Summer temperatures range from the low 80s in northern Italy to the 90s in the southern provinces. Whether you are meandering through the small towns or relaxing at the beach, dress appropriately for the provinces' temperatures.
Rome, like many of the country's smaller towns, is a walking city. And many of the towns are hilly. All of this walking, on uneven terrain, requires comfortable clothes and good, sturdy shoes.
Style and fashion are constantly in flux, but linens, cotton and khaki are always a safe choice for both men and women
While loose fitting, light-weight clothes are necessary in the country's warmer climate, ripped t-shirts and raggedy jeans are not suitable. Remember that Italy is a conservative and Catholic country, so a casual tailored look will be appreciated.
