In spring, layers are key to enjoying mild days and cool evenings, so pack t-shirts, light knitwear, and a jacket. In summer, breathable clothing is ideal, with shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses perfect for warm days. A light jacket is handy for the evenings. As temperatures cool in Autumn, layers are essential. Bring a jacket and comfortable shoes to explore the outdoors. In winter, a warm coat, scarf, and gloves are necessary for the winter months, particularly if you plan on visiting the South Island or ski resorts.
