Adding a hover state to hyperlinks throughout your site is a great way to create movement and incorporate an interactive element. We love dressing up our hyperlinks with an italic hover state for a modern and editorial look and feel.

To add italic hover links on your website, navigate to Design > Custom CSS, and copy/paste the following CSS:

 

Italic hover for headings:

// H1 ITALIC HOVER h1 a:hover {font-style: italic;} // H2 ITALIC HOVER h2 a:hover {font-style: italic;} header nav a:hover{font-style: italic;} // H3 ITALIC HOVER h3 a:hover {font-style: italic;} // H4 ITALIC HOVER h4 a:hover {font-style: italic;}
 

Italic hover for paragraphs:

// PARAGRAPH ITALIC HOVER p a:hover{font-style: italic;}
 

Italic hover for navigation links:

// ITALIC HOVER FOR NAV LINKS header nav a:hover{font-style: italic;}
