\"What<\/figure>\n

If you’re mentally ready to experience Rome’s ancient sights and relax with an Aperol Spritz in hand but have no idea what to wear, I have you covered on what to wear in Rome Italy in this post. <\/p>\n

Dressing for Rome can produce challenges like looking stylish in the blistering heat and packing the right shoes that can handle the tricky ancient cobblestone streets (I recommend these comfortable Dr. Scholl’s sneakers<\/a><\/strong> that go with every outfit).<\/p>\n

Having visited Rome many times, I’ve learned a great deal about the must-haves to pack for a pleasant trip to the Eternal City\u2014all while being comfortable, practical, and looking chic!<\/p>\n

If you’re exploring more regions in Italy, I have even more tips on What to Wear in Italy By Season<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What to Wear in Rome<\/h2>\n

If I had to describe the style in Rome, I’d say it’s classic and comfortable. You won’t see the Italians wearing much athlesuire, sports shirts, and gym shoes. Instead, everything is a bit more tailored and stylish. <\/p>\n

Not saying you can’t wear a t-shirt. I love these simple Amazon jersey t-shirts<\/a><\/strong> that are incredibly comfortable to wear and pair great with a linen or tailored pant. I wore the striped one on my last visit to Rome. Plus they are moisture wicking, perfect for a hot Roman day.<\/p>\n

The color palette of Rome matched the natural architecture of the streets. Lots of neutral earthy colors blend perfectly with the ambience.<\/p>\n

Of course, with any trip, wear what you feel the most comfortable in, but if you want to mimic the local style opt for the basics and leave the sports fan gear at home.<\/p>\n

P.S<\/strong>. I have loads of outfit inspiration at the end of this post. <\/p>\n

Linen & Lightweight Fabrics<\/h3>\n

If you’re headed to Rome in the summer, opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen<\/strong>. You’ll see linen shops all over Rome, and in my opinion, linen is the fabric of Italy. <\/p>\n

Linen is perfect for summer because the heat is no joke. Linen is so breathable, making you feel cooler in the heat. Plus it dries quickly keeping you nice and dry.<\/p>\n

I lived in linen dresses<\/a><\/strong> and shirts on my visit to Rome. A classic white linen shirt<\/a><\/strong> will do you wonders and will be so versatile on your trip.<\/p>\n

And for 2025, I love wearing a linen vest & linen bottoms for a chic elevated look. <\/p>\n
