LONDON (AFP) – British people are the worst-dressed holidaymakers in Europe followed by Germans, while the Italians and French are the smartest, according to a survey and released on June 4, 2010 by TripAdvisor. The findings came despite 36 percent of Britons -- who are famed for fashion blunders like wearing socks with sandals -- admitting that they dress more adventurously than usual while on a break.
The survey also looked at how good people from different countries are at switching off from the pressures of work while taking a break. A massive 87 percent of travellers from France said they checked their work emails while on holiday compared to over a quarter of Britons. That figure is despite France's reputation as a less workaholic country than Britain.
The survey by travel website TripAdvisor quizzed 2,717 European travellers in May 2010.
76% of Brits plan to take a summer vacation this year. It's just a shame that they're doing so in such horrible outfits.
