Just because you might be savvy in the ways of finding cheap traveldeals, including cheapairplane tickets, discount hotel rooms, and cheap vacation packages, thatis no excuse for committing major travel fashion faux pas.
The following are fashions to be avoided while living outof a suitcase, according to Smarter Travel:
-
Wearingsocks with sandals is considered a major fashion violation. If you want to keep your feet warm wear closedtoe shoes with socks.
-
Fannypacks identify wearers as tourists and can bring visitors to the attention ofthieves. Instead of packing all of yourvaluables around you waist, consider buying a theft proof bag, carrying yourwallet in your front pocket, or using a cross body bag. All of these provide better pickpocket protectionwithout identifying you as a fashion dead tourist.
-
Save(as in wait to wear) souvenir shirts until you get home. Alternatively buy a good looking shirt thatwill remind you of the place you purchased it rather than a boring souvenirshirt that only has the name of a city ironed onto it.
-
Nothingmakes an American tourist in another country stand out more than by wearingbright white sneakers. In most outcountries, sneakers are only worn when working out; not when dining ortouring.
-

Rivaljerseys and hats are the last things you want to wear to a city you arevisiting. Flaunting rival apparel atyour vacation destination marks you as an outsider. Wear something neutral so that you do notimmediately antagonize everyone around you.
