[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is a travel question or a fashion question...

My European family is coming to the US on vacation this summer. They are really worried about "fitting in" style-wise. 
I have explained to them that it really, truly doesn't matter what they wear in the States. But they are convinced if they look like foreign tourists, they will get pickpocketed, overcharged in lyfts, etc. Also they are quite proud of their English skills and think if they look "foreign" everyone will try to speak to them in their native language. They don't mind looking like tourists but they want to look like American tourists, if that makes sense.

Any advice for how foreign tourists can "blend in" to American fashion? [/quote]

Tell them pickpocketing is much worse In Europe than it is here.[/quote]

Also- how many Americans know the language your relatives speak? Unless they are from Spain I wouldn't worry. [/quote]

Pickpocketing is worse in Europe but it’s not common here. I’m curious why would it be worse if the family is from Spain?
