Written By: Maggie Fogg


 

Once you get past the initial gray and gritty feel of the city, you’ll notice Belgrade has dozens of quaint and stylish neighborhoods, trendy, little known restaurants, and unparalleled nightlife.

There are so many things to do in Belgrade, but regardless of which time of the year you visit, locals and visitors are trendy and style-conscious. If you want to fit in, pack lots of black and dark colors, sleek silhouettes, and your chicest accessories.

Belgrade can get quite chilly in the fall. Essentials include: a leather jacket, cozy blanket scarf, comfortable walking flats, jeans, tights, and a few stylish yet warm dresses.

For fall, try a stylish black leather jacket, which will keep you warm while being versatile enough to pair with all your outfits.

 

Start by reading these general tips on packing for autumn travel:

 

Old Belgrade is a beautiful part of the city to explore. The streets are filled with pre-war architecture mixed with communist-style buildings.

With all of this wandering, it’s important to bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes and a good pair of jeans.

In October and November, weather tends to be rainy. An umbrella is a must. Look for a compact style umbrella that can fit in any bag from a backpack to a mini handbag.

During the daytime, you’ll need a few nice sweaters and long-sleeved tops to pair with jeans and your leather jacket.

For evenings out and more fancy occasions, bring slim-fitting dark or black jeans and a pretty top.

Another great alternative for a nice dinner or a nicer daytime look is a sweater dress worn with tights; pair these with ankle boots for a look that transitions perfectly from day to night.

Ankle boots with a sturdy, comfortable heel are a good compromise to fit in with Belgrade’s stylish locals, while being able to handle the cobbled streets with grace. Try this pair by Steve Madden.

One of the best approaches to stylish winter travel is layering. Try mixing a pretty blouse, chic sweater, and trendy blazer under your winter jacket–it’s stylish and will keep you warm and cozy all day.

By layering different pieces, you get more variety out of your minimal travel wardrobe. On that note, leggings that can be layered under jeans are a great addition for very cold temps, or days where you will be outside for many hours.

Finally, don’t forget a warm scarf, a cute beanie, and mittens or gloves to keep hands warm–it can be extremely windy in Belgrade.
