How Do People Dress in your Area? - Topic of the day 5/18/24
What trends do you notice where you live? Are people more casual? More formal? Any particular regional trends? Could you think of why that is?

It's NYC so I think my answer is: "Better than I do."
poorly (Boston)
really though some of the college kids dress well so I do see some good fits, but overall its not great.
Im living in germany
what can I say
yeah, thats about it
same; I think it‘s quite difficult answering this question but I‘m absolutely convinced that middle aged germans dress the worst of all different generations
there‘s simply no thought whatsoever put into whatever they are wearing
Yeah, definitely much younger ppl!
That reminds me
I wanted to get some of these with rainbow stripes
I live in the burbs of a southern mid-size city. Definitely don’t see much of what people wear here.
Imagine a lot of this

I'd say most below 30s dress okay, even if they aren't in college atm

not from new york but the sentiment remains
Liverpool is fucking weird.
North face Nupstes and shorts/slides (must be Adidas) in the summer.
White socks are illegal, as are wallets.
Montirex everywhere, yet basically unknown to the rest of the UK.
Air Max 95 basically the patron saint of the city, yet somehow On Running took a massive foothold recently.
There's this hyper local sportswear look with a bunch of unwritten rules, mingled with a load of never left the 90s and it came around again styles.
Definitely the most trainer obsessed city in the UK
there’s so much arc’teryx i often have to stop and stare. lot of nike athleisure, mauritius leather, boho chic on the ladies, fur/faux fur coats (ladies), basic t-shirt and cargos fits…
the single most well-dressed guy i’ve seen was a business hotshot i guess who walked into the coffeeshop yesterday morning around when i did who wore this sick ass loud blue and white grid suit
oh we’ve had an on running epidemic too
Very depends on the scene
I work in tech so :harold:
Hah, yeah, I'm honestly impressed it broke the Adidas/Nike duopoly here
lol
Chicagoland? Destitute. Miserable. Even a little stinky.
Also, cold?
montirex?
Right? Technically an outdoors brand. These grim wavey pattern tshirts are everywhere here and I don't understand
Imma have to disagree I think this is how ppl dress in Cap Hill and the like but people mostly dress more casually in the other denser areas.
Georgetown skews very basic euro due to shopper tourist density. Downtown and the Mall is literally students and their parents so it's as basic and schlocky touristy as it gets.
14th St / Dupont / NoMA / Navy Yard, especially the former two, skew way more young professional white collar WFH so they're very luxe athleisure heavy with brands like Lulu and Athleta and Alo and Nike very prominent.
The densest spots like Columbia Heights skew toward streetwear and thrift, boho in the summer. Mt P and Edgewood and the like still have a lot of punks.
I thought montirex was what scousers say when trying to start a fight with jordan pickford
I live in the fashion district of Paris so it’s basically the Fashion Week all year long out there
Im on my way to London in a Kebap place in Brussels rn and this black guy just walzed in in a white super casual cotton suit with nice black prints all over.
In awe rn
Like I never saw anyone remotely that stylish in my neck of the woods
The most stylish man I ever saw in a London kebab shop (Haggerston) was this guy: https://www.toa.st/blogs/magazine/nourishment-ole-hansen

I find Nordic ppl are some of the most consistently well dressed people
You did not work in the same tech office filled with Norwegians as I did. You just see the highlights.
idk, lived in norway and I think from all the countries that i visited and lived in, that norway had among the best 'average' of people dressed well.
Think it has something to do with low wealth inequality, a relatively large middle class, high levels of cultural homogeneity made possible by a relatively small population, the importance placed on clothing and a long history of design in that general region. Like I saw tons of people dressed well - but also indeed similarly to one another - in Copenhagen, and even among people in their late twenties there was an odd emphasis on ‘coolness’ I have otherwise only encountered among teenagers. And obviously trendiness was related to coolness. Could be bullshit speculation on my part but I don’t think it’s an inscrutable mystery either.
can confirm
nah I think you are fully right about it; couldn’t have written it any better!
London has fallen. So many brown suits. /j
