get on google, look up clubs and restraunts and other places people your age might hang out, see what people are wearing, tone it down a notch and buy accordingly.

If you're an American you're going to look like a tourist no matter what.

I can tell the difference between an American and any European nationality by their faces. Americans are mixed with so many different european ethnic groups, they have a distinct look that no one else in Europe has.

depends where you're going. If travelling around the north you want to dress pretty well - pretty much everyone there is effay. my sister told me she got rejected from eating in cafes because she wasn't dressed nice enough

>> No.6593025

Don't worry about this much at all homie. The Italians dress well, but the majority of the people in their 20's are still finding themselves.

You will notice a lot of people dressing incredibly euro-trash in the majority of italy. So no matter what, your style is going to be a bit outta whack with what they wear. Thick Jersey Shore, but with a little more class.

Now when you get into the middle/upper class type establishments, things peak pretty quickly with people dressing very well. But to be completely honest, none of these people care about you, so they wont even notice you.

Ultimately, as long as you aren't walking around with pale legs, high shorts, a fanny pack, a tourist tshirt, and a camera hanging off you all over the place, you'll likely be able to mask your tourist nature as best you can.

M hm. It's from one nation in central Europe.

>all the way back from when they got off the boat?
I've met most of my great grandparents, and all of them told me their great grandparents were from that country too. Also, my parents came to America, so I'm a first generation American.

>Or is it many different European nations, melting together to create you?
No, I don't think so.

Prior to him distroying it, it was /adv/, /soc/ and /r9k/ all rolled into one. It was really brutal. Originally it was a little bit of a love affair for him because it was all original content, which was sick, but it slowly turned into this weird sess pool and then got dispersed around into a few different areas in hopes of turning /r9k/ into a source of original content rather then right back to its old self.

/soc/ did take a lot of crazy out of it though.

It's probably hot as hell, depending where you're going. Just wear t shirt, light jeans and sneakers.
You will look like a tourist because of your face (or, if you're english, because you look like a lobster in the sun and are swimming in the pool with your t shirt on), not because of your clothes.

I was in Italy for a week in june. I stumbled in to one of the best resturants in Rome wearing shorts without reservation, and I still got a table because I did not expect shit. Just be polite, and everything will be fine.

Protip: Eat at Trattoria Monti. It's not far from the main train terminal/termini. You will not regret it.

For the better dressed italians I saw a lot of slim chinos, jeans, shirts blazers and colorful loafers without socks. The others dress eurotrash with animal print and popped polo shirts.

people are not expected to speak any random european or other language the same way they are expected to speak english.
it's like if you started speaking in broken norwegian to someone in norway they'd just tell you to switch to english, but if they were speaking norwegian at you they would have no expectations of you understanding any of it.

I guess you can't really win though because no one likes that one american tourist who refuses to speak anything other than english as if everyone had to cater to him, while using some corny phrasebook or something might get you mixed reactions at best for the reasons described above.

in real life it's probably nbd though, I'm sure most people appreciate the effort

We wear bright colours, though. Especially in the summer. It's just that americans have no concept of what colours go well together.

The easiest to spot americans are the ones wearing training shoes, cargo shorts and t-shirts which are too big on them (if they're not fat)
