hey there when you travel to Europe here our outfit pieces for men to wear I'm
going to be showing you trousers or pants than a man can wear when he
travels to Europe shorts outerwear shoes shirts and even boxers the first outfit
piece is a nice pair of shorts that can get wet and block the win and be stain
repellent these shorts as well as some trousers that I'm going to show you will
do all three this brand is Gerry and what my husband likes about these shorts
is that they are water wicking or water resistant or repelling if you listen to
them they make a noise but they are not scruffy okay they're made with 97% nylon
and 3% spandex so they have the stretch but they house they also have that
cooling effect this brand is Jerry and it is available from Costco and I will
also find some that are available in everything that I talked about from
Kohl's and Amazon if I can find them one feature my husband likes about the
bottoms that you're going to wear to Europe is that you have a regular pocket
but you also have a zipper Bowl cargo type pocket down below and what he did
when he traveled to Europe was he packed his passports or wallet in here like
when we're on the subway that kind of thing
we have also traveled with a travel belt that sticks inside your pants and
there's also one like that looks like a necklace that would fit under your shirt
we also have the hawk company brand of shorts one thing that we like about
these shorts in addition to the pockets and the additional pockets that they
have down below that are zippered is that they look nice if you have to go
into a restaurant you can add a polo shirt that you buy from Costco or Kohl's
because guys are easy like that how many times have you been traveling and you
see a man in a polo shirt and you're like his wife got that for him at
I bet and then there's also another kind of Jerri brand that has a belt in here I
believe that's the one I could find for you down below it is a thin enough belt
it kind of is hidden all the way around the waistband and then it comes out here
but my husband doesn't use it he will wear a regular like leather belt on
these shorts if he needs them my husband is 510 and he says that these shorts and
pants are all true to size now one brand that I have from Kohl's is
the Columbia brand and it has the extra pocket but the zipper is not hidden down
here it's another helpful feature if you need to put passport or something lower
than a regular pocket would be for pickpocketers that's the main reason
these Columbia brand shorts have elastic wear your love handles are so you can
eat all the pizza and croissants that you would like it also has a cooling
effect technology in this and these are at Kohl's and I will list an additional
type that they have from Kohl's that are Columbia brand as well for trousers or
pants it's similar material and it's my husband's brand these were all from
Costco but they are flat front they have the regular pocket and then they have
the zippered pocket that is hidden it's got a lip over it and then in the back
these pockets are also zipped and then flapped over as well now when we travel
to Europe my husband likes to store his wallet in the front pocket because he
can just stick his hand down in there if we're on a subway or in a tight
situation or sketchy situation he can put his hand down there and kind of
protect that wallet at all times I know if they're professionals they are going
to get away with it somehow and then there's also an AV brand that
I'm going to try and look for I'm going to try very hard to find very similar
fabric pants for you we traveled in the month of March and it was in the upper
40s and very very windy 20 to 30 plus mile per hour winds in Berlin Munich
and then in Normandy up in France beautiful such an awesome place I wish I
would have gone there earlier go to Normandy if you haven't been and right
there on the beach there are all these houses to stay at anyway my husband said
that these pants were more rent wind repellent then or when blocking then a
good pair of thick denim jeans would have been he said that they blocked the
win something crazy for him when he wore his outerwear the down jacket and we got
this at Costco as well because he's easy like Sunday morning it's much like the
North Face or those kind of things just a down jacket inside pocket in outer
pockets for your hat he also had a sock hat we recommend that you wear a coat
that has a hood if you were going somewhere or a detachable hood if it's
going to be windy or really cold that day because for our tour we were
standing on the beach and our tour guide did not catch on that we were freezing
and really not even listening at that point because we were miserably cold and
my husband was holding his face like this he got wind bird and for me I had a
hood on my jacket and a sock hat or beanie whatever you call him leave me
comment below or answer this poll to tell me what you call a sock hat or a
beanie a hood helps block that wind just enough if you turn the right way on a
windy day if you have it detachable it just helps now because my husband is a
pilot and we travel with benefits that means we can fly standby and get on at a
discounted rate if there are open seats we have to abide by a dress code so we
have to wear like business casual shoes and clothes in Europe we saw a lot of
tiny plaid shirts ok or the simple polo shirts that you would find at Kohl's but
for dress shirts I did see a lot of the tiny plan not the big plan but the tiny
plan and the whole reason why you don't want to stick out or look that much
different even though people can tell that you are American or visiting from
another country because of your fashion or style the main thing is you don't
want to stick out pickpocketers if you just scream easy
pockets take all my money I don't know what I'm doing because I'm walking
slowly I'm on my phone I have big letters across my t-shirt or my
sweatshirt says University of Texas hook em horns it sticks out to pick pocketers
that's the whole reason we don't want to stick out and pick pocketers one good
thing about traveling to Europe is they wear tennis shoes now and used to
Americans would stick out because they all head on a six or white Asics and
because I have such concerns about being comfortable with my feet I wear grey
tennis shoes so I won't stick out that much but I'm sure they can still tell
I'm a big ol American my husband has been spending I've had to say stop
spending by buying boxers this year I think one of the brand's was the most
comfortable pair of boxers and another brand that he loves is Tommy John the
reason he likes Tommy John boxers is because they are longer than a regular
pair of boxers would be I love the patterns there you can really have some
fun with the patterns they are made with 86% pima cotton and 14% spandex so
they're a little stretchy but they're really smooth like they don't feel like
cotton boxers they don't feel like those biker shorts either now for shoes in
Europe or like Alaska you would need if you were going off-road you would need
some shoes that can really handle different terrains and this is what we
have used in the past one thing we use for flying on the
airplane and dressing up for a nicer restaurant is another pair of Merrill's
we those were 17 years old these he just bought this year so I do have a link for
them so they are comfortable they're supportive they go with every color
pants or trousers or shorts that you have denim they go with those but they
can also louse if you're going to a nicer restaurant and then he also has
these that are built a little more like a tinny shoe down here but they are
waterproof they can get wet they're water repellent or what
and they kept his feet warm but he bought these like the week before and
did not make sure they were worn in he did not get a blister at all all right
what have I forgotten Oh denim we did see a lot of regular denim light light
denim skinny jeans we saw a lot of boxer or joggers with the band at the base of
the leg the wide band if your ankle like we used to wear in the 80s and the 90s
they were everywhere in Europe we saw tiny shoes they are wearing white teeny
shoes they're wearing colored tennis shoes oh and we also saw a ton of vans
if you have a teenage boy vans the black ones with the white thing on it converse
I didn't see a whole lot of converse this time but anyway whatever works and
is comfortable comfortable for you will work hopefully you will not stand out as
