Central-Southern Germany in June

I am starting to think about packing for a 10-day trip to Germany in early-to-mid June - 3 days of conference attendance (business casual) plus a couple of talks at universities, and the rest will be sightseeing. I plan to move around a lot taking trains from city to city so need to pack lightly. Would jeans be too hot for this time of year? It looks like the average temps are slightly above 70F (20 C) high, around 50F (10C) low.

I am thinking of skinny jeans/khakis with "Caspian" sneakers for sightseeing, black cigarette pants and a VC midi skirt with black pointy flats for the conference. I also got the Debora-recommended JJill black dress http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....avel-dress that I will bring in case I want to change into something slightly more dressy in the evening.

Does that sound about right? Still trying to figure out the outerwear but at least I have the lightweight silver raincoat I used for a trip to Italy so got the really bad weather covered.

Thanks in advance!

Makrame, hoping the Euro Fabbers chime in when they wake up. I am headed to Paris and London in June, with comparable temps. I'll be following this post with great interest. At the moment, I'm expecting to take a couple pair of jeans, some nice capris, a pair of slacks and a couple dresses. Short sleeve tops for day. Long sleeve blouses and a couple sweaters for evening. Blazer, light weight rain coat, and lots of shoes as well. Hope you'll post your travel capsule as it gets closer.

It's been a long time since I lived in Germany, but I visit once or twice per year and I always take way too many clothes because I never know what the weather will be like.
It could be rainy and cool enough to need a cardigan and/ or light jacket even during the day, or it could be sunny and pushing 30 C.
Jeans should be good and, as Liz said, layers are a great idea for tops.
As you get closer, you could look at the 10-day weather forecast on Wunderground and see what it says. That's what I'm going to do this time before I leave for northern Germany in two weeks.
