The Big Sneak- Preparation

How to look inconspicuous in a hotel?
thebigsneak
#1
Casual.
Unnoticable in a usual public space, not memorable. However, in thehotel environment will I be noticed and look out of place? Possibly too casual and therefore could arouse suspicion. Benefits: Comfort, movement; if I need to move fast or hide in a small space, this ensemble makes that possible.
#2
Smart-casual.
Possibly working a job with no strict dress-code, but smart enough. Staying at hotel for conference/meeting? An unusual outfit though, and might be too memorable. Benefits: potentially mistakable for business-person.
#3
Semi-formal.
Could be going to a party or a function, which would give me reason for staying in the hotel. Unusual dress, however easy to make up lies about my presence in the hotel. Cons: Does not allow for easy movement, quite memorable. Moderately expensive.
#4
Smart-slob.
Possibly less noticeable than smart-casual, and easy to move around in. Neutral colours, more likely to 'blend in', and move about unnoticed. Benefits: Comfortable, probably suits my demeanor more than the others. A good choice.
#5
Super-slob.
Just rolled out of bed and looking for breakfast. Very very very casual. Pros: Very easy to pretend that I'm staying in the hotel. Cons: Very very noticeable, especially in the plush surroundings. Might raise suspicion, and if I'm questioned about where/why I'm staying I'll need a darn good lie.

What does everyone else think?

    I think 3 and 4 are to memorable, you would stand out in them. I prefer 1,2 and 4. I think either of these would do but for me the best blending into the background outfit would be numero quatro and for a more businessy feel and mix of blend its no.2. What personna would you like to believe in?
    Right I am off to change!

  2. Thanks Didge;
    I was leaning towards 4 as well? It's comfortable, but like you said also businessy, which I think might be appropriate. a Bit slobbish maybe, but I could smarten it up a little with that scarf?
    I think I can believe in persona number 4. Now what to do with my hair? That is DEFINITELY memorable! Cut it off??
