What to Wear in Italy

What should you wear in Italy? That really depends on where you’re going and when.

In northern Italy, you’ll want to pack a jacket and a few lightweight sweaters in the spring and fall, and ski-weight clothing if you’re planning on visiting the Dolomites or areas near Austria and Switzerland in the wintertime. Southern Italy is a different story. Pack a sundress and casual sandals, and definitely that lemon print dress for the Amalfi Coast! Traveling shoulder season in either north or south, we suggest bringing a packable rain jacket for unpredictable weather.

These are a few must-haves and several items just for fun!
