Waterproof Pants
The same reason as above, it rains a lot in Iceland. So make sure that you bring waterproof pants to keep you warm and dry.

Comfortable Pants / Hiking Pants
Good and comfortable pants are great to wear under your waterproof pants. Most of the time you will only be wearing these pants because it is not always raining in Iceland. Choose pants that you feel comfortable in, are able to hike / walk in and that you can also use when going to restaurants or strolling around the city.

Hiking boots are a must when traveling to Iceland. If you don’t have them, you have to buy them for your trip. Even though you are not going on any long hikes, you will be walking to and from some of the most magnificent sights you will ever see and you don’t want to do that feeling uncomfortable.

Warm Beanie

A warm scarf will be a perfect add on to the suitcase to keep you well and warm. You can also carry a buff instead of the scarf.
Men
Windproof Outer Shell
The weather is a significant factor in deciding what to wear in Icelandic winters. The weather in Iceland is unpredictable although winter can be quite rough. Therefore, it is important to pack aptly. As stated earlier, Iceland’s winter can last from November through March. Usually the temperature sticks around the zero-degree mark 0°C (31°F) between December and March, the chilly wind can make it even colder. Winter in Iceland also sees an abundance of snowstorms and freezing rain that is important to consider while packing for your trip.
