Destination: Lisbon

Bold, Whimsy, Cool.

The Vibe

The Lisbon Look is decidedly playful, with bold prints and creative color and texture combinations dominating the streets. A stark contrast to its French or Scandi European neighbors, who tend to focus on sleek silhouettes and a neutral palette, the Lisbon aesthetic leans funky – say, a red and white striped trouser paired with a green and blue plaid button-down, topped with a hefty motorcycle jacket. A trip to Lisbon is an opportunity to take chances, experiment with patterns, and reflect the city’s vibrant charm in your wardrobe.

What To Pack

Lisbon features a mild Mediterranean climate with short but rainy winters and warm, dry summers. Dressing in layers will allow you to comfortably transition from cooler mornings to sun-soaked afternoons without ducking in for an outfit change. For tops, we suggest patterned blazers, a bulky motorcycle jacket, funky tees, and colorful button-downs with interesting embellishments. A good pair of jeans – wide leg or straight, will ground your outfit. Bring it all together with a bold sneaker, a mary jane paired with colorful socks, or a chunky boot.
