Ciao, fashionistas! Planning a whirlwind adventure to Bellinzona, Switzerland? This charming Swiss town nestled in Ticino demands an outfit that’s both comfortable and chic, perfect for exploring historic castles and browsing charming piazzas.
Imagine this: you’re scaling the ramparts of Castelgrande, the largest and oldest of Bellinzona’s magnificent castles. The crisp mountain air whips through your hair, and the breathtaking panorama of the city unfolds before you. But amidst the historical reverie, you also want to look effortlessly stylish.
A crisp white button-down shirt is a timeless foundation. Opt for a fitted silhouette that tucks neatly into your pants, but allows for ease of movement as you navigate the castle grounds.
Pants with Panache: Your brown chocolate-colored leather baggy pants are the perfect choice! They offer incredible comfort for climbing stairs and uneven terrain, but with a touch of sophistication thanks to the rich leather material. The relaxed, baggy silhouette is on-trend and will keep you cool throughout the day. A stylish obi belt in a complementary color like black or camel can beautifully cinch your waist and add a touch of elegance. Opt for an obi belt with a classic knot or tie detail to maintain a clean and sophisticated look while also bringing a touch of unique style to your outfit.
Instead of ankle boots, consider trendy white boots to match the rich chocolate brown color scheme of your outfit. White boots can add a chic and contemporary touch while still coordinating beautifully with your ensemble.
A crossbody / Handbag in a white/ neutral color is both stylish and practical, keeping your essentials close at hand while allowing for freedom of movement.
You’re geared to approach Bellinzona with style! The combination of comfort and flair, this outfit will make you look just stunning as you wander around the town steeped in history and filled with pretty alleys.
Bonus Tip: Take an addition of a thin scarf or jacket in a neutral color for the unpredictable weather. It is yet another way to express my taste and feel the warmth if need be.
So, have a good day in the Bellinzona and enjoy the trip! Buon viaggio!
By the end of the journey, I felt like I would never get enough of the beauty, and history of Milan that still was left undiscovered. Bellinzona proved to be just the right destination – conveniently close for a fleeting day out but also abounding with visual beauty from magnificent castles, stunning scenery, and the colorful bazaar that will leave you contented.
