Fashionable Palermo - Alla moda

 Is it only Sicily or is it a thing? All the fashionable ladies and men were in expensive joggers. Young people and old.  In fact, it was more than 10 days before I saw a well-dressed woman in high heels walking on the cobbles. Previously that masterful walk was everywhere. The shop windows were full of joggers, with a small section devoted to very high heels, seemingly for formal occasions. 

The beautiful young women wear crepe trousers, biggish,  like palazzo pants with a tiny top and joggers, really pared down, minimalist look, very classy. THE colour seems to be an emerald green, bright, but not fluro, - alas not everywhere, but very eye-catching.

In the small villages well dressed older women were in low-ish heels.


Wedding are very big here.   Thursday night is bride-night. I think we saw 4 in Palermo last Thursday. We were right in town,  close to the Quatro Canti....the hottest spot. Wedding parties make their way there for their photos.   One couple even had a drone photographer.   

As we were walking into town, a horse and carriage passed close by, the groom's hand was right next me and I  swear he had had manicure.  Alas, Don never had a manicure when we got married.
