[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in London for three years, recently.

OP, yes, some people wear leggings in public.  Some people wear track suits in public, as a kind of perpetual uniform, actually.

In fact, google "scrunch bum" leggings.  This is something you can actually see on the streets in the UK.  It's kind of chavvy, but also popular enough that you see it outside of the gym.

I also lived in Germany, and German women are either starkly crisp and put together OR dressed in crunchy, comfy clothes, like Birkenstocks (yes, that really is a German thing), jeans, baggy linen dresses, and athleisureware.  Really.

These people claiming that Europeans always dress impeccably have never lived in Europe.  They are talking about the tiny, currated Disney-land-esque tourist area they visited a few times to make themselves feel sophisticated.

Agree. Plus being a tourist requires quite a bit of walking and being outdoors, like a workout. Why should people dress like the locals who are going to work when they have a completely different day planned? [/quote]
