Revealing tops are fine. Your outfit should look dressier than just jeans and a tank top-not fancy, but classier, like you put though into it. Also, the most revealing thing is accessories-shoes and bags, purses. Italians never wear ugly, bulky tennis shoes or flip flops (unless they're on the beach) and usually know from the moment they see an American by their shoes, badly coiffed hair, and tacky bags. Some brands in the US for shoes that pass for Italian are puma, and squared. Polo is very popular as well, for clothing.

This is only for women (although the don't-wears apply to men too).

What Not to Wear:

Short shorts or athletic shorts
Hooded sweatshirts
Sweatpants
Anything with a stars-and-strips motif
Flip flops

What to Wear:

Dressy, tailored clothes
Bermuda shorts with dress shoes
Embellished flat sandals
Skirts and sundresses
Huge sunglasses (ideally with black or tortoise frames)

vesti il meno possibile... fara' un caldo incredibile ma evita colori troppo vivaci e pantaloni corti, strani cappelli, gli italiani non mettono cappelli. compra un paio d'occhiali da sole e portali anche di notte. quello che ti metti deve essere attillato e gel su i capelli e' indicato. buona fortuna ciao ciao

jeans, t-shirt (no written on it) sun glasses......and show you are sending sms all the time!

Avoid white athletic shoes and levi style jeans. Avoid fanny packs. Avoid consulting a map in public. Avoid US sports labels. Be nice to everyone and don't 'expect' them to speak English.

Whatever you do, don't wear an Italy sucks shirt. 0-

Don't wear shorts, wear capris or long pants. Really revealing tops will get you some interesting stares from the locals.

First of all...why would you avoid to look like an American? Are you or are you not an American ? And if you are...what is wrong to look like one ? Do you know that the Italian boys admire the Americans girls ???
The Italian girls ( i mean the young ) imitate our teenagers
in clothing...and use as many English words they can master...Anything AMERICAN works just fine in Italy.. Music, singers, movies,hamburgers and coca cola...So,if you do not wish to look American....then dress like one and you will notice that you look like one of them....same jeans....same tops but different sandals...unless you like those very high hills and walk bending your knees...I know, I am Italian/American and I I go see my family there every other year.
