakers or tennis shoes. You’ll see people wearing Pumas or Addidas but not Nike, New Balance or anything like what we wear. Well, you see Chucks but they’re chic right now. The trainers they wear here aren’t really even sneakers. They’re more of a dressy type shoe. I’ll have to get a picture. It’s odd. I’d love to live here but I couldn’t do the shoes. I’ve seen people walking down the Spanish Steps in stilettos.
