What to wear / how to look the least like a tourist in Brazil
You know that trend people are doing where they’re like “I’m racially ambiguous so I blend in everywhere” and then they post videos of them visiting a bunch of countries where they may or may not blend in with the locals? I’m the least racially ambiguous person ever. Growing up people would ask me what northern eurpoean country I was visiting from all the time. I’m very blond, with blue eyes and pale skin. I look like a tourist everywhere. This is mostly fine, except that I am starting to travel more and I am struggling to dress enough like locals to blend in.
I’ll be visiting Brazil in two weeks with my partner, we will be visiting his family, staying at their home, and in hotels. They planned a few destinations for us to go including rio, iguazu falls, the christ the redeemer statue, etc. They keep giving me very mixed answers on what to wear going out and what I should bring. My partner hasn’t been back to Brazil in 5 years and dresses like a Big Bang Theory character lol, so he’s not the best resource. I need help! As someone who looks like a tourist everywhere I go, I need to know what clothes are practical, what to avoid, and what the locals might be wearing. If anyone has pictures of what they wear or other people wear that would be most helpful.
I’ve heard locals in Brazil tend to dress down, and things like hoodies, t shirts, denim shorts, cotton, linen, sandals are best.
On average I typically wear flared leggings, sweaters, pink vans shoes, ribbons tied into braids 🎀, lots of pastel colors, and tote bags. Some of my favourite clothes are my pink jeans, tank tops, colorful sweaters, halter neck tanks, biker shorts, and flowy skirts.
Clothes I’m thinking about bringing include baggy hoodies with biker shorts, pink jeans with a brown tank top, a generic t shirt with denim shorts, a big flowy skirt with a tank top, and a linen sweater.
Are these ok or too out there?
