In the wise words of "What Not To Wear" hosts, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, there are just some things you shouldn't wear.

While this rings true for any point in life, this rule also applies to any point on a map. Attention is for the attractions, not for tourists. Which means there are staple clothing items that are indicative to American tourists. While the dress code may change to whichever country you may travel to, there are some European do's and don'ts of fashion.

One of the dead giveaways is showing too much skin. Often times in Europe, there are churches, basilicas and even museums that may make you cover up before going in, as a sign of respect. But even in non-religious settings, you'll notice that booty shorts and deep-V tops aren't really the style. Instead, most Europeans like to layer up with tanks and cardigans or jackets.

Spring has sprung and so has the color wheel, right? Wrong. Well, at least in Europe. It's mostly neutral colors all year round for Europeans. You'll see a splash of color here and there to liven up an outfit, but put your pastels on hold for your trip.

Flip flops are a "maybe not." First and foremost, Europeans walk or bike everywhere, so flip-flops might not be the best walking-shoe choice. You'll want something comfortable that you can spend the whole day in unless you plan on having time for an outfit change. Instead, look for fashionable sandals. Something with straps around the back and a little arch support.

Apparently, baseball caps aren't in? But I say screw it. Bad hair days and no-makeup days overrule any European dress code.

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. Need I say more? Your jeans and a tank won't cut it. Hats, scarves, belts, and jewelry are highly recommended to spice up your wardrobe, and well as tone down your American-ness.

Satchels are always a good thing to have. Most of you probably already have one sitting at home, and I highly suggest you bring one or go get one. And I put an emphasis on satchel because these usually have zipper pockets and go across your body. These attributes make it harder for pickpockets to get your goods, and a cute bag will also accessorize your outfit.

You should also try to avoid any big labels. Labels on your chest might as well be a target on your back. Small symbols and wording are OK, but huge pictograms and phrases often out you as a tourist. Many Europeans go with neutral colors as well as neutral (or unseen) clothing brands.

One last thing is NEVER "bum it." I'm not even sure if they have a wording for bumming it in all of the European languages. It's just unheard of. So unless you're moseying around your hotel/Air BnB, I suggest leaving your sweats in your suitcase, or better yet, at home.

So, safe travels, and arrivederci!
