Qué debes empacar
Plan to walk a lot, so bring good shoes, layers, an umbrella
Lexington fashion runs a wide gamut. In the middle, Lexington locals are neither fancy nor grunge. Only on very special occasions in very special settings are dress clothes required. Save that space and pack extra layers for the variable weather. Include a light rain jacket, and some kind of light wrap you can add in chilly spaces.
