nothing to show off her body.. boyz might try and check the weather if its winter make sure she gets a warm jacket and socks.

jeans

Layered clothes so she can accomodate cool or warm weather. When entereing churches she must be in modest clothing (no bared shoulders or miniskirts). Comfortable shoes are a MUST. Have her hold back on packing a ton of clothes- pack only a few main items (slacks, dress, skirt) and a variety of nice t-shirts/tops. Throw in a sweater or hoodie, and a light to moderate weight jacket. It could still be quite cool in April so it wouldn't hurt to bring a hat and gloves/scarf. Something bright and fun and fashionable. My daughter wore a bright green jacket all through Rome... whenever she wears it now she always thinks of that trip. If you want more specific ideas feel free to contact me.

Italians are far more into fashion than Americanss. They tend to wear a dark color withsplashess of color. They tend to generally be more conservative in their dress also. Especially in the early evening when walking around town one should try to show off their fashion style. Jeans are now quite acceptable, but not worn or with holes as many teens wear in the U.S. April can range from quite warm to quite cool so the layering suggestion is a good one. It also depends where she will be visiting as there are drastic climate differences in Italy just like in the US with the Alps on the north and theMediterraneann to the south.

I was there in April of '08. Rome was nice and warm 70-80. Florence rained. A light coat and comfortable shoes for doing a lot of walking are mandatory.

clothes that wont make her feel hot

april in napoli can be fairly hot especially pompeii. comfortable shoes, don't wear flip flops or high heals, are a must for pompeii as the site is massive and the roads are very uneven.. visited pompeii this april, it's only and hour and a half away from where i live, and it was very hot don't forget suncream

Hi, I went to Rome in April and Venice in July this year. I went to Rome towards the end of April for a long weekend and it was warm. I wore three quarter length jeans, vest tops, I also wore a denim skirt and loose fiited long trousers. Generally the majority of people wore jeans or long trousers as it is a city break people are sight seeing, walking and exploring. I did get slightly burned on my shoulders though so if she is exposing skin and it is warm don't be deceived and why sun cream. I wore a long top and long trousers when I visited the Vatican Museum. It is largely dependent on the weather at that time so maybe closer to check the weather report over the internet, Hope this helps!

I am italian and live in Florence.. April is mild but I would bring some long sleeves T-shirts as well and also a jacket as nites are still cold.. bring a raincoat since it rains a lot during that month.. around 1 or 2 pm it can get very hot so tell her to bring some short sleeves t-shirt as well... it is the same all over italy more or less...

In april in italy it's not that cold, but it varies very much! so she should bring different kind of clothes... mainly t shirts and sweaters, then jeans are very usefull! oh I also suggest a warmer coat for the evening... if it rains it can be a little cold! hope she's lucky and she finds good weather... if it's sunny she would be able to wear not heavy clothes... how do you say not heavy clothes??? sorry I'm italian!!
