I've noticed that tourists, especially from the UK, opt for black T-shirts (in 35C heat!), trekker-style sandals and top of the range shoulder bags: local people don't wear/use these. The shoulder bags in particular are a 'green for go' sign for muggers. Look at what the locals are wearing and follow suit - be invisible. Beach wear: be absolutely minimalist - swim wear & flipflops ONLY.
