When you think of Italian fashion, more often than not, you'll think of Versace. Since the 1980s, this opulent fashion house has been emblematic of the rich and extravagant lifestyle Italians adore. And that includes partying as well. In terms of luxury brands, Versace is the go-to for those who want to bling out in a nightclub. A little black dress, for instance, will come decorated in shining golden pins and needles. Want some sparkles? Their slinky chainmail dresses will outline your figure in a dazzling way. And when you for their more tailored looks, expect them to come in crazy prints and bright neon colours!

Gucci is what you might consider the most versatile of all the well-known Italian luxury brands. Outside of fashion, it's simply known as a prominent leather goods store that sells bags with their iconic monogram logos. But for those who live the jet-setting lifestyle of partying all night long in the best cities in the world, Gucci offers a unique wardrobe. Before, their look used to be that of a sexual dominatrix, favouring sharply tailored looks courtesy of Tom Ford. Nowadays, under the design leadership of Alessandro Michele, Gucci provides the quirky and vintage styles perfect for retro-style parties.

The best thing about Moschino is that it's a brand built on a sense of humour and funny irony. And in essence, this is what the Italian's zest for life is all about. Life's too short to be serious all the time, and when it comes to partying, Moschino provides audacious looks that are as attention-grabbing as ever. Many might consider their fashions as tacky but that's the whole point! It's tacky for the sake of tackiness. Extravagant for the sake of extravagance. Who care if you'll look like a Barbie doll in the club? Or if you attend an evening gala dressed as a bouquet of flowers? Live your life the way you want to!

What's one style that Italians—or practically everyone else on the planet as well—want to achieve with their party looks? Sexiness! Everyone wants to look sexy when enjoying a night out! And among the most famous of Italian luxury brands, Dolce & Gabbana is the most unapologetic at it. Sex is literally the foundation of their style, with signatures such as bustier dresses, body-hugging gowns, and underwear-style pieces. Beyond those, however, their particular brand of sexiness has Sicilian and even Roman-Catholic undertones to it, making their looks all the more sensual and a little bit sinful too!

Though sexiness doesn't always have to look like the Dolce & Gabbana way. Nor the Versace way for that matter. When going out and having a good time, who says you can't look elegant at it too? You can just as easily pile on the sexiness and the sparkle without having to reveal too much skin. At least, this is the party style according to Armani. A master of Italian tailoring. Mr Armani has long been a fashion icon and one of the most acclaimed designers in the world. In terms of party-wear, he offers traditional suits all covered in sequins and cocktail dresses that are slinky and sexy without looking vulgar!

No can deny that the big trend these days is streetwear. Oversized outerwear, upgrades sportswear, logo t-shirts, colourful kicks, and more! You'd think that this trend is all about daywear but it isn't! All the signature streetwear pieces that you often wear during the day? You can still wear them when you party during the wee hours of the night too. And no other brand does that style better than Diesel. This denim brand is all about giving party-style staples a harder edge. Their clothes allow you to exhibit a tougher attitude, all while still looking sexy and cool at the same time.

Partying in Italy doesn't always have to mean going to the swanky nightclubs. In the more seaside areas of the country, you'll see countless parties held on beaches, tropical villas, and more. And the styles here are completely different from the urban party scene you're probably more familiar with. Think crazy prints and stunning colours, freeform silhouettes, crocheted pieces, and more. This type of style is the signature of none other than Missoni. A family-owned brand led by women, they've often provided the best resort-style and quintessentially Mediterranean look for those who want to party near the sea!
