To avoid offending the locals, choose clothing in keeping with their customs.

Forget about light summer wear

Skirts, shorts, low necklines, or skimpy, short or tight-fitting outfits are to be avoided when visiting villages in Morocco. Such clothing could embarrass the locals and be taken as a sign of disrespect.

At beaches in Turkey, do not strip off completely or go topless. Such practices are strictly forbidden.

In the south of Europe, particularly in Italy, you should cover your shoulders and legs as much as possible before entering a church.

Off with your shoes

In Thailand, if you see footwear left at the door of a house, a temple or a place of business, then you should do likewise: take off your shoes before entering the premises.
