If You’re Wondering If You Dress Like An American Tourist Abroad, These Signs Are A Dead Giveaway


If you happen to be a fan of “American” styles, that’s OK, too. You can always blend those looks with other styles to create a unique look.

“I think you just have to play with fashion,” said Oliver. “And if [you look] in the mirror, and you think you are beautiful … go out like this.”

Fashion is subjective, meaning no one look is going to be a home run for everyone. 

“I really think it’s important that people stay true to their own style, whether it’s casual or it’s elegant, or it’s polished,” stated Crum.

If you know something works on you and makes you feel confident, lean into it… and consider elevating it a little. “Like, if wide-leg denim pants are great on you, wear those … wear them in khaki, wear them in dress pants. Find different versions of them that accentuate your look or elevate your look,” Crum said.

It’s also important to have a collection of basics that fit you well — like white shirts, black shirts, jeans and blazers — to pull from, Crum added. “Then you can layer those really easy.”

You can even find fashion inspiration while traveling, whether you’re out shopping at a vintage store or simply taking in the culture around you. “Look at people in the street, be in a terrace, have a drink in different places and different areas,” Oliver suggested.

“[You] just have to sit there and look around, and you see a lot of style, a lot of people, and maybe it can help you to find the style you like,” Oliver said, adding that she also finds style inspiration this way.

But it’s important that you source ideas and inspiration, not an exact look.

“I know that with my customers, every selection is different because there’s a different body, different sizes, different eye, different occupation … so, you don’t do copy and paste — there’s no point to do that,” Oliver said.
