What should I wear in Rome, Italy during February?

I am 16 years old and going to Italy next week. I will be there from mid-February till the end of the month. I've looked at the forecasts and its supposed to be cold, but I am unfamiliar with the teenage styles over there. I am from California and it isn't very cold right now so I don't know if I should buy anything. I have a few pairs of boots and maybe a heavy jacket (nothing really waterproof though). I normally wear jeans, sweatshirts, and tennis shoes, but I'm afraid that will be too casual because I've heard Italians tend to dress nicer than Americans.

Can anyone help me out?? Thorough answers are appreciated.

You should get more formal clothing because they do tend to dress up a lot for almost everything. If you are not sure, you can always buy clothing you need over there and just take something to last the night. Go out the day you get there or the day after and get to a store that sells what you need.
