Please Note: This Video is for 35+ year old US travelers heading to Europe. Young Europeans do wear most of these styles and trends, but the 35+ European crowd do not wear them to the same extent. And the locals won't care what you wear, so this is more to help you blend in a bit better. Great travels to you all & Thank you for all the comments & subscriptions.

Don't bother with all of these, we know if you are Americans.. you are loud… We can hear you accent and you always look confused and amazed..

I think you mean shorts and not khakis. Khaki is a color. It can be a short or dress pants. The British even have an expression, "same khaki pants," to mean it is the same thing,

Khaki pants are perfectly acceptable in Europe. Who told you not to wear khaki pants?!

i dont know what outskirts of europe you have been to but ive never heard of any of these things. no offence

Dear international children, pickpockets , and thieves of the world, especially in Europe:
One thing must be understood about America— AMERICANS ARE NOT ALL THE SAME
Your “no go” suggestion concerning—/>
Khaki’s
Ball caps
Sports logo
Sneakers
Doesn’t fit well with some U.S.tourist’s who are unwilling to bow down to another country’s displeasure in seeing such attire on a person
You may stumble across an American fellow from the west/southwest region of the U.S. who will be wearing over sized khaki shorts and shirt with a dickie belt and gold buckle containing the first letter of his last name printed on it in old English lettering. Along with this, he will have white socks up to his knees and some old school Nike Cortez sport shoes for comfortable European regional walking. He will also be wearing a ball cap with a flat brim and YES—a sports logo on it. He will most likely have tattoos (once again using the Old English calligraphy) but there will be no color in the tattoo’s (only black ink). European malefactors who choose to work this type of American fellow over, may find themselves taking a sudden and swift nap on some public cobblestone dotted street somewhere most likely near a pub.

Baseball Caps are fine when in the U.K. We are like Cousins to Americans rn cause of the internet

AMERICANS! stop wearing a beret with a stripe shirt in France, Nobody wears them both at the same time and you become a laughing stock to us

Who cares what they think? Also anyone trying to rob me, is going to end up in intensive care.

By the way you are wrong about europeans and athletic wear, it's widely worn in certain working-class neighborhoods, try the Paris suburbs, you'll see what I mean…

Only douchey guys wear backwards baseball caps anyway, at least here on the east coast.

Geeze, I don't even wear this shit in the US. This is stuff I wear to bed. Wtf. No wonder I find American men so unattractive.

There is some good advice in here, but the biggest mistake he makes is treating Europe like it is a country. I know he pinned a comment a year after publishing this video to correct himself a little, but it is still worth it to point out. I am traveling in Bulgaria right now and pretty much 75% of guys 25 or below seem to be wearing sports clothes as their everyday wear. Remember, Europe is comprised of 44 countries and there is no one style. Go to Copenhagen, Denmark and then to Burgas, Bulgaria and you will see fashion choices that could not be more different. The obvious ones like University sweaters, or things that clearly reference your origin are good to avoid, so you won't look like a tourist, but anything else will change depending on the specific country you plan to visit. Sneakers are common in many European countries with people of all ages.

Honestly the only good advise here was about the high-heels. The other things are like… "if you absolutely don't want anyone to realise you're a tourist before you open your mouth".

Never seen so much bullshit in my life, its completly normal to wear a tracksuit and a baseball cap, almost everyone I know does it. Don't know where this guy has been but in the Netherlands all youths wear tracksuits and baseball caps. I always thought it was more of European then a American thing honestly.

I know tons of people who wear baseball caps and i'm from Europe wtf 😂 It is seen as a working class thing but its completly normal.

No matter what I’m bringing my felt and boots when I go during winter

Great advice for how not to fit in Europe!

try not to speak us accents are jarring when everyone is European and can be heard a mile away

I as European wear all these things except the American uni and baseball cap one

I probs won't even try

Stay there and don't come back your back where you belong and yes its time you feel what people from other countries that come to the so called usa which you're forfathers stole

Come visit any Council estate in the uk full of dick heads in sports clothing Primarni is their preferred brand

We can spot you regardless of what you are wearing, and you are so off course, particulary with "gym clothes"

This is old, but still: this advice is absolutely worthless!

Europe is a continent with a lot of different nations which all have different cultures, fashion trends and etiquettes. We wear athletic garments casually outside of the gym, we wear baseball caps, we wear oversized shirts with graphic prints, we wear all of the clothes this guy is warning against.

Within a country there will of course be a multitude of social groups and sub-cultures, so it’s not unusual at all to see people wearing these kinds of clothes.

There are probably certain cities or countries here where certain types of clothing aren’t worn as often, but that doesn’t mean pickpockets will assume you’re a tourist for wearing it.

Most likely pickpockets will target you because of the bags you carry, seeing you carry a passport around, hearing you speak a foreign language, visiting popular tourist locations etc.

Don’t give yourselves a false sense of security for not wearing khakis. Instead, avoid flashing valuables, keep an eye on your luggage at all times, and be wary of strangers chatting you up on the street (to distract you while their partner cuts a hole in your bag to grab your stuff, or slashes a strap so they can yank the whole bag and run).

Be safe on your travels, no matter what you wear, wherever you go! ☺️

No baseball cap. That's rough.

Anyone reading this. Please wear whatever you like. Its not a crime to be a tourist, also how petty to tell other people what to wear. And what a sad life u must have if u dont wear those boots or hat just because of what a stranger might think.

Clothes are secondary (and baseball caps are pretty much universal now), the giveaway is the very loud way of talking…. You don't need to scrutinize the attire you can just hear Americans coming….

What’s the big deal about looking like you’re from the U S?

So this was a bit of a shock to me because Im from Norway, and here all of your mentions are pretty much what everyone wears on a daily basis.
Good Video though, I liked it 🙂

So. I'm American on a vacation and I need to fit in why again? As an American, I would like to tell all travelers visiting us to come as you are! We honestly could care less. In fact it makes you more interesting.

Chain Mail ?

The biggest giveaway that I was an American traveling abroad was that I smiled at everyone. Once I stopped smiling, I stopped being targeted as tourist. Buying a local dark jacket probably helped too. 😅

The backwards cap screams unclassy Americans.
