00:00 How Not To Look Like A Tourist Introduction
Going on a vacation to a new place can be exciting, but actually dressing up for a tour can be tricky. Looking like a typical tourist may welcome hassles, which may make your trip less enjoyable.
It might be best to dress like a classy gentleman rather than a tourist for your own self-confidence and ease. And here’s how to do it:
01:49 1. Don’t Dress Like A “Typical Tourist”
To avoid being mistaken for a member of the tourist horde, you’ll want to avoid:
02:25 1A. Athletic & Athleisure Attire
02:55 1B. Locality-Branded Items
04:46 2. Don’t Accessorize Like A Tourist
Go-To Travel Garments & Shoe Suggestions:
07:21 Kyle’s favorite travel essentials:
1. Tailored Navy Blazer
2. Dark Wash Denim
3. Versatile Shoes
08:15 Raphael’s favorite travel essentials:
1. Boat shoes
2. Seeksucker shorts and trousers
3. Panama hat
4. Safari jacket
5. Dark trench coat
09:03 Suggestions for Seasonal Clothing
10:09 Observing Local Dress Codes
11:20 3. Avoid Cliches & Wearable Kitsch
13:01 4. Respect Local Culture And Traditions
Thus far, most of our tips revolve around things that we often talk about here at Gentleman’s Gazette. So, when planning your vacation outfits, all you need to do is account for itinerary, dress code, and the weather. Watch the relevant videos from our expansive video library would also be a big help.
In conclusion, during your trips around the world, it’s important to remember another gentlemanly trait: respect. Respect local culture and traditions. Visiting another country is like visiting another person’s home. They should be polite and respectful to your host.
Following simple guidelines like this will help you enrich your travel experience and help you respect the local country you’re visiting. This will also help you stand out from tourists as a respectful globetrotting gentleman.
14:23 Outfit Rundown - Навчання та стиль
I am missing Raphael calling everyone a "peasant" :D
Me too!
Same
Those were the good old days...
I said makes you look like a peasant. Subtle but important distinction 😜
@@gentlemansgazette I don't see the problem either way.
In Paris, I fit in so much I was even rude to some American tourists.
Lol XD
Extra points for chainsmoking and not picking up after your dog.
Please remember, in certain locations safety is a concern. In those places you want to blend in, not look like a tourist. Looking like a gentleman in those locations might be even more dangerous. I have spend a lot of time in sketchy places because of my work, and sometimes it is wise to downgrade your look.
Missä vaarallisissa maissa olet vieraillut?
Very true. I remember in Brazil years ago when I was a kid, seeing a lady at the bus stop that got her earrings ripped from her ears. Someone claimed the thieves came back the next day and beat the women because the earrings were not real... Now I do not know if the latter part is true.
@@gentlemansgazette I would love to see you fit in to local custom in Brazil by actually wearing flip flops in the street
@@ruudinkeksijat Joo, ei järin hyvä idea kävellä ulkomaalaisena bleiseri päällä syrjäseuduilla. Olitko töissä Valmetilla?
@@ruudinkeksijat En itse kyllä missään kolmannen maailman valtioissa haluaisi lomailla juuri turvallisuuden takia. Tai no riippuu toki vaarallisuuden asteesta. Omaisuuden menetys on pientä hengen rinnalla. Olen ollut Venäjällä Pietarissa, mutta se on vähän eri asia kuin syrjäseudut. Euroopassa en missään ole tuntenut oloani uhatuksi edes vähän köyhemmissä paikoissa. Olen toki ollut lähinnä turistialueilla ja itsekin köyhä opiskelija.
>most New Yorkers don't wear I love new York shirts
You'd be surprised!
Yes, but it does depend on where you are in the city or one of the other four boroughs.
Why would they haha
Most New Yorkers are wearing it ironically because they want to leave the state and never return, that's what makes it fun!
Should I wear an Adidas tracksuit when visiting Russia or would I be perceived as "trying too hard to fit in" ?
also applicable to the UK.
Haha, no if you got matching colors including an adidas superstar
Just remember when squatting in your tracksuit "Heels on the ground, comrade found. Heels in the sky, American spy"
Gopnik tradition
Don’t forget the big belly & the gold chain.
A proud travel moment for me - over three days in 2019, in Milan, Italy, I was asked for directions (in Italian) 3 times.
I've been there this year - I don't know is it was because I was alone or I was in shirt, but I was never interrupted by anyone who sell some stuff for tourist or wants to lure them into some restaurant.
Lol, that's how I feel when I'm at a department store or restaurant and get asked for help beore they realize I'm not customer service, lol. I'm courteous about it though. (:
I live 20 mins from Disney and my dad still dresses like a tourist.
Now I want a dabbing Mona Lisa sweatshirt
Having lived in Europe and the Middle East, I say this is good advice. Particularly avoid sneakers, except ones that are all black with no visible logos so people will mistake them for black shoes. Jeans with polo shirts are always a good bet, but again no logos, and no bright colors. In some places, the color of your shirt indicates your political stance-- go neutral, white, black. Oh, and buy local style sunglasses as it helps one blend in.
The sunglasses tip is such great advice! People, especially some relatively rich and sheltered tourists, tend to forget that their local styles and conventions are not universal. Sunglasses definitely are different in Qatar than in Paris
Colour of the shirt? What places are you speaking of?
@@valentingartner3793 Hmmmmm brown shirts hmmm
@@valentingartner3793 Just joking!
@@pablom.5698 good one; didn’t thought about that
Not dressing like a tourist can also avoid you being a target for thieves. Remember tourists usually have money and thieves know this.
Fanny packs are a big no-no but money belts (worn under your clothing) is a must, pick pocket safe and inconspicuous.
Or just have a wallet in your front pocket. Been to plenty of places and haven’t had any issues
Nothing attracts potential thieves faster than a suit. Anyone who can dress like a gentleman also signals that he has money. And so the “gentleman” in poor countries is a much more attractive victim than a visible package tourist
@@alexjones1017 you haven't been to a place with real pickpockets.
i wear a fanny pack every day. they are quite safe. the belt has a steel cable in it, the material has steel mesh, the buckle double locks and is metal. the zippers clip in.
Fanny packs are actually good in terms of avoiding pickpocketing, but you must wear them "slavic way", that means across the shoulder (that's why we call them "Kołczan" which in Polish means "quiver"). If you wear them that way and on top of that you wear hoodie or crewneck, no one can pick pocket you.
Thank you, Kyle. I'm American and planning my first trip to Paris in late September/early October. Very few videos for attire for us guys. This was exactly what I was looking for. Cheers! My biggest take-away was no graphic Tees or workout clothing (unless I'm working out).
No baseball hat
We came back from the US and my significant other sported a baseball hat and checkered shirt from trader joe's. They actually tried to mug him in central Paris (except, he was raised in the hood, and sure knew how to talk back)
@@cabinetdavocat9777 Talking back is no guarantee of safety, though. He's lucky.
I would love to see everyone's personal capsule wardrobes for specific locations. Some hot and cold weather, as well as their experiences with formal events in those climates
I remember during my undergrad that I took part in a music festival for opera and oratorios. Part of it involved touring some historic churches that we would be performing at and many of the women in our group were surprised to find that what was considered decent for a church in Perugia was very different from what was considered decent back at a church in Tampa. Long story short, silk, linen, and satin shawls became quite popular among the women in our group during that festival!
IMHO one of the most necessary video subjects that this channel has ever covered. Can't wait to get home and finish it.
Thank you for mentioning the Panama Hat is actually from Ecuador. Great video!
I dress like I'm on vacation everyday. I live in Florida. lol Floral print shirts, shorts and sperrys. Nantucket kind of vibe. Peasants!!
Must be a southern and western coast of Florida kind of thing. I don't see that in Northeast Fl, not even in Gainesville or St. Augustine except the shorts.
We are in America, dress like you don't give a care or better yet, just dress like it is laundry day. In Florida man territory, where I also live, we struggle just getting people to just wear shoes and shirts in stores... I am sure you are just fine dressing like a retiree tourist every day of your life.
@@andrewensign5830 Dude you're not kidding. I was at Walmart the other day and there was a man with no shirt no shoes, and shorty shorts but thank goodness he had a mask crazy 😅🤪....Nutcases everywhere!
When in Japan a couple of years back, it was strange to see so few people in activewear. Those who were wearing activewear were actually exercising, or other western tourists... I was glad I took a suit with me, which I wore on a few nights. Though the bar touts in Shinjuku probably thought I was a exec with a company credit card! Casual Friday's don't seem to be a thing in Tokyo either...
I find Kyle's voice exceptionally calming for some reason, good video!
Yes, if you don't care what he's saying.
I find him hard to understand as he tends to swallow syllables.
English is not my mother tongue and I had great difficulties in understanding what he said.
My tip for London:
Either a elegant suit combined with a fancy hat or shorts, t-shirt and- this is very important - never socks, even in the winter you have to follow this dress code.
And i guarantee you, nobody will recognize you as a tourist.
didnt see nobody dressed like that in London
So few English people live in London, wearing anything international won't really stand out unless there are some extremely local variations (e.g. Westminster or The City).
Shoes without socks in London? You certainly WILL stand out.
I truly appreciate your wonderful delivery. Much like the ever wise, soft spoken Professor, that so captivates his students with his knowledge and wisdom he imparts, that class is over in what seems like a blink. Keep up the great work!
I've spent a lot more time thinking about this topic than I should. My go to is neutral colored Columbia pro fishing gear. They pack light and tight, and if you wear a tie and vest they pass as dress shirts. They breath better than anything else and are vented. They look touristy but are versatile. The collar is too thin for ties, but it works ok with a thin tie. The key is pack light and travel in your best and heaviest clothes. That messenger bag needs an arm strap. Boat shoes are awesome but I switched to yardbirds without socks. Second the jeans for fitting in, especially in Latin America. However I stand like 10 inches over the crowd down there. So I don't bring heavy jeans to fit in, I can't anyway. If you don't blend in like me it's best to be confused for a businessman, no one will try selling you tours. Also it's fun being the best dressed even on vacation.
One needs less luggage if one wears a smart jacket with several pockets; and if one wears a suit (as I tend to) one receives noticeably better service with airlines and in restaurants
One also tends to get robbed while wearing a suit in certain areas. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@@modmaliCrtzGang 😁
Yes. As I like to say to my wife: my jacket does for me what your purse does for you.
Brilliant script and very useful tips. Thank you! I've been following the channel for about 5 years and I really enjoy the consistency across your content. No virtue signalling on sight nor exaggerated PC. Keep it up!
As a guide in Venice, let me thank you a lot! Usually American tourists are really poorly dressed, even if they sleep in a fancy and expensive hotel...!
Imagine beeing so pathetic that you care how about other people dresses spotted the incel
They want to look less rich, I suppose. Of course, they still stay in expensive hotels, and I imagine they go to all the expensive tourist spots! So they end up looking both rich and silly
It's actually embarrassing to me to see my fellow tourists dressed horribly. My wife and I look up current styles to wherever we're going, though I've found that nice clean heritage workwear is almost always respected.
I'm an American and I just went to one of the nicest hotels in America, just 2 hours before the dress code started and I was the only one dressed up. I seen at least 500 multimillion or billionaires all dressed in the same dirty cargo shorts and drab polo shirts. I strutted in with my finest Burberry and stole smiles from all of their disappointed wives.
I laughed out loud at the Vanilla Ice shot as an example of patriotic dress! Well done GG!
If a Panama or other brimmed hat is too bulky for travel, consider the flat cap. They truly are versatile enough to go from casual to the dressier clothes.
This will help. I am going to Germany in the fall and don't wish to stand out in a negative way.
Just wear adidas tracksuit
Dress terribly and you won't get noticed (I'm German)
I'd like to see a capsule wardrobe for visiting the USA, for non-Americans. Mostly because I suspect it would be a challenge for you to pin down what is obvious to you Americans, but not to outsiders.
At around the 2:48 mark are those red or salmon chinos Raphael is wearing? They look nice. Excellent content as always gents!
Dressing like a tourist is an American thing. They stand out a mile.
No we Germans are :-)
😂 It's pretty easy to spot Germans, British, Russian, Japanese and Chinese tourists as well, isn't it?
@@gentlemansgazette absolutely. Euro tourists always stand out. They always look like they are going hiking... in the middle of the city
@@gentlemansgazette And Russian in Thailand...
Runningshoes with white sportsocks!😜🤢
9:25 those three are the most tourist looking outfit I have ever seen
I think you've nailed it. Discretion and respect are watchwords - smart but restrained. Even if you're spotted as a tourist you'll be flagged as someone who shows respect to the places and cultures they visit, which could win you friends.
Though if you're not careful, a whole lot of those friends will be pickpockets if you overdo it. If you are at a well-known tourist destination, overdressing is not advisable. You don't want to scream "I have money" unless you want to make sure it's gone by noon.
Well-said.
I like this channel . I feel happy while watching the videos. Thanks for posting
Great tips here. When I travel, I borrow from the look of Cary Grant in 'To Catch a Thief' or early jazz artists like Louie Armstrong, Nat King Cole and Miles Davis (before he drifted from cool jazz to psychedelic). I would love to see Gentlemen's Gazette do a video on the menswear style of early jazz artists. They were international style icons who always started from a foundation of classic menswear!
I have a more positive outlook when I am dressed well.
Excellent video :) small addition to the camera section. Tourists are easily noticeable because they carry cameras with OEM straps attached to them (aka it says EOS R5 written big on the back of their neck) so the burglars only need to google that to realize you're lugging about $4k around your neck. That makes you a clear target for burglars because it tells them you are likely not professional/experienced photographer and probably a tourist. Professional photographers often use aftermarket leather straps (some good ones are sold by Barton 1972 for example) and they even cover the camera model with a bit of tape not to be too noticeable how expensive the camera is (although it's debatable that this can also be a giveaway that the camera is expensive).
Great suggestions! When it comes to culturally significant clothing, as a general rule I always say wear it WITH people from that culture. That way you avoid all potential problems of cultural appropriation or disrespect. Plus I’ve always found that people enjoy showcasing their culture and placing yourself as the learner in that relationship is always a safer bet.
I like it! It’s definitely important to remember that tourism and cultural interchange require an extra helping of humility. This is especially true in places with a relatively recent history of having their culture degraded, and in some cases even actively destroyed. Culture belongs to those who participate in it. Local cultures belong to the locals, not to you
That doesn’t mean you can’t explore those cultures or wear the clothes, but like you say, you need to act like a respectful and curious student of culture. If we want to be gentlemen, we have to keep our propriety abroad and take on the role of the respectable, respectful guest
Culture appropriation isn’t real
@@ONEIL311 said the guy named O’Neil, in English
@@ONEIL311 Yeah, it's absolut BS
@@Gilamath. 1 I like stargate and 2 before u make assumptions look at Shaq O’Neil
This was great, thanks so much! I don’t think there’s any greater success than feeling dignified while travelling
Thank you for this great video, with so much advice! I've been in some countries in the last years, work or family vacation, and have seen a lot of those "mistakes". I am always been called "old-fashioned" but better that then otherwise! My dad always said you never get a second chance for a first impression! And that's what important for me: being a gentleman, in every situation!
Kyle I like your style! Great video, great presenter. Thank you.
Well done… I have learnt a lot from your videos over the last few years but the presentation of this one has a really nice feel and tone… thanks for being here guys
Great advice for any kind of gentlemanly situation. This video is a great reminder to always be respectful when traveling to different countries. Thank you.
You might have been clearer that some "tourist places" have an actual DRESS CODE. No tank tops inside St Peter's basilica for example. You mentioned arguing with the Swiss guards, but didn't say why.
(At least you gave examples of head coverings or removing shoes)
No tank top allowed is standard in all catholic churches, I don't know how it is in protestant because I live in predominantly catholic country, but in orthodox churches it is the same.
Thanks for guidance
Americans dressing as they do allows the rest of us to avoid notice.
I remember traveling in Paris in the winter wearing very bright alpine performance gear. On three separate times within one day, I was asked for directions in Swiss German. I had to tell them I was just a tacky American...
Great video! I would love to see a video about a capsule wardrobe for a trip to Paris.
Thank you sir for guide us
Key chains make good keepsakes.
Discreate, easy to pack, functional.
Panama hats are great in any hot area.
Boat shoes are very uncomfortable by the end of a day walking in old town on cobblestone streets. I prefer a good walking shoe with a thicker sole.
This channel is my new favorite one! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Very informative and smoooooth!! 🧳🥰
Call me strange but traveling overseas seems to the best time to put your best foot forward...just a thought.
Funny how you mention Nepal.When I went to Nepal in 2019 you do stand out somewhat unless you wear the local attire .The younger crowd in Kathmandu dresses like trendy hipsters- which is normal anywhere you go.But when I met my higher status connections I dressed neat and casual .They have really beautiful casual attire for men there.
Hahaha epic video! Top tip (for winter) is wear your bulkier items (overcoat, big scarf, chelsea boots) to and fro, saves luggage space and you look good at the airport as a bonus.
Would love to see videos about what to wear in a Caribbean resort where you do not leave the resort. Also, (for when these are available again) a cruise of the Medderitanian.
Can you please do a video on personal travel bags? Recommendations, do’s and don’ts
Nice video Kyle.
For travel I usually wear a seersucker newsboy cap since it is much easier to store and can be worn with headphones.
I always pack a flat cap. They take up no room, look decent, and can be stuffed into any bag with no worries.
What do you want to carry headphones for? Avoid the sounds of a foreign country?
@@iansoutryer3189 It’s more if you are on a train, plane, car or other means of transportation. I wear the hat for the style and because the head bar on headphones leaves an imprint on my hair (because I use pomade), and I’ve found that wearing a hat prevents this.
Here's my advice as an American who has traveled extensively around the world: The most universal clothes men can wear around the world (and not stand out) are nice bluejeans with either a solid color t-shirt (for warmer weather) or a solid color button down shirt. Dont wear any logos on your clothes. Wear nice shoes that are comfortable but not sneakers or sandals. A small day backpack is fine, and is much more secure than a hand case or camera bag. Try forgoing baseball caps, though they are becoming more popular around the world.
What's wrong with sneakers? If you're going to walk a lot, they are the best option.
@@Helgi105 Nothing wrong at all with sneakers, its just advice if you dont want to look like a tourist. Full disclosure: I wore sneakers overseas since I preferred the comfort over the style.
I live in Bucharest and People in Romania wear tennis shoes, shorts, and ball caps. Although not at nice restaurants, etc. bottom line is wear what the locals wear. Don’t listen to the so called travel experts. You will be miserable in jeans when it’s 95 degrees.
@@Helgi105 i wore doc martens throughout Europe 😈
I'd like to talk as calming and classy like this gentleman. Instead of raising my voice up and exasperating at some point of my speech.
Fabulous advice
This is very important video and good choice of topic
I love watching your videos.
Great Guide! I’m currently in Thailand and most of the foreigners here dress as a tourist even though they live here for years.
Also I’d like to know some tips about how to dress at home and when you go to pick up groceries. Not sure if you made that one already. Keep up the good work.
Amazing!
Awesome video as always. Tourists usually stand out but if I see one dressed in a classic way here in Italy, I’ll think he/she’s italian no matter what’s the ethnicity.
"....no matter what the ethnicity is."
Thieves, Pickpockets, muggers. kidnapping, COVID I’m staying home
I struggle with the whole bag/backpack topic.
Nothing beats a backpack when it comes to practicality. But they often / almost always look terrible. Any suggestions here? Messanger Bags are cool but carrying them all day, while on a walking tour through the streets of Hanoi? No thank you. Even with a strap it gets extremely uncomfortable after two hours if you need to carry, a bottle of water, a camera and maybe something to layer for the colder evenings. Maybe the gentleman's backpack is yet to be invented?
Any tips are welcome.
You shouldn't need a massive backpack for a day out on the town. How much do you really need to carry? Ideally you have your hotel or wherever you are staying, and just need as you say, to take water, your camera, and maybe a light jacket depending on the season. A small carrybag is fine for this, depending where you are. If you are actually going hiking or nature exploring, then a backpack might be more appropriate. Most of the advice for this video might not apply if you are doing more engaging things like hiking or tackling nature, but if you are out and about on the town, you shouldn't need to carry too much to begin with, especially by yourself
As a hobby photographer, there's no other realistic option for me. I just aim for a sleek and plain looking, smaller sized backpack.
I suggest a tote backpack, especially in hip or fashionable neighborhoods. A small sling or messenger is completely adequate for just about any non-hiking day trip.
The cleaner and simpler slimmer the better.
I made my mirrorless camera fit in my jacket pocket and have a lens in my other pocket so I can be ready for pictures when arriving but as my clothes are cut rather loose for my body, they don't look bulky.
@@senoB I was struggling with the same question. Wonderful suggestion, thanks very much!
The first half of this video mirror some of the prepper and survivalist videos on "the grey man" theory. There is some great advice in this video.
Before watching the video: you are right.
Hmm, I think I gave a too harsh comment in the previous community post, your tips are quite reasonable and practical actually. Great video!
What's that jacket on 7:54? I want to buy that NOW.
Help finding it!
FYI: It looks like a British Barbour jacket (waxed and waterproof). You can Google “Barbour” to call up the company’s selection.
I'd be interesting to see style advice for different body types. Modern fashion tends to cater to a certain ideal, where as classic style is by nature more conducive to a wide spectrum of human shapes and sizes.
Great video, Kyle. I would be interested in seeing capsule wardrobes for different cities or even broad areas like Madrid or Tokyo and Northern Europe versus Southern Europe
On one of my cruises in Asia, I wore a Canadian maple leaf T-shirt with very thin slacks. I'm American, but it seemed the safer choice. And at 35 degrees Celsius plus, I'm not wearing a jacket. I did wear a nice straw hat, though. (It's actually made of paper!)
Can you please make a video about questions etiquette, what to ask and what to not ask and how to answer politely, and how to avoid a nosy question politely? Thank you so much!
3:26 Thank you for mentioning the Sunrisers Hyderabad my former hometown IPL team. That caught me by surprise was not expecting that !! That jersey will look great on your brawny physique .
Except in Texas. When in Texas wearing a local Texas T-shirt is just fit for the course. Texans love Texas so much if they like the tourist momentos then they'll buy and wear them.
Can I wear a pith helmet if I am on an African safari or in the Australian outback?
Why not? It is really stylish. Though you may stick out.
Yes
Gotta keep the Empire in check somehow :-)
No Pith helmets in the Outback, LOL. Though you will fit in if you wear an Akubra.
His calm commentary is so soothing
I am literally on my way home from a vacation when I saw this video.
The Panama hat was in fact created in Aguadas, Colombia.
I moved from the Philippines to New York City 2 years ago, and I actually learned how to spot tourists. Just my opinions: Usually they're wearing a lot of athletic clothes or very loose clothes. For the the women, spaghetti straps are a dead giveaway. The men wear Oakley sunglasses with a cap on. Their body shape is molded to fit the shape of their full-size SUV seats, because they barely walk. They're slow to walk. Very slow. I can literally hear them struggle and breathe heavily, especially walking up the stairs out of the subway. Another thing, they wear fanny packs and white tube socks.
I ❤️ NY t-shirt? No explanation needed. Referring to subway lines by color instead of letters and numbers. Foreign cellphones, if they're holding, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Sony (with Docomo branding).
Perfect timing
on the way to Mexico this month
Be careful, but if you dress like a charro they'll like it lol.
Please look into the topic of cruises. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of material to draw from that. Especially, dinner/dress attire!
This was a good one.
How convenient I’m packing to go on vacation today.
Thank you.
That dabbing Mona Lisa shirt... I need it.
I'm Egyptian we get a lot of tourists here so whatever you wear we will always spot a tourist.
I love the thumbnail photo lol.
I agree with most of what you said except for wearing shorts unless you are at a beach resort.
I'm of European descent and planning a trip to central and east Africa. I will definitely stand out as a tourist. Any ideas for not looking too much like as a tourist?
Great video, but a bit late for me! I arrived yesterday to DC with a bunch of short sleeve shirts, shorts, and birkenstocks... Such a peasant!! 🤦🏽♂️
I just saw a suit on ebay from Studio Milano. Does anyone have an option on the quality/value of this companies products?
Very good video/ es ist wirklich hilfreich da ich morgen in den Urlaub fahre
You've just described a completely different way of everyday dressing that someone can dress everyday.
When I travel, my choice is to take two suits (I wear one on the plane) and optionally white tie. The suits are mix and matchable. I bring one hat in my suitcase (and optionally a collapsible opera hat), along with one hat on the plane ride. I bring lots of accesories. A few shirts, 2-3 pairs of shoes (black, brown, and formal), several braces and one belt, and my pocket watch. I bring a polo shirt and optionally shorts for any very casual occasions. Finally, I wear my best suit on the plane, in order to respect the tradition of dressing up for travel. This is my travel wardrobe.
Don't forget the monocle.
Could you make a video explaining how not to dress as an American tourist?
Don't wear socks and running shoes in a country with a hot climate. Source: a southeast Asian who sees way too many westerns walking around like that
its simple no basketball shorts and a baggy tshirt
@@georgev5758 Don't forget the fanny pack
Watch UA-cam videos of the places you are going and dress like them. It is all mentioned in the video. It also depends on who you are meeting there, don't dress casual if you plan of visiting operas, high end places, or dropping into fine men's clothing stores. No crosses or short skirts in Muslim countries.
If nothing else Dont wear jaclets or trousers with bold checked patterns...painful to the eyr of good taste.
