Sometimes, even with the right language skills or a demure presence, our clothes alone give us away.

This often results in Americans wearing athletic wear while out and about on vacation, Crum said.

When thinking ofworkout clothes, Crum said one item comes to mind first.

A woman in a striped shirt photographs Big Ben in London, with the Palace of Westminster in the background. Tourists and a red double-decker bus can be seen

Whats one thing not to wear?

Leggings, full stop, Crum stated.

If youre going to run, wear the tracksuit, said Crum.

Clothes have their purpose and athletic wear is for athletics, she stated.

Its more of an elevated, casual approach.

Men are probably the worst dressed Americans … from what Im seeing, Oliver said.

Four men wearing fashionable clothing pose together outdoors. They wear a mix of casual and chic styles, including blazers, shorts, and sunglasses. Unidentified person in background

Or, try a pair ofdenim pants, high heels and a blouse.

Having Perfect Makeup And Hair

Going all out applies to other aspects of Americans presentation as well.

I think were more paying attention to accessories …

A woman poses confidently on a city sidewalk, with one hand resting on her head. She wears a stylish, long-sleeved blouse. Buildings and trees are in the background

This creates a more chic look, Lefevre noted.

When it comes to dressing like the locals in Mexico City, Carrillo said its not that easy.

Its a different culture and energy.

A person stands on a beach wearing a white t-shirt with an American flag design and sunglasses on their head. The ocean and a pier are visible in the background

A lot of [Americans] have style and carry themselves as they would at home, Carrillo said.

She advised visitors to dress how you would at home and embrace Mexico as you would your own country.

Dont be afraid to try out new styles and get inspiration from the world around you.

If you happen to be a fan of American styles, thats OK, too.

you could always blend those looks with other styles to create a unique look.

I think you just have to play with fashion, said Oliver.

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

Find different versions of them that accentuate your look or elevate your look, Crum said.

Then you’re able to layer those really easy.

But its important that you source ideas and inspiration, not an exact look.
