Ricky . . .

. . . Bobby

"Though Rick does a fantastic job of talking about this subject," No. He doesn't. Not at all.
"We know not to bring shorts at all (though we are going in May)." Europeans generally don't wear shorts as casually as Americans, but if it's hot you'll see plenty of people in shorts. Not people going to and from their jobs, but all the visitors and people enjoying their leisure time, European or not. This is one of the those outdated stereotypes that somehow refuses to die, along with the French not using deodorant or European women not shaving their armpits. All that being said, depending on where you visit, it may not be warm enough for shorts anyway. . . .

. . . even if you somehow did get the cut and style completely right, your body language and travel accessories will instantly peg you as a tourist to anyone who's paying attention.
