What to wear in Tasmania?

During winter the temperate drops significantly sometimes to near freezing point and warmer clothing is required. Jeans/slacks, a warm sweater and coat are highly recommended, along with an umbrella in case of showers.

Tasmania experiences warm summers and lightweight casual clothing such as shorts and t-shirts are usually worn during these months.

Smart casual wear is appropriate for restaurant dining and attending night time events.

Swimwear is a must during the summer as Tasmania has many secluded bays and beaches that are safe for swimming.

Remember to wear comfortable shoes/boots when trekking or walking through parks, bush and gardens. Consider wearing a hat, long-sleeved clothing, and remember the insect repellent.

Particular care needs to be taken also if heading to the ski fields, layered and water-resistant clothing, gloves, hat, wool/moisture-absorbent socks, an extra set of clothes, sunscreen and lip protection is essential, along with goggles/sunglasses.
