Leggings ok in Switzerland for everyday use?
A traveler, Grammy, is planning a trip to Luzern, Interlaken, and Montreux and is wondering if wearing leggings or capri pants with basic tops is appropriate for everyday activities. She also asks about the validity of the Swiss Travel Pass when crossing into a new month during her travels.
- Leggings and capri pants with simple tops are acceptable in Switzerland for casual outings, but might not be suitable for high-class restaurants.
- The Swiss Travel Pass starts from the chosen day and is valid for the selected number of days regardless of the month change.
- Dress warmly for mountain excursions, as temperatures drop significantly at higher altitudes.
AI-generated summary-
In my town it is common to wear leggings or capri type “yoga” pants with basic tops anywhere during the day (shopping, running errands, lunch). Since they pack so easily and don’t wrinkle would they be appropriate (neutral or black) for Luzern, Interlake,Montreux? Also does it matter if the stp 15 day is used at the end of one month and then beginning the next. Ex. from Aug 24 – Sept. 3. Many thanks

Hi Grammy and Welcome to MySwissAlps,
Sorry can’t help with the dress code question but the STP continuous runs from the day you nominate it to start for the number of days you select (15 in your case). Crossing month boundaries doesn’t matter.
Thanks. I was concerned it only worked for one month and thenexpired even with unused days.
Hello Grammy,
Nice to hear you’re coming to Switzerland.
Regarding the dress-code, simple leggings with a nice top is also a common way of dressing here in Switzerland and you won’t be regarded as “strange” in the slightest if you’re dressed like that. This might of course not be the case for some high-class restaurants, they might have a dress-code, which won’t allow you in, but in everyday life you’ll be fine, comfortable and unobtrusive.

Best,

Thanks so much. This makes packing easier.
Just remember that no matter how hot it is in Interlaken etc at the top of the mountains it is cold. Don’t go up there in leggings and a thin jumper and waste your money shivering for the day like so many do.
Right. Thanks. I HATE to be cold so I will definitely take care.
