Need thoughts for what to pack
Dh and i are going to Italy next month and i have NO idea what to wear during the day as we "explore". I HATE the idea of looking so "touristy" but what other choices do i have?
THOUGHTS?
ETA:
When i was in Italy a few yrs ago, and recently in Amsterdam, I realize that Europeans are "so fancy" and trendy. How do they walk all day like that? I mean, i wear heel EVERYDAY to work but....to shop and explore? NO!

Re: Need thoughts for what to pack
I've been to Italy in February and it can be pretty cold - even as far south as Rome. I'd pack layers and comfy walking shoes. Cobblestone streets do not take well to anything with high heals!!!

I went in feb also and the weather was in the 50s for a high- even when we went further south
I wore jeans and sneakers during the day- we were walking alot and I was happy to be in sneakers-

Re: Need thoughts for what to pack
you will look like a foreigner LOL...but that doesn't have to be bad.
wear LIGHT layers. your back will hurt after hours of walking around with your coat on...think WARM but light.
it also depends on where you are. the climate changes dramatically. I wear tshirts during the day in Sicily, but in Milan....LAYERS LAYERS LAYERS.
they are really into long goose down coats...and cute sneakers are fine.
just leave the khakis and white converse at home LOL
have a great time.

I went to Spain and Portugal for my HM this past summer... this is what I observed EVERYONE WAS ALWAYS DRESSED UP!!! But I loved it. I loved getting dressed up! I think it is cold there now... I would throw a skirt into the mix!

Re: Need thoughts for what to pack
DH has traveled extensively all over Europe and the one thing he says that makes Americans stand out like a sore thumb is wearing sneakers, especially white ones. so go look for a comfy pair of walking shoes.
