Is it safe for a solo female traveler to dress 'Western' in Turkey?

Yes, it is generally safe. In tourist areas and big cities, dressing in typical Western-style clothing (like jeans and t-shirts) is perfectly normal. However, dressing modestly (covering shoulders and knees) can help you avoid unwanted attention, particularly in less touristy areas. The key is situational awareness. Loose-fitting clothing is often a practical choice for both comfort in the heat and blending in respectfully.
