| I'm an American who recently moved to Brussels. Before that, I had never been to Europe earlier. Information technology's truthful -- Europeans do dress nicer than Americans on average, but it's not as extreme as some may remember. At commencement, the differences were noticeable. Europeans don't run around in suits and ties all day, simply they don't run effectually in muddy jeans and sneakers either. If the typical outfit for an American human being on the weekend is jeans and a t-shirt, the typical outfit for a Belgian is jeans, casual but collared shirt with a sweater over it. (I've only been here during the fall, then they probably dress differently in the warmer months.) In that location are men running around in jeans, t-shirts and sweat shirts and the like, but they are usually under 25. Men over 30 wear collared shirts. It's also non uncommon (but not obligatory) for men to wear blazers on the weekends. I would pretty much never wear a blazer in the U.s. on a routine Sabbatum outing -- fifty-fifty in NYC or Chicago -- considering I'd stick out or transport the wrong message ... that I was a snob. Last night, I wore a blazer to the movies. I fit correct in. Some were dressed casually and would fit in to the United states, but one guy had a suit on with a turtle neck sweater underneath. Afterwards being here for two months, the differences aren't quite every bit stark. It's non like we're total slobs in the US and they're mode models over hither. There'due south just a few tweaks. As everyone knows, the wearing apparel are more tailored here. I grew up wearing big, boxy all American apparel. Whatever -- every bit a good American (like a practiced Brit besides), I don't think about fashion also much .. non manly, right? I only can't clothing my typical wearing apparel. I'd look very bizarre -- like I was wearing my dad'due south wearing apparel. It'southward true -- men, just like women, expect trimmer and overall meliorate when they were clothes that fit them and don't hang on them. Then there's that. The other difference is shoes. Shoes here are cleaner and nicer. Dirty sneakers? No go. You don't have to habiliment leather shoes (although many do ... even on the weekends), merely your shoes need to be clean and well cared for. And that'southward my last point .. whether dressy or casual, Europeans have better care of their clothes. They're clean and pressed. That's probably considering they pay so much more for them. I can get a Hugo Boss slim cutting dress shirt in the United states of america -- exact same shirt in quality equally what you'd find here -- for about $twoscore if I wait for a sale or become to an outlet ... doesn't take much endeavor at all. In Brussels, the same shirt cost 110 Euro... no matter where you go, you're paying 110 Euro .. with the substitution charge per unit, that's about $150. Past law, there are merely ii times a year you can exercise sales here .. Jan and July ... so if you lot're waiting for the half off, and then thirty percent of the half of sale that comes forth every two weeks or so in the United states of america, no dice. Information technology'south non going to happen. You know those ridiculous price tags in the U.s.a. that no 1 pays attending to and laughs at considering who in their right mind pays total retail cost in the US? Well, in Europe, that tag is the real price .. information technology's what you're going to pay if you want the detail. No wonder they have better care of their dress. That Hugo Boss shirt I bought is taken off immediately when I get abode from the office and hung -- it's done gently and lightly ironed. The other shirts I have, which I paid a lot less for, are getting the same treatment.. because, homo, it's going to break the banking company to replace them. Final indicate -- they're not all fitness models here, but yeah .. obesity of the American kind (l plus pounds) is pretty much unheard of. A chubby guy is carrying around 10 to 20 extra pounds .. in the US, the same guy would falsely think he's an athlete. They eat rich food here, they only don't inhale it. Their portions for desserts are smaller than our kid sizes. I recently learned it'south considered a bit rude to take a SECOND piece of cheese from a platter. Second? lol ... an American with a cheese platter in front of him is only getting warmed up with the third piece, right? And then yeah, they expect better considering they take amend care of themselves. Last edited by WestCobb; xi-22-2014 at 04:48 AM.. |

. 2 things i noticed was that his boxer-draws was role of his outfit (they were a sports team and the colors matched his outfit/shoes 
fashion?) and second those werent baggy pants they were more "skinny jeans" peeople have evidently mastered the art of sagging skinny jeans

Trust me - I don't judge you at all for your attitude towards wearing apparel and style. For the nearly part, I share information technology. Europeans don't habiliment skinny jeans though - they're simply more tailored looking. Loose and comfortable in the US looks sloppy hither. |

In that location's also a button that will add an image. Just search around. |

After being hither for two months, the differences aren't quite as stark. It's not like we're full slobs in the US and they're manner models over here. There'south just a few tweaks. As everyone knows, the dress are more tailored hither. I grew up wearing big, indigestible all American clothes. Any -- as a proficient American (like a proficient Brit too), I don't call up about fashion too much .. not manly, right? I only can't wear my typical clothes. I'd look very baroque -- like I was wearing my dad's clothes. It'southward truthful -- men, simply similar women, wait trimmer and overall better when they were dress that fit them and don't hang on them. Then there's that. The other difference is shoes.

That'southward probably because they pay then much more for them. I can get a Hugo Boss slim cutting dress shirt in the US -- exact aforementioned shirt in quality as what yous'd find here -- for almost $xl if I wait for a sale or get to an outlet ... doesn't have much endeavour at all. In Brussels, the same shirt toll 110 Euro... no thing where you go, you're paying 110 Euro .. with the exchange rate, that's almost $150. By law, there are merely two times a year yous can do sales here .. January and July ... so if you lot're waiting for the half off, and and then 30 percent of the one-half of auction that comes along every two weeks or then in the United states of america, no dice. It's non going to happen. You know those ridiculous cost tags in the Usa that no i pays attention to and laughs at because who in their right mind pays full retail price in the Us? Well, in Europe, that tag is the real price .. it's what you're going to pay if you desire the detail. No wonder they have better care of their clothes. That Hugo Dominate shirt I bought is taken off immediately when I get home from the office and hung -- it's done gently and lightly ironed. The other shirts I have, which I paid a lot less for, are getting the same handling.. because, man, it's going to break the bank to supervene upon them. Terminal point -- they're not all fettle models here, but yeah .. obesity of the American kind (50 plus pounds) is pretty much unheard of. A chubby guy is carrying effectually x to twenty extra pounds .. in the U.s.a., the same guy would falsely think he's an athlete. They swallow rich food here, they just don't inhale it. Their portions for desserts are smaller than our child sizes. I recently learned it's considered a scrap rude to take a SECOND piece of cheese from a platter. Second? lol ... an American with a cheese platter in front end of him is only getting warmed up with the 3rd slice, right? And so yeah, they expect improve considering they accept better care of themselves. Groovy post ^^^. My husband is from the midwest only grew up in Belgium. He would agree 100% with all you said. And that is the point - it'due south not they are manner models, they clothing well-fitting clothes that are clean and taken intendance of, and no i is obese. We have friends from Kingdom of belgium/France who spend half the year down here in FL and they scout their weight similar hawks. And while they don't apparel similar style models, their clothes are ever very nice, well-fitted and pressed. The guy may clothing coincidental shorts, simply he will have a nice sport shirt fitted and tucked in. Information technology is small differences, like yous said. And for sure, so truthful on the eating - what these people eat in a whole day would not fifty-fifty be 1 meal hither. And fifty-fifty though they are "senior citizens" they walk several miles per 24-hour interval. Americans could learn a thing or two. |

| Really in almost of the globe people apparel nicer than we do in the United states and particularly parts of Europe. In many places, men dress to the level they can afford, for American men, it´south just not a high priorit. In fact, yous will be ostracized and fabricated fun of past other American men if you overdress. Even some women consider men beingness overly meticulous with their dress equally gay. I volition say, men volition dress to the level they think they need to be to concenter the right women. Lastly, I retrieve the sloppy dress in the U.s. is likewise a byproduct of the lx´s attack on formalism and pretention. It will and I think already has started irresolute to more formal in time. I find that when I do dress up, I go complimented. |

It will and I recollect already has started irresolute to more formal in time. I discover that when I do dress up, I get complimented. Information technology always amazes me seeing pictures from back then and before. People dressed up. Family vacation? Men in suits with hats. Women in dresses. Fifty-fifty the kids. Hats were everywhere. Not baseball caps. |

Merely nobody wore dresses merely hanging around the house or on the embankment, or going grocery shopping in a vacation town. |
