Italy
If there is a country that defines style, and the world emulates that style that is Italy. Think Ferrari, Armani, Gucci. Have you ever seen a poorly dressed Italian? Even their language sounds stylish. So when you see the postcards, and read about Italy, they talk about all the history of the place. And its true, while other countries have a history, Italy is history. Rome, Venice, Florence to name just a few. So if you plan to experience Italy, do it the way the Romans do go in style.
