Clothing Suggestions

Functional Tips
As you will experience a range of temperatures and weather conditions, our list suggests
several layers of clothing. You’ll want good-quality rain gear and a warm jacket for evenings.
In fall and winter, you’ll need a warm coat, hat, gloves, and a scarf. If you like to hand-wash
your clothes, bring socks and underwear, and even shirts and pants, made of silk, synthetics,
or a blend that will dry out overnight. You can buy clothing designed especially for travel.

Style Hints & Dress Codes

• Dress on our trip is functional and casual. Generally, Portugal, Spain, and France are
informal countries. Even in the fanciest hotels and restaurants men don’t need a jacket
and tie—though you won’t feel out of place wearing them.

• Shorts are fine for touring except in religious sites, where men and women are
sometimes expected to have legs and arms covered.
