Americans are great people and I'm proud to call myself one eighty to ninety percent of the time. But I'm not sure I've ever been flattered to be recognized as one. I know, I'm a commie.
But we really dress like shit, especially when we're abroad. Fanny packs, white sneakers, "Everyone got a bottle of water?" You can see, and hear, us coming a mile away.
Conde Nast Traveler has tried to help. Before your next trip abroad, have a look at Conde Nast's Etiquette 101: Dress Codes. Posted last fall, it's a five page do-and-don't guide to going native in just about every region of the world you'd ever hope to find yourself in.
