Are converse good shoes to wear when traveling in europe?
Don't worry about it so much. European tourists stick out in the US too. (socks with sandals, shorts everywhere and other quirks) We just don't pick on them about it. Everyone wears converse and jeans in Europe though, both of which are very American. I'd get a dark color as it will wear well. Get insoles too as converse are hard on the feet (no support) and you will be walking a lot seeing the sights.I'd also get some cool black leather flats that go with everything for places that sneakers are not appropriate. Not only Americans wear white sneakers/trainers by the way. You will find a lot of American fashion being worn in most European towns/cities. Just have a good time. Happy trails :)
How to dress like a european?
Well, I have traveled frequently and Europe and I believe this is a myth perpetrated on Americans to make us buy all new clothing when we travel. Here is how it works: Very expensive, well tailored clothing. No sneakers or running, tennis, etc. shoes unless you are doing that activity. At least one gold chain. Pay attention to cut and color, fabric and texture. Jeans are okay, but they should be really good ones - like armani. Have a classic blazer. In most of England and the continent these days people dress as they do here. I see alot of trainers with track suits, even at restaurants. Old Italian professional males, and french as well, still get up and put on a shirt and tie. Watch television news and movies, do you see how the Brits dress, it generally is pretty practical versus fashionable? Unless you are staying on Saveille Row, I would try to affect a classic "casual, but neat" look. An adult preppy feeling. Look at how Harry and WIlliam are attired. It is simple and classic. In France it is a bit different , especially if you are going somewhere fashionable. Men all seem to have this blue, windbreaker that they sport. Loafers and no socks, the knotted sweater, white shirts - button down, Zegna or Canali slacks, black (good quality - like Aboud) tee shirts. But, if you are concerned about this, I am willing to bet you already dress nicely and are well groomed. Two - three weeks before, have a facial with peel. THat week get a manicure (no polish, just a buff). Best of luck.
