Pack a pair of comfortable shoes if you choose to tour the city. Brogues, trainers, and ankle boots are perfect for the spring.

You can also park a pair of wellies in case it rains and some sandals for sunny days. Birmingham experiences more precipitation than London, and you can experience hot sunny days or wintery weather. The weather changes during March, April, and May, and you should be ready for any eventualities. You should select statement clothes that you can match to look stunning in warm and hot weather.

You can have a great time in Birmingham when the temperatures soar in the summer. Pack your skirts, summer dresses, strappy crop tops, and sandals for the perfect summer experience. Add a thin jacket, t-shirt, and light pair of jeans to use when the weather gets cooler. You can stay comfortable during the day by wearing pumps, trainers, or a pair of flat sandals.

You don't have to wear a thick coat during Birmingham summers; however, you should pack layered clothes in case it gets cooler in the evenings. Pack colored clothes with light fabrics but still prepare for rain by carrying a light jumper, a rain mac, and a small umbrella. Remember to have fun and experiment with accessories and bright colors.

Autumn

You should choose clothes you can layer and mix to create new looks. Pack a light coat, jeans, and your favorite jumper for the ultimate autumn experience. You can also pack a dress and pair it with tights, a cardigan, and knee-high boots for the perfect autumn look. Birmingham is colder than London, and you should prepare for this by packing scarves and gloves.

Remember that autumn temperatures in Birmingham can be colder or hotter than expected. Pack layered clothes that you can add whenever it gets colder and remove when the weather gets warmer. You should also pack an umbrella and a hooded coat if it rains.

Winter

Birmingham winters are chillier than London, and it pays to be prepared. You should pack jeans made with heavy fabrics, a cardigan, boots, and thick, long-sleeved jumpers to keep warm in the winter. Add some thermal layers to help you look great and stay warm. Finding the right balance can be challenging; however, it's better to be prepared than not.

Pack a thick winter coat and a pair of sturdy shoes if you plan sightseeing. However, you should ensure you can remove the coat indoors since it will be warmer. Pack layered clothes to keep warm whenever you don't have your thick winter coat on. Otherwise, you risk getting too cold whenever you are in a large indoor space.
