[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.

[b]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. [/b]

God, thank you.  I lived in Europe recently too and you are so right.  People wear all the same things Americans wear.  There is a poster here who insists European women wouldn't be caught dead unless they were wearing "slacks (her word), a cashmere sweater, Chanel ballet flats, and an Hermes scarf."  It's so comical, every time she scolds other DCUMers who say they simply wore normal clothes while in Europe.  Sneakers, jeans, jackets, boots, whatever.  In the summer, plenty of people wear shorts and sandals.  No different than here in the U.S.[/quote]
