Most people visit Naples while on a trip to Rome because they are a train ride apart. Though both cities are awesome to visit, their dress codes are totally different. Unlike the vibrant and fashion inspired Rome, Naples features a laid back dressing style that is in line with the streets full of graffiti, cool city vibes and underground nightclubs. If you plan to visit Naples Italy, what to wear might be challenging. Below are a few tips to assist you with this.
Travel Essentials
Sunglasses are a must have despite the season. The sun always shines in Italy. However, the summer and spring sun can be detrimental if you are not used to direct sun rays. Thus, you should pack sunscreen especially if you plan to be outdoors often. A fancy pair of heels is also recommended. Italians dine with style and you may be denied access to some venues if you are in flat shoes.
Clothes
Dark and neutral colours are universally acceptable. Thus, you should consider dark multi-wear dresses when heading to Naples. They can be worn more than once. Moreover, Italians prefer darker colours. Thus, bright colours could betray you. The clothes should be lightweight for easy washing and drying.
Proper Shoes
Shopping is irresistible while in Naples. This means that you will have to pass through the alleyways, cobblestone steers and up hills that are charming but not so clean. Therefore, avoid sandals and open shoes. Consider runners and closed flat shoes.
A Pair of Jeans
You can never go wrong with jeans. A trendy pair of jeans can be handy during the day and at night as well. Skinny jeans and boyfriend style jeans are quite popular in Naples. Pair the jeans with a nice pair of heels, sparkly top and elegant jacket to dress up for dinner.
Accessorize
Accessories always make a bold fashion statement. Therefore, to add a touch of class, add a great jewellery piece such as a bracelet or necklace. They allow you reuse your dark and neutral outfits discussed above while still expressing your fashion sense. Moreover, you can buy custom jewellery pieces in Naples at reasonable prices. This makes you feel in sync with the city and its culture.
Cross Body Bag
Despite its beauty and uniqueness, Naples has a higher non-violent crime rate as compared to other cities in Italy. Tourist theft is very common. To avoid being a victim, consider a cross body bag that carries your personal effects safely in front of you.
