1. Dress to impress. When one thinks of the traditional tourist, one sees a pasty middle-aged guy with sun block on his nose, a fanny pack on his waste, and a ridiculous fishing cap on his head. He is wearing shorts and a t-shirt no matter where he is. Don’t be this guy.

When going out in the city, wear something semi-formal or business casual. Examples: button-up shirts, polos, blouses, knee-length skirts, dress shoes or sneakers that match the outfit, slacks, and jeans in good condition.

When going out to a nice restaurant, dress formally.

Remember to take local standards of dress into account....
