Two seasons, one suitcase. Here is how Italian women pack for fall.
Warm days, cool nights
October highs run from the mid-60s in Milan to the mid-70s in Palermo. November is ten degrees cooler and wetter.
Fall clothes, even when it's warm
By mid-October the linen and sandals are put away, whatever the thermometer says.
Add, remove, repeat
A light jacket, a fine knit and a scarf cover a 20-degree swing between breakfast and afternoon.
Shoulders and knees
St. Peter's and many churches require both covered. Trousers or a midi skirt are the safe choice.
From Maria's edit
Warm neutrals, one real jacket, shoes you can walk in all day.
