Sometimes when people go on trips abroad, they aren't aware of the customs and common courtesies in other countries including what to wear.

In a recent video on TikTok, one woman revealed that she wasn't allowed into several historical and cultural sites in Rome because of what she was wearing.

In the 46-second clip, Jacki, who is known as jetsetting_jacki, posted a video explaining all about her fashion faux pas.

Jacki showed users a picture of the dress that got her banned from entertaining places in Rome.

Over the picture, Jacki explained the ins and outs of her mistake.

She said: "Ok, so anyone planning to wear cute s*** like this in Europe should listen up.

"Because while it looks f****** great in photos, on this day in Rome, I couldn't get into the Pantheon, the Vatican, or the Museum of the Dead because this dress was too s*****. "

For users who weren't aware, Jacki explained the clothing requirements of some Italian attractions.

She added: "You can't have your shoulders out, you can't have your boobs out, and you definitely can't have cutouts. Also, my dress was backless.

"Annoyingly, I didn't bring a scarf or a jacket or anything to cover myself up and you would've been fine if you do want to pack something like that."

"But in the Museum of Dead, you always had to have your knees covered, so you need to be aware of that and pack things that will cover your knees."

Because she'd already visited several monuments, she has happy to wait outside the buildings for her friends.

The TikTok video has had more than one and a half million views with thousands of people sharing their thoughts in the comments.

One person wrote: "I would never have thought of this, thank you!"

But many people thought the clothing rules that Jacki described were common knowledge.

Someone said: "I'm still shocked that people on the internet don't know these things."

Another person added: "I feel like people refuse to do research before going places.I’ve been to Rome, and the first thing I read was about dresses that were appropriate for churches."

While a third person wrote: "It's pretty common with a lot of religious buildings."

Other places in Italy have recently introduced stricter dress codes that could see holidaymakers fined as much as £425.

The mayor of Sorrento in Italy said that wearing swimwear in public, as well as being topless, was part of 'widespread indecorous behaviour'.

Meanwhile, other holiday spots in Italy have imposed similar rules.
