Dress Code for Siena: What to Wear
Casual works, but a few items make a big difference.
# Dress Code for Siena: What to Wear
Siena is medium-formal by American standards, very casual by Italian standards. Pack accordingly.
What visitors ask
Day clothes?
Smart-casual. Avoid athletic wear, gym shorts, flip-flops.
Dinner?
No jackets required, but no shorts at upscale places (Le Logge, Taverna).
Churches?
Shoulders and knees covered. The Duomo enforces this.
Shoes?
Walking shoes with grip. Cobblestones are unforgiving.
Rain?
Bring a small umbrella and a light layer year-round.
Local tip
A linen shirt + dark jeans + leather sneakers works for any Siena dinner except a serious tasting menu.
