Jackets, sweatshirts, jeans, comfortable shoes. Wear what you would wear to New York at the beggining/end of winter. =)

What part of Italy will you be traveling to? No matter where you go, you'll be doing a lot of walking, so wear a pair of shoes that are already broken in. Keep in mind that you'll be in Italy, so footwear is also a fashion statement. I'm assuming since you said "school trip" that you're in high school, so that would also impact my advice about what to wear. This winter most of the Italian students were still wearing slim jeans, metallic silver shoes (I'd call them a tennis shoe, but I doubt that's the right name), and waist-length parka jackets trimmed with fur (fake or real is irrelevant). Scarves around the neck aren't just a fashion statement, they're also a great layer that you can easily discard when the sun come out. For girls, I noticed a lot more leggings and long tops this year (that means you'd need a top-of-the-thigh pea coat too. I go to Italy all of the time, so feel free to email if you'd like photos or more information.

You will want to wear jeans, any kind of shirt, a warm, but lightweight, jacket, and boots or sneakers. It depends where you are going, but you will want to bring a hat and scarf. Also, take a sturdy, portable and small umbrella because sometimes it can rain unexpectedly. Take a rainjacket too that is not heavy or bulky. Have a wonderful time on your trip :) -Ruby

It depends on what area of Italy go ... for example I live in Messina, Sicily, and March is not so cold, but if you go further north, such as in Lombardy and Trentino, Veneto, Valle d'Aosta or even Tuscany, etc.., they could make more cold However I suggest you dress in layers... brought a little of both, something light but also heavy
