What to pack for your trip to Lisbon, Portugal

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.
