What to wear, see and do on a Roman holiday

For those lucky enough to visit Rome, there’s an endless list of sights to see, food to eat and culture to absorb. To help you plan your itinerary, we’ve popped together a little guide to making the most of your time in the city. 

MORNINGS:

After an espresso — or three, depending on your jetlag — spend your mornings exploring the historic city. Make sure the Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Colosseum and Altare Della Patria are on the top of your list. For mornings spent sight-seeing, a floral midi dress with sneakers and a cross-body bag is a chic street-ready option. We also love a crisp white blouse with denim for a fresh, easy-to-wear option.

AFTERNOONS:

The best way to slow down and settle into vacation-mode is to indulge in Italy's finest food and vino. Nothing beats basking in the sun and enjoying authentic, fresh produce at an outdoor dining space. Afterwards, stroll the cobblestoned streets and take in the awe-inspiring architecture. A breezy day dress or flowing midi skirt and camisole will carry you through sun-soaked afternoons with ease. 

NIGHTS:

Rome comes alive after dark. After a well-deserved rest, enjoy heading out for a romantic late-night dinner. Of course, all good meals should be followed with (another) glass of wine at one of Piazza Navona’s vino bars. Slip into something special, such as a cowl neck satin dress and clutch. For a more understated evening ensemble, a mini skirt and puff sleeve top is perfect for a balmy night out.
