Europeans: Which look / dress most like Americans? (crime rate, places, UK)

[mikopaka]

After watching many nationalities, it all comes to class and money. Rich people usually dress with discrete technical clothing, lots of goratex, brands that are not famous or real brands, concluding, except for russians they don't like to stand out...many dress using the "hobo preppy" or combining very expensive clothing with carrefour (walmart) cloting.

The rest, just incredible, just "chavish" looks...I mean, you can buy cheap good looking clothes, but they don't...they buy those idiotic clothes you mention on your post.

yeah I am a bit flashy, though I dont like to look like a Russian (with the excessive make up, tons of fashion brands to show and so on)"tacky and new money" Italians are also a big like that with their shinny cloths and glasses!!!

Though I was always very interested in fashion, I have a lot of books about Gucci, prada, channel, carolina herrera.... I also design cloths but I am not that great mostly just for my own! I am fashion conscious though I am far from rich (I wish!)

I really hate seeing how we are ripped off though. This summer I will be getting a full suitcase and taking it empty with me and going mad shopping.

I don't even care, every time we come through immigration they don't even look at what we have.

Go to Eastern Europe, cloths there are VERY CHEAP and they have just about any store they have in the west

and its shorter distance, plus no immigration control

I would be a bit wary about visiting there.

Nope. Alcohol and knife fights are not 'rampant', either - but hey, what do I know? I mean, I only live here. Silly me.
