HELP!
Will you please give this American woman some much needed European fashion advice??? What clothing should I absolutely NOT wear in Europe? I don’t want to look like a total geek or a goofy American stereotype. I realize we’re the only ones who routinely wear athletic shoes while NOT playing sports, but what else do I need to know? I’ve heard hiking boots while NOT hiking are a give-a-way. What about all-weather outdoor-type
clothing (North Face, etc.), like weather-proof parkas or fleece pullovers? Are those also a dead give-a-way that I’m an American tourist? How about jeans? Are they a definite "no-no?" I may be travelling alone at some point, so for safety’s sake I prefer NOT to stand out in a crowd. But I also want to pack light and be warm/comfortable as well as somewhat in style.
ALSO: Any advice on appropriate clothing during late Sept., Oct. and most of Nov. in
France, Spain & Italy??? I’m not familiar with the weather that time of year in Europe.
I know I have a lot of questions so thanks in advance!!!
