Located next to Italy, Corfu is deeply affected by the Italian culture and especially by their attention to a good outfit. The expression “La bella figura” meaning good impression stays relevant to this day. So, what are you taking with you in your suitcase?

Long flowy skirts paired with a cropped top, or a t-shirt is the first thing you would think of getting with you, since they can give you charming dance moves for every traditional Corfiot Kantadas and Madolinatas, the traditional serenades that take place throughout the whole Old Town.

Floral or color block dresses could have been inspired by their traditional uniforms since their unique combination of colors make these uniforms famous for their complexity.

Have you ever thought of the oversized shirt trend as the top part of the traditional Corfiot costumes? Or even as the linen or cotton knee-length fabric people used to wear on holidays? The sleeves were long and puffy at the wrists! What do you think of copying this look today by wearing an oversized shirt as a dress paired with an oversized light brown belt and ankle boots or with high waisted shorts and a pair of sandals?

Flowers are placed as scarves for the Corfiot costume and along with the hairdo, they preserve many and obvious differences between them, so that the village and the family status are recognizable. Isn’t this how it happens with the turban in eastern civilizations in central Asia and Afrika?
You can use the turban instead of a hat, either as a statement fashion piece, or to protect you from the sun.
