There's something about warmer weather that makes us crave a beachside meal, complete with an Aperol Spritz and a bright, flowy dress. Should you feel the same, you're in luck — at least on the fashion front. Italian-style dressing (not to be confused with the beloved salad condiment) is one of the top trends right now, and is essentially a love letter to elevated floral prints, anything that includes a lemon, and more signatures.
We're not sure when or why our favorite fashion houses and stores decided to all in on the super-specific aesthetic the internet has affectionately labeled Amalfi Coast dressing, but we won't complain. There's just something about these designs that bring us joy — whether we're rocking them on a long-awaited vacation or (more realistically) heading to the office — so we're rounding up a few ways to embrace the look ahead.
It's All About the Blue Printed Dress
Lilies are a national symbol of Italy. Roses are its national flower. Sunflowers are native to Italy, and poppies are nicknamed “Tuscan Poppies,” as the Tuscan soil and climate are considered ideal for growing these blooms. So much of Italian art centers around the country’s breathtaking florals; you’ll find a representation of these impressive plants in everything from paintings to Italian tiles. Ergo, opting for anything floral is an easy way to channel the Amalfi Coast aesthetic.

Perhaps nothing represents the Amalfi Coast better than citrus. If a fully printed dress isn't quite your style, you can still incorporate lemons into your outfit through accessories, like a pair of statement earrings, a necklace, a charm bracelet, or a lemon-printed (or shaped!) bag.
