Lake Como Packing List: Clothes + Shoes
Lake Como is definitely a “dressier” destination. The vibe is very classy and chic. Here’s what I recommend, but of course, pack what you want!
Dresses – Pretty, flowy sundresses are always a good call. They can work for both day and night!
Two-piece set – Jumpsuits and two-piece sets are also a chic option for an Italian summer outfit!
Tops + Bottoms – if dresses aren’t your thing or if you just want to switch it up, a stylish top and bottoms work too. Personally, I would do a simple t-shirt paired with either chino or jean shorts or even a preppy tennis skirt.
Sunhat – a must for summer when adventuring in Lake Como!
Purse – a classic leather crossbody bag is always in style and a great choice for travelers! Plus it can be easily dressed down or up for day to night.
Swimsuit – pack your cutest swimsuit for a yacht day on Lake Como!
Swimsuit Cover-up – a white linen cover-up is always a classy option. Whatever you chose, make sure it’s chic!
Sneakers – plain white sneakers are all the rage in Europe, that’s literally all anyone wears, so I would definitely bring along a pair!
Sandals – Sandals look great with dresses and are a must for beach days or hanging on a boat.
Heels – a heeled sandal is great for dressier days and at night
Sunglasses – sunnies can make a fabulous fashion statement, get some trendy ones to complete your look!
