It’s Italian Girl Summer & These Essentials Will Mentally Transport You To Sicily
No passport required.
It might feel like this every year, but 2025 is having an Italian Girl Summer. Instagram feeds are flooded with enviable views of the Mediterranean, everyone at your favorite restaurant seems to be sipping on spritzes, and tomatoes are showing up just as often on dinner party menus as they are in the table decor. Even if you don’t have a flight to Italy on the books, you might be wondering how to infuse a bit of la dolce vita into your summer plans.
Italian Girl Summer is a state of mind, after all, and surrounding yourself with the right fashion, beauty, and decor items can transport you just as well as a plane ticket. A printed headscarf can make a walk around Central Park feel like a stroll through Rome’s Villa Borghese. A playful bikini brings a touch of yacht life to your neighborhood pool. And sipping on a refreshing can of Sanpellegrino® CIAO! in your backyard can drum up that refreshing feeling of enjoying a drink on a boat in Lake Como.
Sanpellegrino CIAO!, the new flavored sparkling water from Sanpellegrino®, is inspired by Italians’ unmistakable zest for life. Each can pays homage to Italy’s long-held tradition of blending sparkling water with citrus juice and a pinch of Sicilian salt, offering a sophisticated, bright, and balanced drink for al fresco lunches and late-night beach hangs alike. With 0g added sugar, no artificial colors or sweeteners, and just 10 calories or less per can, this refreshingly light sip is one you’ll keep coming back to. And with four flavors — peach, blood orange, lime, and cherry — made with real fruit juices, you’ll never run out of reasons to crack one open.
From what we drink to what we wear, this summer is all about chasing that much-needed sense of escapism. Below, find 12 items that scream Italian Girl Summer — no passport required.
