As a recommendation, dress in layers. As temperatures vary throughout the day, wearing layers you can add or remove as needed is a good idea. A light jacket or sweater is a good option for cooler mornings or evenings.

Moreover, bring a hat and sunglasses. Although October is not as hot as the summer, it’s still important to protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat and sunglasses.

Remember to wear comfortable shoes. Choose comfortable shoes for walking around in, as Rome is a city that’s best explored on foot. Sneakers or comfortable closed-toe shoes are good options.

Importantly, bring an umbrella or raincoat. While October is generally a dry month, occasional rain showers can occur. Be sure to bring an umbrella or raincoat to stay dry.

In addition, consider dressing modestly. If you plan on visiting churches or other religious sites, it’s important to dress modestly by covering your shoulders and legs.

Overall, it’s best to dress in comfortable layers to help you stay comfortable throughout the day. Also, remember to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler temperatures in the mornings and evenings.
