What Emily Should Actually Wear in Italy, According to the Street-Style Set

Phil Oh Day 6

Emily in Paris returned this week and our favorite fictional character, Emily Cooper, has changed locales (if not show title). This season she’s based in Rome, where her favorite berets, tiny sets, and ruffles might be out of step. We suggest she takes some cues from what our real-life street stylers are wearing in Italia, which is molto Prada, Ferragamo, and Gucci.

On Her Weekend Espresso Runs

Emily was a fan of short-shorts and mini skirts in the City of Light; in Rome we find her embracing midi lengths and polka dot prints. We’d like to see her take on Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’s ready-to-wear designs.

For Parties on Rooftops

For night when Emily goes out, nothing screams “Look at me!” quite like Demna’s new Gucci.

To Lead the Agence Grateau Rome Office

Emily loved wearing feminine skirt suits to work in Paris. Now that she’s the head of Agence Grateau’s Rome HQ, we recommend a power suit as her new uniform.
