Clothing Ideas for Turkey February Trip

Females: Dressing properly for various situations is essential for girls and ladies who want to take striking pictures. A long wool coat will make you look elegant whether you’re visiting historical sites or having a city sightseeing in February. Once you pair the top with fleece jeans and ankle boots, your chic and cozy ensemble is complete. Casual clothing are more suitable when visiting Cappadocia region or attractions of that kind. Wearing a long down jacket or a fleece bomber jacket will help you adapt to hot air balloon ride in the chilly morning. You can just throw on a vibrant knit dress at midday if you decide to enjoy Antalya’s warm Mediterranean sun. But a thick coat is still needed in the morning and at night.
