Un I love you with Fratinardi, gift ideas for lovers’ day

Posted on 29 January 2022 by Valeria Rusto

Are you looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift? If you are tired or tired of giving the usual sweets or a simple bouquet of flowers, today we want to recommend the gifts that can surprise the person you love.

Valentine’s Day is upon us and better not to be caught unprepared. The shop windows are full of hearts, precious boxes and delicate flowers. But what are you going to give to your other half? Fratinardi, as always, is ready to lend you a hand and help you in the perfect gift, in theme and undoubtedly precious for your him or her.

Do you know why Valentine’s Day is celebrated?

An ancient legend tells that Valentino was a third-century priest in Rome. At that time, Emperor Claudius decided that war was no longer a business for those who thought of wives and children and that single people were more predisposed to fight in war, because they were not in love and therefore without ties. He then abolished marriage and engagements between conscript-age boys. Valentino did not like this idea and opposed it. On February 14 he celebrated an engagement, Claudio discovered it and sentenced him to death.

The idea of making it a commercial holiday originated in the United States when business woman Esther Howland began producing Valentine’s Day cards on an industrial scale.

Theme gifts… hearts.

Not just cards, sweets and flowers, for one’s love one thinks of a real gift. Advice? Hearts, synonymous with Valentine’s Day. The New S / S 2022 Collection offers many accessories with the “heart” theme as the protagonist. A romantic and above all useful gift can be one of the Love Moschino accessories. Shopping bag, shoulder bag or a maxi wallet characterized by neutral colors and a heart on the front.

Not least are the Liu Jo accessories with a dark background but with a myriad of hearts that praise romanticism. Backpack and shoulder bag for your sweetheart, always struggling with everyday life between work and going out with friends.

Valentine’s Day for him?

A useful and always appreciated gift is certainly a watch that, like for Christmas, a Seymour Phantom watch from the Trendhim line can be for you as well. There is also a selection of Piquadro backpacks and wallets for a companion with a professional and business man style. For your sporty and alternative man, a Momo Design backpack is the perfect ally for a day always on the go or for going out of town.

Posted on 14 January 2022 by Valeria Rusto

Always trendy, comfortable and very warm. MOUs are winter footwear.

Mou boots are definitely a big trend for youth fashion. Hard to believe but they are very easy to combine with any style, from a skirt to a pair of jeans, from a jumpsuit to a comfortable dress. Perfect for a casual style In recent years, the trend has dictated the law.

The Mou must be combined with a suit.

Put on your beloved sweatshirt and gymnastic pants with ribbed ankle. To create a sporty look, the Mou perfectly complement the outfit. But remember: soft and not too loose suit.

Jeans? Approved but strictly skinny.

The Mou boots can also be worn with a pair of skinny jeans. Tight ones are preferable so as to bring the entire fabric inside the boot: jeans that are too loose can make your figure too abundant and not very slender.

Mou for elegant outings

If you are not the skinny type and prefer cotton trousers, here are some tips for you. Avoid palazzo pants as you have to pay attention to the proportions: straight cut or cigarette pants are preferable.

The Mou Eskimo always prefer a casual style and certainly close a daily look capable of accompanying the woman during all hours between shopping, aperitifs or simply work. A white t-shirt and cardigan can accompany footwear in what is called the look of the day. Glamor, chic and comfortable.

And the skirts? Of course yes!

To make your look refined and elegant, the Mou can also be combined with a skirt, so as to give a greater touch of femininity. A wool suit, perhaps not too tight with black socks, would be ideal for the winter period. Sophisticated and sexy too. Avoid skirts that are too long, the ideal would be a length up to the knee.

Now you have no excuses. If your existential doubt was “I just don’t know how to combine them”, today you can easily buy them. On Fratinardi.it there is a detailed selection of the most popular Mou of the moment. Sneakers, rhinestones, high or low, every woman can better enjoy this experience and with our online shop you can receive them directly to your home in 24 hours with a click.

Wedding dresses and shoes, the new 2022 trends

Posted on 12 January 2022 by Valeria Rusto

It is not you who choose the dress, but it is the dress that you choose. And the shoes?

For those who have already taken the big step, they know perfectly well what they say inside a wedding dress atelier. “Take a deep breath and wait for the dress to choose you”, this usually happens. Try on so many dresses but in the end only one will make you lose your head and with the addition of the veil it will make you move with tears in your eyes.

From the classic white dress with a train to the more contemporary short, from maxi bows at the waist to seductive necklines, veil or veil, tiara and gloves, the 2022 trends meet the needs of all brides. The new collections convey strength, energy and a lot of courage. This is defined by the shapes and colors, by the innovative and also sustainable design.

Bridal trends to be inspired by

Flakes – Romantic, bon ton. They can be a connecting element, an accessory to detach or why not, a bow can also be a neckline. It is certainly a feminine and romantic detail that today becomes one of the most important trends.

Sleeves – They can be balloon, puff, cascading, with ruffles. The sleeves are the central element of the bridal look and can become a sartorial detail that can immediately attract attention.

Bodices worked – Corsets covered with rhinestones, bright overlays, also semi-transparent, screwed and that highlight the bride’s body, making it not only elegant but at times very seductive.

Train – 2022 says goodbye to the meter-long train like Lady Diana. He prefers a short length, capable of surprising.

Ruffles and ruffles – If you want to give volume to your bridal look you have to choose these details. Whether they are in silk, in chiffon or even in simple and delicate tulle, the flounces will help to give even more shape to your body.

Back in time – Whether it’s a civil ceremony or in front of the altar, even a vintage-style blazer with skirt can be an important touch and a bold look, for a sophisticated bride. The return to the 20s or 60s, a boho chic style, are eras that never go out of fashion and 2022 will always consider them as golden years for fashion.

Once you’ve chosen the dress, that’s not all for your look. Shoes are a detail that often makes the difference. Always besieged by photographers, wedding shoes are a detail that determines or highlights the style that the bride has promoted for your wedding. The new Francesco Couture collection offers many models for every bride and every personality.

A bold high heel for a glamorous bride with bright appliqués on the front; a sandal covered with stars with an ankle strap for a romantic woman; a slightly lower heel for a bridal look with vintage and vintage tones in ivory colors and warm shades.

Then there is the alternative bride, the one who goes beyond any trend. The one who will not wear a white heel on her feet but a colored sandal, perhaps that can also be used on other occasions.

For each bride her own dress but above all her own shoes and on Fratinardi.it of bridal shoes you will find so many. A team of professionals will help you choose the right footwear taking into consideration every detail of your special day, without forgetting your wedding wishes.

Does gifting shoes bring bad luck? The answer is no, let’s debunk the legend

Posted on 24 December 2021 by Valeria Rusto

Let’s start this article with a question: Have you ever given a pair of shoes as a gift?

Perhaps the new generations have never listened to beliefs or so-called urban legends, but surely by asking grandparents or parents they will be able to explain why giving shoes as a gift can bring bad luck to those who receive them. The theory starts from the syllogism of three words: shoes, walk, move away. Giving away shoes could lead us away from the person who receives them as a gift. This is because shoes are synonymous with departure. Another rumor can be explained with the typical phrase: “Making someone’s shoes”, or cheating, deceiving someone.

The time has come, therefore, to dispel this theory and reassure all those who are superstitious.

If you have seen a pair of shoes on Fratinardi.it or in our boutiques and you intend to have them as a gift for Christmas, hold on and continue to persuade your loved one by letting him know that you want to find those under the tree. You will only have to do one thing: return a coin, with a symbolic value, to the person who dared to give the shoes away. Like when we give a new wallet and put a penny inside it. We have found the way to overcome this legend and if you didn’t know it now you can rest assured.

Black cats, stairs, mirrors and so on and so forth, there are so many beliefs but you have to know them well before you can believe them. Have a coin ready and keep wanting that pair of shoes. Christmas is near and you still have time to give or to be given ankle boots, sneakers, amphibians, ballet flats, 12 heels and how many other types of shoes you dream of.

Hogan, NeroGiardini, Cult, Liu Jo, there are many brands available in our boutiques in Battipaglia as well as on our online shop. Gifting a pair of shoes can be done and with us you can have the gift delivered directly to the recipient’s home in just 24 hours. What are you waiting for? You still have time.

A real e-commerce revolution is underway to safeguard our wallet and approach Christmas shopping with a calm soul. We have compiled a real wish list to make all the people we love happy. From dad to best friend, from son to grandmother, everyone must be surprised under the tree.

It is not a superficial gift, because even a hat or scarf must be chosen carefully. The fabric, the pattern, the details, every detail plays an important role this Christmas. Animalier or solid color? See, it’s difficult. It must best reflect the personality of the aunt you see once in a while but who deserves a thought from you. A Christmas gift to wrap around the neck and to be placed on the shoulders is the right thought for the aunt who always wants to be fashionable and with a Liu Jo scarf you can’t go wrong.

Black Friday 2021: the blackest day that exists

Posted on 18 November 2021 by Valeria Rusto

Have you ever wondered why this famous Friday is so black?

The American tradition has it that this phenomenon of sales takes place precisely in the aftermath of Thanksgiving, a holiday that in the USA is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. While in 1621 pilgrims thank God for a good harvest, almost four centuries later in the 1960s, shopkeepers got into the habit of offering special discounts to encourage shopping and kickstart Christmas shopping. Different customs but common goal: to enrich the “harvest”.

Why really black? At the time, the books of accountants were filled in with pen using two colors: red for loss accounts and black for positive accounts. And on that Friday after Thanksgiving, thanks to promotions, the accounts were definitely in the black. On the other hand, there are those who prefer to this version, a much more frenetic one: how black do you see it on the streets, between traffic and queues in the shops?

Pitti Uomo 2020 – News and vintage scents for the menswear

Posted on 23 January 2020 by Valeria Rusto

Always looking for new trends, Fratinardi takes part in the Pitti Uomo 2020 in Florence.

Also this year Fratinardi was at the Pitti Uomo 2020. New trends always more innovative for the menswear, from head to toe. Hats, outerwear, jackets, suits for a man always in step with fashion. Many news about shoes: sneakers, mocassini and lace up. A shoe for any type of man, for any way of dressing and any kind of passion.

There is who is fascinated about catwalks and who walks in a street as it was a catwalk. In fact, celebrities, influencers and fashion men lay down the law about fashion.

The goal for this Pitti Uomo 2020 was to overcome the border between what is considered formal and what is completely elegant. Yes for the original clothes like vintage accessories and details and suede decorations. The old Hollywood is back in the street with clothes which remind to the college.

Key word for the future? Research.

Few but essential details to dress in the right way and in step with fashion. No maxi bags or fluo colours. Men can’t take themselves too seriously. And if, like William Somerset Maugham said : “The elegant man is the one you don’t notice the suit of”, it’s time to focus on details then.
