Luxe, Breezy Summer Outfits for Puckery Weather in Rome
Summer heat in Rome can be sweltering, but with the right wardrobe, you can keep cool while looking chic. Choose breathable fabrics such as linen and cotton; a flowing sundress for women or a crisp linen shirt and tailored shorts for men are perfect options. Light, neutral colors will keep you cool — and give you that Italian chic, effortless vibe in winter.
Shoes That Feel Good but Looks Good Too
The cobblestone streets of Rome can be challenging, so the proper pair of shoes is key. Cool leather sandals or breathable loafers are perfect to explore the city comfortably with an effortlessly stylish look. Keep high heels for the evening and head for cushioned flats, or designer sneakers, by day.
Snippet: Be the epitome of Roman chic with these accessories
Wear a couple of carefully selected accessories that will both complement the outfit and serve a purpose. Donning a wide-brimmed straw hat or a chic Panama will shield against the sun while adding an Italian flourish. A good pair of sunglasses is essential in the strong Mediterranean sun, and a light silk or cotton scarf works well to cover your shoulders when in church. Such finer touches paired with your look to capture the essence of the ‘la dolce vita’ spirit while walking through Rome.
