Between the sweltering summer heat and fitting in with the fashionable locals, packing for your summer trip to Italy is all about keeping it light and casual with a touch of elegance. Read on to discover all your packing essentials when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/destinations\/europe\/italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travelling to Italy<\/a> during summer &#8211; and start preparing for the ultimate Italian adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-bella-figura\"><strong>La Bella Figura<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Italy is famed for its hot, sunny weather that peaks in the summer months from June to August. It often gets over 30\u00b0C, so you\u2019ll need to come prepared for the heat. But in Italy, that doesn\u2019t mean throwing on an old t-shirt and flip-flops.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Italians are famed for their fashion sense and refined looks. Their concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagazzettaitaliana.com\/history-culture\/9151-la-bella-figura-the-italian-way\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018la bella figura\u2019<\/a>, meaning \u2018the beautiful figure\u2019 is a very important part of their way of life. This doesn\u2019t mean you need to walk around in expensive haute couture, but if you want to fit in with the locals, you should aim to dress neatly and smartly, with groomed hair and nails and ironed clothes &#8211; and definitely no gym clothes on the streets!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-25123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/trevi-fountain-italy-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Trevi Fountain Rome travelling to Italy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/trevi-fountain-italy-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/trevi-fountain-italy-330x186.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/trevi-fountain-italy.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summer-clothes-italian-style\">Summer clothes &#8211; Italian style<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So what should you wear when travelling to Italy during the summer? Go for t-shirts, airy dresses and skirts, light chinos, button up linen shirts or linen pants. Pick items that can be dressed up or down, as you go from museum hopping by day to bar hopping by night. You\u2019ll likely want to have at least one fancier outfit on hand when travelling around Italy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Tiny shorts and crop tops are not advised, and remember you\u2019ll need to keep your knees and shoulders covered when entering churches &#8211; including the famous Vatican in Rome and Santa Croce in Florence. If you\u2019re wearing a sleeveless top, remember to carry a light scarf to wrap around your shoulders when needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em><strong>GET INSPIRED BY: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/best-of-italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best of Italy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-25125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/venice-canal-gondolas-italy-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Venice canal gondolas travelling to Italy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/venice-canal-gondolas-italy-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/venice-canal-gondolas-italy-330x186.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/venice-canal-gondolas-italy.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comfortable-shoes\"><strong>Comfortable shoes <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can expect to walk a lot in Italy and you\u2019ll often be roaming along cobblestoned streets.
