Index 03 | Aperitivo Hour
A midsummer ode to the art of Aperitivo Hour.
Derived from the Latin word aperire, apertivo means “to open.” Notably known as a pre-dinner happy hour of sorts in Italy, it is the act of opening one's stomach before dining. Aperitvo is a cultural ritual encompassing la dolce vita, a life of indolence and self-indulgence. It is the act of slowing down, enjoying your surroundings, socializing, sipping, and eating, preferably al fresco, in the open air. A phenomenon of sorts, Apertivo Hour, is a way of living we wish to embody.

In The Countryside
As the sun begins to set behind the trees in the countryside, indulge in Apertivo Hour with a classic chilled red wine and charcuterie board, perhaps on the porch or picnic style, as the sky turns golden.
Choose something elevated yet comfortable that eludes a sense of carefreeness, like the Permanent Vacation Metaphor Dress in Black Gingham. To simplify things, keep accessories minimal and opt for a no-fuss bag like the Are Studio Quinn Bag in Black and simple footwear like the Rita Row Juana Sandal in White.

Seaside Sipping
After a day under the sun, savor Apertivo Hour and start the evening with an Aperol spritz and a Caprese salad while sitting seaside as the waves crash in and the ocean breeze dances through the air.
Plan a practical outfit that can transition into the night by pairing a versatile swimsuit like the NU Swim Straight One Piece in Black with a light top layer like the Deiji Studios Oversized Shirt Dress in Vintage White. Lastly, choose a pair of functional yet modern shoes like the St. Agni Cross Over Platform Sandal in Black.
