What clothes to pack for Rome
 
Hi,
I will be in Rome in April and would love to know what to wear. I think it will be from the 50s to 70s. Can I wear jeans? I don't want to look too dressed down.

That's your call.

Personally speaking, I don't take jeans to Europe. I'll fly domestically with jeans, but not to the Continent.

Well, up to the 25th, take rain gear. After that, not. I am going to rome as well!

Skinny jeans? Great. Eased jeans? No. Dark jeans? Yes. Faded jeans? No.

Take some lighter weight trousers to wear when it is hotter than you expect. Air conditioning is unlikely to be turned on yet.

What do you wear when it is warm/hot and wet? Not jeans.

Take whatever you want to wear, if you're just worried about reactions from others. Look presentable and you'll be fine. Believe me, there were plenty of people dressed "worse" than I was in my boot cut jeans last year.

That said, if you like fashion and are just trying to fit in (though they'll know you're a tourist anyway :) ), dark skinny jeans or other skinny-cut trousers are better and are quite common.
