[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Def dresses not shorts [/quote]

Really? No shorts at all? I have some cute “nicer” shorts with a paper bag sort of top that look very put together. Would a pair of those be ok to mix it up?[/quote]

Italians really don't wear shorts.[/quote]

She’s not Italian. [/quote]

Yeah, but I would hate to scream 'TOURIST' with my stupid looking shorts on a European vacation.

I pride myself on the fact that tourists often stop me and ask if I speak English, and for directions.  People usually think I'm a local whenever I'm over there.[/quote]LOL. People just want to know if you’re an English speaking tourist. They know you’re a tourist.[/quote]

When they ask if I'm Italian or Spanish and address me in those languages...it always freaks them out when my blonde, fair husband leans in and speaks fluently with them (he speaks 4 languages fluently).

I'm olive skin, blue eye, dark hair with a roman nose.  I confuse a lot of people in Europe.  And my style has always been minimalist and sleek.  I never wear shorts in Europe.  I also like to go to the 'non-tourist' restaurants, more local places. I tend to stay longer in one place.

But, who cares.  I'm just telling you shorts and big sneakers look silly unless you are in a big tour group with a bunch of other tourists with fanny packs front-facing.[/quote]

So, oh sartorial genius, what should op pack for HER trip?[/quote]

For 7 pages people who have been in Italy have said -wear dresses. It’s not that hard to figure out. [/quote]
