What To Pack For Boston By Season
What To Pack For Boston In Spring
Spring is a bit tricky for Boston. It feels like winter until it feels like summer and the weather can change on a dime. So that means layers (long sleeves, short sleeves, jacket, ect.) I would skip bringing really summer-like clothes because it doesn't get that warm.
What To Pack For Boston In Summer
Even in the summer, in the mornings and at night, it can get a bit chilly. So layers are also important, but you can skip the boots and jacket. I would bring a sweater, sweatshirt, and pants along with your shorts, tanks, and T shirts.
What To Pack For Boston in Fall
Fall is beautiful in Boston! For packing, it's similar to spring - lots of layers. I love wearing cozy sweaters in the fall in Boston - this one is my all time favorite.
What To Pack For Boston In Winter
Winter is Boston is kinda brutal, not going to lie. But, if you insist on visiting be sure to bring you heavy jacket, a winter hat, gloves, and a scarf.

Jeans
I feel like jeans are a must for any trip. These ones are so comfy for walking around while traveling!

Boston is the perfect city for a cozy sweater!! This one is warm and cute.
Long Sleeves
Layers are a must in Boston. It seriously goes from warm and sunny to freezing and bitter in a matter of seconds. Long sleeves are perfect for layering. I wear this one all the time.

The unpredictable weather in Boston calls for your very best rain boots. I love these Hunter Boots for spring and fall. If you are visiting in winter bring heavier ones - I love these.
