What to Wear in Europe

, , 04 February 2009

Amsterdam in Spring
Amsterdam is such an interesting city and wearing an equally interesting outfit while exploring the streets is definitely recommended!


  • Cardigan with a vintage twist
  • Pants or a skirt suitable for riding a bicycle around the city
  • Sneakers which are comfortable but also pretty and/or sparkly
  • Bag to carry a camera, a city map and a handful of Euros

Italy in Summer
If you decide to visit one of Italy's most popular cities during summer then be prepared for stifling heat, queuing for hours to get into any attractions, and the best ice cream in the world!


  • Casual Dress that is light and will help avoid overheating
  • Sandals that are easy to walk in
  • Sunglasses for style and sun protection
  • Bag to hold all the essentials from a phrase book to sunscreen
  • Water Bottle to stay hydrated in the heat

Paris in Autumn
Paris is recognised as one of the most beautiful and stylish cities in the world, and is a great place for people watching as well as taking in the sights. If you need some outfit inspiration have a look at The Cherry Blossom Girl for beautiful Parisian style.

  • Coat to keep warm while strolling by the Seine
  • Scarf for a splash of colour
  • Knit Top or a heavier jersey if it's really cold
  • Skirt in a style that suits you
  • Stockings in a warm fabric such as wool
  • Boots because exploring Paris involves a lot of walking!
  • Lipstick for a hint of that certain je ne sais quoi
  • Camera to record your adventures

Poland in Winter
Traipsing through snow, waiting for trams in the freezing wind, sheltering from the weather in cafes... Poland can get incredibly cold in winter so it pays to wear multiple layers to help you stay as warm as possible!
Polish Winter

  • Jacket designed to withstand very cold temperatures
  • Fleece Top with a hood for extra warmth
  • Thermal Top with long sleeves
  • Singlet or two to build up layers
  • Pants which are practical as well as warm
  • Leggings for an extra layer
  • Thermal Socks or two pairs of normal socks
  • Water Proof Boots that are warm and comfortable to walk in
  • Gloves or mittens
  • Scarf to keep your face and nose warm!
  • Hat with ear flaps
  • Flask of hot chocolate or coffee

    These are so great! I really love the set for Amsterdam; I could see myself wearing an outfit like that. Currently, I'm stuck wearing outfits like Winter in Poland, but my outfits aren't nearly as thought out. Great Idea!

    Thanks :) I've decided I'm going to have to buy a pair of those sparkly sneakers!

    In Italy, it is a good idea to carry a scarf for covering yourself when you visit religious sites.
