What to Wear in Bosnia and Herzegovina This Fall

Got a fall trip planned to Bosnia and Herzegovina? Bosnia and Herzegovina can be fun to visit in the fall, but you'll want to make sure you're dressed right. The weather is mild and dry, with temperatures averaging around 64°F (that's 18°C). So what should you wear so you can stay comfy and fit in with the local vibe?

To make the most of your trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina, a good rule of thumb is to pack comfortable clothing that you can layer. Loose-fitting clothing in breathable fabrics will keep you cool in warmer weather, while a light jacket or cardigan will come in handy for cooler days or evenings. And if you plan on doing any sightseeing, be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Nothing like a nasty blister to ruin a good vacation, right?

In just a second, I'll share my specific recommendations for exactly what to wear in Bosnia and Herzegovina in fall—whether you're visiting the Old Bridge in Mostar, exploring the Blagaj Tekke, taking a cable car up to Mount Trebević, or visiting the Kravice Waterfalls.

🔗 What should women wear in Bosnia and Herzegovina in fall?

Bosnia and Herzegovina in fall is generally mild, and there are a few key items you'll want to pack. Here's what I definitely wouldn't go without: denim jacket, pashmina, cardigans, lightweight comfortable shoes, and stylish hat. With these essentials, you’ll be all set to experience everything Bosnia and Herzegovina has to offer.

🔗 Denim jacket

A denim jacket is great to have in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are stylish and can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for any occasion. Denim jackets are also very versatile. They can be worn over a dress for a night out or with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual day exploring. Best of all, denim jackets are lightweight and easy to pack, making them ideal for travel. When choosing a denim jacket for Bosnia and Herzegovina, look for one that is comfortable and flattering. A classic denim jacket will never go out of style and can be worn year after year. For a more unique look, try a distressed denim jacket or one with embellishments such as embroidery or beads.

Here's a few ideas to get you started:

🔗 Pashmina

A pashmina is a must-have accessory for a trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina. They can be used as a scarf, sarong, blanket, or even a headscarf. They are light and easy to pack, yet they provide warmth and color to any outfit. Pashminas come in a variety of colors and patterns, so it's easy to find one that compliments your personal style. When choosing a pashmina, look for one that is made from natural fibers such as wool or cashmere. These fibers are not only more durable, but they will also breathe better and keep you covered without making you sweat.

Here are some of my favorites:

🔗 Cardigans

A cardigan is the perfect piece of clothing to pack for a trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina in fall. They are lightweight, versatile, and easy to care for. Cardigans can be dressed up or down, and they work well in both warm and cool weather. When choosing a cardigan for travel, natural fibers such as cotton or wool are great (though synthetic equivalents can work well too). You mostly just want to look for fabric that breathes well so it will keep you comfortable in all types of weather.

🔗 Lightweight comfortable shoes

Traveling can be tough on your feet. You're constantly on the move, walking through airports and down crowded streets. And even if you're just sitting on a plane or in a car, your feet can start to swell after hours of being confined in one position. That's why it's important to pack comfortable, lightweight shoes that won't add too much weight to your luggage. But how do you know which shoes are right for Bosnia and Herzegovina? Look for ones made from breathable materials like mesh or canvas. They should also have good arch support and a cushioned sole to help reduce fatigue.

Why not treat yourself before you go:

🔗 Stylish hat

A good hat can be the difference between a great Bosnia and Herzegovina trip and a terrible one. Not only do hats help you look your best in photos, but they also make you feel more confident and put-together as you explore, adding a touch of style to any outfit. To choose the right hat, consider both function and fashion. A wide-brimmed straw hat is perfect for protecting your face from the sun (this is a good idea in all weather!) while a trilby is ideal for nights out on the town. No matter what your plans are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, just know there's a hat for the occasion.

Any of these should work:

🔗 Button-down shirts or polos

Button-down shirts or polos are always a good idea to pack. They don't wrinkle easily and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. They're also perfect for layering when the weather gets cooler at night. Pick ones that are comfortable and breathable, and ideally lightweight too.

Sneakers and loafers come in countless colors and designs, so pick something that goes with the rest of your outfits.

This is the kind of thing I mean:

🔗 Sweaters

Sweaters are super versatile and can be dressed up or down, making them ideal for both day and evening wear in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They also take up less space than other types of warm clothing, so you can pack more sweaters into your suitcase without sacrificing style. When choosing sweaters for travel, look for ones that are made of wrinkle-resistant fabric, such as Merino wool or cashmere. These materials will help to keep you warm without adding bulk.
