That's funny about the jean shorts, every middle aged rural southerner I know wears jean shorts or cutoffs.

Whenever I see a man in jean shorts, they’re almost always European. Also no football jerseys or tight fitted aqua blue polos. Lol


My multimillionaire FIL still wears acid washed Jean shorts from the 80’s. They don’t look like they are from the 80’s - they are literally FROM the 80’s. And he wears them with white socks pulled up to his mid shin. MIL has horrible style too or obviously she would tell him.

I’m born, raised, and still live in Maryland. As much as I like my home state, the flag thing has gotten to be too much for me.

Don’t throw your trash around in National Parks. Not sure of the nationality of the tourists in this post but when I went to Yosemite that’s what stood out to me re the Asian tourists.

When I travel I’m ok with looking “American.” Though I’m not sure what that means, but I know the stereotype. I also know the European “dandy” stereotype. I guess I’m somewhere in the middle.

Oh, yeah, men in speedos—that’s the only really identifiable European thing to me. The Bethesda Y is full of European men in speedos.

No dark socks: white socks only, please.

If the males are wearing bathing suits, no briefs. Just baggy trunks.

Ladies’ suits — not too skinny or revealing.

Looking like Danny from Greece in the summer at the Grand Canyon is not the way to fit in.


Hahahaha. Grease. But still, well done.

This family will be FINE in NY and LA, which are full of foreigners. And at the Grand Canyon everyone is a tourist.

But, I agree with others, in general America is extremely diverse & eclectic. No one cares what you wear. Each geographic area is different anyway. I’m in California, which is different than Chicago which is different from Miami which is different than New England. So they shouldn’t even bother.
