How come I never see people dressed like that here?

And you know what's amazing about it? Those are not tourists.

This may be a little off topic, but I'm going to Europe in a few months. What should I pack that won't label me as an absolute tourist. I love the outfits on here, but I'm not sure how to pack ALL of the layering and boots. What are the essentials of European style, I guess?

one thing: avoid white sneakers unless you are running or playing tennis. That labels you. My mom told me my Asics look more american than my sisters', and I was using them only for running!
Pumas are great, but I don't know which season/where you are going.
No fanny packs.
No loose hoods and sweatshirts. Fitted ones are good!
No sweatpants. By no means. Even to go to the gim they use bootleg-kind of pants.
Backpacks are ok, but a bag is better. Avoid the llbean kind of canvas totes.

That's all. I am sure you already don't do this stuff, so you'll be more than fine and look fabulous!

Just a few things...

Yes, DEFINATELY NO WHITE SNEAKERS!

But... fanny packs can bee cool if worn ironically. Depends on your style, obviously. (I have an oh-so-sexy sequin one. It's kinda hipster I guess...)

Sadly, we do see swetpants here. It's a strange style some snobs have adopted. Combined with the LV bag of course, and Gucci sunglasses. But yes, of course, a definite no.

agreed on the fanny pack, but it's kinda tricky to pull out...

sweatpants with LV????

luckily I didn't see any in Rome (or in Siena for that matter)

How about white converse or bennison sneakers??? Are they bad too?
