Okay, I've been asked this question a bunch and I think it would be fun to dedicate an entire post to it. So here goes:
Before leaving the states I was told that the people here in Europe are very fashionable and look nice everyday. That is a statement that is up for interpretation, because my idea of looking nice is different from the next persons.
People here dress similar to those in the states. Some looking quite nice and standing out from those who don't. A big style thing over here that I have to get use to, is that girls wear their pants with their underwear showing, like the guys in the states do. Quite a large change from the girls in the states who see how low they can wear their pants without showing their underwear.
Clashing colors and patterns is a big do. Not for everyone, but a large group of people wear a color patterned sweatshirt with a patterned scarf. It just doesn't go!!!
The most popular thing here is matching colors. And I'm not talking about multiple colors, I'm talking about wearing an outfit consisting all of one color. This is not something I enjoy doing, so when I wear a plain t-shirt with many different colors surrounding it, I stand out just a bit.
I don't really have anything else to say on this subject, because to tell you the truth its nothing exciting.
Quite a boring post :(
I beg to differ my dear on the boring post. I feel sorry for the girls showing their underwear, since we all think that guys here in the States look SO uncool with their drawers hanging out. Keep the information coming since we are sponges back home
ReplyDeleteNot boring at all! This was fabulous! I'd love some pictures (especially those outfits of all one color) and of course blur the face to protect the innocent.
