Shopping in Naples

Naples is the world capital of the soft shoulder, and it wears the title without ceremony. In Chiaia, tailoring is a neighborhood industry: ties cut by hand at dawn, jackets that weigh nothing, espresso offered before commerce. Nothing here is a flagship; everything is a family.

The walk: Naples — The Chiaia Menswear Walk — 3 hours.
