Kat is trying to pick a fight!
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's to fight about? You people are short.

Jesse, I just emailed my friend who went to Turkey a couple of years ago to see what she did for clothing.

Look! She's shaking her tiny fists of rage!
If I really wanted to pick a fight I'd mentiond the deliciousness of cilantro.

Also, can you bring me back some rugs and pottery?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, I'll have to get some pants then. Man, I hate buying pants!
I bought a bunch of lightweight pants/longsleeved shirts for Thailand, because the culture is very modest there. If you look at North Face, REI, Sierra Trading Post, etc., it shouldn't be too difficult. I liked my North Face cargo pants [link] -- lightweight and fast-drying, zip-off pant legs, and ties at the shin to make it easier to roll up. Perfect for white-water rafting, hiking, etc. Also got pants from REI and Ex Officio. Ex Officio pants did not fit quite stylishly but they make good lightweight, quick-drying longsleeved shirts & underwear. (We only carried carry-on sized bags for the three-week trip.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jesse, how do you feel about thrift store clothing?
Zipoffs are another good option.

Thanks, bon. I don't really wear shorts, so wouldn't get those exact ones, but I hadn't thought of that kind of store.

information libertarian
In some churches in Greece women in pants are not allowed. In most of these places, IME, there are rent-a-skirts available (often in fact free, not for rent). Very loose elastic waist skirts you can put on over your pants or whatever. I can't recall any mosques in Turkey where clothing was an issue, but I was in Turkey in March, so never scantily clad. You do have to take your shoes off; no holey socks!
Basically, anyplace that sees regular tourists will either be pretty lax, or have a ready-made solution to the clothing issue, in my experience in both Greece and Turkey. Very entrepreneurial countries, you know.
