Though Cagli lags behind major fashion centers, local observers say the youth of Cagli have become considerably more fashion-conscious over the past few years, and their taste for fashion continues to evolve.

“Sometimes it can take up to a year for fashion trends of bigger cities to reach Cagli,” said Ilaria Casavecchia, an employee at Rosalba Abbiglismento.

However, according to Alexia Bartolucci owner of Tam Tam, a trendy shop specializing in young men’s and women’s clothing, fashion in Cagli is becoming increasingly edgy.

The men and women of Cagli “tend to stay stylish and comfortable but are becoming more aggressive and are starting to take more risks” with their clothing, said Bartolucci.

On Cagli’s cobblestone streets women can be seen wearing mini-skirts and thin spike heels, often three and a half inches high. This more edgy fashion is also reflected in the hairstyles. The women of Cagli can be seen with layered, darkly streaked blonde hair, rather than more traditional one-color, single-length bobs.

Both men and women can be seen sauntering around the piazza, any time of the day, sporting fashionable attire. “It is difficult to find Italian people who are not well dressed,” said Bartolucci.

A typical outfit for a young Cagliese woman might be a pair of tinted Chanel sunglasses; pointy white pumps; a pair of tight denim pants; a fitted, stretch-fabric jacket; and a neon, jersey tank. Many women wear belts and leather bags that match their shoes. For the men, a typical outfit might be a pair of large Christian Dior sunglasses, a form-fitting Gas T-shirt, crisp blue Diesel denim jeans, and Puma sneakers.

Although Cagli is becoming trendier, young fashion-conscious Calgiesi might choose to shop outside the town, Bartolucci said. Many men and women purchase clothing in neighboring towns like Fano and Urbino because they offer more selection. In Cagli, residents also shop at the Wednesday open market as well as stores like Tam Tam and Rosalba Abbiglismento.

The primary customers for these stores vary, but according to Alexia at Tam Tam, the target age is usually 30 years or under. Bartolucci said that she usually only changes her stock seasonally, but that she will also accept special orders for customers who want something that her store does not carry.

Alexia finds that television is a big fashion influence on Cagli residents. Their clothing often imitates what pop singers, actors and actresses wear, as well as what fashion magazines show. Young Cagli residents tend to be inspired by other countries rather than the United States.
