While you always want to be comfortable during your travels, part of staying safe in an unfamiliar place is dressing to blend in\u2014<\/em>or, at least, not dressing to stand out. Keep in mind local customs and attitudes, as well as religious beliefs, when choosing what to wear while traveling, especially abroad. Whether it\u2019s because you\u2019ll stick out like a sore thumb overseas or you\u2019ll be uncomfortable on a plane, here are 10 things you should avoid wearing while traveling, as well as ideas for what to wear instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revealing Clothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"woman
SFIO CRACHO\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Research your destination, opt for modest clothing in more conservative destinations, and cover up appropriately when you\u2019re visiting religious sites. Tank tops and shorts\u2014as well as shirts with distasteful logos or words\u2014can be considered offensive in many Middle Eastern and Asian countries, and many churches in Europe have strict dress codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some parts of the world, women should avoid miniskirts, tank tops, bra tops, and sometimes even shorts and capri pants. Revealing dresses and cleavage-bearing necklines may also make you stand out in conservative countries. Men should avoid shorts and sleeveless tops in many Middle Eastern countries, or when entering a church or other holy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear:<\/em> <\/strong>Pants and long skirts<\/a> are a safe bet, and women may want to carry a shawl<\/a> in their bag or purse just in case. As a general rule, travelers should cover their shoulders and knees when entering any church or holy site to avoid unwanted stares or being denied entry. It\u2019s also wise to keep your feet and ankles covered. When in doubt, stick to long sleeves, and men, keep that chest hair concealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

Flashy Jewelry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Never wear expensive, flashy jewelry when traveling abroad, unless you want your diamond ring, pearls, or pricey watch to be tagged for someone else\u2019s<\/em> collection. You may also be more likely to misplace your cherished jewelry while traveling. Instead, leave the valuables at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear: <\/em><\/strong>If you must have a little adornment, bring one or two costume pieces<\/a> that will go with your outfits. And if you choose to wear your engagement ring, turn the stone to the inside of your hand on public transportation and in large crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

Impractical Shoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImpractical\u201d covers a wide range of bad footwear choices, including flip-flops (unless you\u2019re at the beach), high heels (unless you\u2019re attending a formal event), and brand-new shoes (because wearing shoes that haven\u2019t been broken in is just asking for blisters). While sneakers are supportive, it\u2019s wise to stay away from all-white trainers that will just get dirty\u2014and mark you as an American tourist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear<\/em><\/strong>: Consider the climate and the activities you\u2019ll be doing on your trip. Generally speaking, the key is to pick comfortable, supportive shoes<\/a> in neutral or darker colors\u2014and don\u2019t forget appropriate socks. If you\u2019re traveling anywhere but a beach, stick with closed-toe shoes, which can help prevent insect bites or cuts on your toes from gravelly surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wrong Colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ann Haritonenko\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re all for expressing yourself, but when you travel, bright colors aren\u2019t always the way to do it. You\u2019ll stick out more in many destinations, and if you spill your gelato, it\u2019s going to be harder to hide that stain. You want to blend in, not draw unwanted attention to yourself (and nothing does the latter better than a neon green tank top).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding certain colors can even keep you safe. In sub-Saharan Africa, where tsetse flies transmit a potentially fatal disease known as trypanosomiasis, the CDC recommends wearing \u201cneutral colors that blend with the background environment\u201d because the flies are attracted to bright or dark colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear<\/em><\/strong>: Unless loud colors or bold patterns are the norm in your destination, consider sticking with conservative hues like navy, blue, tan, and gray\u2014and you\u2019ll rarely go wrong with classic black<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

The Wrong Pants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"woman
atdigit\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jeans<\/a> are always a reliable choice, right? Not necessarily. If you\u2019re traveling to a warm and\/or rainy climate, consider alternatives; jeans don\u2019t breathe well and take a long time to dry, making them impractical for many itineraries involving the outdoors. Skinny jeans can be uncomfortably tight on long flights or train rides, while baggy or ripped jeans may look disrespectful if you wear them into churches, mosques, or other holy sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, you\u2019ll probably look similarly out of place by wearing hiking pants<\/a> or sweatpants<\/a> on the streets of large cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear<\/em><\/strong>: Research your destination\u2019s weather and cultural norms before you start packing to make sure your choices will help you fit in and stay comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

The Best Layering Clothes for Travel<\/a><\/p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Religious Imagery, Curse Words, or National Flags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"man
Simia Attentive\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Avoid clothing with sporting, religious, or military symbols, swear words, national flags, and any words or symbols written in a language you cannot translate. There\u2019s no need to unintentionally spark an emotional debate while on vacation or to risk being kicked off a plane for wearing something the airline doesn\u2019t approve of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be wary of hand gestures, both making them and wearing clothing depicting them, because these can have different meanings depending on where you are. (In Bangladesh and other parts of the world, for example, the \u201cthumbs up\u201d gesture is considered obscene.) Since you may never know what certain images suggest in another country, avoid them to keep from offending anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make yourself less of a target, you may also want to leave religious jewelry at home, or wear it under your clothes so it\u2019s not visible to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear: <\/em><\/strong>When in doubt, opt for clothing with solid colors or simple patterns, available from brands such as Ann Taylor<\/a>, Everlane<\/a>, Banana Republic<\/a>, and Uniqlo<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\t

Please, we beg of you, don\u2019t be that<\/em> tourist. While we all want the perfect vacation Instagram<\/a>, we don\u2019t want to be hit in the head by your selfie stick. The same goes for tablet-sized cameras and other large tech accessories. Stick to snapping pics with your phone or an actual camera to avoid injury and inconvenience to those around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And unless you\u2019re a serious photographer, reconsider walking around a busy city with a huge camera hanging around your neck. Not only will you stand out, but you may also be targeted by thieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear<\/em><\/strong>: Between uses, always keep your phone or camera stored safely in a zipped purse, camera bag<\/a>, or pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

Backpacks and large purses tend to be impractical for urban sightseeing\u2014do you really want to lug all that weight around? They\u2019re also appealing targets for thieves, who can easily reach into an unzipped tote or sneak something out of a backpack while you\u2019re wearing it on a busy subway train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear<\/em><\/strong>: Cross-body bags<\/a> are one of the best options for travel, but any bag that fully zips will make you less of a target for thieves. Sling bags<\/a> are another, gender-neutral option.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

Or you thought jeans would be a good idea on the plane, and now they\u2019re cutting off your circulation mid-flight. From discomfort to wrinkles and funky odors, the fabrics you choose can make or break your travel days. Avoid silks, nylon, leather, rubber, and, more generally, clothes made from a non-performance synthetic material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
