Bostonians dress smartly and simply. The weather can be unpredictable. Wear layers that can be removed or added. An umbrella is a good idea for May showers.
Day: If you're touring, wear comfy shoes for walking. Depending how early in the season you visit, you may want a heavier jacket.
Evening: Consider your agenda; the theater tends to be dressier and some upscale restaurants require jackets. It can get chilly in the evening.
