What to Wear in Seattle
Seattle Clothing StyleWhen you’re planning what to wear in Seattle, keep in mind that this is a casual city. Looking around, you’ll notice that outdoor brands like The North Face are popular with practical and nature-lovin’ Seattle folk. However, the Pacific Northwest is home to a ton of creative people who enjoy putting their own spin on the term “dressy.” With a ton of independent boutiques, there is special mix of texture, grit and vintage class.
The weather also contributes to defining Seattle style. We love to layer, which gives us ample opportunity to play with patterns and colors. Many Seattleites intentionally incorporate bright colors into their ensembles to contrast the gray skies.
Don’t be that person who puts on shorts at the first sign of sun in March. It’s a trap; summer won’t be here for several months…

Seattle Shopping
If the clothing you chose when you planned what to pack for Seattle doesn’t quite work out, you can easily update your wardrobe in these stores:
You really can’t go wrong with H&M and Forever 21, both located downtown. Also go check out the Nordstrom Rack on Fifth and Pine, and it won’t hurt to hit up the flagship Nordstrom across the street. It’s a Seattle institution!
If you find yourself in Belltown, perhaps while walking to the Space Needle, the Endless Knot on First and Bell is not too expensive and is worth checking out. Other noteworthy stores include Show Pony in the Fremont Neighborhood, as well as Horseshoe and Velouria in Ballard, even if it means renting a car to get there.
