Italy as a united country never had a monarchy, so every Italian is a kind of king or queen of their own look. It’s all about self-invention.
The mindset towards fashion is.
Wear what you love and treasure the things you love in your wardrobe because no era ever completely goes out of date. 
All the images in this article are taken by me here this week in Tuscany.
Forte Dei Marmi Italy
Beach style wearing linen is a must in Italy.

Linen

Linen is that style and fabric that will never date and looks wonderful on anyone. Any age or gender can wear linen. Layering linen is the key to a chic look.
Linen Style Tips - Capsule Collections That Never Date
Today I noticed a lady walking on the beach of Forte Dei Marmi. she looked effortlessly cool and wanted to keep her pale skin away from the sun.

Linen Scarf

Ready to level up? Tie it around your neck, either loosely draped, or quite tight. I’ve positioned it with the knot to the side to create the illusion of a longer neck. Double wrap it if you prefer a smaller knot. Move it to the front to conceal a too-low neckline.

 A scarf can also serve as an effective belt, too, looped through the waistband of a pair of jeans, or to define the waist of a flowy dress.

On holiday, I like to tie it around my head in the style of  Brigitte Bardot, depending on my mood. A pair of gold hoop earrings and salty hair completes the bohemian vibe.

Of course, if you happen to be going for a ride in a convertible, there’s only one way to wear your scarf: Grace Kelly-style, on your head, knotted beneath the chin – instant movie-star glamour, without a hair out of place.

The linen shirt below is a vintage top.
