Treviso Travel Forum

I'm an active 40+ Aussie & this is my first trip abroad departing mid May. Dubai 2day stopover then London 1 week with friends. Paris on our own for 4 days - doing Moulin Rouge Show & museum tours. June 1st -10 day bus tour from Rome, Florence & Venice & then spending 3 weeks in Treviso with family. I would like some suggestion on appropriate clothing for any or all of the above.

It depends on where you plan to go, but what works well for me is a pair of black nice pants with a nice top and maybe a light nice jacket with a little (fashion) jewelery and you are dressed well for all occurrences.

For the rest pack lightly, thinking in layers and wash or have washed if necessary, would be my suggestion. Jeans, blouses/nice short sleeved t-shirts , a very light jumper or cardigan, something wind/waterproof, a pair of nice shoes plus a pair of very comfortable shoes. If you need sandals or lighter clothes, just buy them, if you can.

Have fun and enjoy your trip

Possibly one of those fold-up umbrellas. Comfortable shoes!

Clothes you can layer (for London at least).

Please don't think that you have to be smartly-dressed in London or Paris or elsewhere: you don't unless you are going somewhere posh. Dress for comfort, especially your feet.......you'll be doing a lot of walking (hopefully!). No heels (except for going out), trainers and/or walking sandals. Cobbles and uneven pavements are the norm in the Italian cities you will be visiting.

My 'what to wear in London' travelogues may reassure (and amuse) you:

Don't forget something for your head (it will almost certainly be sunny whilst you are in Italy), and your sunglasses (and suncream). Waterproof jacket and/or umbrella are esential for London. :-)
