I'm 13 and I'm going on a school trip to Italy in July and i don't know what to wear. I heard that its inappropriate to wear shorts that are shorter than your middle finger when your arms are at your sides. I was hoping this isn't true because all my shorts are short and i have long arms. We are also going to be walking a lot and my teacher suggested we walk fast so i'll need to wear comfortable clothes. are tank tops ok? should i use a backpack or a purse? What is the temperature going to be? How do i not look like a tacky tourist? any other tips? We are going to visit Rome, Florence, Venice, Genova, Milan, and i think that's it i unfortunately don't have money for designer clothes.

ahaha unless u go to Vatican City, Italian girls wear the sluttiest clothes in the world, so just don't care of all those sh*its about the middle finger bla bla....an advice i can give is that if u don't wanna look like a tourist, take with u ur best and stylish clothes ( i guess u're from US...well in Italy stuff like Aeropostale,American Eagle,old navy,crocks are considered shit....i'd go with Converse stuff, Nike, D&G[if u have it]....and we don't dress sweats....at least the sportive ones...and an other tip is that don't do the typical cheesy pictures to the monuments as all tourists do, just do it to yourselves and ur friends and maybe the monuments too.... have fun!

Cover always knees and elbows if you wish to visit churches.

Do not wear american eagle or holliester or ascribe. If you have any of those clothing brands... you will for sure be known as a tourist. that is all i can say apart from the fact that they have the whole retro look going on there! good luck :)

wear whatever you want.. doesnt really matter

The temperature is like 25-32°. I live in Rome, it's really hot. But I'd don't wear shorts or top because you can't enter in churches with that, and SURELY you will visit a church...
