What To Wear In Italy
To sum it up - Smart – The Italians like to dress up
- Feel free to be glamorous and stylish.
- Italians like to dress up and you will feel more comfortable in smart casual dress.
- When visiting restaurants our advice would be no trainers, this is a time to get those glamorous sandals or shoes on.
- If you are visiting the big cities leave your swimsuit at home it's very unlikely that you will find facilities to use it.
- It can rain at anytime and our advice would be to pack a light weight raincoat and small umbrella even in the summer.
- Make sure you take comfy footwear for daytime as there are loads of cobbled streets, plus religious sites and museums with wooden floors.
- Save your high heels for the evenings.
- If you are planning on visiting any religious sites then be sure to cover your shoulders and bare legs.
- Be sure to pack your deodorant, this can be hard to buy here.
- In winter ( December - February) wrap up warmer, with layers and take a warm smart coat.
- Clever layering is the key to dressing for changeable weather.
