The main places that Americans fall short on style compared to even middle class and many working class people in other countries (including much of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, large cities in Africa, Australia, South America, etc.) are:

(1) Shoes. Americans wear such unfashionable and poor quality shoes. I feel this has gotten better in recent years as fashion has turned to more casual, comfortable styles and have met Americans halfway. But for many years, you could pick out an American tourist in a heartbeat, even one who was UMC and decently dressed otherwise, thanks to their cheap, terrible shoes. The number of cheap flip flops I saw on lovely college-age and 20-something men and women over the last two decades. Shudder. Buy an actual pair of shoes please.

(2) Outerwear. So much fleece and nylon. Ugly windbreakers. Just hideous. What is wrong with a classic wool coat or a cotton chore coat or a good quality rain coat? You can buy these things without spending a fortune. I understand the allure of technical fabrics but you don't have to wear them all the time. Natural fibers can be very durable and comfortable. If you aren't mountain climbing or going skiing, you don't need to dressed like you are.

(3)Hair and makeup. The young people are doing better with this now as they have recognized that natural skin, even with visible imperfections, is usually more pleasurable to look at. Though this is counterbalanced by the rise of those social media influencers and their airbrushed skin. But at least we are not seeing quite as much heavy eye makeup and caked on foundation as a decade or two ago. And the young folks in the US seem to have also embraced more natural hair. I hope it sticks. So many middle aged women with helmet bobs, like an army of newscasters only they are marketing managers and SAHMs. Why are Americans always trying to make their hair look like wigs? Just get a good cut that works with natural haircut, keep it trimmed every 6 months or so (more frequently if you wear it shorter) and don't style and fuss with it so much. It's too much.

I love that! Completly true. Or like bird's nests?

Just look at any of the airports, nothing but sweats and leggings. Or very ill fitting jeans. Sweat shirts on top. What can you do but hire a French or an Italian stylist if you can afford one. So, don't sweat it, even the richest among you have no idea what class and style is.

LOL you sound stupid.

Touched a nerve?

NP. You want PP to troll better than you? Is that your request?

Also, completely agree…bargain basement trolling. Embarrassing.

OP, this might be a "you" problem.

Must be. Chicago, Denver, Duller, DCA, BWI. All Peasant cities, you say?

Ahhh. Then the problem is your glasses.

You can fix this, OP. I believe in you.

Perhaps OP can get some ideas from the sandals' thread?

I am going skiing in aspen. What the heck am I going to do with that get up. No thanks.

You will be skiing at the airport?

Lol. I need to have a special airport outfit for a ski trip? If that is "classy" than classy is stupid.

Ah, lack of common sense too? Special outfit for airport for ski trip? Your reading comprehension is impaired? You were the one that suggested you needed a special skiing outfit to fly to Aspen. OP clearly responded with logic, that you do not need a special outfit to fly to Aspen.
