That actually makes a lot of sense. When it gets hot in Canada we wear shorts whenever possible because it doesn't stay hot for long. Also, I couldn't stop staring at that piece of hair 😂
Nooo sorry for the distracting piece of hair! 😂
The way you say "sandals" is so lovely. This makes a lot of sense. I live in the Southern US and our weather varies from moment to moment. This past year we had Spring weather beginning in February. It's now August and boiling hot. There are only so many things you can take off in public before it becomes indecent! If we started wearing summer clothes in February, we'd all be nude by July! ^_^
I have been watching so many of your videos lately because in 28 days I will be in Italy. They are always so helpful and give such great insight to people like me, who have no clue what they are doing.
You are the reason I am going to survive my visit. Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much for these kind words!
You will definitely not only survive but enjoy your visit a lot!
Even if you don't follow my tips and wear socks and sandals, you'll just get a few more stares haha
Rome Inside Luckily I passed that phase years ago. 😂
Very true about the English. That’s what I tell people all the time!!
Thank you for confirming that! I was a little afraid of the English reactions 😂
As an English person, I'm finding your videos very useful and learning a lot about Italian culture. I'm going to Italy for the first time in October and looking forward to it. I shall stick to Autumn colours and layering when I arrive, no sandals for me. :-) Keep up the great work, your videos are awesome!
Thank you so much! (Btw I love your name!)
Going to Italy during march break with school, pretty sure everyone's gonna be wearing shorts since we'll switch from Canada's -20's and 50 centimeters of snow to Italy's 20 😂
Vivo in Italia da 17 anni e imitando gli italiani mi sono naturalmente adattata alla scelta del guardaroba di mezza stagione. Grazie a te finalmente ho capito la logica sottostante.😀
I'm from Texas and the spring and fall weather can vary drastically during the same day, including some very high or low temps. Most tend to dress for the season AND the weather. Meaning, if it's a hot day in October, you'll see everything from jeans and booties, sandals, shorts, and sleeveless dresses. Most will be fashionably layered and in seasonal colors. We stop wearing the summery tropical colors and opt for richer hues. I'll be traveling with friends in Sicily for a few weeks in October and while we'll probably look like tourists, we will all be fashionably dressed for the weather AND season. I just don't want to dress in clothes and shoes that are too warm for the weather when we could be cute AND comfortable instead. I love your very informative and fun videos. 💖
Very very similar weather here , except not everyone follows a way of wearing clothes and some have already started wearing shorts and thin strapped tops.
Great video :)
Ciao da Malta 🇲🇹
Cannot stop laughing when you commented about the UK "summer". 3 days with full sun and yes, that is the summer in UK :)
All of your videos are so helpful
I never knew this! So interesting
I love how the temperature drops at night. 😀 I love the rain in may and June. I also love my stone Italian house it's extremely cool even in 40+°c yes in December in -18°c it's bloody freezing but that's what my beautiful wood fire place is for. 😁
I’ve been binging on your videos because they are so helpful and I leave for Rome in 16 days - woohoo! Now I’m worried about what I should wear since I’ll be there late May to mid June!
I would suggest you to pack both a pair of sandals and some sneakers!
Skirts, ripped jeans, dresses, plain t-shirts, light sweaters and a light raincoat 😃
totally agree being an Italy-based American. Layer principle dudes....layer principle ....
Questo video è il verbo e lo diffonderò adeguatamente!
Haha contenta che ti sia piaciuto!
You guys would do well in Colorado, USA . Our weather starts cool, gets boiling hot in the mid-day, and thunderstorms in late afternoon.
Very true. we're experiencing a weird spring here in Jordan. temperatures are up and down daily. Best solution for me is T-shirt plus light jacket combo
Today I wore a long sleeved t-shirt and a quite wintery hoodie haha
But to be fair, right now it's 25°C (and it's 2:30 pm), so I'm probably just being a bit cold sensitive!
I am SO glad I found your channel! I am traveling to Italy for the first time in one week... I am so unprepared. What the heck do I wear?
First and most important tip: check out the weather! 😃
Jeans (ripped jeans are fine too), long skirts, floaty pants; colour block t-shirts, shirts, leather/jeans jackets, light sweaters...
Hey travelling in october.. can you help what the temperatures would be? What all should i carry with myself to wear!
I will be visiting Rome from June 2nd through 9th. What do you recommend I wear?
Wow, great video! Brava!
I am reading that many people are going to visit Italy during every seasons of the year. Don't forget this: Rome isn't Italy and every Italian area is very different from region to region, especially if you are travelling toward north o toward south. In Rome, to do a simple example, Winter and Autumn could be colder than in Palermo, but there are many towns of North, like mine one, where the Winter temperature is often 16 - 19 Celsius degrees under zero, while it rise to 45 - 50 degrees in Summer. Use your common sense to get every information about the weather of your destination zone and don't trust the stereotypes about Italy.
In Canada, the second the snow melts we put our shorts and sandals on and don't take them off until it snows again. Which is about 3 months lol.
Hahaha love that!
Hello! I'm be visiting Rome from Oct 5, what sort of clothes would you recommend?
I live in the Dallas Texas, U.S. area and we have hot summers too. We have already had temperatures in the 80's fahrenheit for a couple of weeks. This week it will be in the high 80's, reaching 90, all week. Midsummer, the temperatures will not drop below 80 at night and it will stay hot until October. I have friends that wear FLIP FLOPS (gasp) all year, except if it snows, which is rare. Many/most women wear flip flops starting in spring, through summer. I wear sandals starting now, until October or even November. Very interesting differences.
Italy has very hot summers, but also very cold winters. In the summer, you want to take off your skin because of the heat, but in winter in some parts of the peninsula, the snow is so much that you can not leave your house. Acclimatization is necessary in most of the country, it's necessary to survive.
I’ll be in Rome in 10 days. Are Birkenstock’s to Summery for end of October? I I love them confortable. First time to Italy. excited. Traveling by myself
I would say they're a bit too summery... Especially cause you have chances of rain!
I'd heard about this for years and was surprised to see it being true. I'll never forget seeing little old ladies in Milano dressed in long fur coats riding bikes on a nice warm day...that fell unusually in the middle of the winter.
and haha I've seen this first hand what you mentioned about the British, doesn't matter where they are, if it's slightly warm... time for shorts, t-shirt and and lots of skin showing.
oh goodness, forget sudden rainstorms, today where I live we had a full on hail storm!
I've also heard people explain one reason for doing wearing clothes for cooler weather later in the season is because of not wanting to get sick.
fun video, looking forward to the next ^_^
Haha yeah, that's very true!
Also whenever I see British people (or anyone really) wearing t-shirts and sandals in April or May I can't help but thinking "Hold on! It's not summer yet!" haha
And yes, getting sick is one of Italians' constant thought, as you may have noticed 😂
Thanks Rafael! :D
Hey Elisa,
Haha for me as soon as it's slightly warm in spring that's close enough to summer for me haha
yes I did notice this concern.. the funny thing is that this part of the Italian mentality was very much alive and well in my home growing up... I didn't realise it untilI moving to Italy... I kind of always thought maybe my family went a little overboard, but now I see how normal it is here... and many people go even further than they did... but the older I get the more appreciation I have for the concern... I hate colds and flus haha
I can very clearly remember my grandfather's concern about having wet hair and always making sure to keep his throat protected even if it was only slightly cool out, even beginning in early fall... and of course the concerns of getting sick because of malocchio... oh goodnesss, that almost seemed to be the number one killer of people, even worse than cancer.... he was always throwing up gang signs against it haha, and he wasn't the must superstitious person... but oh goodness when it came to malocchio, you better run for the hills and run for your life
Hey I’m going to Italy this April towards the end of the month what would be appropriate clothing ?
I love how u speak....
😂
I live in the UK and the minute it reaches 20-24C brits are stripping off their clothes 😂
I’m in Italy now and today it was 28C and everyone is walking around in thick socks and tennis shoes.... (me too btw because you taught me well! I’m completely blending in! I hope... 😂)
And I’m like “guys, you’d be way less hot if you had flip flops on” 😂😂😂😂
LOVING ITALIA SO MUCH.
I’m completely in love. 😘
Hahaha I'm so glad you're enjoying Italy!
And also that my tips were helpful! :D
38° C is the time for sandals, not any earlier haha
Last year, in July as I was flying home to England to visit my family it was 41° c in ciampino! I get back to England and in one day it was 21°c my body was not ready for such temperature shock having adjusted slowly to the gradual rise to the Italian heat. That being said it's a dry heat in Italy not humid and sticky.
With the exception of winter, standard dress code in Australia= shorts and flip flops!😅
I've been also told that some Australians like to walk around barefoot! Is that true?
Yes that's true.It,s the norm here in Summer.Un Italian I know! I would call it Aussie-Italian!
Però ora fa freddo di nuovo 😭 comunque concordo! Vivendo a Roma spesso mi capita di vedere turisti in canotta e sandali già a aprile, mentre io sto ancora col cappotto e anfibi 🤣
I kind of buy it, but I've seen way to many people wearing big puffy coats and scarves on 20 degree days in the north just because it is December.
Me in my country where it's always hot weather ;-;
12 degrees is my summer😂
Ciao from Australia
Italy is a crazy country. In one day, it can rain four times, have two thunderstorm, sunshine, wind and hail yet still be 36°c in a 24 hour day!!
What kind of rain coats do you prefer?
Mid-lenght, very thin. Usually unicolour :)
Mille o tante grazie!
Elisa super vero questo video, brava 😍 Ma vivendo in Canada, ho capito perché i turisti a Roma con 15 gradi si vestono con vestiti estivi, vivo in Canada da quasi un anno e mi sento che potrei fare lo stesso. Quando vivi per 6 mesi con - 20 o -10 quando ci sono 15 gradi è primavera / estate XD è una FESTA!!! XD Se ti va passa nel mio canale 😊
Haha in effetti ha senso!
What about April?
Does it rain all the time?
not all but april is generally hot/cold you should dress as an onion t-shirt a ziphoodie and a jacket 🧥 so you are covered for all
Is there a big Hispanic community in DC?
😎🤔😯
Well... who cares about not looking like a tourist right? I’ve done so much research on Italian fashion to try and blend in when I go there April next year... but I live in quite a cold place and 20 degrees is like short weather for me. Sorry but I will faint in the middle of the Roman streets if I can’t wear my shorts in that kind of weather!
How do you survive July/August?
I personally don't.
July and August feel like hell in Rome!
That's why most romans try to escape the heat by going to the beach as often as they can
air conditioning :D
Do you want to say to "wear layers"?
How would you dress in September?
Hey!
The first half of September still falls into "summer clothing items", so shorts and sandals are ok!
Then you start to slowly transition to regular jeans and light sneakers, maybe a hoodie at night...
But it also really depends on the temperatures! :)
I'll try to make vlogs in September or related videos so you can have a better idea
It's silly. If it's hot, bring out the shorts baby.

Cacchio sorella, abbiamo gli stessi difetti di pronuncia.
If you think 26 C is hot, you would never tolerate Summer weather in the US.
Crona virus Italy
