1. Light Clothes

Comfortable, breathable clothes are best. Sundresses, shorts, and cotton tops are best. Pack sunscreen, a water bottle, and a hat as well. 


2. Sweater

Early June can still have some cool nights, so a light sweater or windbreaker will come in handy.

A cardigan like this one by LaLaBEE is great for going from daytime to evening dinner.

It will also come in handy in case a museum you are visiting is extra cold!
