How To Pack For Italy Trip

Let’s start with some Packing Tips:

• Most tried-and-true travelers will recommend that you pack super light when going abroad to save space for the inevitable souvenirs you will pick up. So bear that in mind when you are planning your Italy travel wear.
• You can either opt for a capsule wardrobe to optimize luggage space or if you are only staying a short while, a more extensive, fashion-conscious wardrobe.
• The season will also determine what you end up packing. Italy is quite hot during the summer, especially during July and August, so if you are going during the summer months, make sure you pack light, breathable clothing. 

↓ 15 – Choosing a Capsule Wardrobe When Packing For Italy Trip

The rule of thumb for creating a capsule wardrobe is designing a wardrobe where every piece works with each other. Some people choose a 37-piece limit; others 50. You will also want to stick to a basic color scheme.

Depending on how long you will be traveling determines how many pieces you ultimately bring along with you, but here are twelve pieces we think are essential:

1. Two dresses (choose colors and a cut that complement your complexion and figure, as well as can be dressed up or dressed down according to the occasion)
2. Trousers and/or jeans
3. Long-sleeved shirt
4. Sweater/Cardigan if traveling in Fall/Winter
5. Shorts
6. Blouse
7. Tee shirts
8. Underclothes
9. Well-fitting, classic jacket
10. Jumpsuit
11. A Versatile Skirt that you can pair with any shirt
12. One pair of sneakers/walking shoes and neutral heels that can be paired with any outfit
