hey there fellow travelers mark here
with Walters rule and today we're in
Rome in front of the Roman Forum here
and today we have for you our five
things most of like the American to us
shouldn't wear when they do come to
Europe because I see a lot of my fellow
Americans traveling around and making
some fashion faux-pas and now I'm not a
fashionista this isn't about how you
should dress and things like that this
is my advice for five things you
shouldn't wear so you can fit in better
feel more comfortable and be a little
bit safer when you're wearing the right
clothes when you travel okay so this is
a thought she needs to think this is a
help when you travel better video okay
and the first things first baseball caps
you do not wear a baseball cap when you
come to Europe I see a lot of guys
wearing them yes you might be bald like
me or balding slightly balding huh huh
get a normal hat don't get a baseball
cap because that gives it away every
single time and a fish if you wear it
backwards it just screams you're from
the US okay if you're not from the US
that's what it says and when you go
around you'll see not a lot of people do
wear baseball caps especially with like
a New York Yankees logo or Boston or
whatever so do make sure you kind of
stay away from that one okay second
thing not to wear for my guy travelers
khaki pants look Europeans they were
pants they were slacks they were tight
jeans stuff like that but they do not
wear khakis okay your Dockers you're not
bringing those to Europe you might say
what they're really comfortable yes they
are really comfortable but that's not
what people wear around here so while
I'm trying to help you do is fit in
better so you don't stick out as the
tourists that people want a pickpocket
and Rob you can fit more in like a local
look I don't look very much like a local
because I'm a big fat guy but that
doesn't mean I can't fit in okay so
khakis sorry guys sorry doctors people
don't bring them with you okay third
don't I have for you when you come here
don't wear athleisure wear or athletic
wear when you come here I know in the
u.s. you see a lot of people wearing
their Under Armour t-shirts and they've
got their adidas pants or sports pants
on stuff like that yoga pants things
like that here in Europe people don't
wear the athletic leisure clothes asked
normal clothes they were those athletic
clothes to go to the gym to go running
to go biking things like that
I know in the u.s. it's kind of a normal
thing but here we don't use it okay just
letting you know that
and our next don't which kind of follows
with that is don't wear your big baggy
u.s. University sweatshirt I'm here in
May and there's a lot of us travelers
backpackers here you know from colleges
and they got their Wisconsin logo on
them or their Illinois logo on them or
their Harvard stuff on there and it just
screams I'm a tourist come rob me and
you'll notice that people around here
they're not wearing hoodies they're not
wearing those baggy sweatshirts
especially with a big graphic prints on
the front so you might want to stay away
from that one now I told you sometimes I
mess up on these two I wear my well just
world logo sometimes so you do have that
and all these these are really up to you
I'm just trying to help you fit in
better so you can have a better time and
meet more locals and not get picked on
with a lot of selfie stick so if you
stick me to selfie stick these kind of
things all right and my fit don't for
you is don't wear sports shoes here's
the thing is you'll see people here in
Europe where input sports shoes and
stuff like that but they're more like
City Street shoes versus like running
Nike shoes or Under Armour shoes or
Reeboks or whatever so I would stay away
from that because if you have on your
normal sports shoes from the US with
your white socks
it is usually a dead giveaway that
you're from the US so what you might
want to do is you might want to get you
know I wear stuff like this you know
kind of like a easy to wear slip on slip
off which is great for TSA kind of
travel shoe and it kind of fits in
because it's not a sports shoe but it
gives me some support and I kind of fit
in a bit better with that so you do have
that so anyway those are my five things
you shouldn't wear when you're traveling
oh if you're a female traveler going
along with the shoes don't bring your
high heels with all the cobblestones and
stuff like that you're gonna have some
issues I've seen more than one traveler
wipe out on our high heels because of
the cobblestones
I've seen some get stuck in the great
sometimes stuck in the cobblestone if
you're gonna be going out to a fancy
dinner or something okay you can bring
him but you're not gonna wear them
around tab because it's not practical
all right so I hope that helps no I'm
not a fashionista but I am a traveler
that wants to help other travelers
travel better so there are five honest
tips about things my fellow travelers
shouldn't wear when they're traveling if
