<\/span><\/h2>\nThe first category is full-body athletic\u00a0wear, which includes gym attire, athletic sneakers, Nikes with laces, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and anything else that screams gym. All of these things should be avoided whilst on vacation.<\/p>\n
We tend to be extremely casual in the United States, and there is definitely a time and a place for that. Even with the advent of the athleisure trend, you’ll have a hard time finding folks who are dressed head to toe in it while traveling.<\/p>\n
One of the key reasons is that it’s difficult to move from sightseeing to dinner in that look.<\/p>\n
You want to be able to visit as many places as possible while on vacation, so dressing up slightly at the start of the day allows you to more easily transition that look into the evening.<\/p>\n
Depending on the season, swap your sweatshirts with a fitting, classic sweater made of cotton-wool or cashmere. Wear a great pair of slim pants with belt loops instead of yoga pants. Belts are one of my favorite things since they quickly spice up any outfit.<\/p>\n
Swap off your typical tennis shoes with a slip-on sneaker or a city sneaker. Something along those lines will be really comfortable and easy to wear while also not making you look like you’re going to the gym.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Baseball Caps<\/span><\/h2>\nIn a similar vein, baseball caps, particularly ones featuring American teams, are usually a dead giveaway that you are a tourist.<\/p>\n
Try to swap that and leave it at home as a general rule.<\/p>\n
If you want to protect your head and cover your eyes, go for a more traditional hat style.<\/p>\n
It’s just a nice, very easy swap to make that will help you fit in a little bit better.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Backpacks<\/span><\/h2>\nBackpacks are really easy to travel with. Because they’re hands-free, they’re really comfortable, and carrying something on your back is much easier than carrying something on your arm, for example.<\/p>\n
However, when traveling, especially in a densely populated area, you should avoid using a backpack because it’s easy to slide in and out of, making you vulnerable to pickpocketing.<\/p>\n
A cross-body bag is a better option. It is my personal favorite since I can wear it hands-free, but I can also swing it around to the front of my body so that I can keep my hands on it and protect it.<\/p>\n
It’s absolutely something worth putting into practice in all of the major cities, and then just traveling in general. It’s a lot less difficult.<\/p>\n
You can also get in faster and grab whatever you need, such as a passport or money.<\/p>\n
It’s simply a better way to transport your most valuable possessions, which you can’t afford to lose, especially when on vacation.<\/p>\n
