...Italy? I'm from England and I've been to both France and Italy, and in both countries, I've worn either a skirt that's a little above the kneee (with tights, mind!) and a pair of above the kneee (but not drastically so) denim shorts in the summer when it was hot. - I got A LOT and i mean a lot of attention from guys - whistling, pointing, shouting (thankfully I didn't understand most of it, although I look very mediterranean and they thought I was a native). But its it considered slutty to wear this kind of thing in these countries? I don't want to make such a faux pas again, if so. Also, anything else I should monitor in terms of english/ mediterranean differences, in clothes or toherwise? Many thanks :) (Merci/Gracias/Grazi ;) x
thanks to all the people that have answered so far - also, how can i blend in in these countries? going to be studying languages at university :) and travelling!
