Italian fashion/style in the '60s

I thought it was cool that the way the protagonist and his wife dressed would be hip today. Her glasses especially were very au courant. Also interesting that they were both contemptuous of the fashion choices of his mistress; yet although her clothing was more garish than theirs by a long way, there was still something very put together about it that would not be the case with a similar character in an American film. Furthermore, the mistress half-modestly confessed to looking like a hick, but then said her dress was out of Vogue; was that something that would be the mark of a hick in that place and time? I think of Vogue as being far beyond the hick level.
