Ten Style Lessons From Aquazzura Founder Edgardo Osorio

5 min read

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of luxury Italian footwear label Aquazzura, founder and creative director Edgardo Osorio shares his top 10 tips for a stylish life

1. Style is about personality – being yourself is always the right choice.

2.  Always choose style over trends, and don’t be a follower. Wear fashion that works for you and makes you look your best.

3. Life is beautiful in colour. A bright hue, especially in your accessories, is a great way to mix things up.

4. When in doubt, overdress. Underdressing is so boring and life is too short to not look your finest.

5. Always try to do the bella figura which, for me, is always trying to look your best. Not only for you, but as a sign of respect and appreciation for others who invited you to a dinner, a party, or just have to see you every day.

6. You also need to be comfortable. Buy something that makes you look and feel good and you’ll always shine.

7. Style is not about wearing brands, it’s about the way you put yourself together. The way you move, talk, eat and behave are all equally as important.

8. Grooming is key. Always have perfectly manicured hands and feet, especially when wearing sandals.

9. Don’t wear socks with sandals, it’s just awful. It doesn’t matter how many runways it appears on.

10. Dress from the feet up. You can wear the simplest vintage dress or something from the high street, but wear fabulous shoes and you’ll always have an outfit.
