Clothing
is pretty much a personal decision, but it's a fair bet
that you'll bring more than you really need. Remember,
there are washing machines where we're going ... and Woolite
works wonders on socks and underwear. The list below was
compiled from the Travelsmith website,
with a few additions from other cognoscenti.
Hats -
A hat is a good idea for sun protection when it's warm
and for warmth when it's cold.
Rainwear -
Good rainwear is always recommended for Northern Europe,
where it can rain at anytime of the year. (Stowable ponchos
are a good choice).
Sweaters -
One or two sweaters are essential for warmer layering.
Short-Sleeve
Shirts - Two to three short-sleeve shirts.
Pants -
Two to three pairs of walking pants should be all that
you need.
Shorts -
Two or three pairs of shorts when pants no longer fit the
occasion.
Skirts
and Dresses - With excellent circulation, skirts
and dresses are very cooling for outdoor adventures.
Especially recommended for cultural areas, where pants
and shorts are not appropriate.
Underlayers -
Two to six sets depending on how often you plan on washing.
Suit -
You'll need one suit for presentations.
Ties -
Two ties constitute a varied wardrobe for guys.
Long-sleeve
Shirts - Two or three in different colors (can be
worn with suits, or for layering).
Shoes -
Should be comfortable ... we'll be doing a LOT of walking.
