The bywords for clothing in Israel are casual and comfortable. Late autumn through early spring, plan to “dress like an onion.” Layers that can be peeled off (or added back on) as the day or evening progresses are always a good bet. At all times of the year, bring head coverings for protection against the sun (and the requisite sunglasses and sunblock - don’t say we didn’t warn you), comfortable walking shoes, and a bathing suit. PLEASE NOTE: it’s imperative to dress modestly if you plan to visit observant areas or religious sites. For women, this could mean a head covering. Jeans, pants, or capris are acceptable forms of trousers for women. If wearing a skirt, please make sure that it is mid-calf in length. Shirts should never be sleeveless. Short sleeves are okay, but never allowing the shoulders to show. For men, trousers and a short-sleeved shirt are customary.
