Do Not Uncover Too Much Skin in Italy

I must divulge that even though Italy is one of my favorite countries to visit, there are Italian ideologies that I am not very comfortable with. I had this appalling experience of being stared at when I went to Italy last summer to visit a mate. Since it was very hot during that moment, I decided to wear my vibrant flip-flops and my yellow sun dress to enjoy the tickling heat of the sun. Unfortunately, Italians did not approve of my apparel because I learned that showing off too much skin is a sign of impudent for Italians.

If you don't believe me, just check out the outlets in Italy and you will be petrified to find out that there are very few shops that sell flip-flops or similar footwear. Dress that bare shoulders are improper too in various locations in Italy. When I visited my mate, I did not to go to one of the beaches there, which made me pass over to see what do Italians wear when they go swimming.

I was really disoriented and kind of shook up with the way Italians looked at me when I was wearing my flip-flops and my sun dress. I mean, it was too hot outside and it will be very torturing for me to wear other clothes. Oh well, I guess I should accept the Italians' status quo because I think this was just another instance of culture differences, right?
