Most people visit Naples in the same trip as visiting Rome since they’re only a short train ride away from each other. Both cities are equally great to visit, but each requires a very different wardrobe. Unlike Rome, Naples has a much more laid-back dress code to match their graffiti-filled streets, underground nightclubs and cool-city vibes. The fashion in Naples is more “hip” than it is “chic”.

What to Wear in Naples

Keep your money safe with a cross body bag

 

Although I’ve always felt perfectly safe in Naples the city does have a higher rate of non-violent crimes when compared to other Italian cities. Avoid being a target for tourist theft by carrying a cross body bag that keeps your valuables safe in front of you. One of my favorites for travel is the Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC, which comes in a huge range of colors.

If you are worried about theft, you could also add items like a money belt or Secret Bra Pocket to your packing list.

Pack less with a multi-wear black dress

 

As with Rome, black is universally accepted as the go-to colors for clothes. A multi-wear dress in black is the perfect item for Naples. My favorite is the Encircled Chrysalis Cardi which can be worn as a tunic over jeans during the day, as a dress at night, then re-worn for a third time as a beach coverup.

A must have when I plan what to wear in Naples! The lightweight material also makes this an easy to wash item so you can get a lot of wear out of it during a long period of travel with minimal luggage.

 

Tip: packing multi-purpose items like this dress is the best way to overcome drastically different dress codes when visiting multiple cities in one trip!

Make a statement with fab accessories

 

To add a trendy touch to an otherwise basic travel wardrobe add great pieces of jewelry like a statement necklace or stacked bracelets. This is the best way to re-use outfits while still making them fashionable appropriate. Fedoras are also great for summer outfits in Naples. No accessories to pack? Don’t worry! Naples has tons of fantastic shopping so you’ll find some great pieces of costume jewelry at markets and small boutique shops at very reasonable prices.

Jeans are always a safe bet

 

Add a trendy pair of jeans can be worn day or night as you prepare what to wear in Naples. Add a pair of heels to dress them up for dinner or a night out. Boyfriend-style jeans are extremely popular here, but skinny jeans work just as well. Pair them with a cute jacket or sparkly top to finish off your look.

 

Use slim packing cubes to save space in your suitcase and travel carry-on only!

Protect your feet with proper shoes

 

Shopping in Naples will have you going through alleyways, up hills and along cobblestone steers, and quite frankly they aren’t usually the cleanest streets (all part of the charm – I promise!). For this reason I would avoid open toe sandals and stick to flats or runners during the day. Not only will you be more comfortables, but your feet won’t be black with dirt at the end of the day. Of course, if the streets can make your feet that dirty they can also scuff up your shoes. I’d avoid all-white shoes in order to keep them looking clean.
