In the half light of evening, a white Range Rover stuffed with white flowers stands ready at the bottom of the church steps. The bride smiles relentlessly for the videographer while her hip friends hang out.
Look ma, no socks! The look is huge with formal wear. (You have to be a tall bony boy to pull it off, though.)Black is chic at weddings down South, worn with earrings shiny as chandeliers. And bow ties reign, much as they did in 2014. Delizioso.
But 2015’s new twist are bow tie colors that will knock your socks off! (And did you notice his buttons? Leave it to gli italiani to get all whimsical with a classic Oxford shirt.)
Then there’s paisley. And pant legs wide as HVAC pipes. Seventies all over again.
Maxi skirts are back too. Hurrah! I’d like to wear one all day everyday in summer. Then I could worry about things more important than my cheese-white legs, veined here and there in blue, like a good Gorgonzola.
