What is the best way to dress while seeing Florence, Italy? |
Can someone give me some guidelines? I'm not traveling with a tour group, just one other person. I understand that locals don't usually wear sneakers, so that's a sign that you're a tourist. What other things should I know? Should I wear jeans for trekking the sights? Khakis? I'll know to keep camera hidden, but what other things should I know to not identify myself as a tourist? Thanks!

PS - The reason I ask this is to avoid being the target of pickpockets -- I just want to blend in. |

When in Florence, while it's "ok" to dress "US Casual", you will definitely feel like a tourist if you do. Everyone in Forence, Rome, etc. dresses well. Keep your personal belongings close to your body (wallet, cash, electronic equipment, etc.) I was in Rome just after Thanksgiving last year and heard of a woman (in our travel group) who was pickpocketed on the subway- the thief went into her handbag, removed a change purse containing cash, replaced the purse in her handbag and made off at the next stop. She didn't realize it until she went to make a purchase and saw that her cash was gone!
Don't worry about not identifying yourself as a tourist. I think it's more important to be respectful to your fellow travelers and the locals. Try to use the language as best you can- don't be ignorant and speak only english. That will set you apart as a tourist. If you're not sure how to say something in italian, ask.

i'm italian. if you leave soon in florence now is really hot. if you're not too tanned people will understand you're not italian. you should wear a t-shirt, shorts and a pair of slippers (you should buy them in florence). don't go sightseeing with a rucksack. by the night wear a pair of jeans and a shirt or a dress. i don't advice you to go trekking with jeans... it's very unconfortable, wear a skirt because it's very hot now.
if you leave during the next month wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. the secret is to wear simple clothes. bye |

uh i think no matter how you dress you'll still look like a foreigner. Besides your attitude will most likely give things away. But its hot in florence. So maybe you should wear dresses or either shorts. |

You'd wear a pair of jeans and a normal shirt. If you don't like sneakers you'd wear a pair of sandals! |
