Layering Up: Because Mother Nature in Denver is a Fickle Mistress
Denver's weather? It's like a moody teenager. One minute it's sunny and warm, the next it's throwing a temper tantrum with rain and wind. That's why layers are your BFF. Think t-shirts, light sweaters, a trusty denim jacket, and maybe even a rain jacket (because, Denver). This way, you can adjust to whatever Mother Nature decides to throw your way, from sunshine to a surprise mountain snowstorm (yes, it happens!).
Pro Tip: Don't be fooled by the heat of the day. Denver sits a cool mile high, so mornings and evenings can get surprisingly chilly. Pack a scarf or beanie for those times when the sun dips below the mountains.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Ditch the Stilettos: Comfort is King (and Queen) in Denver
So you pictured yourself strolling down Larimer Square in your cutest heels? Hold on there, Cinderella. Denver is a city that thrives on outdoor adventures. Think hikes, bike rides, brewery hopping (which often involves walking from one patio to another). Leave the stilettos at home and pack some comfortable walking shoes or sneakers. Your feet will thank you, and you might even avoid a hilarious (for everyone else) faceplant on the sidewalk.
Bonus points awarded for: Cute hiking boots that can double as daytime wear. Just don't forget to add some fun socks for a pop of personality!
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Embrace the Casual Cool: Denver Does Denim, Not Diamonds
Denver's a city with a laid-back vibe. You won't see people decked out in ballgowns at the grocery store (although, that would be pretty entertaining). Think jeans, comfy shorts, t-shirts, sundresses. Accessorize with a hat, sunglasses, and a backpack to carry all your essentials.
Looking for a night out? Denver's nightlife is pretty casual too. A nice pair of jeans and a top, or a dress with some sandals will do the trick. Unless you're hitting a fancy rooftop bar (which are awesome, by the way), leave the sequined jumpsuit at home.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
