If you’re visiting Rome in the summertime, make sure you pack the right clothes – for weather and for “blending” in! So, what do Italians wear when it’s hot? The answer is not surprising – pants, shorts and cool shirts (like t-shirts and tanks). White, green and blue are the big colors (just like in America).
For footwear, remember that Rome has some pretty tough streets to walk on – cobblestones, for example. Many of the local women seem to walk effortlessly on heels or wedges. But, if you’re not used to that (and to save a trip to the podiatrist when you get home) wear comfortable, low heeled shoes (or tennis shoes). Anticipate that you will walk a lot! If you're not used to lots of walking, or you decide not to wear tennis shoes, bring a box of Band-Aids, just in case. When visiting religious sites remember to cover your shoulders and absolutely no shorts! However, covering your head is not required at most sites.
