I thought that I would share with you this article from the WSJ
When Mr. James is checking into a hotel, he always makes sure he's nicely dressed. Typically he'll show up in a suit or slacks and a jacket. "If you look the part, you'll tend to get looked after a little bit better," he says.
I tend to agree with this advice as I've found from many years of travelling. Certainly the better I am dressed, the better I am treated. So for me no shorts, t-shirts or flip flops for travel attire.
This summer I can't get my act together for a trip to the south of France but the gorgeous (and talented in a DIY way) Tabitha has posted about her swanky sojourn at the Eden Roc, Hotel du Cap and more.
Check out her Bourbon and Pearls blog.
And as for travel attire, do not miss James Andrew's posts about his recent trip through Italy. I particularly love what he wore to La Sireneuse. He must get incredible service. But I wonder, with all his fabulous clothes, how many suitcases does he travel with. Check out his What is James Wearing blog.
What do you wear when you travel and do you think that it makes any difference at all in how you are treated?
