Italy is a very fashionable country that takes pride in all aspects of appearance. People determine how one carries themselves by their clothing. Without speaking, a simple glimpse can tell one's social standing and success as a businessperson. First impressions are the lasting impressions that people get when meeting someone in Italy, so it's important to be properly dressed for the occasion and place.
Clothing:
- Formal attire is expected
- Designer clothes and big brand names are substantial
- Accessories for men and women are widely practiced
- Women are to dress with elegance, as men are to dress sophisticated
- Italian women wear more makeup and jewelry than American women
- Managers are very well groomed while wearing good quality and clean cut clothing
- Earthy colors are worn more than bright colors
As Americans, we are much more laid back. Italians may take offense and feel disrespected if the improper attire is worn. It's beneficial for one to know what to expect before working with Italians, especially in the business world. One's reputation can be immediately ruined if they are unaware of the expected style.

Italian style is really awesome. Had attended many business meetings with my clients. Recently had attended a corporate meeting at meeting space San Francisco. It was really awesome to be there and their best thing was their style. Impressed with their business style and learned a lot from them.
