Suppose you plan on visiting Switzerland in winter. In that case, you should pack a waterproof jacket, waterproof coat, cozy cap, warm leggings for women and warm pants for men, fleece jackets, turtle neck sweaters, warm and waterproof socks, waterproof boots, muffler, and lastly, good quality gloves. The goal is to survive Switzerland's winter, so the warmer your clothes are, the better you'll feel.

For summers, you can carry cotton clothes as the weather is quite pleasant. T-shirts, shirts, hats, and jeans are common for men and women. For women, you may also carry maxi dresses and skirts. Add a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Also, pack a light jacket if the weather decides to be breezy and cold.
