[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are heading to Italy and facing the same thing.  Pick out one or two cute midi or maxi sundresses and have her wear those on the days you visit houses of worship. That will cover her knees, and then the shawl can cover shoulders. [/quote]

Can teen boys show their knees?[/quote]

It might vary by country, but in Italy, shorts weren’t allowed in a church we visited.[/quote]

I suspect that it varies by church, more so than by whole country.

We were in Italy recently and visited a church in Florence one day when my teen son was wearing shorts.  There were signs saying that shoulders and knees should be covered, so we were prepared to be turned away.  But the people who sold us tickets and took those tickets at the entrance let us in without paying any attention to what our son was wearing.  There were other men and boys in the church wearing shorts, so it didn’t seem to be an issue.

But it would be best to be prepared by bringing a pair of pants for your son on the trip if there are any particular churches that you would hate to miss.  Although I do think that most places that strictly enforce their dress codes will have the paper cover ups available.  [/quote]
