It is perfectly reasonable to pay less attention to the dress code while on vacation, but let us just say that\u00a0travel to Italy allows for a few exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Italians are famous all over the world for having a certain flair for fashion and elegance, and how could it be otherwise for people from the country of Valentino, Dolce &amp; Gabbana, Prada and Gucci?\u00a0This is the reason why, when traveling in Italy,\u00a0you should\u00a0definitely pay a little more attention to what you put on in the morning (at least <a href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/tips-travelers\/how-to-not-look-like-a-tourist-in-italy\/\">if you don&#8217;t want to be recognized as a tourist <\/a>from the very moment you step out of your hotel).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Here are a few tips on how to dress in Italy during summer<\/strong>, so you won&#8217;t be looked at with that &#8220;Oh-my-God-another-tourist&#8221; eye\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Beach Clothes<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Italy is the Land of Sun, and in summertime it is almost always very hot and sunny, but this does not mean that you are at the beach and can dress as you would do in Cancun. Especially when you are visiting big cities\u00a0like Florence or Rome,\u00a0or locations not right on the shore, shorts, crop tops, short skirts and flip flops are definitely not the proper outfit for the day.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cHere comes the tourist\u201d<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"How to Pack Smartly for Your Italian Vacation\" href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/tips-travelers\/how-to-pack-smartly-for-your-italian-vacation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">When\u00a0packing for a trip to Italy<\/a>, it can be hard to leave behind the favorites from your baseball cap collection, but bringing along Hawaiian shirts or very eye-catching clothes might not be the greatest thing to do. Try to leave your beloved Knicks t-shirt, safari hats, multi-pocket jackets and your beautiful yellow and green backpack in the closet back home. Attempt, instead, to observe the Italian style and try to dress in an elegant and understated way. And if you are planning on wearing sandals, don\u2019t even think about pairing them with knee-high white (or, even worse, striped) socks! Please\u2026just don\u2019t do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Decent Clothing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course summer in Italy can be hot and the temptation to go around the cities in shorts and skimpy clothes is high but, as you probably know, Italy is full of religious sites and churches that are a big part of a trip&#8217;s must-sees. You need to be aware that you won\u2019t be allowed in any of these places without decent clothing &#8212; &#8220;decent&#8221; means you should have your shoulders and knees covered and not wear anything excessively showy. The Vatican is definitely worth a jacket, trust us!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Go Classy<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Italy is the place where the world\u2019s most famous designers were born and get their inspiration so there is no doubt that when it comes to clothing, Italians do it better. If you really want to camouflage yourself and dress as the Italians do, but without spending all your money in Gucci and Prada boutiques, you are in the right place. In general, Italians have a natural tendency towards elegance so you will find classy and fashionable apparel in almost every shop in Italy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>We hope our suggestions on clothing have inspired you, but in case you still need some help, you can&#8217;t go wrong with\u00a0our shopping tour of Milan!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know how travelling around the world can be extremely pleasant but also very energy-consuming and that, when you are on a trip, the least thing you want to think about is what to wear on that particular day.
