What is the dress code for Vatican City?

Answer 1

I think it is still considered proper form for women to wear clothes that cover the shoulders, and they should have something to cover the head when going into a church. I am not sure, but men might have to cover their shoulders as well. Men don't wear anything on their heads in Catholic churches.

Answer 2

you can wear anything that suits the Catholic culture. just wear casual clothes that are not exposing so much skin, shirts that don't have explicit printings on it.

Clarification:

The dress code for visiting the Vatican is the same that applies when you visit any church in Italy. What to wear at the Vatican? The absolute minimum required for both male and females visiting the Vatican would be clothing covering both the knees and shoulders. Preferably you should wear long pants and long sleeve shirts. In other words, short shorts and tank tops are out.

Answer 3

There are few, if any, young girls living in the Vatican. Young visiting females to the Vatican must dress appropriately and modestly if they expect to gain admittance to some venues in the Vatican. There is no prescribed dress but such things as short shorts and tank tops or strapless blouses would exclude that individual from entering some areas.
