An outfit that channels these nastolgia-infused movies is bound to give your summer style the perfect European touch. 

Summer is approaching, and in the sunny season it&#39;s always a good idea to dress like we are due for a boat ride around the Italian coast (even if we&#39;re staying put). With the arrival of warm weather, there is no better time to break out your<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/white-romantic-shirts-spring-summer-trend">&nbsp;linens</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/white-dresses-summer-2021-fashion-trend" rel="noopener" target="_blank">sun dresses</a><a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/best-easter-dresses-outfit">,</a> and cut-off shorts&mdash;no lavish travels required. If you are in need of some style inspiration,<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/tie-dye-trend-hippies-style-from-the-runways"> a&nbsp;summer&nbsp;film</a> might be the perfect (COVID-19-free) destination. However, the average beachy flick will not suffice. For the ultimate summer fashion films, look to those set in the epicenter of classic, sun-drenched style: Italy. From&nbsp;The Talented Mr. Ripley&nbsp;to Call Me By Your Name, these movies will imbue your closet with that nostalgic-feeling, but timelessly chic looks&nbsp;that will makes waves in the city&nbsp;and&nbsp;the Riviera.&nbsp;

Roman Holiday&nbsp;is a quintessential Italian summer film. Starring&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/ballet-flats-are-back-spring-summer-trend" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Audrey Hepburn</a>&nbsp;as a princess who wants to live normally for a day and Gregory Peck as a journalist who becomes her guide, the movie follows the the duo as they travel through Rome&nbsp;and fall in love. The iconic costume designer Edith Head was responsible for the many stunning looks that grace both actors. From opulent gowns to elegant a-line skirts, this film is perfect if your looking to achieve a &#39;50s-chic summertime ensemble.&nbsp;

Stealing Beauty&nbsp;follows Lucy Harmon (Liv Tyler) as she returns to a Tuscan town where her mother once captivated the entirety of the local male population. The young actress explores love and intimacy while similarly enchanting many men along the way. She wears floral&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/spring-summer-trend-crochet" rel="noopener" target="_blank">sun dresses</a>&nbsp;and often appears barefoot, making her the archetype for the care-free enamoring traveler.&nbsp;

The Talented Mr. Ripley&nbsp;is an excellent film to watch if you&#39;re planning a mental (or physical) trip to the Italian coast.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/gwyneth-paltrow-launches-goop-coffee" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Gwyneth Paltrow</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/rafferty-law-model-actor-interview-jude-law" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Jude Law</a>, and Matt Damon appear in breezy linens, bright patterns, and perfect tans to match. The trio embodies the light-hearted way of dressing that accompanies a coastal lifestyle&ndash;&ndash;that is, until the end of the movie.&nbsp;
