Answer: There are all sorts of subculture fashion styles, but traditional European dress is somewhat classy and subdued. If you descibe your normal style as classy, I'd stick to this. Neutral and classic colors, fitted/tailored styles, a bit dressy. The US preppy style doesn't really exist over here, it looks very obviously "American", but classy works anywhere.

People wear all sorts of clothes (including the things I'm about to list), but if you aren't familiar with local styles and HOW to wear them, it's best to avoid the following unless you want to look like a tourist:
-white trainers/sneakers
-shorts (and short skirts in Rome)
-khaki
-tshirts/polo-type shirts
-visible brands or large slogans
-baggy clothes

And a tip: Nice boots or comfortable dress shoes are best. Heels are common but if you aren't used to walking on cobblestones, leave them at home. Your feet will make you miserable by the end of the trip.

I don't know what your dresses look like, but I wear a dress pretty much everyday, wherever I'm going. I love her blog for dress fashion:

The Sartorialist has great examples of classy European street fashion, be sure to look through the archived months:

In my experience, American spend a lot more time on their hair than Europeans. Long and a bit wavy is good, or loosely fastened up. Look at the above links for ideas.

Hope this helps

I've ordered from there before. It's mostly lolita clothing. But it's a good price and they often have sales. Right now they're shipping anywhere for a flat rate of $20 which is good because their shipping can get high. The quality is really good too. If you have any questions about it feel free to send me a message. I've searched high and low and this by far is the best place out there.
It's cool to see other people are into the style too!
