HOW NOT TO LOOK LIKE A TOURIST WHILE TRAVELING TO EUROPE THIS SPRING I How To Pack For Europe

[@KaterinaFerrara]

We need advice on cute sneakers with dresses because honestly we walk 20km a day in Rome and on vacation. I love dresses but sneakers are a must. Sandals and loafers don’t have the arch support for my 50 year old feet ❤

[@katherineandini5962]

I live in the Netherlands, I walk & cycle a lot to get around. For me the best sneakers/trainers so far are Onitsuka Tigers GSM & Reebok Club C. I think they don’t look too contrasting with dresses & skirts. They’re both lace-up sneakers & come in many colours. The soles of these shoes hold up so well for nearly daily use & the inner footbed are soft enough without feeling too gooey. If you’re not into lace-up, check out slide-on model from Onitsuka Tigers (I think it’s one of the Mexico models). Skechers are great options too, but so far I only tried their running shoes!

Adidas Stan Smith, look good and are very comfortable. There are two kinds of them: natural leather and eco leather. Natural one is much more comfortable. I also wear high Converse. Low Converse can hurt your leg and high are more reliable for long distances. There is not much support though.

[@sarizonana]

@@MyVesper I haven’t tried the high converse but damn low converse cut my feet. You know right when they end after walking for an hour they cut your feet and it’s awful.

[@chiarac980]

I m italian, you can try italian shoes😜...

[@erinyoung7789]

We just got back from Rome. I watched your videos and followed all of these tips, they were spot on! Thank you!! Can’t wait to go back!❤

[@StayFabulousTL]

My pleasure! Hope you had the most wonderful time! Come back soon :)

[@charlesbuhr9567]

Flip flops belong at the beach. Great tips. I was in France in 2018 & we made sure we followed those tips. It helps to know what you should wear when you go out to eat or visit a church in Europe. 💗Pamela

[@goatskip]

Your advice also holds for Mexico and possibly all of Latin America, unless you're at the beach.

[@StayFabulousTL]

As always, I truly hope you find this video useful when you start planning your trip to Europe :)

[@AB-kc2wm]

Can’t wait for May 17! First stop Frankfurt to pickup my husband, Rome again and Sardinia!My tip is that if your hotel has a pool, like Parco Dei Príncipi or if you will travel to the beach,don’t forget pool/ beach dresses. They are extremely fancy in silk,crepe. Don’t forget to wear a great bikini,forget the always black and you will be fabulous! My best wishes from🇧🇷!

[@pile333]

7:43 pure truth. Listen to this smart girl, dudes! I would add: test also you trekking boots if you are going trekking to Italian Alps, otherwise your feet will be plagued by blisters if you make a wrong (or too cheap) choice!

[@Sholton7558]

Hello. Thank you for all the lovely advice. You mentioned not wearing a baseball cap. Could you recommend hats to wear in Europe to protect your skin from the sun for those of us who have fair sensitive skin? Would you like to make a video about it? Maybe you already talked about it in one of your videos. Could you share the link? Thank you for all the inspiration!

[@noralorenz6227]

@@StayFabulousTL we are booking a trip to Sicily then! I am so excited!!!

[@alisong2328]

Great advice. However, I've found that heels are not good on cobbled streets, and there are often many of these in Europe. Also, unless you plan on wearing them a lot, they add unnecessary weight to your suitcases - which will be weighed (including carry-ons and personal items). Boots with a bit of heel could be a better option.

[@StayFabulousTL]

You are right Alison. I talk about it a lot in all of my style videos. Block heels would be the best option for cobbled streets.

If someone comes to Europe to Italy and wants to buy casual sneakers what Italian brands to look out for

[@Manuel421]

I understand the majority of your wardrobe videos are targeted at women but I still appreciate the info as always. What do you normally default to wearing on most of your trips? During Summer especially it gets extremely hot out here in AZ so you could definitely pack your swimsuits if you ever decided to visit out here. I've mostly traveled to warmer places where relatives live such as Puerto Rico, Florida, California etc...but it's still important to dress well. For awhile now I've upgraded from mainly shorts and t shirts to Linen button downs,Polos, Chinos, Lightweight Wool Dress pants, and even a pair of lightweight jeans among other garments. Excellent content! Let me know if you've visited any of the states I've mentioned as well would love to know. As far as European countries go my dream destinations would have to be Italy and Spain. Maybe someday we'll see. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

[@StayFabulousTL]

Thank you Manuel! During the summer I live in linen. I've never been to Puerto Rico, but I traveled a lot to California and Florida. Hope you will have a chance to visit Italy and Spain soon! I would add Greece to that list as well ;)

[@Manuel421]

@@StayFabulousTL What do you normally pack for California and Florida? Puerto Rico is pretty humid as well plus the mosquitos out there can be vicious lol so long sleeves and pants are an excellent idea...I think wearing a t shirt and shorts was a mistake over there. Despite that though I've always enjoyed all my vacations. Nice! I'll ask again on the next video since you probably wont see this response but I enjoy wearing Linen as well. If you had the opportunity would you travel to P.R? There are many beautiful sights to check out there as well plus more beaches and resorts so you'd definitely enjoy it. Sadly not anytime soon but perhaps someday so thanks for your positive outlook:) I agree with you.

[@s3731711]

We just returned from Rome. I wore some Chloe woody sandals on a warmer day last week and the looks from Italian women were hilarious. They took one look at my feet in horror 😅

[@StayFabulousTL]

That's funny! They do look, don't they😅 Hope you had the most wonderful trip!

[@cm_mb]

Those are cute and probably comfortable. What can be wrong with wearing them in Italy or anywhere in the world? Just curious🤷‍♀️

[@b.m.6457]

​​@@cm_mb usually in south Europe we see that like a strange thing. Even in the south of Spain we don't usually wear sandals until half May. And it's a No-No sandals with socks, that's for german people maybe 😊 Ah, and we don't usually go outside in sport clothes, not even to supermarket

[@cm_mb]

I'm questioning the particular sandals mentioned by the OP, Chloe sandals. They look chic and possibly (hopefully) comfortable. The OP didn't mention wearing them with socks. So the question stands: What is wrong with wearing them, especially if the weather is appropriate?

[@b.m.6457]

@@cm_mb well, I don't know how are those particular sandals but I guess they are open showing the foot. We don't use to wear open shoes until later, end of May or June, so it doesn't matter how elegant those could be, they are still open shoes.

[@pile333]

The temperature and the climate of end of April is so damn nice, especially now that we've seen some rain after one year and half here in the North... We know that soon it will get damn hot though.

[@lindab5789]

I just discovered you, and have enjoyed your videos very much!! Overall, I agree with you on what not to wear. However, there is some variation across the continent. I just returned from northern Europe, including Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. There were plenty of women in leggings and active wear. Also, lots of men and women wear baseball caps. My husband and I wore our caps there and did not feel out of place.

[@MiaHessMusic]

Thank you, great video. I am an older (60s) traveler. What is appropriate for someone older? If you bring linen or even silk, how exactly do you pack it?? Especially if you want to try to pack light. I wish my sister in law who worked for Chanel in Paris were still alive. She would pack and there would be no wrinkles. I can see bringing a jacket, makes sense. Definitely a sweater too! I livd in Pisa in the wintertime about 50 years ago and it was COLD!!! Even Pompeii and Rome were definitely chilly.

Uh oh, I just bought a new adidas white baseball cap for our trip to Rome, Greece and Barcelona this summer. How do men keep the sun off their face if they don’t wear a cap? I figured to not wear any USA logo wear to not stand out. But even an adidas cap isn’t good?

[@Punchgirl4]

My son bought a Panama type straw hat when we visited Spain and he looked very cool, and it protected the nape of his neck as well as his face. You can get ones that can be rolled up so they don’t take up much space. Just an idea.

[@Cindypisces]

Just wear a cap with no logo..nothing that says adidas or a sports team. I just got back from Spain and I saw those guys wearing anything with insignia on it like caps or t-shirts as prime targets for pick pockets. Definitely don’t wanna stick out as a tourist.
